Now, before you jump down my throat, I do not mean in terms of importance to the game of hockey. Gretzky is the greatest hockey player ever (even though I disagree with the NHL retiring his jersey.) One way Ovi can best Gretzky, however, is goals. Down just 236, Ovechkin has said he’s “going to […]

We all knew this day was coming. After their Super Bowl LIII victory, Rob Gronkowski said he was unsure about his commitment for the upcoming season. Given his durability issues, this was coming sooner rather than later. Given his dominance when healthy, Gronk is irreplaceable, both on and off the field. But the Patriots have […]

While they lost to Florida by 28, Murray State became everyones favorite team to root for. A 12 seed with an explosive playmaker in Ja Morant, it was fun to watch. During this season, Ja’s athletic ability has been all over ESPN, which will culminate in him likely being a lottery pick. Regardless of where […]

Fresh off their 2018 World Series win, the Red Sox did not need to do much for the coming season. Because all of their core guys were coming back for 2019, the Red Sox could have stayed put and focused on the upcoming season. However, it appears this was not an option for the Sox. […]

With the NFL draft a little over a month away, I thought I’d look back at one of the rarer occurrences in the NFL: a team’s first ever draft. Specifically, I want to talk about who these teams take with their first pick. To do so, we will look at the last three times an […]

No school had done what Oklahoma has done in 15 years: having consecutive Heisman winners. With Reggie Bush vacating his 2005 award, you have to go back to 1974-75 to find another team that still has consecutive Heisman winners, when Archie Griffin won it both years. No school has been home to three consecutive winners, […]

I am baffled by the stupidity of some people. So many people think one of the greatest we’ve ever seen do it should be ousted and sent somewhere else. This man has been able to do things we have never seen before, and a rough stretch makes us forget the greatness we are witnessing. Naturally, […]

In baseball, you have the utility fielder, the guy you can put in when you have a hole there. In football today, it is not uncommon to see different players line up at different positions on one side of the ball. Some tight ends can line up on the line, to the outside, or even […]

Alabama is known as a football school, and not much else. The softball team is trying to change that narrative, and is doing so with the help of their freshman pitcher, Montana Fouts.

Once again, the Patriots are in the news for the wrong reasons. If you live under a rock, Bob Kraft was involved in a prostitution ring. Bart Scott on WFAN said they should have all of their draft picks stripped to “cripple them.” The owner of where I work came in Saturday and asked me […]

When I say that, I’m not talking about revenue or viewership. I’m talking things that can’t be quantified: excitement, and just how well the league is run. Say what you want about the NBA scandals of the past, but under Adam Silver, the NBA has been something other leagues should strive for. All-Star Weekend vs […]

For some players, having a team retire their number is a huge accomplishment. Sometimes, for various reasons, teams get a little overzealous for who they retire numbers for. On this list, I am only looking at players only, not numbers retired for fans or significant people to the franchise. 5. Wayne Gretzky “The Great One” […]

If you moderately follow the NBA, then you know Anthony Davis told the Pelicans that he would not resign with them. In the same week, his agent, Rich Paul, publicly requested that AD be traded to a team that would help him win. According to ESPN, Davis was fined $50,000 for this due to violating […]

The other night while playing 2K, I had a ridiculous idea: “If I had to put together this nation’s presidents to form a competitive starting five, who would make the cut?” Well, buckle up, because you’re in for a treat, and you might even learn a few things along the way. Coach Every great team […]
