Everything old is new again in the NFL, by James Dator. Football is cyclical. This shouldn’t be a surprise for anyone that’s watched the NFL over the years. There are only so many ways the wheel can be reinvented, and we’re well past the point where someone can bring new thinking into the league and succeed — because almost everything has been seen before.

Amazon Prime is hyped for the start of the NFL regular season and they’re commemorating the occasion with a food-filled graphic that truthfully makes very little sense. I like the concept here. Everyone gathers for a pot luck and brings something from their home city. The issue is that after you take the quickest of glances there are very few things that actually make sense. It’s like Where’s Waldo if you could find Waldo over, and over, and over again — but each team he was dressed like feces.

The Northern Illinois Huskies were a 28-point underdog entering Week 2 against No. 5 Notre Dame on Saturday afternoon. The Huskies had never upset a top-10 opponent in program history, but the $1.4 million payday the school got for the matchup from Notre Dame made it worth the short trip from DeKalb, Illinois to South Bend. As it turns out, the Fighting Irish got a lot more than they bargained for.

Sunderland, along with the majority of the football world, spent countless decades operating in the transfer market in what you could call a ‘traditional’ style. You sign players to form a squad, and when one does well, you sell them on and then reinvest the money in a replacement — hopefully with some cash left over to bolster other positions.
