[…]

Little would they know that it could […]

All of the games are do-or-die starting next week. The NFL Playoffs are in full swing and some teams are peaking at the right time.

Trevor Lawrence was doing pretty well during that stretch of time which may have given their administration a huge boost. They started selling tickets for the NFL Playoffs. This may have not been a good idea since […]

Monty Williams and the Detroit Pistons’ season has gone south. The team had one of the longest losing streaks in all of NBA history but it was not the biggest nightmare to strike them.

This season has been characterized by the inability of Frank Reich to get wins for the Bryce Young-led Carolina Panthers, his firing, to the turnover to Chris Tabor.

Like Chris Jones, […]
