The NFL levied more than $340k in player fines in Week 5. The “No Fun League” continues acting more like a criminal organization than a professional sports league. But is anyone surprised?
The road to Super Bowl LVIII in February is paved with more than a few potholes. However, less than 10 NFL teams remain legitimate contenders for the Vince Lombardi Trophy after six weeks of action. Parity is a foreign word in America’s favorite professional sports league.
When the Las Vegas Raiders visit Soldier Field on Sunday to battle the Chicago Bears, football fans will be treated to a matchup featuring journeyman quarterback Brian Hoyer facing off against Tyson Bagent. Tyson who? Both Justin Fields and Jimmy Garoppolo are inactive for the Week 7 encounter, and the bookies have noticed. The battle of the backups has a projected 37.5 points, a testament to the quarterbacks under center.
The NFL Hall of Fame was created as a tribute to football’s greatest players, coaches, and other individuals who significantly impacted the game. However, Deion Sanders was right when he said the Hall of Fame had lost its luster. This once prestigious memorial has become a collection of good but not great players.

The NFL trade deadline is just weeks away, and more than a few big-name players could be dealt to new teams in cost-cutting moves.

The NFL has only two undefeated teams heading into Week 5. Coincidentally, both the San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles have one of the league’s top running backs. Imagine that.
The running back position has been devalued by general managers in a cost-cutting move. Teams use running backs like dishwashers use sponges. Use them until they fall apart, then replace them with a new one. It’s an inhumane strategy that makes the NFL a morally corrupt organization with no conscience.
Since being drafted in the fourth round seven years ago, journeyman quarterback Joshua Dobbs has suited up for six different teams, including two stints with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Cleveland Browns. He is living proof that so-called NFL experts are not experts at all.
A tale of two quarterbacks is the main storyline for this week’s showdown, pitting two of the NFL’s top teams. When the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers clash Sunday night in primetime time, all eyes will be on Brock Purdy and Dak Prescott. And for good reason.
