While it would be inaccurate to say that the two separate fourth-down failures committed by the Detroit Lions in the second half of the NFC Championship game cost them a trip to the Super Bowl, it would be fair to say that they really didn’t help. Why is Detroit’s Dan Campbell under fire? Yes, the Detroit Lions committed a number of errors on Sunday night against the 49ers that, had they not,…

NBA Trade Rumors: Celtics Will Be ‘Aggressive’ in Pursuing Bench Depth The Boston Celtics are expected to be active in the trade market as they look to add depth to their bench, per Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium. The NBA insider noted that the Celtics still have assets available to move after the Jrue Holiday trade over the offseason. Charania believes Boston will be looking to pivot those assets into depth on the bench. “They’re going to be aggressive in just seeing what could be out there for bench help,” Charania said on Run It Back on Monday (1:20 mark). The…
Clayton Tune Struggles Heavily in Cardinals Offensive Disaster The Arizona Cardinals faced a brutal beatdown on the road, picking up just 58 yards of offense in a 27-0 shutout against the Cleveland Browns. Following the Week 8 loss to Baltimore–a game which pitted many Arizona Cardinals fans against QB Joshua Dobbs–head coach Jonathan Gannon made the decision to dethrone Dobbs and eventually announced fifth-round rookie Clayton Tune as the starting quarterback. Dobbs was subsequently traded to the Minnesota Vikings in the final hours of the league’s trade deadline. Safe to say, Tune’s debut game was a complete disaster in Week 9’s 27-0…
The Green Bay Packers haven’t shied away from making blockbuster trades over the past couple of offseasons, though they have often sold the big name in return for draft assets. Green Bay could flip to the other side of the coin once free agency hits in March and make a move for a known name on a pricey deal, though perhaps one that doesn’t lock the organization into a pre-negotiated contract beyond 2024. Bleacher Report’s Scouting Department on Monday, January 29, mapped out an offseason trade guide for the Packers, suggesting that Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker should be Green…
These days, that word feels like it carries a different meaning when it comes to the lexicon of college football. OK, during these strangest of college football times, every word feels like it carries an altered definition from the one it was assigned oh so many years ago. Like, I dunno, 2019? As Jim Harbaugh departs the college game for the NFL Cinematic Universe, completing his trilogy of transitions from campus to the big leagues — Michigan to the Chicago Bears as a QB in 1987, Stanford to the San Francisco 49ers as a head coach in 2011 and now…
It turns out it wasn’t just fans who were perplexed with Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell’s fourth-down decision-making in Sunday’s NFC Championship Game loss to the San Francisco 49ers. One former head coach highlighted the decision to not allow Michael Badgley to kick a potentially game-tying field goal in the fourth quarter as particularly frustrating. “To say the guy might miss the kick is ridiculous,” the coach told Mike Sando of The Athletic. “The guy might drop the ball, and the ball might get batted, and a defensive lineman might beat a guard and hit the quarterback. “Whatever you…
After enjoying deep October runs in each of the last two seasons, the Philadelphia Phillies seem to be just a few pieces shy of winning it all. And with some notable players in their farm system, they might soon flip future potential for a better chance to win now. Zachary Rymer of Bleacher Report reported that the Phillies are a top destination for reigning All-Star closer Emmanuel Clase in a hypothetical trade that would send outfielder Justin Crawford and third baseman Aidan Miller to the Cleveland Guardians. “Though the Phillies’ two best prospects are both pitchers, Crawford and Miller rank…
This is the nightmare scenario for the Braves, but one that can’t be ignored. Every baseball fan that hasn’t been living under a rock has seen what the Dodgers have done this offseason. After committing over a billion dollars this offseason to Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, and others, LA has clearly pushed their chips in to try and become a dynasty for the next decade. The argument for why the Dodgers could be a threat to sign Fried is a simple one: they are loaded, they are incredibly good, and they can’t afford to take their foot off…
The University of Michigan was prepared to make Jim Harbaugh the highest-paid head coach in all of college football but, according to a report from NBC Sports, that still wasn’t enough to match the offer the Los Angeles Chargers used to lure Harbaugh away from the Wolverines. According to NBC’s Mike Florio, the Chargers are set to pay Harbaugh an annual salary of $16 million per year over the course of a five-year, $80 million contract in the head coach’s return to the NFL. According to multiple reports, Michigan offered Harbaugh a 10-year contract extension worth $125 million in an…
