The only thing more painful than seeing your team lose a championship is saying goodbye to your favorite athlete. Time comes for us all, but there’s something uniquely heartbreaking when it comes to seeing an athlete you love leave your team. It’s not just the player leaving, but the pain of unrealized potential. Oftentimes it’s saddled with the missed championships, unrealized dreams, and memories of a time when you though you’d see that player hoisting a trophy in your team’s colors. Browns fans are going through that on Friday with the news running back Nick Chubb likely won’t be returning…

Next week kicks off one of the … let’s say, most interesting weeks of the NFL calendar year. The league will release the schedule for the upcoming season. I will concede that if I have a singular curmudgeonly, “get off my lawn” opinion, it is that this is the most pointless event on the NFL calendar. We know each team’s schedule due to the league’s scheduling formula, all we learn is when the games will be held. However, in a quest to truly live by the creed “don’t yuck someone’s yum,” I have grown to at least grudgingly accept this…

There are just some things you don’t do as an NFL team — one is giving away the number of a legendary franchise player to a rookie. That’s the exact thing the Falcons did this week, with Julio Jones’ No. 11 going to Jalon Walker, who Atlanta took in the first round. While it’s fair to note that Walker is simply keeping the number he wore at Georgia, this also feels so wrong. It’s unclear if Jones will ever make it into Canton. The threshold for receivers to make the Pro Football Hall of Fame is unfairly high, and he…
