Your love for Will Howard reminds me of the way you “fan boyed” for Kenny Pickett a few years ago. A gritty personality and a local address doesn’t a starting quarterback make. You both should know that! As I recall, you were somewhat high on Malik Willis when he came out in the draft. Perhaps the Steelers should go get Willis and let him compete with Rudolph and Howard for the starting nod in 2026. I would be surprised if either of the young guys can beat out Mason, but if they do that would be great. Fingers crossed that the 2027 QB draft has some depth and the Steelers can go get a long term solution at the position. Meanwhile, follow Ben’s strategy and beef up the team with a large draft class and smart FA moves this year.

Indiana loses more than one Mendoza for the 2026 season after its historic national title win. While Fernando Mendoza is likely to leave for the NFL, Alberto has reportedly accepted a transfer to Georgia Tech in the ACC. Despite moving on from the program, the younger Mendoza still has his elder brother’s full support. Indiana’s […] The post Fernando Mendoza Makes Feelings Clear in 4-Word Message as Brother Quits on Curt Cignetti’s Indiana appeared first on EssentiallySports.

The margin between timing and payoff in the NFL draft is unforgiving. Declare early, and the board has to bend your way. Miss the window, and the league moves on without you. Right now, though, the board appears to be bending toward Jeremiyah Love. After three seasons at Notre Dame, Love made the calculated decision […] The post NFL Bound Jeremiyah Love Nearing Dreamy Outcome on Gamble to Leave Notre Dame Early appeared first on EssentiallySports.

The 2025 AFC Championship game is almost here, and one Broncos cornerback has a not-so-friendly message for his opponent. Ahead of the big game, the Broncos’ Patrick Surtain II fired a warning shot at the New England Patriots’ wide receiver Stefon Diggs. The hosts will be without their star quarterback, but they’re certainly not low […] The post Broncos’ Patrick Surtain II Sends Expletive-Laced Message to Stefon Diggs Before Patriots Game appeared first on EssentiallySports.

In reply to SuburaNation. Last year, the Vikings opened a 40-acre practice and training facility that cost them $120M and they promptly missed the playoffs. In 2024, the Chargers opened a new 14-acre facility that cost $276M. They've lost in the wildcard round (16-3 and 32-12) in both seasons since. In 2021, the Dolphins opened a 244,000 sqft state-of-the-art training facility that cost $135M, and they haven't won a playoff game since. And then you have the Cowboys, who spent over $1.5B on Jerry's World, which includes their stadium and practice facility (plus a mall, concert venue and HS stadium). They missed the playoffs in 2019, 2020, 2024, and 2025 and they went 1-3 in the 2021 - 2023 postseasons. Clearly, those massive capital expenditures don't contribute to on-field success. So, why would the Rooney family even consider spending money like that? If anything, it would persuade convince them not to.
