Veterans Support Kaepernick But things that some people won’t hear, are instances … Continue reading Colin Kaepernick: Rallying For Change

However, not all see it in the same way. In an interview with GQ, Cam Newton spoke about the criticism that he receives. Some of the criticism seems to … Continue reading No Cam Newton, It is About Race
The Arizona Cardinals were a team that showed immense promise last year. Most of the season they would blow teams out, putting the league on notice. The defense was tenacious, the offense was as well and there were stars everywhere. Most of all, the defense missed Tyrann Mathieu in the playoffs. The Carolina Panthers absolutely obliterated the Cardinals in the NFC Championship Game, 49-15. Key … Continue reading 32 Teams In 32 Days: Arizona Cardinals

To continue our 32 Teams in 32 Days NFL Preview, I will take an in-depth look at the New England Patriots. Last year the Patriots entered the season as defending Super Bowl champions. For the first 11 weeks of the season, they looked like they could repeat as champs, but as we all know they ended up losing to the eventual Super Bowl winners in the AFC Championship Game. For Patriots fans that result was definitely heartbreaking, but hey you can’t win them all folks. As far as this upcoming season goes, it will be a challenge for the first four weeks when quarterback Tom Brady will be unavailable to play because of his Deflategate suspension. Despite Brady’s impending absence I think Patriots fans should still have high hopes for their team this season. Now it’s time to look ahead to this team’s 2016-17 season. Here’s what we can expect.
