“I think there’s a lot of mediocrity in today’s NFL,” Tom shared on The Stephen A. Smith Show. “I don’t see the excellence that I saw in the past.”

Tom then went on to provide some reasons why the performances are dwindling.

“I think the coaching isn’t as good as it was,” Tom said. “I don’t think the development of young players is as good as it was.”

Tom also blamed “the rules” for “allowed a lot of bad habits to get into the actual performance of the game,” adding, “I just think the product, in my opinion, is less than what it’s been.

NBC plans to inject some Hollywood tinsel and technicolor into its Super Bowl broadcast.

Taking a cue from the Big Game’s location, SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, NBC plans to kick off Super Bowl Lvi at 6 p.m. with an opening vignette featuring Halle Berry and a bevy of stars and athletes. The event marks the first time the Super Bowl has been played in Los Angeles in nearly three decades.

The vignette will offer a tribute to football and movies, and showcase many top movies involving the sport. In addition to Berry, the feature will include appearances by Kevin Hart and Carrie Underwood, along with football stars like Marcus Allen, James Harrison, Ronnie Lott, Peyton Manning, Joe Namath and Mike Singletary. Underwood has been a part of NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” opening since 2013.

NBC shot the opening over two days at Universal Studios Hollywood, with additional scenes shot in Nashville and Denver.

The “Dark Side of Football” Season 1 participants would make a pretty darn good NFL roster – and the storylines should make for some entertaining TV.

The six, one-hour episodes of Vice’s “Dark Side of the Ring” spinoff will include an episode on Bill Belichick, another focused on the origins of the Oakland Raiders’ notorious reputation and a third that explores the league’s painkiller problem and the often tragic results of its unwritten rule to “play with the pain,” in the docuseries’ words.

And that’s literally just the half of it. Other subjects covered include violence among some hardcore fans, the pathetic (not last year!) Cleveland Browns, and one episode dedicated entirely to diva wide receivers, TheWrap has learned.

Participants interviewed for and appearing in the program include Chad Johnson, Mike Ditka, Plaxico Burress, Donte Stallworth, Jemele Hill, Bill Romanowski, Jim McMahon, Ricky Williams, Kyle Turley and Lincoln Kennedy,...

For decades, Stephen Silver Fine Jewelry has made philanthropy and community involvement a central tenet of their business, but Jared and Stephen Silver wanted to make a more immediate impact to address the significant challenges facing impoverished children and their families due to Covid-19.

Working together with longtime friend and ally NFL Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott of the San Francisco 49ers, the Silvers now announce their pledge to donate a 10 percent cash match for every dollar spent buying secondhand jewelry through their remote buying program, directly benefiting Eastside College Preparatory School and Eat Real. The Silvers have kicked off the program on Giving Tuesday Now with a personal donation of $10,000 to each charity, and their goal is to raise $100,000 for each organization over the next 30 days. Ronnie Lott will help the Silvers drive awareness and engagement with the campaign. The program has the potential to generate thousands if not...
