Dave Portnoy is completely frustrated with Tony Romo after CBS aired the Bills vs. Jaguars playoff game. He said Romo’s commentary made no sense and questioned how he sounded on the broadcast.
Portnoy shared his thoughts on FS1’s Wake Up Barstool while talking with Fox analyst Greg Olsen. He praised Olsen’s work and used the moment to take shots at Romo. The comments quickly spread across sports media.
“Your stock keeps going up,” Portnoy told Olsen. “There’s a guy on the other network, he looks like he’s on drugs or something when he’s calling games.” Portnoy continued without hesitation. ***“Romo,...

San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle suffered a torn Achilles tendon that ended his 2025 campaign. His last image was of him being carted off the field. The San Francisco 49ers advanced in the NFC playoffs on Sunday, but the win came at a cost. Kittle suffered a torn right Achilles tendon in the second quarter of the 23-19 Wild Card victory. Soon after, it was reported that a 49ers employee was seen carrying a bottle of tequila to the locker room.
His injury, which ended his postseason, casts serious doubt over his availability for much, if not all, of...
Taking a shot at the New York Jets is always on the menu for Aaron Rodgers.
The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback played what might be his final game against the Houston Texans on Monday night. As he left the field, one Steelers fan could be heard screaming, “Retire, Aaron!” That was just the start of his night.
During his postgame press conference, Rodgers dropped a major F-bomb when asked about Mike Tomlin. “I’ve talked extensively about how I feel about Mike,” Rodgers said. “And I just did in that f**king answer.”
A clearly pissed Aaron Rodgers thinks highly of Tomlin. He...
The Buccaneers made a number of staffing changes shortly after their season ended. That included the expected dismissal of offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard.
In the aftermath of Grizzard’s firing, a shortlist of replacement candidates emerged. Todd Monken is among the staffers who have been linked to Tampa Bay. That comes as no surprise since he spent three years (2016-18) as the Bucs’ offensive coordinator.
The sides will meet this week about a potential reunion. Monken will conduct an in-person interview for Tampa’s OC vacancy, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports. The summit will take place tomorrow, he adds. Monken...

On Monday night, the Pittsburgh Steelers saw their season come to a decisive end when they were blown out by the Houston Texans, 30-6, in their Wild Card Playoff game.
Heading into the matchups, there was already a belief that it could be the last of Aaron Rodgers‘ illustrious career. After throwing for just 146 yards and an interception, along with a 50.8 passer rating and being sacked four times, it seems like a near lock that the 42-year-old will soon put in his retirement papers.
His exit means that for a fourth straight year, the Steelers will have a...
QB Aaron Rodgers defended head coach Mike Tomlin after the Pittsburgh Steelers lost to the Houston Texans in the wild-card round.
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Commanders are hoping to interview Vikings DC Brian Flores for their DC opening.
Flores’ contract is up with Minnesota, so he’s free to make lateral moves to other organizations. Per Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, the Vikings are confident Flores will return to their staff if he doesn’t get a HC job.
Flores, 44, began his NFL coaching career with the Patriots back in 2004 as a scouting assistant. He held several positions, including pro scout, special teams assistant, assistant offense/special teams, defensive assistant, safeties coach and linebackers coach before serving as the...

It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Detroit Lions owner Sheila Hamp. She hasn’t held a public media session in a couple years now.
But this week she did send a message out to season-ticket holders to address the team’s disappointing 9-8 season that ended without a playoff appearance. In the message, she admits the results of the 2025 season “were not good enough.” However, she believes “drastic change” is not needed at this moment, but rather it’s a time to “refocus, evolve, and move forward.”
Here’s the full message to season-ticket holders sent out on Tuesday morning:

The fallout from the Philadelphia Eagles’ NFC Wild Card Round loss to the San Francisco 49ers has been swift and wide, with many figures within the organization becoming instant targets of criticism.
Among those being blamed for the Philadelphia Eagles’ disappointing season are head coach Nick Sirianni, wide receiver AJ Brown, offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo, and quarterback Jalen Hurts.
One particularly viral clip from the Birds’ 23-19 home loss to the Niners showed three of those four men at the scene of a crime, as Sirianni, Patullo, and Hurts looked generally clueless and listless while discussing what would ultimately be...
