This week had to be shortened and we deliver our week five rundown! After watching more come from behind victories, some teams lose in some of the most comical ways and some players will never learn to hold onto the football.
The Cincinnati Bengals have a quarterback problem, and one sportscasters idea could be at least a short term solution. We look back at other quarterback situations in pro football history, whether it ended in a trophy or not.
After the week three rundown, we’re going to do a little something different. It’s trivia time!
There are some athletes who are defined by their sport, and then there are those who are not. There are also those who were forced to retire, and there are those who had other plans. For some, their plan was to get out before it was too late.
Sterling Sharpe’s induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame was long overdue, and I’m glad he finally got in! You must know that these kind of accolades were not why he played, and he could care less, but the road getting there as well as how his career ended made so much sense.
