Amidst a season that eventually ended with downing Washington in the National Championship Game, Joel Klatt often described Michigan as a boa constrictor. A team that squeezes the life out of its opponents slowly, but surely. It happened to Michael Penix Jr’s Huskies in that heartbreaking defeat. It happened again Saturday, with Klatt in the […]

The road has been very unkind to Arizona of late, with its previous four away games all losses by 20-plus points. Down two touchdowns entering the fourth quarter, another lopsided road defeat looked possible. Instead, the UA rallied to tie it with less than five minutes to go but never got the ball back. Ethan […]

If Boston College fans thought they were seeing an entirely new Eagles team at Alumni Stadium on Saturday afternoon, it was partly because they were. The unfortunate thing is that the results were largely the same. Less than an hour before kickoff in Chestnut Hill, ESPN senior writer Pete Thamel reported that fifth-year senior Grayson […]

The NFL season is an evolving state of affairs, and week 7 against the Saints presents a new challenge for the Chicago Bears.

Football’s a deeply ironic game, really. For instance, Reading can go on an unbeaten run despite being very poor going forwards, and then lose that unbeaten run despite putting in – by far – their best attacking performance of the season. My main gripe with Noel Hunt’s management has been just how stale, flat and […]

The Falcons renew a rivalry against their old NFC West foes when they travel to The Bay for a date against the San Francisco 49ers. Geographically, it didn’t make much sense, but the Falcons and 49ers used to duke it out twice a year (and sometimes thrice) from 1967 until realignment moved the Birds to […]

It has been my belief for a while that the baseball season does not “need” to be 162 games long. A far shorter season is more than sufficient to determine who are the best teams, with everything after that largely being limited to the re-arranging of playoff spots. In April this year, I looked at […]
