There are 12 teams that have never won the Super Bowl. 20 years from now (assuming our country and NFL still exist in somewhat their current states) how many teams will still have never won the Super Bowl?
Why has it taken so long for people (the media) to recognize and start saying out loud that Jerry Jones doesn’t really care about winning the Super Bowl? It’s been obvious for years
Who are some incredible players from about 20-10 years ago that you think the collective consciousness is forgetting their greatness. (I thought about larry fitzgerald last night)
Some teams turn over their coaching staff and GM's all the time, but continue to flounder. Besides the owner, what other roles tend to get retained and create a perpetual "Culture of Incompetency"?
Are all the changes in the college game (NIL, transfer portal, conference realignment) having an effect on the NFL, either the league itself or the players coming into it?
It may prep players more for the realities of being a professional: churning rosters, free agency, blah blah blah. Also it’ll keep porspects in school longer
Take a look back at human history and see what people have survived through. You and I can be survivors too. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other.
You’re right. Inspiring. As much as I’ll miss not having football next week, we can learn from the lessons of Europeans after World War II and watch soccer, I guess.
If they HAVE to choose, then Fields. They shouldn’t use an early pick for a QB this year because the class is garbage. They should hire a bridge guy then focus on 2026
no player is going to give the requisite 110% if it means risking an injury on a meaningless game and no sane future employer would penalize them for it.
they don't even have to play football. they could just do a series of quickfire challenges.
I remember there was a reasonable fear of CTE making football uninsurable at the youth level, potentially consigning the sport to the same relatively fringe popularity level as, say, boxing. Maybe this was a deadspin take? Thoughts on the likelihood of this now?
That was a circa 2010 take among lefty sportswriters, but it never came to pass. No reason why it would now. As long as there is mankind, there’ll be bloodsports
This will be the twentieth consecutive Super Bowl Monday I've taken as a personal day. If you're not taking a four-day weekend for the game every year, I question whether you fully enjoy the game.
Thanks man. Still can't believe how much things have changed in just 1 year with new coaches and personnel management after all the awful years with that evil owner. Great seeing the fans here finally having a quality organization and some hope for the future
Do you think the season would be improved by running over a longer period of time (same number of games, more byes). Maybe a 17 game, 20 week regular season.
Despite last year's small bump in participation, high school football loses 10K+ kids a year, which equals a full club of potential NFL players each 2-3 years. How long can this go on before the diminished talent pool affects the NFL (and college) game?
With all the Heisman winning QBs that end up with wholly unremarkable (or worse) NFL careers, and solid O-lines making even bad QBs look good, is there room for a college program to start trying to crank out solid offensive linemen and become “O-line U”?
Any chance in hell Vrabel's Patriots look decent next season? I'm pretty high on Maye and I think the team has talent, but I can't say I'm astute enough to predict whether or not it's going to come together quickly.
Are the Raiders going to turn the corner and become a respectable organization again, or are they doomed to silly headline grabs and 4-13 for the foreseeable future?
Is there a good solution to the long term health issues (e.g. concussions) of football players? And what is preventing any such solution from being adopted?

Like what "A.I." pretends to be has already existed for sports for quite awhile.
If not, who was?
…close, exciting game?
…blowout to go to bed early?
…referee shenanigans?!?!

from the field mean that the NFL and Goodell are PRO racism now, or simply ambivalent to racism?
There's a chance that even asking AI to take a shot at it could cause the entire internet to burst into flames.
Australia?
