What is the Rooney Rule? The Rooney Rule was established to encourage diversity in coaching or any top management position in the National Football League. It required teams to interview a minority candidate before making a head coach or head management hire. Do NFL officials still need the Rooney Rule? Yes, the Rooney Rule has helped force owners to cast a wide net, going from who you know system to who’s the best system. What should be done about the lack of minority coaches and general managers

Often times, professional athletes are role models and revered heavily by the media, franchise, and the organization that the athlete performs for. However, to see a pro athlete fall and suffer due to accusations and evidence brought against them is a very serious issue. There have been so many past court cases where professional athletes have had to pay for their actions against their organization or against society. Athletes are not above the law, but they are generally portrayed to be seen above

1. New England Patriots: 6-0 (1) For the third time in the Tom Brady era, the Patriots are 6-0. The other two times (2004 and 2007) the team went on to play in the Super Bowl era. Tom Brady is arguably playing the best football of his career. The team is extremely versatile, co constantly adapting their game plans to fit their opponents. One week after running up a storm against the Colts, the Patriots ran the ball a mere nine times, five oh which were by Tom Brady. The Patriots get better and

I never understood NFL free agency. It seems as though, it is a way for an athlete to make as much money as they possibly can over the length of their career. It is a way for teams to sign players whose contracts have expired and are free to play for whomever they choose. These athletes are catered to, flown everywhere just for the possibility of them signing with their team. But, sometimes, teams have to cut players that have helped them win over the years. As a football fan, in most cases

Tom Brady is obviously better than Peyton Manning in so many ways but the main reason on why he’s a better Quarterback is because Brady has more Super Bowl rings than Peyton Manning and that is everything to a player. Another thing that will prove that Brady is the superior Quarterback is that he has the important Stats locked down. Like for example the interception rate, Brady’s is extremely low compared to Peyton Manning and a lot of other Quarterbacks too. Now you know you’re better than Peyton

What is football? Football is a sport where you can shine and show your potential talent. For most people football is not just a game; it is more than that, it is a job as much as it is a lifestyle. For most athletes, when you step out onto the field you forget what is really going on in your life. However, for a professional quarterback, you cannot just forget about the world and play the sport. The quarterback has many responsibilities since they are the most valuable player on the field, so they

Dallas Cowboys fans are probably wondering how their team will fare in 2016. At the end of the 2014 season, Dallas finished with an impressive 12-4 record, only to be knocked out of the playoffs on a controversial call. Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo threw a fourth down pass to Dez Bryant and Bryant seemed to make the catch, but officials ruled the pass incomplete, stating that Bryant failed to keep possession of the ball after reaching for the end zone. A possible Cowboys run to the Super Bowl was

When deflate-gate first happened I thought to myself, why not just tell the truth. Immediately it became a circus. Why try and play the aloof card? There is no doubt in my mind that Tom Brady had something to do with footballs being deflated. It is an absurd thought that an equipment manager of such a high profile quarterback would take a decisions like deflating the footballs into his own hands. The thing that really bugs me about the whole thing, is that if Tom Brady would have just admitted it

The Chiefs are better than the Colts when you compare them to each other. The Chiefs record is 13 and 6 since the beginning of last year. The Chiefs had a good enough record last season to be able to make it to playoffs. In the playoffs they played the Houston Texans and beat them then lost to the New England Patriots. Since last year the Colts have a losing record of 9 and 10. They lost their division and didn’t make the playoffs. I think the Chiefs are better than the Colts because the Chiefs
