What is going on with the New York Jets? They got off to a 3-0 start and since then they have lost three straight games in a span of fourteen days. This defense looks sluggish and at times lost on the football field. That doesn’t seem like a Rex Ryan ...

The 49ers did not really go into the bye week the way they wanted to. Even though they went into their off-week with a 3-2 record and a lead in the NFC West, the last game they played they got belted by the Atlanta Falcons and looked pitiful on offense. ...

Jim Zorn is the talk of the town in Washington D.C. and across the National Football League. And it's not for anything positive that he's done recently. Zorn is essentially the laughing stock of the league - at least among the vast fanbase here in the States and abroad. The ...
