As the movie "Draft Day" showed football fans, there's a lot of insanity going on behind the scenes when the actual draft day arrives. It was this level of insanity that might have contributed to the Dallas…

Sparks to get the call. In the AHL, Sparks has the second-highest save percentage in the league and was drawing rave reviews, pushing the envelope for a recall.

The age-old argument of Tom Brady vs. Peyton Manning has been going on since Brady was drafted in 2000. Who is the better quarterback? Who’s the best quarterback to ever play in the NFL. It must be one of these two. My money is on Peyton Manning. I don’t want to take shine away from Brady, though, because both are spectacular in their own ways. Let me tell you why it must be Manning. I might be a bit of a bandwagon when it comes to Manning, but there is good reason for it. This man is a God…

if the average American became more aware of the health risks that come along with playing football?

He designed the stadium under his view on professional sports and was able to create an entertainment mecca for the city of Arlington, Texas (12). In 2013, Jerry Jones signed over the naming rights of the stadium to AT&T because he knew this would be good for the…

Last Sunday, the Buccaneers escaped with a win against the New York Giants. Kicker Nick Folk grazed a 34-yard field goal to knock off the Giants 25-23 and send them to 0-4. Folk had previously missed two other field goals and an extra point in the game. The Buccaneers have the New England Patriots on Thursday in Tampa.
