The Week 11 QB notebook is live. This week, I’m looking at… 🏈 The root cause of JJ McCarthy’s problems 🏈 The play that has me fading any Kirk Cousins optimism 🏈 Drake Maye’s sack rate 🏈 The worst INT I’ve ever seen 🏈 More! www.theringer.com/2025/11/18/n...

Went to a screening a couple months ago. As a Denver Post alum, and die-hard fan of local news, it hits really hard. A must-watch if you want to understand what's happening to newspapers across the country and why local news matters so much.

Bad Hang with Bill Belichick

1.5 episodes into the Denver season of Love Is Blind, and all I'm gonna say is there's a lot of Douglas County energy so far.

Michael’s, no.

This was Charlie Blackmon's walk up song forever, so a big piece of Denver sports lore. Glad they're playing it at Mile High!

I will not be gaslit into thinking the Chiefs offense is Back because of Tyquan Thornton.

even Derek Carr is like, bro WYD

The ICE recruitment ad that’s running non stop during NFL games is really disgusting. I’d say the networks should be ashamed of themselves but we know they have no shame.

New Ringer NFL Show! @lindsayhjones.bsky.social joins to talk about Week 2 storylines that *actually* matter. Feel-good Raiders, new-look Seahawks, and potential for the Dolphins season from hell. Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/6Oma... YouTube: youtu.be/zakSbrxiT3k?...

Huge stadium news in Denver. From the DP's report: -Team + city say "no new taxes" -Initial plan is for stadium with retractable roof and natural grass surface. -Burnham Yard is the referred site, not finalized yet.

I feel personally attacked by all the ways Matt Prater, who was essentially a rookie my first year covering the Broncos, has been called geriatric 😭

Matt Prater, I pray to you, brother.

can we just fast forward to the afc title game? don't want to wait for these two teams to play again.

RICH

I watch so much Daiyan Henley content on the Chargers social channels I almost forgot he actually plays football too.

my goodness ceedee .... jeeeeeeeez

Well, damn, @alansiegella.bsky.social has me all in my memories of the mid-aughts on the sports staff of the Palm Beach Post. This one's for the elder millennial + Gen X ex-newspaper hacks: www.theringer.com/2025/09/04/t...

Got a new story in The Ringer today. You have encountered Steelers exceptionalism a million times. It's the belief that the Pittsburgh NFL team is football's one indispensable franchise and somehow different from the other 31. It's also about to come crashing down www.theringer.com/2025/09/02/n...

man nothing brings us all together on here like bill belichick's team getting its ass kicked

LONG LIVE THE EM DASH www.theringer.com/2025/08/20/p...

Taylor, Every Single Album was RIGHT THERE but OK fine go on a football pod

well that escalated quickly (and predictably)

the cowboys sure do love mess, huh

Replay review on the opening play of the preseason. Iconic.

Wrote about UNTUCKit’s Belgrade location and Horse Man’s win at Duzijanac.

Detailed reporting here on they very scary and sad shooting in NYC yesterday.

I wrote about South Park

Malcolm-Jamal Warner, most remembered for playing Theo Huxtable on ‘The Cosby Show,’ passed away Sunday. But his legacy spans much more than one character. I wrote about how I’ll remember him best. www.theringer.com/2025/07/21/t...

I wrote about the flaws in the selection process after Howell was hired. Sometimes I hate being right. (The then and now.) www.nytimes.com/athletic/464...

Sure seems like the NFLPA had a lot of important internal stuff they could have been focused on over the past year instead of the external media policy.

good morning to everyone whose FYP is the affair revealed on the jumbotron at the Coldplay concert

I wrote a little bit about Kerrville and Texas, a couple of places that are special to me that I'm still rooting for.

He’s 40, he just opted in, and he’s made zero trade requests (that we know of). So why is LeBron dominating the NBA offseason like it’s 2010 again? Latest from me, at The Ringer:

Just wait till you see me at Water World tomorrow with three kids and that tube for the dinosaurs ride

Always. Read. Nancy.

wrote about Aaron Rodgers’ fit with the Steelers and the state of his game coming off a subpar 2024 season www.theringer.com/2025/06/06/n...

I ran today for the first time since late April. It was only one loop of Wash Park. It was slow. But I was with my friends and while I'm severely out of shape, my calf didn't hurt at all. It'll be a gradual return to training, but simply putting on my shoes made me feel like myself again.

if aaron rodgers had waited like 2 more hours he could have been in charge of doge instead

Lots of great stories about the end of ATH - this one really got to a lot of the magic and meaning of Tony, the staff, the panelists and the show. www.theringer.com/2025/05/28/t...
