Carlton coach Michael Voss tests positive to COVID-19, won't coach in round two

Some NFL scandals are silly because they get out of hand. There was a competitive imbalance in Deflategate, but should it have gotten almost to the U.S. Supreme Court? Probably not. Other "scandals" just seem silly on their face. The recent one involving Eagles kicker Jake Elliott falls into that...

The Sean Payton sweepstakes has come to a screeching halt. The Cardinals, Broncos and Panthers were all reportedly interested in bringing the former Saints head coach into the fray, but it looks like Payton has found a home at least for another year. Some recent reports indicated that Payton was...

With the Bengals on the cusp of a second straight Super Bowl appearance, many football fans around the country have begun reporting a similar dilemma: they're afraid Joe Burrow is going to steal their significant other. In truth, it's a valid concern. Burrow has captured the admiration of millions of...

As far as NFL moms go, Donna Kelce is a special one. She's been an enthusiastic supporter of her All-Pro sons Travis and Jason throughout their outstanding careers, often going above and beyond to be present for both of them. Kelce made headlines last January when she showed the ultimate...

Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow have been painted as bitter rivals, which is no surprise after four tight matchups between the Chiefs and Bengals in the last 13 months. Off the field, however, there's nothing but respect between the two quarterbacks. NFL Films captured audio of the midfield interaction between...

There have been some talented sibling duos in the NFL over the years, from Peyton and Eli Manning to Ronde and Tiki Barber. However, there aren't yet two brothers in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. If Peyton isn't joined by Eli right away, another duo might have a chance to be the first.

Jalen Hurts is among the most popular figures in American sports and for good reason. The MVP finalist finds himself just one win away from football immortality after leading the Eagles to a 31-7 beatdown over the 49ers in the NFC Championship game on Sunday. Just 24 years old, Hurts...

The Chiefs vs. Bengals AFC championship game took a turn for the conspiracy-minded when, in a 20-20 game in the fourth quarter, the Chiefs were given an extra shot at convering on third down because of wonky officiating. With just over 10 minutes remaining in regulation, Kansas City ran a...

The NFL is down to its final four teams, but the question of who the Super Bowl favorite might be entering championship weekend is completely up in the air. With some prolific quarterbacks in Patrick Mahomes and Joe Burrow, some of the most dynamic weapons in the sport in Philadelphia, and some elite defensive talent in San Francisco, all four teams feel capable of hoisting the Lombardi Trophy when all is said and done.

Sunday's AFC championship game between the Chiefs and Bengals — their second in as many seasons — will be something of a personal affair for Travis Kelce. Though he has played well against Cincinnati — 19 catches for 176 yards and two scores in their last three meetings — an untimely fumble in their Week 13 game helped seal Kansas City's third straight defeat at the hands of Joe Burrow and the Bengals. If Kelce wants to help his team bounce back against Cincinnati, he'll most likely need to have a good game on Sunday.

Brock was the furthest thing from a lock in the 2022 NFL Draft. 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has put himself in position to continue making NFL history as San Francisco faces the Eagles in the NFC championship game Sunday. While the midseason injury to Jimmy Garoppolo could have doomed a lesser franchise's Super Bowl chances, Purdy's ascent has kept the 49ers in the hunt for a championship.

Will Penisini has signed a two-year contract extension at the Parramatta Eels that will tie the local junior to the club until at least the end of 2025. The 20-year-old enjoyed a breakout campaign last year, cementing his spot in the centres as Brad Arthur’s men made it all the way to the grand final, while he also went on to represent Tonga at the Rugby League World Cup.

Joe Burrow still has a long way to go as the Bengals starting quarterback to mach everything Tom Brady has done in his NFL career. But that doesn't happened stopped many, including pundits and opponents, from comparing of one today's great young star QBs with the GOAT. Burrow, at 26,...

A dominant season for the 49ers ended with a whimper Sunday, when San Francisco dropped the NFC championship game 31-7 to end what was an outstanding season. The loss so one-sided partially because the 49ers lost the ability to throw the ball in the second half, after Brock Purdy was forced to return to the game with an injured arm when Josh Johnson was knocked out.

The 49ers came into the NFC championship feeling confident about their chances to beat the Eagles and move on to the Super Bowl. San Francisco's defense was the best in the league, and rookie quarterback Brock Purdy was playing at a high level guiding a versatile array of weapons. But...

The Eagles are in the NFC championship game this year, so imagine how their NFC East competitors feel knowing they also have a top-10 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Philadelphia has drafted exceptionally well in recent years, with DeVonta Smith and Jalen Hurts leading the charge. This year, it has the No. 10 overall pick (via trade with the Saints), along with its own first-, second- and third-rounders.

In the first quarter of the Eagles-49ers NFC championship game, Philly wideout DeVonta Smith made one of the best grabs of the entire 2023 NFL season. He came down with a one-handed, fourth-down grab that set Philadelphia for their first touchdown of the game. It was the sort of highlight...

The game-long chippiness between the 49ers and Eagles on Sunday eventually resulted in players throwing hands at Lincoln Financial Field. San Francisco linebacker Dre Greenlaw was penalized for unnecessary roughness late in the NFC championship game after he was seen attempting to punch the ball out of Kenneth Gainwell's hands.

Isiah Pacheco is fast becoming a key player in the Chiefs' offensive unit — both figuratively and literally. The 5-10, 216-pound rookie running back out of Rutgers not only has become an instrumental part of the ground game, leading the team in both rushes and yards, but also a reliable pass-catching threat out of the backfield.

As the holder of the biggest contract in NFL history, Patrick Mahomes is, among other things, filthy rich. That brings its perks. Mahomes has aligned himself with numerous blue-chip brands over the course of his career, including State Farm and Head and Shoulders. Brand deals are one thing, but owning...
