This is the time of year where far too many people fall victim to the phenomenon of groupthink. A spurious idea about a team or a draft prospect catches fire and burns up mock drafts, internet message boards, and Twitter. Often it begins innocuously enough, with a simple projection by a popular pundit positing a player to a team because the need seems to fit the talent. Somehow this gets construed as some sort of Old Testament commandment from the NFL Draft Gods, of which Mike Mayock from the NFL Network is the reigning Zeus.

The first day of free agency in Detroit was full of bluster but short on actual, factual news. Wednesday figures to be different. In fact, it’s already different: as I finished typing this up the news came across that Chris Houston re-signed. Terms are not yet available, but this was the top priority free agent move for the Lions. The team is much better with him than without him.

Will Stafford Learn from Flacco?

If Stafford wants to be regarded like these two Super Bowl winners, he needs to not get paid like them before winning anything

The NFL never ceases to seize the sporting world headlines. Much to the relief of Brandon Knight, the only sports news that matters on Monday relates to the NFL. More specifically, the NFC West dominated the headlines.
