Football news for every down

About Offtackle

Offtackle is a daily football news publication built around the belief that great sports writing requires a distinct point of view — not just access, and not just statistics.

Every edition publishes three voice-driven columns alongside the day's news:

  • The Notebook — the business and process story. What's being said in front office hallways. What the press conference actually meant. The human side of how football organizations are built and broken.
  • From the Trenches — the film room story. Technique. Line play. What the tape shows versus what the television narrative says. Written for readers who want to understand the game at its most fundamental level.
  • First and Ten — the joy and clarity story. Plain English breakdowns of complex concepts. Deep affection for the physical game and the players who make it worth watching. Optimism earned through evidence.

Alongside the columns, our Today in Football section covers the day's news across the NFL, NCAA, and CFL — transactions, combine results, coaching moves, and everything else that matters before it becomes yesterday's story.

We cover teams by city, not by trademark. We cover the game, not the product.
