In the second high-profile instance of professional athletes making political statements in support of the protests occurring in St. Louis, Missouri, and New York City, Chicago Bulls star guard Derrick Rose etched his position on the side of support for late New Yorker Eric Garner by wearing a shirt that read "I Can't Breathe" during warm-ups before Saturday, Dec. 6's game against the Golden State Warriors. Garner died in July in a police chokehold while he was being arrested. A grand jury decided not to indict the police officer in the incident, inspiring protests around the country that echo those for Michael Brown, the 18-year-old young black man who was killed by a police officer this summer in Ferguson, Missouri. "I Can't Breathe" alludes to Garner's last words, which were captured on video. ESPN reported that earlier this week NBA legend Magic Johnson said athletes need to participate in social movements.

Superstar Chicago Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall will reportedly not take the field again this season after fracturing two ribs and collapsing a lung in Thursday night's 41-28 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. During the game Marshall took a knee to the back of his ribcage and had to be helped from the field before being rushed to hospital, where he remains but in "good spirits" according to Bears coach Marc Trestman. With the Bears season in tatters and well off the pace in the NFC North, is it time for the team to think about tanking for the highest possible draft pick, and even moving on from embattled quarterback Jay Cutler?

Tony Romo has had an elite-level NFL season, but he's finally starting to admit that he's hurting worse than many believed, which could lead to the return of Brandon Weeden, which many Dallas Cowboys fans would be unhappy with. Perhaps DeMarco Murray's strong running game has allowed Romo to rest more than many QB would get to, and that might be the main reason he's still in the team. With the big aspirations the Cowboys carry, can they depend on the injury-hit Romo? Read More »
Robert Griffin III is set to join a massive list of QB that are deemed as "not good enough" in the NFL, and these teams will be searching for replacements. Blake Sims is seen as a top NCAA prospect, but many are forgetting he's still trying to fill the gap that A.J. McCarron and Katherine Webb left. A.J. is believed to be available and some NFL scouts believe he's good enough to start, and win games, for many teams. The Washington Redskins may well take a look at the NFL prospect, and with RG3 out the door, they'll be assessing every option, as will many other teams. Where will RG3 and A.J. end up? Read More »
You would think he was talking about a last place team. But the Bills are 7-5 and contenders for an AFC playoff spot thanks in large part to a defense led by AFC Defensive Player of the Month Mario Williams. Read More »
Michael Sam -- the first openly gay player to be drafted to the NFL -- has refuted claims and "headlines" saying that the defensive linesman is being kept out of the NFL because of his sexuality. After being drafted in the seventh round by the St Louis Rams in this year's NFL draft, Sam was dropped by the Rams and then by Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys, but he says that he is looking forward to a chance to prove he belongs in the NFL.

They say the QB is the leader of an NFL team - not so. DeMarco Murray has proven the perfect leader for the Dallas Cowboys, perhaps making Tony Romo appear a far better player in the process. Murray has improved with every week, and now his Cowboys have a winning record for the first time in a long, long while. With his game-changing performances, the Cowboys believe they could go all the way. Is Murray the best RB in NFL history, or at the very least, does he have the potential to be just that? Read More »

Joe Haden, Josh Gordon and Johnny Manziel are hoping to fire the Cleveland Browns to the NFL playoffs, along with help with Brian Hoyer, but they didn't need the starting QB help when they all helped to open up Haden's new sneaker store. The store is downtown Cleveland and it has been a huge hit for superstars and fans alike. The question is, will they come together on the field, as well as off it? Read More »

When Odell Beckham Jnr made his famous one-handed catch, LeBron James tweeted his admiration, which shocked and pleased Odell. Now the two have met, making Odell a very happy man. As James closes in on the end of his career, and Odell's is just beginning, one can wonder, could Odell achieve more in the NFL than James has in the NBA, or will their new friendship be as close as he gets to that stature? He's received a lot of praise lately, but can he handle the heat? Read More »
The Cleveland Browns will welcome the Indianapolis Colts to town, but one man comes back knowing that the last time he left it wasn't willingly. Trent Richardson was supposed to be the superstar RB the Browns needed, but it's safe to say he didn't hit the ground running, leaving many people unimpressed. However, a little over a year ago the NFL was in shock when he was traded to the Colts, for a first-round draft pick (later used to get Justin Gilbert and Johnny Manziel). However, now he returns with a point to prove, claiming he will put his "body on the line" to prove his worth, and to get the win his Colts need. Will the Browns stop the bitter Richardson, or will he fall short once again in Cleveland? Read More »
