NFL Visionary Launches Campaign to Bring Barry Sanders Back to Detroit Lions’ Backfield

Barry Sanders

Now you see him, now you don’t. It isn’t magic or grease on his jersey. That’s just the story of Barry Sanders, juking NFL defenders out of their cleats. 

Between the lines, Sanders is in his own world. Just ask John Lynch. 

Would-be tacklers thought they had the 5-foot-8 running back in their grasp, but just like Detroit Lions Super Bowl wins, Sanders always seemed to find a new way out. 

Then, one day, at the peak of his career, Sanders suddenly slipped away from the NFL for a moment, too.

Noodles and Company Benches Mac Jones for New England Patriots Backup

NOODLES AND COMPANY BENCHES MAC JONES FOR NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS BACKUP NOODLES & CO BENCHES MAC JONES FOR NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS BACKUP MEME

There has been plenty of speculation surrounding Mac Jones’ job security as the starting quarterback for the New England Patriots lately. Whether you are on the Jones bandwagon or not is irrelevant once you watch the tape. Facts are facts.

Jones simply isn’t the guy. His noodle-arm can’t push the ball down the field on a calm, sunny day in September. What makes anyone think he will be able to do it through the wicked swirling winds that come with a classic New England Nor’easter in the playoffs? Seriously, the tape never lies:

James Harden on Los Angeles Clippers’ Struggles: Don’t Blame Me, It’s the System

James Harden

Seven-time All-NBA guard James Harden is a very good basketball player. He’s a former MVP winner, a ten-time All-Star, and a three-time scoring champion. Some might even say he is the system

But not last year, when Harden had to play second fiddle while teammate Joel Embiid stole the spotlight by winning NBA MVP instead. For the first time since 2012, Harden didn’t even make an All-Star team. It wasn’t a good look for The Beard.

It’s Time To Admit the Cincinnati Bengals Will Never Win a Super Bowl

Cincinnati Bengals

The Cincinnati Bengals have made it to the Super Bowl three times, but they’ve never been the better team, always failing to win on the NFL’s biggest stage. It’s an embarrassing fact for an up-and-coming franchise that has one of the league’s best quarterbacks on the roster with Joe Burrows. 

But the Bengals were in the Super Bowl two years ago and came just four points away from changing the franchise’s status as a lifetime loser forever. The fans in Cincinnati haven’t given up hope since, clinging to the dream of joining the big leagues as a respectable NFL franchise.

Yet, the Bengals fanbase might want to re-evaluate their loyalty because those waiting on a Super Bowl will end up wasting all their time on a franchise that doesn’t have the same level of commitment to winning. Here are just three reasons why the Cincinnati Bengals will never win a Super Bowl, as sad as it sounds.

Aaron Rodgers Launching Trippindales Franchise

Aaron Rodgers Launching Trippindales Franchise

New York’s Hottest Club Is a Steamy Ayahuasca Retreat

It’s no secret Aaron Rodgers has had a lot of extra time on his hands lately. A bit too much time, perhaps? He’s been seen frequently on the sidelines and in the luxury suites of New York Jets games this season, everywhere but on the field. Don’t worry though, he still has plenty of time to make his weekly appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, where one thing becomes very clear.

At the end of the day, the guy really just wants to play football, but unfortunately, Father Time told Rodgers to take a little time out. Since moving to the business mecca of the world, Rodgers is looking to take his marketing savvy to the stratosphere after taking a pay cut this year. In other words, Rodgers wants to be more a little more productive during his downtime.

In an effort to bolster his retirement portfolio, Aaron Rodgers is launching a brand new speakeasy-style nightclub known as Trippindales. The Grand Opening for the first Trippindales location in New York City is expected to occur sometime in the Spring of 2024. Rodgers plans on franchising the ayahuasca retreat brand to take his visions nationwide.

Beings from any dimension, galaxy, or universe are welcome to gather at Trippindales for some adult-themed entertainment complemented by a gourmet menu of exotic hallucinogens from across the multiverse. Even Rick and Morty are expected to stop by for the epic Grand Opening.

Granted, this trip is a little bit different than the journey Jets fans were expecting to experience throughout the 2023 NFL season. Their season was over after only four offensive snaps, but that doesn’t mean they have to stay grounded in reality. Rodgers wants to help them lift their spirits after being blindsided by heartbreak.

On September 11th, it was the silence heard around the world as all eyeballs watched Grandpa Rodgers falling to the ground after a viciously calculated attack. Rodgers laid helplessly in ruins, defeated by the evil turf of JetLife stadium. 

Sadly, this moment proved to be the Achilles heel of the season for the Jets. This day will live on in infamy for Jets fans all over the world. Hell, even casual football fans will never forget where they were on 9/11 while witnessing the collapse of tower No. 8.

As is usually the case, Rodgers remains optimistic. After all, a true battle-tested warrior never lets a petty heel injury stop them from positive manifestation. Rodgers even has his eye on an early return to the battlefield this season thanks to an experimental SpeedBridge procedure.

The only problem with that mentality is the Jets would actually have to make the playoffs for Rodgers to make a meaningful return to the field this season. Perhaps Rodgers is mixing his ayahuasca a little too strong because the 2023 Jets are currently sitting at 2-3. 

Playoffs? You kidding me? Mr. Rodgers, you play in the same neighborhood as the Miami Dolphins and the Buffalo Bills. You and the rest of your fleet of single-engine Cessnas should just worry about getting to .500 for now. Don’t talk about playoffs.

Sean Payton Searches Denver Broncos Lost and Found for Locker Room

Sean Payton Searches Denver Broncos Lost and Found for Locker Room

It’s no secret around the NFL that Sean Payton is turning in the absolute worst coaching job in the history of the league this season. After an embarrassing Week 3 blowout at the hands of the Miami Dolphins to the tune of 70-20, the 2023 Denver Broncos have already checked out on their coach and teammates.

This season’s results shouldn’t be much of a surprise to anyone following the Broncos since the clickbait hire of crybaby Payton during the offseason. First, Payton threw the previous regime under the bus, as pointed out by A Fly On The Ball a few weeks ago. That takes brass balls, which Payton clearly doesn’t have but he did it anyway.

You see, the NFL coaching pool is a tight-knit fraternity. They stand up for each other and look out for each other. On top of that, they understand each other. When somebody throws one of their own to the wolves, the rest of the pack takes notice. 

By declaring former Broncos coach Nathanial Hackett’s 2022 squad as the “worst-coached team in football”, you can only imagine how much crow Payton was eating on the evening of September 24, 2023. As if the 50-point deficit wasn’t enough, the entire internet made the same exact joke toward Payton and his miserable coaching job.

When asked about the significance of the Broncos’ historic loss to the Fins, Payton’s response was running a bit thin on patience, to say the least. The good news is he’s aware of the historical significance, the bad news for Broncos fans is their franchise is still the worst-coached team in football. 

You can watch Payton’s post-game press conference for more details. He really just wants to know what the question is, regardless of being aware of his historic loss as well as his previous comments and the lingering effect they are having.

You can clearly see the lack of accountability from the Broncos head coach. Sadly, he sets the tone for the entire team but what else should you expect from a guy who had to use under-the-table bribes to win his only Super Bowl?

After the blowout loss to the Dolphins, it’s clear that nobody wants to play for Blockhead Coach Payton anymore. A Fly On The Ball in the Broncos locker room reports the problems really began percolating when Payton began publicly throwing quarterback Russell Wilson under the bus.

How Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs Can Get Balls Deep in That End Zone This Year

How Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs can get balls deep in that end zone this year - Kadarius Toney Drops Balls Deep Dimes On Patrick Mahomes - With Text

Yikes. The 2023 NFL Season kicked off with an upset and it’s no secret Patrick Mahomes looks like he’s in mid-season form. He was slinging it like the MVP he is out there but somehow the Kansas City Chiefs couldn’t get balls deep in the end zone like they’re used to.

On a Thursday night season opener in a very hostile Arrowhead Stadium, the Detroit Lions came out of the locker room ready to get physical. They played hard-nosed football for 60 minutes but even they tried to give the Chiefs the game several times.

While marching down the field and shoving the football down the throats of the Chiefs’ defense during the 2023 NFL Season Kickoff Game, the Lions Goffed up a snap and somehow recovered. Then, just as Lions fans could taste the end zone, Marvin Jones Jr. Goffed up the football to give Mahomes another chance. That’s when things got a little weird.

3 Reasons Why the Detroit Lions Will Never Win a Super Bowl

Detroit Lions

Did you know the Detroit Lions are one of just two NFL franchises existing since 1946 to have never made a Super Bowl appearance? It’s pathetic but true. If you’re wondering, the Cleveland Browns are the other team mired in sadness

But being a Lions fan means you’re at rock bottom. Unlike the Browns, the Lions have existed since 1930, meaning they’ve been failing to win Super Bowls for almost 20 more years. In other words, it doesn’t get any worse than following the Lions if you’re a football fan. 

This isn’t some secret. It’s right out there in the open. The Lions are the worst franchise in NFL history, and it’s not even close. But this year is ‘different’. Detroit has a head coach with a Lion-sized chip on his shoulder and a talented roster ready to roar. It’s led to enormous expectations in The Mitten.

Detroit is looking to prove they not only deserve a chance to avoid relegation to Canada for the 95th year in a row but also that the Lions are ready to compete for the NFC North division crown. If all goes well, they could be taking their first-ever trip to the Super Bowl, but I’m here to tell you not to get your hopes up this year if you’ve somehow stumbled into being a Lions fan. Here are just three reasons why the Lions will never win a Super Bowl.

How the Houston Oilers Can Get Balls Deep in That End Zone To Reach Paydirt

How the Houston Oilers Can Get Balls Deep in That End Zone Again

Listen, the Houston Oilers have not been balls deep in any end zone since 1996. That’s pathetic. If Oilers fans want to change that, there is a path to redemption. You may think the very notion of the Oilers ever scoring a touchdown again is asinine, but believe it or not, the door is not completely closed.

First things first, Houston needs to start marking their goddamn territory. Show the world that Houston has that dawg in them. Then, Rocket Town needs to take their team back. The truth is out there: the Tennessee Titans belong to Houston. Everyone knows that. Until that happens, Houston, we have a problem.
