College football rankings: Updated Way-Too-Early Top 25
For most college football teams across the FBS, spring practice is either over or will be winding down during the next couple of weeks. But the transfer portal, into which more than 3,600 FBS players have entered this year already, never stops churning. Coaches around the country will look to address weaknesses (and, sadly, recruiting […]
Continue readingNFL mock draft 2022 with all trades: Bill Barnwell proposes deals for all 32 picks, with swaps for Kyler Murray, DK Metcalf, Jimmy Garoppolo
It’s time for one of my favorite annual traditions. After reading dozens of NFL mock drafts without a single trade in sight, I’m compelled to go way too far in the opposite direction. I present the 2022 mock draft of trades, where I’ll provide a plausible (to me) swap for each of the 32 picks […]
Continue readingNFL draft 2022: Ikem Ekwonu’s journey from second-best player in his family to potential No. 1 pick
IKEM EKWONU HAS an uncanny ability to size up a man from the opposite side of the line of scrimmage and instantly decide how he’ll whip the guy. Perhaps it stems from his days as a high school wrestler, when each bout was a mano-a-mano showdown in which dominance must be established. That’s still Ekwonu’s […]

The poor, poor NFC East. Nobody takes it seriously these days. Gone is the NFC Beast moniker. Aside from the AFC South, it’s likely the worst division in the NFL.

The 2022 NFL draft is four weeks away, and I can’t wait. At the moment, 24 teams will have the chance to add at least one impact player in Round 1 — eight teams no longer have a first-round selection — and while this year’s class might be light on surefire franchise quarterbacks, it certainly […]

NFL free agency is approaching, and several teams will look to improve a great deal by signing some of the biggest names on the 2022 open market. Who will sign where? Who are the top free agents? Which teams should be watched closely over the next few weeks? And where will the quarterbacks land? The […]
Continue readingHow Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson shook up NFL betting markets on wild day
The day began with a report that back-to-back MVP Aaron Rodgers had agreed to return to the Green Bay Packers, which naturally shifted the futures market. Just a couple hours later, Russell Wilson was traded to the Denver Broncos in a blockbuster move. Denver’s Super Bowl odds shifted from 22-1 to 12-1 at Caesars Sportsbook, […]

Preparations for the 2022 NFL draft hit high gear this week with more than 300 of the top prospects in Indianapolis for the annual NFL scouting combine, which runs through Monday. Players will undergo medical testing and be put through on-field drills at Lucas Oil Stadium. Then it’s on to interviews with team personnel and […]

Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young and Alabama teammates Will Anderson Jr. and Jameson Williams have been selected as All-Americans by The Associated Press, giving the top-ranked Crimson Tide more players on the first team than any other school.
