The experts had them ranked between 24th-27th in the league and it left fans mentally stuck between “Don’t panic, they’re still working things out” to “Noooo… they suck! It’s 2024 all over again.” Luckily in this region, fans are bred […]
Things have gone mostly well for the Miami Hurricanes through 7 games this season. Things have been particularly better on the defensive side of the ball.

We’re now nearly a week removed from the news that Portland Trail Blazers Head Coach Chauncey Billups was arrested on illegal gambling charges connected with organized crime.

Through seven games this season, Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has not produced the numbers many were expecting.

I have been a long-time James Franklin skeptic in that, while he was Penn State’s head coach, no matter how good the Nittany Lions were in any given year, I could go into Ohio State’s matchup with them with a certain level of confidence. I guess by that metric, a more accurate label for myself […]

One of the things I try to watch out for, in myself as a fan/commentator is to try remember there are things I don’t know. I remember reading Bill James’ Baseball Abstracts, all those years ago, and I remember him saying ‘I’m just getting to the point where I’m finding out all that I don’t […]
