About Damn Time: NFL Makes History With All-Black Referee Crew During Monday Night Football

No Brees, No Problem, The Ravens Ain't Bout That Life and Other Takeaways From Week 11 of the NFL
Another weekend of NFL football is officially in the books. So what’d we learn? I’ll be the first to admit, I drank the Kool-Aid. Coming off a 14-2 season in which Lamar Jackson spent 16 weeks doing his best Usain Bolt impression, the Ravens were early favorites to bounce back from an embarrassing playoff loss…

If you’re a fan of football and funky musings of unrequited love, then this news is especially for you.

Dalvin Cooked the Packers, Javon Wims Has Hands and Other Takeaways from Week 8 of the NFL
Shall we begin? I mean, sure; the fact that their team doctors punctured their own starting quarterback’s lung earlier this season might’ve been a dead giveaway, but after Drew Lock threw a touchdown to KJ Hamler in the final seconds of Sunday’s game to secure a gut-wrenching 31-30 victory, I can confirm that yes, the…

Twitter Points Out the Hypocrisy of Black Athletes Being Told to 'Shut Up and Play' After Jay Cutler, Jack Nicklaus Publicly Endorse Trump
Shut up and dribble. For Black professional athletes, it’s an all too familiar refrain meant to dissuade grown-ass men and women from expressing their personal opinions on relevant issues that affect American society as a whole.

Yes, the Dallas Cowboys Just Cut the Only Player on Their Team to Protest the National Anthem. I Wonder Why?
In case you haven’t noticed, the Dallas Cowboys (2-5) are pretty fucking bad this season.

Cam Gets Benched, Odell Beckham Jr. Out for the Year and Other Takeaways from Week 7 of the NFL
Another week of football is officially in the books. Let’s get to it. Cam Newton is going through it, y’all. If you thought he looked like trash against the Broncos in Week 6, he somehow outdid that putrid performance this weekend against the 49ers. During a brutal 33-6 curb-stomping that extended the Patriots’ losing streak…

The NFL's Black Lives Matter Push Was BS. Majority of NFL PAC Donations Went to Republicans
We should’ve known that once the NFL started loving the movement without the people who helped push the narrative that Black lives matter (yep, Eric Reid and Colin Kaepernick are still without NFL homes) that anything after that was bullshit. Beyoncé’s husband being hired by the NFL was bullshit. The playing of the Black national…

The Seattle Seahawks Are Making Googly Eyes at Free Agent Headache Antonio Brown as His 8-Game Suspension Draws to a Close: 'We're in It'
Antonio Brown is the David Ruffin of the NFL. No matter how much of a fucking pain in the ass he is—from destroying the locker room in Pittsburgh, to calling Raiders general manager Mike Mayock a “cracker” and threatening to beat his face in in Oakland, to getting dropped in New England after sexual misconduct…
