As we all know, Covid-19 is still running rampant through the world and it is affecting all parts of our lives. So the Pigskin Deficient Series is here to help keep football fans current on what sports will be available this year. More specifically, I’m here to let you know what sports we will end up watching, pissed because they are not as exciting as football. Yet we will find ourselves cheering and eating wings and buffalo dip like it’s nobody’s business. So, first up to the plate is a sport that half of you didn’t even know existed (I see we are off to a good start already!). There will be ..read more

So in the Covid-19 world that we all live in, the sports world is finding it hard to get back on track and maintain the lucrative business that it once enjoyed. With a lot of the country starting to open up, it is easy for restaurants, gyms, stores, and other businesses to decide to reopen the doors for the sake of keeping their livelihood afloat. It is a little more complicated for sports franchises. With that, one ingenious idea that the Miami Dolphins came up with was to turn their stadium into a drive-in movie theater. Awesome idea right!? I think so too! Obviously, movie theaters are clos ..read more

This situation with Dak Prescott shows no sight of ending, not anytime soon at least. As someone who is not a Dallas Cowboy fan, this situation is more entertaining than anything else. The Cowboys have been among many discussions year after year. It seems as if they are always expected to live up to that legacy as “America’s team”. Dak Prescott has been the “leader” of this organization for the last 4 years and he has had some very good times. There have been some bad times as well, but overall, the organization has kept its confidence that Dak can be that generational talent that they need in ..read more

I’m sensitive to the idea of some teams from the college ranks who probably will not be able to suit up this year for football. If the University of Miami was deemed unable to compete this year, a piece of me would die. But you have to look at the brighter side of things. Of course I am a Hurricane fan and always will be. But I am also a fan of college football and I will support that no matter what. If there is no Miami football, you can surely bet that I will still be watching college football on Saturdays religiously while still wearing my Orange and Green. Go Hurricanes! UUUUUUUUU!!!! I wi ..read more

The NFL had its chance to be on the right side of history. Black people love the sport of football, and black people happen to be a huge group of people that are still discriminated against in the United States of America. This i a known fact. Whether or not someone wants to admit it, that is a totally different issue. Bias/discrimination/racism against black people is extended throughout America and this includes our local, state, and federal police departments. This is where Colin Kaepernick comes into play. “Kap” noticed the issue that affected the black community and decided to speak out o ..read more

By now, we have all heard the comments of Drew Brees, the New Orleans Saints head man, echoing through the National Football League and the country itself. One could say that he is as dumb as a stooge! As we all know, this country is as divided as ever and the snowball continues to roll downhill. We could argue about why this is occurring but it would lead to nowhere. One thing that we cannot argue about is the fact that American football is the ultimate team sport and without all players being on the same page, things may not go as smooth as the team would like. Everyone has their opinions ..read more

So here I go again, trying to figure out a way to make football work this year again amid the pandemic! Yep, you see the picture above this! Now, before you just disregard everything I am about to say and move on to another article, hear me out! We all love football, and we all want football to make a necessary return this up and coming year for our own sanity and the message of it all. Sports definitely brings people together and American Football has a great track record when you look at the diversity of players. For good reason, football players are worried about their health, but they do ..read more

“Skyjudge” proposal pulled from agenda at today’s scheduled meeting. So, something else to disappoint us about the NFL, but we aren’t surprised. Today, the owners are having a virtual meeting to vote on and discuss different possible rule changes and what not for the upcoming season and beyond. Among the planned topics, the one a lot of fed up fans were looking forward to was the possible implementation of a Skyjudge. This would be an extra “ref in the sky” with the ability to overlook the game and correct officiating wrong-doings. Sounds like a good idea to us right? Well obviously, we are th ..read more

Money makes the word go round’! Yes, it’s cliche and it’s also the damn truth. This is definitely true for college football. College football brings in a lot of dough and they aren’t big on sharing (you know what I mean)! Either way, I say that to come to this point: All we are hearing about in the news are the measures that the different conference commissioners are taking and discussing to ensure that college football can proceed in 2020. They talk about Covid-19, social distancing, quarantining, and playing in empty stadiums. But really, we all already know the answer to the big question ..read more

So we all know what’s going on. Coronavirus is still running rampant through our communities and politics is continuing to make the infinite division in this country even worse. People don’t have a damn thing to do right now other than argue and it’s taking its toll on us all. WE NEED SPORTS!!! Specifically, we need football to come back on time so we can get that normalcy of camaraderie. The big talk right now is all about having games in the stadiums without any butts in the seats. A weird proposition, but most likely a necessary one. This means that a lot less money will be going into the p ..read more
