FOOTBALL

AMERICAN FOOTBALL IS CHESS AT FULL SPEED.

One yard changes everything. One decision reshapes a season. We analyze the schemes the broadcasts ignore, the draft picks nobody understands, the young quarterbacks genuinely improving versus those with better pass protection.

Film study. Strategy breakdown. Real analysis beyond narratives.

We don't accept easy answers because football doesn't allow them.
