Jerry Jones’ takeback on CeeDee Lamb’s situation is anything but
An interesting study could be conducted regarding the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, Jerry Jones. His level of success has impressed even the most vocal areas of the peanut gallery. Fans never quite know what to expect from him, and the only predictable aspect is unpredictability. An interaction started when the head of the organization made it clear that there wasn't any particular sense of 'urgency' surrounding the looming contract talks with CeeDee Lamb.

Cooper DeJean footage shows rehab progress
Coming back from a hamstring injury can always be a tricky thing. Especially for someone who came off a concern in college that has to do with the same general area. This ongoing journey back to full health has been something worth monitoring since an off-season workout in July landed Cooper DeJean on the non-football injury list (NFI). It's expected for him, barring further setbacks, to be able to see the field for the first week of the regular season.

How Difficult is it to Three-Peat?
It's been said that it's hard to win one championship, and it is. However, winning that big one is an amazing feat. Winning back-to-back, that's even better. I've seen my share of back-to-back defending champions in sports, and that's a big moment to enter the season having been on top for two years straight. Of course, winning back-to-back is called a repeat. If a third one follows, we have the iconic "three-peat."

Kansas City Chiefs: 'Hollywood' Brown cleared post-hospital visit
A lot of story lines surround the Kansas City Chiefs and their wide receiver corps. Regardless of what expectations are for this team, needing to seek emergency medical treatment is not what anyone wishes to see. But for Marquise 'Hollywood' Brown, just one play into the tenure with his new team and playing another down ceased to be an option. His debut showed a brief glimpse of why football fans were excited to watch the connection between him and Patrick Mahomes.

Picking the 2024 College Football Season — The Power Four
The 2024 season is a season of change, this goes without saying. With SMU in Texas, Cal and Stanford both in California now playing in a conference based on the Atlantic Coast, Oregon, Washington, USC, and UCLA playing on a conference littered with East Coast and Midwest schools, and Oklahoma and Texas joining the SEC, we have officially entered the post-geographic era of college football.

New England Patriots preseason game offers signs of optimism
For a New England Patriots fan base that has not seen winning football, early August can be a dangerous time. On the one hand, spectators like to be excited when great plays happen. However, it's crucial to keep in mind that a lot of positives are happening for players who will be by their phones when the season starts hoping for a call. So with that in mind, it's important to keep everything in context, but there are always potential takeaways from football action or game/practice footage even around this time of year.

Not a Purdy Sight (NFC West Preview)
The NFC West never fails to please this humble football fan. I still remember the old geographically incorrect NFC West from my childhood and teenage years, and this current version that has existed since 2002 remains every bit as captivating. I've always been fascinated with this division, and it increased in 2016, when the Rams returned to Los Angeles. Because I live in SoCal, I get to see this madness on my TV a lot, due to location, and also due to how strong the Niners are.

CFL Week 8 Recap: The Rabbit Hole
The Winnipeg Blue Bombers are officially screwed. Saturday's contest between the Blue Bombers and the Toronto Argonauts was close and hotly contested, but in true "appearances can be deceiving manner," this was in spite of the Bombers committing turnovers left and right--four of them, five if you count a crucial one on downs when the Bombers were deep in field goal range. The game ended up going to overtime, which was good, because the Argos needed this one. Plus, CFL overtime is always fun, because anything can happen.

Birds of Prey (NFC South Preview)
You know how people love watching NASCAR for the crashes? And how people love watching hockey for the fights? Also, you know that movie or show that is absolutely awful, yet you can't bring yourself to get away from it? That's the NFC South. The NFC South has been the trainwreck of trainwrecks for the last two seasons now. In each of the last two years, it's only taken nine wins to take the division, and the team leading the division has had a losing record two-thirds into the season both times.
