This past offseason provided some drama that we have not seen in a while. Sure, every offseason some players feel like they should be paid more, however, rarely does the stock of an entire position fall so far that players like Dalvin Cook (arguably, top ten at his position) struggle to get the […]
Yikes. Most were anticipating some type of regression for the 2023 Vikings, however, it was supposed to happen after week one. The Vikings were 5.5 point home favorites against a Buccaneers team led by Baker Mayfield, this figured to be one of the team’s easier matchups of the season. And then in, what can […]
A line coined by Jim Collins in his famous book titled “Good to Great.” In the book, Collins lays out the harsh reality that it is in fact, good that is the enemy of great. The comfort of being good can be a source of complacency for businesses, relationships, or even football teams, ultimately preventing achieving […]
The 2021 NFL Draft was the last draft for the long-time HC and GM duo Mike Zimmer and Rick Spielman. While many remember the trade back and selection of rising young star Christian Darrisaw in the first round, not as many remember the disaster day two of the draft for the Vikings.

They might’ve gotten kicked off the team for misbehavior, […]
The term ‘rebuilding’ is often a term used in sports to describe a team that departed with key and veteran players, and possibly coaching staff and members of the front office after a string of or one losing season. We saw the Jacksonville Jaguars go through a rebuild in recent years, as they released or […]
The draft came to an end this Sunday and Jared Goff haters were devastated when the Lions left the first round without a quarterback, and passed up on projected top-ten pick Will Levis not once, but twice. The Lions traded back from the sixth pick in the draft to the twelfth and drafted Alabama running […]
And just like that, the draft is over. As always, the weekend flew by after months and months of scouting, speculation, and sleepless nights. And, as always, it’s all worth it. Nothing beats the NFL Draft. To see your team get the guy you want or to see a player you love have his dreams […]
We are less than one week away from the 2023 NFL Draft. With draft day being so close, I want to start zeroing in on certain prospects that I think the Lions could legitimately select on each day of the draft. We will start with day 1 (round 1), then work our way through days 2 […]
