It’s been a weird week. The Super Bowl is set. The Senior Bowl is this weekend. And yet, I still haven’t really entered “offseason” mode as a writer who covers the Chicago Bears. Chicago playing meaningful football into mid-January has thrown off my internal clock. Heck, I didn’t even realize the Senior Bowl was this week until Luis Medina brought it up in our weekly meeting on Tuesday. That said, I’ve got to start fleshing out my Bears thoughts. I’m going to dump some here today, an...

The Miami Dolphins head coach had a chance to say Tua Tagovailoa's name when discussing the team's QB situation. He didn't.
When the transfer portal opened, the Wisconsin Badgers quickly targeted Old Dominion transfer quarterback Colton Joseph as their top target, getting him in on a visit and securing a commitment shortly after.

Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia had a great college career. This past season, he threw for 3,539 yards and tossed 29 touchdowns, which led the SEC. His completion percentage was an amazing 70.6%. That also led the SEC. Yet, draft sites and scouts aren’t giving him any love regarding April’s NFL draft. He is ranked #178. […]
In the ages when multi-team neutral court events are shrinking because of the way it can interfere with NIL and mega-conference affiliation, it was worth wondering how much longer the CBS Sports Classic — which UNC has played in since 2014 — would continue. On Wednesday we got our answer: at least until 2029. We […]

Already shorthanded and now without their leading scorer, the Minnesota Gophers went to Madison as big underdogs. But Wisconsin overcame a 22-point deficit and pulled out a 63-67 win. Minnesota played a fantastic first half, holding Wisconsin to just 17 points and taking a 35-17 lead into the break. But the Badgers opened the half […]
The Wisconsin Badgers were quite active in the transfer portal this offseason, landing 33 commitments, which was the second-most of any team that didn’t change head coaches. Among the positions they attacked the hardest was wide receiver, where the Badgers landed five transfers: SE Louisiana’s Jaylon Domingeaux, Oklahoma State’s Shamar Rigby, Minnesota’s Malachi Coleman, Oklahoma’s […]
Ohio State has long been a pipeline to the first round of the NFL Draft. This year, it has a chance to do something rarer and far more difficult: Put four Buckeyes inside the top 10. It is an outcome that would normally sound hyperbolic. Top-10 selections are shaped by positional value, team need, and […]
