Last year’s run to a historic title has Duncanville being talked about as among the best programs in not only Texas, but the nation.

According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera.

I'll be the first to admit that the Broncos had a great run from 2011 to 2015 with Peyton Manning playing quarterback. I'd trade the Raiders' run in that time for Denver's in a second. However, something inexplicable happens every single year that I just can't understand. The media is...

While McCarthy's status for Week 1 of the regular season was always up in the air, the Vikings had Sam Darnold as a bridge for when McCarthy was ready, likely sometime during the 2024 campaign.
