Cincinnati Bengals loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the Super Bowl ended the 2021-2022 NFL (National Football League) season. Ever since then, one of the wildest off-seasons was launched which will cause the NFL’s 2022 season to look more different than it has before.
One way the NFL was going to look different was with Tom Brady’s retirement.
Tom Brady has played 22 seasons, winning six Super Bowl’s with the New England Patriots and one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Many NFL fans pondered on when his retirement would be. But on February 1st, he announced that he was stepping away from the field.
The league was going to look very different since he’s been in it for the past two decades, until he announced his return to the NFL after a one-month retirement.
Tom Brady will be coming back to Tampa Bay to play his 23rd season.
Another quarterback that was in the news was Green Bay’s Aaron Rodgers. Many thought that Aaron Rodgers wasn’t going to be in Green Bay after last year.

Throughout the season he gave clues on wanting to leave Green Bay to play at another team.
The two teams that showed a lot of interest in him were the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Denver Broncos.
However, Aaron Rodgers resigned to the packers for 50 million a year for four years. Many fans were shocked and Packer fans were ecstatic.
But with this signing of Aaron Rodgers, the packers where not able to keep, arguably the best wide receiver in the league, Devante Adams.
Devante Adams signed to the Las Vegas Raiders being reunited with his old college quarterback Derek Carr.
With the Packers resigning a top two quarterback, that left him with nothing much to support him.
Along with Devante Adams leaving Green Bay, one of the top defensive players on the packers, Za’Darius Smith, left the packers to go to the Minnesota Vikings.
It is going to be interesting to see how the Packers are going to be. They could be either one of the best teams or be stuck on the bottom.
With neither the Broncos nor Pittsburgh Steelers being able to land Aaron Rodgers, they both got a new quarterback to lead the team.
Denver Broncos landed on one of the best quarterback options with the signing of Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russel Wilson.
Russel Wilson brought the Seahawks to two Super Bowls winning one and losing one.
With the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger who was the Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback for the last 18 seasons, they landed on Buffalo Bills back up quarterback Mitch Trubisky.
Trubisky was the Chicago Bears starting quarterback before being demoted to a backup behind Josh Allen.
Buffalo Bills however also picked up two-time Super Bowl winning linebacker Von Miller.
Von Miller won his first ring with the Denver Broncos and won his second ring with the Los Angeles Rams the previous year.
The Bills already had a dangerous offense and defense but picking up one of the best linebackers in history will only make them more frightening.
Another linebacker to switch teams was Khali Mack, linebacker for the Chicago Bears. During this years off season Khali Mack went to the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Chargers have a dangerous offense being led by Justin Herbert. And now the chargers might have one of the better defenses in the league.
The Chargers also acquired cornerback J.C Jackson to their roster from the New England Patriots, making their defense a top-notch defense.
Bobby Wagener is another linebacker to leave their team. Bobby Wagener left the Seattle Seahawks to go to the previous Super Bowl winners the Los Angeles Rams.
The Rams now have the number one defensive linemen, linebacker, and corner in the league.
Another Bears player to leave was wide receiver Allen Robinson going to the Los Angeles Rams.
Another major trade to take place was Tyreek Hill leaving Kanas City to go to Miami.

Tyreek Hill is the fastest wide receiver in the NFL and was a major weapon on the field for number one quarterback Patrick Mahomes.
With this trade, the Miami Dolphins now have the fastest wide receiver core with having Jaylen Waddle and now Tyreek Hill.
Miami Dolphins traded Devante Parker to the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs picked up Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster.
The Cleveland Browns signed Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson. Watson dealt with legal trouble during last season, and we couldn’t see one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL play.

However, Watson beat his case and got off not guilty and will continue his career with the Cleveland Browns.
With this pick up, Baker Mayfield who was the starting quarterback for the Browns, was kicked to the curb and is now on the search for a new team.
Going with Deshaun Watson to the Cleveland Browns is Dallas Cowboys star wide receiver Amari Cooper.
The Jacksonville Jaguars should look way better then they did last year. They had the first overall pick where they picked star college quarterback Trevor Lawrence.
To help Lawrence they picked up Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk after giving wide receiver DJ Chark to the Detroit Lions.
Not only will this move help the jaguars, but another first overall pick in this year’s draft will help the Jags.
Some other major moves this year includes Carson Wentz going to the Washington Commanders and longtime Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan leaving to take place of Wentz in Indianapolis as the new starting quarterback for the Colts.
College star quarterback Marcus Mariota will cover for Ryan’s absence in Atlanta.
With all these new changes to the NFL, next years league may be one of the most exciting seasons to watch. And who knows what changes could be made in the rest of the NFL’s offseason.
The NFL (National Football League) has just come to an end on February 13th, with the Los Angeles Rams beating the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 with a game winning touchdown hauled in by Cooper Kupp.
With the season Kupp had, racking in 1,947 yards and stacking 16 touchdowns to his stat chart, he’ll shoot to a round 1 pick in Fantasy Football.
Football is known as a fall sport in America, and NFL fans have a 5 month wait until their desired sport comes back on their television screens.
But this year football is going to be played in the spring with the return of the USFL (United States Football League).
The league will officially be back April 16th, 2022, after being ceased 1986.
The League will go from April to June with 40 regular season games, 2 playoff and 1 championship. 8 teams are ready to battle for the championship, and on those teams are blood-thirsty players looking for their chance to get to the NFL.
The teams are the New Jersey Generals, Michigan Panthers, Philadelphia Stars, Pittsburgh Maulers, Birmingham Stallions, Houston Gamblers, New Orleans Breakers, and the Tampa Bay Stallions.
The first day of drafting players was on February 23rd. Quarterbacks were the chosen as the required first round pick.
Michigan Panthers had the first overall pick selecting Shea Patterson out of the University of Michigan.
Another notable pick in the USFL draft was Kyle Slotter, a quarterback who was passed around the NFL being with 6 different NFL teams.
He was with the Denver Broncos, Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals, Detroit Lions, Chicago Bears, and the Las Vegas Raiders.
Before heading to the USFL he will put his NFL career on hold, leaving his current NFL team the Minnesota Vikings. Kyle will no longer have to trail Kirk Cousins as a back up and is ready for his time to shine.
Mike Pereira, head of officiating for the USFL, explained some of the different rules for the USFL in comparison to the NFL.
Stating, “You don’t like that roughing the passer call that was made. Well guess what? I’m in the replay center and neither do I. So, we’re going to take it off.”
Pereira also explained how instead of bringing the ball to the spot of the foul on pass interference calls, which means a team could move up 40 yards with no guarantee of the receiver catching the ball, they will just make it a 15-yard penalty copying off NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) ruling.
But along with the pass interference call, Pereira say’s “maximum is going to be 15 yards, instead, unless someone deliberately tackles the guy, like you saw the play in the NCAA National Championship, the guy got beat by the double move, grabbed the jersey and pulled him all the way to the ground, that a spot of foul, if its beyond 15 yards.”
Even though the teams are representing different cities, all games will be played in Birmingham, Alabama. All games will be played in Protective Stadium and Legion Field.
Owners say, “They are happy to be playing in the Magic City.”
Along with the USFL, the XFL is going to make a comeback in the year 2023.
The XFL started in the spring of 2020, but due to COVID-19 the league was forced to stop play and cancel the rest of the season.
With the league being a fresh organization, it didn’t make the amount that was invested in it. COVID eliminated all games and cut off all their funds with TV deals and tickets sales.
But fortunately, a beloved celebrity known as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson bought the league. This revival of the XFL is going to be a major impact of spring football. Along with the USFL, the XFL will have 8 teams.
Those teams being the D.C Defenders, Dallas Renegades, Houston Roughnecks, Los Angeles Wildcats, New York Guardians, Seattle Dragons, St. Louis Battlehawks, and the Tampa Bay Vipers.
The season will have 10 games being shorter then the USFL.
When the league was being played 2 years ago it was a major hit with star players such as P.J Walker.
With Walkers intense arm strength, being able to make long accurate passes. Not only was his arm strength was at a high level, but his vicious speed was also a major bonus allowing him to escape collapsing pockets, escape a tackle and make a touchdown pass.
With 5 games played before COVID ended the season, he ended the season with a 65% completion rate, 1338 passing yards, 15 touchdowns and 4 interceptions.
His longest passing touchdown was 84 yards. NFL teams saw the talent he possessed in the XFL and finally the Carolina Panthers picked up P.J Walker.
However, in the NFL he wasn’t as deadly as he was in the XFL.
With the new leagues coming in the spring football it will finally become a year-round sport for fans. These leagues won’t be as big as the NFL and won’t take over the league, but it will be good entertainment while we wait for the NFL.
Music plays a major role in all our lives. Whether it was getting hyped before a sports game or wanting to relax while you play videogames, music was a to go to for many of us.
So, while we are in the early stages of the new year, let’s look back at those hit songs by our favorite rappers and the songs that got us through the past decade.
2010 was responsible for some of our desired rap songs and party hits. One of the most notorious rap albums of all time is My Beautiful and Dark Twisted Fantasy by Kanye West.

Starships” by Nicki Minaj, Love Sosa by Chief keef, and Mercy by Kanye West were some other songs from 2012 that were blowing up the charts.
2013 didn’t disappoint with hit albums and songs either.
Yeezus is Kanye West’s most idiosyncratic album by having more unique sounding beats.
Many people thought it was Ye’s first “bad” album and due to that factor, it had his lowest first week sales at 327,000.
But it later grew on many people and for some becoming their favorite Ye album.
Nothing Was the Same by Drake was also released in 2013 and this album blew up on the billboards.

However, singles made 2014 with many singles like, No Type by Rae Sremmurd, Anaconda by Nicki Minaj, and We Dem Boyz by Wiz Khalifa.

One of the places to head for relaxing and fun winter activities is Edgewood Golf Course. Edgewood makes sure to keep people busy in the summer, but unlike many other golf courses, they open their grounds for people in the winter.
