Last year, when the NFL determined that the Dolphins had tampered with coach Sean Payton and quarterback Tom Brady, the NFL imposed staggering penalties on owner Stephen Ross: $1.5 million fine, loss of a first-round pick, and a suspension that went from early August until the middle of October. This year, when the NFL (and everyone else) determined that Panthers …

Antonio Pierce has one more chance to, as he has said, improve his résumé on the grass. Like his 4-4 record since replacing Josh McDaniels on Halloween night, Pierce’s résumé is a mixed bag. He has brought energy to what had been a lackluster locker room, and the Raiders defense has been better this season. On the flip side, Pierce …

Going into the final week of the regular season, the Seattle Seahawks find themselves in the exact same position as a year ago when they needed a win and a Packers loss to make the postseason.

He completed 27/40 passes for 378 yards and three touchdowns, becoming the Badgers’ first 300-yard passer since Jack Coan in 2019. Despite the final drive, the senior’s performance deserved to be complemented with a win. It was by far the best game …

Jordan Love was the league’s biggest question mark heading into the season but has since turned into a beautiful mystery for the Packers. Nothing is set in stone, but most signs are pointing toward stardom.  He’s been a top-five QB since the Packers GM admitted Love’s play was “up and down” through the first half of the season. There’s still a …
