Emmitt Smith’s 2026 NFL Mock Draft – Picks 17-32

Walt3 weeks ago021 mins

Last update: Sometime in the month of 2026. Next update: Who in God name would update the mark draft lot of time? I’ve been writing Emmitt Smith mock drafts ever since ESPN unjustly fired him. My reasoning was that we all missed Emmitt’s grammatically flawed analysis on the “Worldwide Leader,” and I was protesting ESPN…

Walt3 weeks ago020 mins

I’ve been writing Emmitt Smith mock drafts ever since ESPN unjustly fired him. My reasoning was that we all missed Emmitt’s grammatically flawed analysis on the “Worldwide Leader,” and I was protesting ESPN terminating his contract.

Tactics, Sweat, and Geometry: Why American Football is Tennis on Steroids

Walt3 weeks ago3 weeks ago07 mins

Once we talk about American football, our mind immediately conjures up a battle scene where there is the sound of pads, where huge men are thrown into the air, and where the shouts of the crowd create a terrible roar. This sounds very distant from tennis, which is conducted in a noble silence that…

Why NFL Offenses Keep Throwing More: The Rise of the Pass-First Era
