The Lions are hiring Drew Petzing as their offensive coordinator, sources tell me and @RapSheet . Pe...

Regardless of those looming thoughts overhead, the day was still as eventful as ever, filled […]
Let’s get this out of the way right at the top. Jalen Hurts did not have a great 2025 season. Objectively, it’s a fact. In terms of the traditional numbers, his 98.5 QB rating was 12th out 41 players with at least 150 attempts, he was 16th in passing yards (3,224), tied for 9th in […]
I’m going to be so real here — I hate the NBA trade deadline! It’s weeks of baseless rumours, being on edge, waiting for the shoe to drop… even though it might never drop. It has me on edge every year, and I sit here every February just counting down the seconds until it’s over. […]

I have nothing of real value to say here. It’s the National Championship Game tonight between the Indiana Hoosiers and the Miami Hurricanes.
