What we once regarded as the Pro Bowl is now a relic of the past, to be replaced in 2023 by a new weeklong “Pro Bowl Games” event which is a celebration of player skills and features an exciting new format that spotlights flag football.
Great athletes don’t usually make good coaches. Exactly why this is the case is still open for constant discussion. There is no doubt that great athletes possess knowledge of sports that are often unrivaled.
Due to the high employee turnover rate in the NFL, new head coaching positions are always available. Although the Indianapolis Colts and the Carolina Panthers have become the first NFL teams to scout for a new coach, other teams will no doubt join them. Over the last five offseasons, an average of seven NFL head coaching jobs have opened up each year.
We know it might be a bit too early to judge the 2022 NFL draft class. However, if the reports circulating the media lately are true, then some teams are already having one or two regrets about some of their chosen players. What could be the reason for the regrets of choosing these players?
Matt Rhule came into the NFL as one of the most hyped and brightest coaching prospects available during the 2020 hiring cycle. Sadly, he didn’t even make it through two-and-a-half years with the team that hired him.
Once upon a time, head injuries simply used to be all in a day’s work for football players.
Concussions weren’t a common topic in the NFL.
Players who smacked their heads violently on the field were sent back into the game almost immediately.
Today in the NFL, violent falls and hits are taken far more seriously.
Anxiety and excitement usually crawl in when a big game draws close. Sweaty palms and a racing mind are just some of the things that happen when a player remembers that he’s a few moments away from a match that might mark an essential milestone for the team.
The NFL teams are among the richest in the world of sports and the most lucrative investment.
With fans returning to stadiums for the 2021-22 season with the waning of the pandemic, franchise values have gone up an average of 28% from the preceding season.
Three main factors influence the financial success of an NFL team; stadium revenues, the performance of the team, and media contracts.
For professional athletes, injuries come with the job.
At some point in their athletic career, they all have to deal with injuries; some may even be life-threatening.
Injuries tend to occur due to repetitive physical activities that are done either incorrectly or too vigorously.
“We must have football. What would this country be without football in October?”
This was the assessment of writer Hunter. S. Thompson of American culture before he passed away in 2005.
His assessment isn’t wrong. The influence and power of football have led the NFL to touch almost every part of life from TV, politics, food, gaming, and business, down to fashion. And it isn’t stopping anytime soon.
