data-mm-id=”_367ln0gy8″>The first quarter of an NFL season doesn't tell us everything, but it tells us some things. For instance, Aaron Rodgers is good as hell and the Green Bay Packers appear to be on a collision course with another division crown and deep playoff run if things stay on this path. None of this should surprise anyone since Rodgers is in the conversation for most skilled quarterback of all time and the Cheeseheads made it to the NFC Championship Game last season.What's a bit more eyebrow-raising is how proficient and efficient the Packers offense has been. Some stat-age for my statheads:The Packers are the first team in NFL history to begin a season with four straight games of at least 30 points and zero turnovers. Green Bay is the only team to rank in the top …

data-mm-id=”_euzv07tzs”>If the movie Grumpy Old Men had a reboot, Mike Krzyzewski would be on top of the perspective cast list. The 73-year-old coach isn't as funny Walter Matthau or Jack Lemmon, but he does have the needlessly-cantankerous personality thing down at this point. After Duke lost its third straight game to fall to 5-5 on the season, this loss to Louisville 70-65, Krzyzewski was asked a very basic question by a Duke student reporter on a reporter pool Zoom call: What is the next step forward for the team? Instead of answering the question, however, Krzyzewski seemed to take offense to it. First, in a prickly way, he said he just wanted to evaluate this game and pointed out that, woe is him, they just finished playing! Then, for whatever reason, he tried to make a comp…

data-mm-id=”_82u12fd44″>As speculation about Skip Bayless' next partner on Undisputed grows, the New York Post's Andrew Marchand threw a new name and wrinkle into the mix yesterday by reporting Richard Sherman is a candidate to slide into Shannon Sharpe's empty chair. That would certainly be a juicy acquisiton and not one that would demur to Bayless at all, which many believe the new person would be forced to do. We know this because Sherman and Skip have a bit of a history and once met for one of the tenser moments in First Take history. Back in March 2013 the then-Seattle Seahawks cornerback stepped into the belly of the beast and sat down next to Bayless and Stephen A. Smith. He had a lot on his mind but the main objective seemed quite clear. To destroy the person who…

data-mm-id=”_tlpw8aff5″>The New England Patriots shocked just about everybody in the football world on Sunday when they played pretty well for an entire half against the Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen was unable to do much other than hit the sound guy on the sideline and Mac Jones went 11-for-14 in the first half. Basically, the game went the exact opposite everyone expected for the first 30 minutes. However, all is still not perfect with the Patriots. Near the end of the first half New England had the ball and faced a third-and-two as the clock wound down. Jones dropped back to pass and appeared to try to target rookie Demario Douglas. However, something happened mid-throw and Jones tried to pull the ball back and ended up spiking it into the ground. It was kind of weird. Film review sugge…

data-mm-id=”_27xlmzn9o”>On Sunday, the Dallas Cowboys were annihilated by the Buffalo Bills. The Cowboys entered the game as arguably the best team in the NFL, and left battered and bruised after a 31-10 defeat that wasn't as close as the score might indicate. After the game, Cowboys superfan Skip Bayless recorded a video of himself throwing his Micah Parsons jersey in the trash.

data-mm-id=”_uj8fabobz”>The time has come. On Wednesday, NBC Sports' Chris Simms dropped his annual NFL draft quarterback rankings. This is a date NFL draft nerds either look forward to or dread because Simms' rankings are always controversial. He's usually in line with general consensus on the top prospects but there is always at least one extremely hot take that goes against what basically everybody in draft circles thinks. And sometimes he's right!Last year he had C.J. Stroud as the top prospect in the draft over Bryce Young. That wasn't exactly a scalding take but it was far from an agreed-upon opinion and ended up aging very well. In those same rankings, though, Simms had Hendon Hooker as a better prospect over Anthony Richardson. The jury is technically s…
