To be honest, I completely forgot about this weekly series in the wake of the Damar Hamlin situation. That’s really the only football-related story I’ve been paying attention to this week. On top of that, I felt it would’ve been disrespectful to sort of “move on” and resume normal business as usual regarding the NFL.… Read More NFL Week 18 Tiers, Reactions and Every Team Described in One Sentence
I spent most of the evening glued to my phone constantly refreshing Twitter for updates on the Damar Hamlin situation. Obviously all my thoughts and prayers are with him, his family and his teammates. Nobody should ever die on a football field—playing the game they love. When I heard Joe Buck say they were doing… Read More Hoping and Praying that Damar Hamlin Pulls Through 🙏
He’s had enough: His numbers are great but the real telling stat is that the Lakers are +64 when he’s on the floor and -68 when he’s off over the last 9 games. So basically they squander whatever lead he’s built every time he goes to the bench–and in only 1/3 of the minutes it… Read More Has LeBron Finally Reached His Breaking Point with the Lakers Front Office?
Kind of a surprise given that the Raiders aren’t officially eliminated from the playoffs yet: Not only is Carr benched, he’s basically been kicked off the team: I mean, come on, does anybody buy this? “To avoid the distractions,” the Raiders are saying. When a QB gets benched he normally sits there, on the sideline,… Read More Derek Carr Has Been Benched in Vegas — Has He Played his Last Game for the Raiders?
The Chargers have just beaten the Colts on MNF and clinched a playoff berth for the first time in Justin Herbert’s career. I’m happy about that, because Herbert is definitely too good to not be in the playoffs. Here are my new tiers for week 17. A lot of people are moving the Cowboys up… Read More NFL Week 17 Tiers and Reactions: Zach Wilson Defrauded the Jets, Hackett Gets Canned after 15 Games
Here we go: Again, no team, in my view, deserves to be elevated up to that Death Star tier, even the 13-1 Eagles. It’s not because they went on the road to Chicago and got caught up in a dog-fight with a 3-11 team. I understand stuff like that can happen when it’s late in… Read More NFL Week 16 Tiers: Every Team Summarized in One Sentence; Refs Are Ruining the League
Here we go, hot off the presses following the Patriots’ 27-13 win over the Cardinals on Monday Night Football: Okay, the Eagles might really be in the Death Star tier. Now 12-1, they appear to be getting better, actually, which is kind of rare when it comes to these teams that have extremely dominant regular… Read More NFL Week 15 Tiers | Every Team Summarized in One Sentence | PLUS: NFL QBS AS NBA PLAYERS
I’m getting more and more nuanced and elaborate with the tiers: At this point in the season, I felt it necessary to leave the top tier empty. Nobody is worthy of being up there. Many years there isn’t a team worthy of being put up in that Death Star tier. I’m talking a team like… Read More NFL WEEK 14 TIER LIST | EACH TEAM DESCRIBED IN ONE SENTENCE
Let’s start first with the tiers. I’ve added a few categories that I think give it some more nuance: I know the Eagles won and improved to 9-1, which is the best record in the league, but I still have some serious concerns about them. They seemed to get their run defense figured out in… Read More NFL Week 11 Tiers, Hot Takes and Takeaways: the Jets Offense is TRASH
Okay, Monday Night Football has just concluded and the Eagles are undefeated no longer. And I’m kicking them out of the top-tier club. Philly did not look good tonight. Their inability to stop the run for most of that game enabled Washington to hold a 40 to 20 minute advantage in time of possession. I… Read More NFL Week 10 Tiers, Hot Takes and Reactions
