There’s always that team that people only talk about when they lose. What’s ignored is how good the team actually was, and then sometimes…they break through when you least expect it.

The Raiders are one of the greatest franchises in NFL history. Period. Their greatest teams played in the 70s, and it’s a shame it produced only one trophy.

They say that money is the root of all evil. Although that may not always be the case, it can sure mess up a good thing…Especially in sports.

Albert Einstein once said, “Three great forces rule the world: stupidity, fear, and greed.“ I’d add to that impatience, all of which can come back to bite you!

It’s easy to say a team got old and somebody retired, but, the details of a great franchises demise can be a lot more interesting.

The NFL has a long history. Within that history, there are some franchises that have since fallen off from greatness. There are others you had no idea were great at all!

Age, injury, and infighting between coaches and owners aren’t the only way dynasties end. Sometimes, there are just more important things than sports, like serving your country.

To continue a dynasty, sometimes the answers are right under your nose, and you have no idea. And sometimes history has a way of repeating itself.

When we speak of dynasties, we only talk about how they were built and how long they lasted. But we never talk about how they end.

The 2022 NFL draft is over, and we have no idea how any of the picks are going to do. Still, the stories behind these athletes are amazing. Whether your team got it right or wrong, we shall see.

NFL player evaluation has gone from simple newspapers and magazines to poking and prodding from scouts (both mentally and physically) in combines and pro days. Here is its genesis.

In his life and career, Burt Bell not only played the game, coached the game, and was the second commissioner in NFL history, he gave us the NFL draft. Why is that so special?

For four seasons, the AAFC was a threat to the NFL. But, a great man once said that no one can run a business losing money every year, no matter how many people are coming to your games.

By the end of the first All America Football Conference season in 1946, the new league would learn three things. Have a good owner, a good coach, and good talent on the field. Some teams didn’t have enough of any of those things.

Between 1926 and 1945, five professional football leagues tried and failed trying to keep up with the NFL. One did, ultimately producing some of the greatest teams, players, and coach in NFL history.

As we wrap up our March continuation of NFL black history, we’ve seen many teams go on to greatness after bringing in black players… except for one that blatantly refused. The Kennedy administration would have something to say about that.

Being a black athlete in the late 19th and early 20th century took a strength I can’t even begin to understand. Yet, there are plenty of success stories during the re-integration of pro football in spite of the odds against them.

So, who came after Kenny Washington, Woody Strode, Bill Willis, and Marion Motley? The first African-Americans to play pro football in 13 years? More. Many more, and they showed the NFL what it had been missing.

The 1939 UCLA Bruins made NCAA history by playing four African Americans on their football team. If not been for their fame and undefeated season, NFL history would not have been made in 1946.

For a 13 year period, there were zero African-Americans in pro football. That all changed in 1946 as we highlight the NFL‘s “Forgotten Four”.

I absolutely love NFL stories, and those from the Super Bowl are among the best! After picking six of my favorites I have learned a couple of things. Security needs to tighten up in the locker room and you can almost win MVP with a hangover.

In the history of the Super Bowl there are the haves and have nots. Winners and losers. But you can’t ignore the games that were “almost won”. We take a look back on the Super Sunday history of the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals.

As Super Bowl 56 is set, we continue on our journey on some of the greatest playoff games in NFL history!

The NFL Playoffs! The greatest one-and-done tournament this side of March Madness! On the way to the Lombardi Trophy, there are some games coaches, players, and fans love to relive. Others, well, they leave a scar that never heals.

Not every great coach has a championship under his belt. Three of 22 coaches in the Pro Football Hall of Fame are without a championship. But, if a coach takes two different teams to the Super Bowl four times, isn’t he Hall of Fame worthy?
