The in-season version of Hard Knocks officially wrapped this week and in case you were unaware it spent the last few weeks chronicling the Dallas Cowboys and the NFC East as a whole.

Not all heroes wear capes. Some of them wear a Chet’s sweatshirt and carry a microphone and a full-size printout of the Seattle Seahawks head coach. Yes, Kyle Brandt of Good Morning Football has fallen in love with the Seahawks, and hit the streets of New York to test a growing theory: That nobody knows […]
The Ian Cunningham situation has been put on the back-burner around here for obvious reasons. So, let’s play catch-up while we have a moment: Cunningham, the Bears’ assistant general manager, interviewed with the Atlanta Falcons for the team’s president of football position last Friday.

Good news! The Seattle Seahawks only have two players on the active roster with a game designation status for Saturday’s NFC Divisional Round battle with the San Francisco 49ers. Bad news!

The Buffalo Bills last official injury report ahead of their Divisional Round playoff game against the Denver Broncos reads a bit like Chaucer’s “The Canterbury Tales”: It’s a lengthy read with an ensemble cast.

The Philadelphia Eagles signed free agent Jose Ramirez to a reserve/future contract on Thursday afternoon, according to an official team announcement. Ramirez, a six-time All-Star, hit 30 home runs for the Cleveland Guardians last year while posting a 5.8 WAR. Oh, wait, sorry, that’s José Ramírez. Jose Ramirez is an edge rusher who had very […]
Ten days ago, Liverpool drew Fulham 2-2 with Florian Wirtz scoring their first goal. The goal was ruled onside using semi-automated offside technology. For Liverpool fans, that was the end of it.

I know that the season’s over, but I still wanted to briefly break down this last game, as I thought it was interesting to see Vic Fangio vs. Kyle Shanahan. While the defense didn’t have their best night, this was far from a unit collapsing or getting exposed. This felt like a group that had […]
Ozzy Trapilo was making progress with each passing week before his season-ending injury against the Green Bay Packers in the Chicago Bears’ win on wild-card weekend, which is why it hurts knowing that he won’t play in the team’s NFC Divisional Round game agaimst the Los Angeles Rams. The rookie second-round pick made six starts at left tackle in the regular season before making his playoff debut last week. In his 567 regular-season snaps, Pro Football Focus had Ozzy Trapilo earning a 72.5...
