As he always does around this time of year, CBS Sports Senior Writer Pete Prisco released his list of the Top 100 players in the NFL. Once again, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes checks in at the very top of said list. That is wholly unsurprising.  There are some surprises on there, though, even if they don’t come inside the …

We are less than three months away from opening night of the 2024 NFL season, when the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs will host the Baltimore Ravens on Sept. 5. We’ve already seen blockbuster deals, surprise trades and major players retiring, and there’s still plenty of offseason to go.  Last season we saw some younger players emerge as stars, while others …

Jun. 19—URBANA — Some college football programs — good ones and bad — keep their assistant coaches away from the media. With few exceptions. It’s the whole “one voice” gobbledygook that makes no sense. And limits the exposure for the outside world to a lot of very smart people. Give Illinois coach Bret Bielema credit. He allows his coaches to …

The 2024 NFL Draft is all about projection, but teams spend a lot of money to take as much guesswork as possible out of the equation.

As the presiding judge ponders whether to dump the Sunday Ticket class action based on his belief that the plaintiffs’ lawyers are screwing the pooch (it’s an industry term), plenty of facts point to the notion that the NFL deliberately rigged the price of the out-of-market Sunday Ticket package to protect the CBS and Fox in-market packages. Plenty don’t. Former …

Nowadays, to be selected to the Pro Bowl is all but a ceremonial honor, with the NFL’s recent skills competition format replacing the full-contact exhibition. In some cases, the exclusivity of being selected has also changed, with frequent opt-outs enabling lesser-known players (see: former Baltimore Ravens backup Tyler Huntley) to inherit all-star credentials. Even still, few accolades are more widely …

The Kansas City Chiefs had every intent to remain at Arrowhead Stadium, extending the lease in a renovated facility and stadium complex that would keep the franchise in the state of Missouri for the next several decades. The renovation plans still have a hurdle to clear, however, and the state of Kansas is officially ready to pounce.  Kansas lawmakers approved …

Getty Images J.J. McCarthy’s first public throw as a professional athlete did not go according to plan. The No. 10 overall pick of the Minnesota Vikings was invited to throw out the first pitch before the Twins’ Tuesday night matchup against the Tampa Bay Rays, and it’s probably a toss he’d like to have back. The Michigan product threw his …

Getty Images Ranking season is in full swing around the NFL, none bigger than Pete Prisco’s Top 100 list. Prisco ranks the elite players in the NFL every June, with some controversy, of course (this is a rankings list, after all). The quarterbacks are under center (pun intended) to kick off the debate. Who did Prisco rank as his top …
