The National Football League (NFL) has been in existence for just over a century and during that time the league has seen a lot of names that were indicative of the somewhat unorganized and identity-seeking era of pro football. With that, I think it’d be fun to look back at five of these names and […]

COVID-19 may be claiming yet another alternative football league. The Canadian Football League (CFL) is requesting up 150 million dollars. Per The Canadian Press: “The proposal included $30 million immediately, additional funds if there’s a pro-rated campaign and the potential of $120 million more if the league was forced to cancel the entire 2020 season.” […]

Oh, yay, Rob Gronkowski is coming back. Just what the National Football League (NFL) needs, more old men who are getting attention for nostalgic purposes.

The Oakland Panthers are already one of my favorite stories of the Indoor Football League (IFL) this year as the team is partially-owned by NFL legend and local hero Marshawn Lynch.

I think a lot of people want an XFL video game. Some former Madden players have jumped to Maximum Football and Axis Football to try the new alternatives to the EA Sports behemoth of a franchise.
