As the dust settles, we have Super Wild Card Weekend

Welcome to Super Wild Card Weekend. But before we get into that, anything new happen this week? History unfolded before our eyes, not just in Foxborough, but all over the football landscape. When have you ever see three Hall of Fame coaches leave or lose their jobs in a 24-48 hour period? It ...

In Bill, Kraft could no longer trust — and the dynasty is gone
