Someone Ranked All 32 NFL Teams Based On Mentions In The Epstein Files, And Several Organizations Have Some Serious Explaining To Do
This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
The NFL was caught up in the latest release of the Epstein Files, with just one team left untouched to date.
The Department of Justice’s disclosure was far-reaching, touching many industries, and the league was no exception.
As such, someone has ranked all 32 teams based on how many times they were referenced.
The Washington Commanders are in first place with 18, edging out the San Francisco 49ers, who are said to have 17. Super Bowl finalists, the New England Patriots are in third with 14, while the Miami Dolphins and New York Jets are tied at 14.
The New York Giants probably look the worst of the lot, but they trail the five aforementioned franchises in the top tier. Co-owner Steve Tisch’s name was mentioned in some questionable emails suggesting Jeffrey Epstein hooked him up with different women.
Tisch’s mentions forced a response from the league, and we’re yet to see what action they’ll take, if any.
Tennessee Titans Top Epstein Files’ Mid-Range
Mid-range Epstein-referenced franchises include the Tennessee Titans with nine. The Chicago Bears, Denver Broncos and Dallas Cowboys each have seven, while the Kansas City Chiefs are at six.
There are four teams with five mentions each. They include the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Atlanta Falcons, Seattle Seahawks and Las Vegas Raiders.
The next six teams all have four mentions: Cleveland Browns, Philadelphia Eagles, Jacksonville Jaguars, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Baltimore Ravens.
Lower-tier teams mentioned three times include the Cincinnati Bengals, Arizona Cardinals and Indianapolis Colts. The Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints and the Minnesota Vikings are also among them.
Meanwhile, the Buffalo Bills, Los Angeles Chargers, Los Angeles Rams and Pittsburgh Steelers are all mentioned twice.
The Houston Texans are the only franchise with zero mentions.
The list above is unverified. We haven’t quite gotten through the millions of documents the DOJ released.
Also, none of the mentions imply wrongdoing by any of the organizations. But the Texans should pat themselves on the back for going without a mention.
It’s quite a flex, given that all other teams have been referenced at least twice.
