Let's All Take A Moment To Acknowledge How Amazing It Is That The Seattle Seahawks Made The Freaking Playoffs

Should-be Defensive Rookie of the Year TARIQ WOOLEN. These guys banded together and led the Seattle Seahawks to one of the most improbable NFL playoff berths ever. At the very bottom of most power rankings. Except it worked out better than anyone in the Emerald City could’ve possibly fathomed. It was actually Wilson’s new Broncos team that had the year from hell. I totally get why the Seahawks are lost in the larger NFL discussion right now....

There's Nothing Quite Like When A Celtics Win Gives You A Totally Uncalled For Heart Attack

On numerous occasions over the next few months you’re going to see the Celts grind out wins. Like you, I too enjoy the performances like we saw against MIL or DAL. Who couldn’t love when this team plays near perfect basketball and kicks the shit out of someone. But I’ve also been wtaching this team and this league for a long time.

Jim Irsay: Losing His Goddamn Mind or World Class Actor & Tanking Genius?

The Athletic(paraphrased by me) -Jim Irsay had long been vehemently against owners meddling in football decisions. He had essentially gotten rid of Carson Wentz before that game even ended. From there on, he slowly lost trust in everyone. It got worse as this season went on. The Colts kept losing. Colts coaches across the team slowly started leaving for other jobs. And now the Colts are 4-11-1. To the layman, kinda looks Jim Irsay is losing his goddamn mind....

In Honor Of The NFL Possibly Deciding Where Playoff Games Will Be Played Via Coin Flip, Let's Look At The Greatest Coin Flips In History

Oh “nothing” is wrong, eh? Overall I’m a pretty big proponent of coin flips. And every time she gets furious and then just makes a choice. Is there a prerequisite for being an NFL Insider that you better be an awkward, cringey mega-dork? What is with these guys?
