What is the probability that a given drafted player would go on… Source link

It looked strange when Tyrann Mathieu was sticking a finger in Tom Brady’s face right after Brady threw a touchdown in Super Bowl LV, but Mathieu said he had a reason.

Tom Brady and Tyrann Mathieu are fantastic competitors and they had some words early in Super Bowl LV. Mathieu picked a weird time to continue the war of words.

Read More »Aaron Rodgers should take page from Tom Brady
When a Hall of Fame NFL quarterback unexpectedly invokes the future of his career, it’s a statement. And more often than not, it falls into one of two categories. Either the player is contemplating a significant personal decision or he’s questioning the organization’s dedication to him. Boiled down, that’s what leads elite quarterbacks to curl a question mark around the throat of their offseason. And Aaron Rodgers did exactly that on Sunday night, speaking in gray tones about what… Source link
