The NFL is one of the biggest sporting leagues around, and as such is receiving more and more media coverage. Websites hosted by media networks and by the organization’s teams themselves are enabling fans to engage with the NFL even more, as a social media and sports betting sites. Whether it’s just for placing NFL player props on a sportsbook site or delving into the stats because they’re a NFL die-hard fan of the league, fans can access more information and content than ever before. Below is a look at some of the best NFL blogs and websites out there.
NFL.com
To seek the very latest news from the NFL and not go to the official website would be incredibly remiss as a fan. Of course, the organization has its own app, where you can also access content and, depending on your subscription choice, stream local and primetime games.
As you’d expect, the content is outstanding and highly reliable. As well as news on teams and players, each week the news section features results roundups each week and “lessons learned” articles from the week’s action. You’ll also be able to follow NFL events from specific perspectives, thanks to the “Popular Series” feature, which has series focusing on “Top 100 Players of (Year),” “Fantasy Football” and more.
Fansided
Fansided is a slightly left-leaning, fan-focused network of more than 300 websites that includes dedicated blogs for each NFL team. Originally, it was started by two brothers who were fans of the Kansas City Chiefs and eventually grew into the network it is today.
The brothers wanted to put their own spin on NFL coverage. The network wants to bring fans together to share their passions and to show people what the NFL is all about and how fantastic it can be. As well as covering the NFL, the network also looks at politics within sports, so you may sometimes read articles discussing a famous player’s activism work.
NFL coverage on the website is extensive, with sections on just about every aspect of the organization you can imagine: news, free agency, power rankings, the draft, injuries, Super Bowl and more. Of course, there’s a juicy rumors section, too, so you can speculate on what may or may not be going down in the NFL.
Bleacher Report
Bleacher Report is one of those fan-focused blogs that people either love or hate. It has its own app and offers blogs on individual teams, plus NFL news and rumors. The site and the app are both easy to navigate and a lot of the content is less formal than other sites. The nature of the site makes it better for reading analysis and opinions about the NFL, rather than for official news.
Today, Bleacher Report is a professional sports media company. Originally, however, the site started out as an amateur sports site, as a collective blog, run by a group of friends. From there, it evolved into a small community. That had always been the goal, but now they’ve surpassed it and travelled way beyond that.
NFL Draft Diamonds
If you want to get away from sensationalist NFL coverage and just focus on what’s going with the draft, NFL Draft Diamonds is the one. This website provides coverage of draft prospects, trades and scouting reports, and looks at both NBL and college football. You’ll find in-depth analysis, mock drafts and interviews with emerging football talents. The coverage is insightful and engaging, and any player aspiring to reach the NFL would want to appear on it, as the website highlights lesser-known prospects.
Pro Football Network
Pro Football Network is a high-quality football news website and is founded on the principles of information and communication, which lead it to keep away from sensationalism and give NFL fans accurate coverage, free of biased reporting. The coverage is comprehensive and, through its high standards of journalism, designed to help fans deepen their connection with the sports. It’s especially useful for any fans of sports betting or fantasy football, as you’ll find all the news you need to help you make decisions around your team or who to wager money on.
The Cold Wire
Want the trending stories in the NFL? The Cold Wire is the place to go for this and for news on other leagues such as the NBA and the MLB. If you want to read about news and events regarding a specific team, you can just click on the tags and filter the stories by that team. On the Cold Wire, you’ll find news, analysis, trade news, rumors, injury news and more.
Fans want all the NFL coverage they can get and will never complain about all the websites and blogs out there covering the NFL. If you can’t get enough of the NFL, USA Today’s Touchdown Wire is another fantastic resource for NFL news and more.
