Spectacular football games in December weather today. This is what they're taking from us when 25 teams play in domes.

And the Lions. Chaos season.

The field in Tampa is getting really chewed up in the rain, and they’ll have to turn it around to host the Falcons on TNF.

Josh Allen vs. Joe Burrow in the snow

Well that’s amusing

I know. Should have just lined up to go for it instead of the silly FG formation thing.

Villanova has a 33-year-old Australian punter who already spent 5 seasons at East Carolina.

Most important football game of the day?

The curse of the NFC East repeat champ outlasted LeBron’s 10-point streak, but it’s going down this year.

We did, and it’s frustrating because most people don’t understand what actually happened. You’re right, it was a product review on a corner of the site our newsroom didn’t know existed. Our union distanced ourselves from it, but most people didn’t see that. Nov 2023: www.newsweek.com/sports-illus...

The Nielsen company has no idea whether I watched Cowboys-Chiefs on Thanksgiving, and frankly I’ll never tell them

Phillies’ Eating Habits Prove There’s More Than One Way to Fuel a Winning Club Bread makers? Skittles aficionados? Philly runs the gamut, illustrating the divide that’s prevalent in sports between healthy eaters and junk food lovers.

Speaking of the Phillies, here is some essential reading on what they eat www.si.com/mlb/phillies...

Mike Kafka managing the final score there, choosing not to go for a fourth-and-1.

That's one of the bigger hits I can remember on a returner since they put in the dynamic kickoff.

Official ruling here is a 13-yard sack. I think that would have been a stroke in golf, but I guess not in field goal kicking.

Assuming a win tonight, the Patriots would clinch the AFC East with a win over the Bills in Week 15, no matter what Buffalo does next week.

December 2025 #PHLNYPR!

On the first of every month, I rank 12 PHL/NY teams and pick a winner.

I gave the Eagles a vibes-based deduction, but they’re still ahead of the Phils. Nearly moved up the Knicks. Nets back in the cellar.

Here’s every year dating back to 2012 ➡️

It's 1:30 a.m. and I'm talking myself into the Texans winning the AFC?

I don't ask for much. I just wanted Terry McLaurin to get the Octopus of the Year in overtime on SNF.

The refs should dramatically count down the clock during the 10-second runoff.

Texans, Bills, Chargers and Jags all winning makes the Chiefs’ odds of reaching the playoffs even slimmer than they were after Thursday’s loss.

The internet would have gone crazy for an NFL QB named Brosmer back in like 2013.

I think you kinda just had to be there.

It’s the 40th anniversary season of Super Bowl XX, and the Bears and Patriots currently hold the No. 1 seeds in their respective conferences
