Screw doing mock drafts, I’m doing a mock schedule. There is still a few months before the official schedule release but based on how the NFL likes to structure schedules, these are my predictions. The Packers 2023 schedule will have games versus their division, the NFC South, AFC West, as well as the Rams, Giants,…
I know people talk about the 30 plus years of continuous Hall of Fame quarterback play by the Packers, but what gets overlooked is how stellar their left tackles have been during this time. If the Packers were a college team they would be known as ‘Left Tackle U’. There are maybe 3 or 4…
I know that many people look forward to Aaron Rodgers book recommendations when he appears on the Pat McAfee show. I too love reading so I thought I would throw out some of the books I would recommend to the Complicated Fella. Click here to see the actual Aaron Rodgers Book Club books. Ego Is…
Green Bay is a quarterback factory. The backups in this city would be franchise players in most cities. It is a true embarrassment of riches.There has been so much talent stuck behind Favre and Rodgers that it really isn’t fair. Let me break down the ten best backup quarterbacks during this stretch. And no, T.J….
I woke up this morning and the first thing I saw on Twitter was a video of Deshone Kizer talking about Aaron Rodgers asking him if he believed in 9/11 during his first meeting. From that point Kizer goes on to say all the other materials Rodgers has given him to open and free his…
The Packers have the 28th pick in the 2022 NFL draft (assuming they don’t trade it). If history is any indication, they will use the pick on a defensive player. The Packers have picked 28th on five different occasions and have selected a defensive lineman twice, a defensive back twice, and a guard. Let’s take…
Now that the 2021 season is officially over for the Packers, it’s time to turn our attention to 2022 à la Bill Belichick. Below is my first mock schedule including playoffs. Yes, I think the Packers will once again have the #1 seed but this time the make it to the Super Bowl where the…
Mina Kimes had a question earlier this week about your goofiest sports take that you actually kind of believe and I feel passionately about mine: getting rid of the NFL draft. What's your goofiest sports take that you actually kind of believe? Mine is: If the Bills want to truly get the most out of…
Before everyone realized that Matt Nagy was a terrible head coach, he had a very promising start. Everyone was impressed with his bald head and visor combo and how he was going to turn Mitch Trubisky into the next Rex Grossman. One of the things that commentators and media pundits loved early on was that…
![Giving Every NFL Head Coach a Nickname [Updated 2023]](https://samsonthebeard.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/head-coach-nickname.jpg)
Everyone used to have a nickname back in the good ole days so I wanted to recreate those simpler times by giving each NFL Head Coach a nickname. AFC East Sean “Opie” McDermott Buffalo Bills Mike “Eminem” McDaniel Miami Dolphins “Cheatin” Bill Belichick New England Patriots Robert “In Over My Bald Head” Saleh New York…
There are still 12 teams in the NFL that have never won a Super Bowl (4 have never even been to a Super Bowl). Will their luck change this year? Probably not, but just for shits and grins, I’m going to rank how likely each of those 12 teams will come to bringing home their…
If I am to believe the thought leaders in LinkedIn, everything is about branding. With this in mind, I think Lambeau Field needs a new nickname. The Frozen Tundra worked for a while but I think we need something fresh and non-redundant. Ohio State’s stadium is called the horseshoe. In the early 90’s, they called…
