NFL 2025

Welcome back to the gridiron.  After an incredible season last year, we’ll have our first taste of the NFL tonight in Canton, Ohio.  This will be your spot for news and notes throughout the year.  Just remember to be respectful and have fun.

Welcome back to football!  The NFL is back as the preseason is kicking off now with the Chargers playing the Lions.  Updates to come.

The Chargers beat the Lions, 34-7.

I am so terrified right now.  The Lions vs. Falcons preseason game ended with the Lions winning, 17-10, after the Lions’ Morice Norris was taken off the field in an ambulance with a serious injury.

The season has not started yet and tempers are already flaring.  The Panthers’ Xavier Legette and the Browns’ Rayshawn Jenkins were ejected after trading blows in a 30-10 Browns win.

I forgot about the NFL connection to this story when it broke, so here it is.  According to Pete Thamel and Dan Wetzel, Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh was given a 10-year show-cause penalty from the NCAA for the Michigan sign-stealing scandal.  Additionally, Michigan was fined more than $20 million, Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore was suspended three games and Connor Stalions was given an eight-year show-cause penalty.

With 10 days left until the NFL season, I was wondering who would be your No. 1 pick for your fantasy team.  Mine would be Saquon Barkley.

I do not like this at all.  According to Adam Schefter, defensive end Micah Parsons was traded from the Cowboys to the Packers and agreed on a four-year, $188 million contract that made Parsons the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history.

UPDATE:  Actually, in my slightly biased mind, this seems like a trade where both teams will win.  According to Schefter, the Cowboys received defensive tackle Kenny Clark and two first-round picks for Parsons.
