Winning in the NFL, especially against a division rival, can cover up a lot of issues for a team. Take the Cleveland Browns, for example, who pulled off a somewhat surprising (but not really) victory on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Alright folks, let’s make this one quick. The North Carolina Central Eagles are bad bad. They’re 351st in Kenpom, out of 365 teams in division 1 basketball.

Well, the year of 2025 is nearing its conclusion and the Winnipeg Jets will be glad to see it in their rearview mirror. Currently on a 5 game losing streak, the True Northers have gone 3-10-4 since November 21st. The level of the Jets’ play on the ice has improved recently, but that has only resulted in the club picking up a pair of loser points in their most recent contests. Winnipeg ( 15-17-4 ) is sitting in a tie for the 2nd worst record in the NHL before the action gets underway on Mo...
