Round 1 (QB): Josh Allen's six-year reign vs. Lamar's record-breaking ceiling vs. Joe Burrow's eight-game season and the toe that...

Send us Fan Mail The offseason just went nuclear. G, KK break down the two biggest trades of the NFL offseason — AJ Brown heading to New England to reunite with Mike Vrabel and Drake Maye, and Myles Garrett being shipped to the Rams in exchange for Jared Verse and a haul of picks.

We get into his coaching path — from Nolan Catholic to Greenhill to Henderson State and back home to Waxaha...

Send us Fan Mail We go full LSU — breaking down the biggest offseason in Tigers history. Lane Kiffin left Ole Miss mid-CFP run to take the job, assembled what 247Sports ranks as the #1 transfer portal class of all time, and added Ed Orgeron back to his staff as special assistant to recruiting and defense — the same Coach O who led LSU to a perfect 15-0 season and the 2019 national championship. We...
