The Minnesota Vikings season has come to an end. It’s a season that ended on a five-game win streak that feels a little superficial. The results weren’t what the team wanted.

I probably fall somewhere in the middle on the Cynical Scale when it comes to “Team X is interested in Play A” rumors, knowing that there is typically a minimal measure of truth to them, but also that there is almost always an agenda behind (1) the rumor getting out and (2) how the rumor is framed by the originating source. For that reason, I try to walk myself – and you – through a report in a way that contemplates a number of layers, without simply buying or dismissing it whole cloth. ...

See, the thing about being a playoff team, which is what the Houston Texans are this year, is you have no idea what your draft pick is at the end of the regular season. Other teams are “lucky” in that respect that they don’t have to guess anymore. But this is the world we live […]
The Arizona Cardinals have fired head coach Jonathan Gannon per multiple reports from Ian Rapoport and Adam Schefter: Gannon has been a question for the final part of the season as the Arizona Cardinals lost nine straight games, and was 15-36 overall.
