It’s never happened before in the history of the sport, but according to Tom Brady the concept of playing in the NFL at age 50 doesn’t seem difficult. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have their iconic quarterback hosting the Tommy & Gronky show with tight end Rob Gronkowski, where the two answer what is supposed to be “the internet’s most searched questions.” Most of the topics fall short of what’s actually trending on Google, but Gronk put Brady under a little bit of pressure with one of the questions. “Can Tom Brady play until 50 years old?” the tight end read....

FYI: just a respectful 9/11 tribute, and the national anthem was all. No politics Now, there is football. PS. Masks required for all, but all i see is faces of Steelers and Bills fans.

For the 2021 football season, the National Football League (NFL) will permit its players to display far-left propaganda on their outfits, and the league will even provide six different phrases for players to choose from for display on their helmets during games, as Fox News reports. The six phrases that players can have emblazoned on their helmets are: “Black Lives Matter,” “End Racism,” “Stop Hate,” “Inspire Change,” “It Takes All Of Us,” and “Say Their Stories.” In addition, the league will allow home teams to have one of two phrases written across the end zones of their fields: “End Racism”...

Kirk Herbstreit Has A Message For Clemson, Georgia Fans Thursday night’s college football TV schedule: The season kicks off in earnest a man wearing a helmet: Mitchell Leff/Getty Images© Provided by The Big Lead Mitchell Leff/Getty Images Cam Newton was somewhat surprisingly released by the New England Patriots earlier this week as Bill Belichick has found a new chosen one in Mac Jones. Newton, a former MVP who the organization thought enough of to give a try replacing the legendary Tom Brady, is now a man without a team. Which isn't crazy right now but will get increasingly more crazy...

The NFL will continue to jam social justice messages down the throats of fans this season. In 2020, the league allowed players to wear social justice message decals on their helmets and the fields featured messages about racism. Well, the NFL has apparently still not learned that fans just want to focus on football because the messages are sticking around. According to The Associated Press, players will still be able to wear social justice messages on their helmets and fields will be painted with “It Takes All of Us” and “End Racism.” NFL senior vice president of social responsibility Anna...

The NFL is hellbent on getting 100% of players “vaccinated” with the controversial Covid jab. But one has to wonder why the push when so many players and coaches are testing positive AFTER taking the so-called “vaccination”.The NFL has implemented all kinds of draconian and segregationist policies to make the choice not to get “vaccinated” miserable while giving those who took the jab plenty of slobbering praise and admiration.For example, those who refuse the jab must sit out five days if they come in contact with anyone known to test positive, but “vaccinated” players don’t have to. Oppressive masking and...

The National Football League (NFL) recently joined virtually every other American institution in lauding — and marketing to — the LGBT community during Pride Month in June. It did so by releasing a new 30-second commercial proudly proclaiming that "football is gay, lesbian, queer, transgender, bisexual and exciting." The ad begins by stating "football is gay" to the sound of drums rolling and people cheering. (I'm not sure what Dick Butkus would have to say about this advertisement, but I digress.) f you love this game, you are welcome here. Football is for all. Football is for everyone. The NFL...

The NFL has sent a memo instructing all 32 teams to develop a method for identifying players, coaches, and employees who have received the coronavirus vaccine. In a five-page memo released last week and obtained by Pro Football Talk, the league informed teams of a requirement to develop a system for identifying fully-vaccinated “Tier 1 and Tiers 2 personnel.” Players and coaches fall under the Tier 1 category. “We recommend utilizing color coded wristbands or credentials, however clubs are free to implement other methods,” the memo stated. While identifying personnel who have been vaccinated, such a system would also make...

The National Football League (NFL) will be playing the “Black National Anthem” as “a prominent part of all big league events,” including the Super Bowl, NFL Playoffs, NFL Draft, and NFL Kickoff game, according to a new report. The NFL also played the anthem, “Lift Every Voice And Sing,” during the first week of the 2020 season. The Daily Wire notes that the NFL already featured Alicia Keys and the Cleveland All-City Choir singing “Lift Every Voice and Sing” before Super Bowl LV and even before the 2021 NFL Draft.

The 30 second advert produced by the NFL, which was described by TMZ as being a “powerful video,” declares in white text on a black background that “football is gay,” in a move apparently designed to show solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community. Further descriptors of what the NFL claim football is then pop up on screen, including “lesbian,” “queer,” “exciting,” “transgender,” “heart,” “power,” “bisexual,” and finishes by saying that football is “for everyone.”

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Carl Nassib on Monday became the first active NFL player to come out as gay. “What’s up people,” Nassib said in a video posted to Instagram on Monday. “I’m at my house in West Chester, Pennsylvania. I just wanted to take a quick moment to say that I’m gay. I’ve been meaning to do this for a while now but finally feel comfortable getting it off my chest. I really have the best life, the best family, friends and job a guy can ask for. “I’m a pretty private person so I hope you guys...

As liberals continue to attack the Jacksonville Jaguars and Tim Tebow over supposed “white privilege,” they ignore the fact that Colin Kaepernick made a mockery of the NFL’s offer to continue his career. Twitter went wild on Monday when news broke that the Jags were set to give Tebow a shot at renewing his pro football career. Many leftists accused the NFL of indulging “white privilege” for allowing Tebow to get another shot at the NFL while Colin Kaepernick remains unsigned. But what these detractors have ignored to push their narrative is that Colin Kaepernick refused repeated opportunities to continue...

When Tim Tebow retired from baseball in February after a run as a Mets minor-leaguer, it appeared to spell the end of his athletic career. But in a stunning twist, the former Jets and Broncos quarterback is attempting an NFL comeback as a tight end, according to multiple reports. The 33-year-old reached out to the Jacksonville Jaguars requesting an opportunity to try out as a tight end, ESPN reported. Tebow went through a workout with the team’s tight ends coach, according to NFL Network, and the Jaguars have had “at least some discussion” of signing him. Jaguars coach Urban Meyer...

The league that began their season with near empty stands and then chased away television viewers by turning their gameday experience into a platform for social justice messaging, announced on Wednesday that all teams will have to be at or under a salary cap of $182.5 million by 4:00 PM EST on March 17. The $182.5 million figure represents a $15.7 million drop from the $198.2 million cap the league had last year.
