While on The Pivot Podcast, Barack Obama, who recently recalled a viral Key & Peele moment, spoke about how he sees the country’s continued and progressing racial advancement, even in the way the NFL has slowly adopted more and more black quarterbacks over his lifetime.
“You guys are a lot younger than me, so I’m thinking back to folks like Warren Moon and Vince Evans; it was still a rarity when I was a young fan. So, any time there was a black quarterback, it didn’t matter what team; you were rooting for them just because it felt like they...
It happened, it finally happened: the Philadelphia Eagles have figured it out.
Now granted, the team has looked good since returning from the bye, securing a fun Week 6 win over the Cleveland Browns and a dominant W over the New York Giants the week after that, but those wins were against bad teams and were somewhat flukey. How often will the Eagles get to face off against an opponent who puts up less than 250 total yards, let alone one who gets outgained by their former running back, Saquon Barkley, all by himself?
Throw the Eagles against a legitimate...
Houston Texans Tuesday injury report.
The (6-2) Houston Texans are coming off a clutch win against the Indianapolis Colts, and are now heading to New York to take on the (2-6) Jets on Thursday Night Football.
Houston is set to be without their top-two wide receivers, Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs. Collins is on injured-reserve and Diggs suffered a torn-ACL against the Colts.
Here is a look at Houston’s Tuesday injury report:
After a disappointing loss to the Houston Texans in Week 8 the Indianapolis Colts fell to 4-4 on the season. Following his poor showing in the defeat to a divisional foe, the Colts have benched Anthony Richardson in favor of veteran passer Joe Flacco.
Flacco started in Weeks 5 and 6 while Richardson was sidelined with an oblique injury but the second-year QB got his job back once he was healthy enough to take the field in Week 7. This time, the team is turning to Flacco based on Richardson’s play and not his health.
The Colts’ decision is polarizing,...
For a second straight year, the Jaguars and Vikings have a deal in place involving an offensive lineman at the trade deadline. Cam Robinson is set to replace Christian Darrisaw.
The Vikings will act swiftly, with NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reporting they are acquiring the longtime Jaguars left tackle in exchange for unspecified draft compensation. This comes a year after the Jags acquired Ezra Cleveland from the Vikings.
This will wrap an eight-season run for Robinson in Jacksonville. The former second-round pick, however, is in a contract year and is not a candidate to be franchise-tagged. Like **[Kirk...
According to Ian Rapoport, the Jaguars are trading LT Cam Robinson to the Vikings in exchange for draft pick compensation.
It marks a big move for Minnesota as they gear up for a playoff run following Christian Darrisaw‘s season-ending injury.
Earlier this week, it was reported that Robinson was generating trade interest from teams needing tackle help.
Robinson, 27, is a former second-round pick of the Jaguars out of Alabama back in 2017. He finished the final year of a four-year, $7,018,128 deal and was set to be an unrestricted free agent for the first time in his career when...

A few changes being made
On Tuesday, the Minnesota Vikings made a handful of roster moves that have shuffled the practice squad a bit. Let’s run through all of them for you here.
The first move that the Vikings made was to terminate the contract of running back Myles Gaskin. Yes, again. The team then immediately turned around and signed him back to the practice squad. It’s worth noting that Gaskin has already been elevated from the practice squad to the main roster three times this year, so if the Vikings want to call him up again they’ll have to...
