The Green Bay Packers are a team with a lot of interesting storylines heading into the 2022 NFL season. The team has managed to seemingly rebuild Aaron Rodgers‘ faith in the future of the organization while simultaneously losing his favorite receiver, Davante Adams, via trade with the Raiders after some contract disputes. Then the Packers […]

The times they are a-changing. With the latest round of college football conference realignment, it’s seemingly now a free-for-all. Schools are jockeying for slots among either the two biggest Power conferences, the SEC and Big Ten, or the only other conferences with a seat at the national table anymore, the ACC and Big 12. For the […]

Notre Dame Football is one of the few programs in the country to have remained independent for its entire existence. Never has their football program been a full conference member anywhere, and only recently did the Fighting Irish’s programs in other sports make the transition away from independence and toward the ACC. However, things are […]

It’s a new era in Hollywood, out goes Clay Helton, and in comes former Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley, along with a host of transfers. It’s an ambitious move by USC football, a program who have been stuck in the doldrums of mediocrity since Pete Carroll departed over a decade ago. A move that seems […]

The Georgia Bulldogs walked away from the 2021 season with, for the first time in 34 years, a national championship. The Bulldogs did so off the back of a capable enough offense complementing one of the greatest college defenses ever assembled. However, unfortunately for Georgia, this past season also culminated in a wave of departures, […]

If there’s any coach in the country that’s well versed in the art of building a number one recruiting class, it’s Nick Saban with the Alabama Crimson Tide. Time and time again he just pops up with another excellent class like the Empire from Star Wars showing up over Endor with another Death Star. Well, I hate […]

The Seattle Seahawks are in transition. Out went Russell Wilson, marking the first time since 2011 anyone other than Wilson will start significant numbers of games. Whether it’s Drew Lock or Geno Smith is non-consequential, the Seahawks will need to get production from other places to help them out. If the Seahawks are to have […]

When Jimbo Fisher arrived in College Station in December 2017, his mission was clear. He was going to do everything he could to make Texas A&M a powerhouse both on the field and on the recruiting trail, in order to deliver a national championship to the Aggie faithful. While on-field results are coming more slowly […]

As the New Orleans Saints’ transition between the Sean Payton era and the Dennis Allen era, there also rests the need to get this team back over the hump and into the playoffs once again. This Saints roster definitely appears to have the talent, albeit with a few holes still left to fill, be it […]

With the Houston Texans in full swing on their rebuild, the focus is almost entirely on roster development. While probably the weakest roster in the AFC South resides in Houston for now, things appear to be trending upward. There seem to be at least a few diamonds in the rough so to speak, and Lovie […]

As we brace for the phase of the college football offseason between spring and fall camps where nothing of consequence typically happens, it’s a good time for programs all across the country to start shifting the majority of their focus to the recruiting class of 2023. Early signing day is a little over five months […]

The NFL has now completed 101 seasons, which is plenty of time for crazy things to happen. Across the decades we’ve seen incredible feats and incredible follies, and moments of all varieties, both the most peculiar and the most pedestrian. The NFL truly has produced it all, from classic plays like The Catch to infamous […]

Then there were two! After an incredible pitching duel that saw Ole Miss ace Dylan DeLucia throw the first complete-game shutout that Omaha has seen since 1993, he and his Rebels defeated Arkansas 2-0 to advance to the finals to face the equally hot Oklahoma Sooners. It’s time to continue our College World Series odds […]

We go again! After Arkansas worked their way out of a bases-loaded, no-outs jam in the bottom of the ninth to hang onto their 3-2 lead, a decisive second semifinal game was forced on Wednesday night. This also forces the Ole Miss Rebels to throw everything at this game, sending ace Dylan DeLucia to the […]

Ole Miss has placed itself on the doorstep of the championship series for the first time since 2014, and they’ll be hoping to do what that team led by Sikes Orvis and Errol Robinson could not. This go around it’s Tim Elko, Peyton Chatagnier, and company who come into this one on a day’s rest, […]

After a 5-2 defeat and elimination of Notre Dame that gave Texas A&M multiple wins in the same College World Series for the first time since 1956, the Aggies now stare down Oklahoma knowing they need to beat the Sooners on back-to-back days to keep their season alive. It’s time to continue our college world […]

The second elimination game of Tuesday afternoon in Omaha sees a second consecutive SEC West showdown for each of the Arkansas Razorbacks, and both will be playing for the right to continue their quest for a national title, one that would be a first in school history for both outfits. Both teams also know that […]

After the first weekend of the College World Series, we’ve seen two schools, Texas and Stanford, get eliminated from national championship contention. Now, in their second elimination game in a row, the Texas A&M Aggies face a Notre Dame Fighting Irish outright fresh off a comfortable defeat to Oklahoma on Monday. Both teams will be […]

Father’s Day was Sunday, a day full of celebration and remembrance of the fathers, grandfathers and stepfathers in our lives. It’s also a day typically pretty loaded with sports, as was seen Sunday with the College World Series, Formula 1, NASCAR, MLS games and the US Open golf tournament all taking place. However, due to […]

The 2022 College World Series has returned, and all eight teams eagerly await the opening pitch from Omaha. The opening round features four games, two on Friday and two on Saturday. This is almost always one of the most chaotic events to bet on, given the tournament’s double-elimination nature, and 2022 should be no different. […]

The 2022 College World Series is upon us. Once a year, Omaha becomes a mecca of baseball as the eight teams left in the NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament meet to crown a national champion. Teams have taken any number of improbable routes through Regionals and Super Regionals since the field expanded to 64 teams […]

The 2022 College World Series is upon us, and the tournament field has been trimmed down from 64 to just eight teams left. They’ve all taken their own unique path through the regionals and super regionals to find their way to Omaha. Glory and a National Championship are just a few wins away for each […]

The Kansas City Chiefs enter the 2022 NFL season having hosted each of the last four AFC Championship Games. However, despite being at home for these games, the Chiefs only won two of those four. Sure, they have one ring during this run so far, but they have been in a position to crown themselves […]

The Miami Dolphins’ offseason has been interesting to say the least. It started with the shock firing of Brian Flores, who guided the team to a 9-8 record after starting 1-7. Flores has since sued the team, and that suit is still ongoing. To replace him, in came 49ers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, though some […]

The Tennessee Titans fought through incredible adversity in the 2021 regular season en route to a 12-5 finish and home field advantage in the playoffs. Of course, they wouldn’t make use of it, but to even get to that point after having an injury list the size of the one the Titans were sporting for […]

The Saints are in an awkward spot for 2022. Too good to be tanking but not good enough to really make noise in the playoffs, the Saints also have to deal with a head coaching change for the first time since 2006. We know Dennis Allen’s style, as he filled in for former head coach […]

After a season where Odell Beckham Jr forced his way out of Cleveland thanks to his dad and YouTube, signed with the Los Angeles Rams, and won a Super Bowl while suffering a torn ACL in the process, he is once again a free agent. There have been rumors linking him to a number of […]

For the Los Angeles Rams, the 2021 NFL season was an absolute dreamland. A trade for Matthew Stafford propelled Sean McVay’s team to a second Super Bowl trophy in franchise history, and on their home turf no less. Players like Cooper Kupp really cemented their place amongst the league’s best, and the Rams will be […]

With the Tennessee Titans seemingly in a bit of a transition period, they’ll be looking for new faces to arise and take the mantle of players past. Out the door went the likes of A.J. Brown, Rashaan Evans, and Rodger Saffold, and in came Austin Hooper, Robert Woods and other veteran players along with the […]

Wednesday marked the first of four matches for the USMNT in June, this time it was a friendly in Cincinnati against fellow World Cup qualifier Morocco. Goals from Brenden Aaronson, Timothy Weah, and Haji Wright from the penalty spot gave the USMNT a very comfortable 3-0 win over a side who finished in the quarterfinals […]

For the New Orleans Saints, the 2022 campaign will be defined by change. For the first time since the end of the 2005 season, the Saints will be without either Drew Brees or head coach Sean Payton. It’s now in the hands of Dennis Allen, Pete Carmichael, and likely Jameis Winston. Luckily for the Saints, […]

The Houston Texans traded Deshaun Watson this offseason to officially kick off a rebuild, which has thus far been going smoothly. The Texans used their mountain of draft picks on rookie talent and a few free agents have joined the squad. Now they’re just needing a couple tweaks and they’ll be ready for the upcoming […]

It’s been a rough couple of seasons for Timo Werner since his move to Chelsea from Leipzig, where he became the club’s all-time leading goalscorer. There were lofty expectations placed on the German when he moved for just over $50 million in 2020, and to say the least, those expectations have been far from met. […]

Borussia Dortmund may be at a pivotal moment in the race for future Bundesliga titles. Sure they’re losing Erling Haaland to Manchester City, but they’re replacing him with Salzburg’s Karim Adeyemi, in addition to picking up Bayern’s Niklas Süle on a free and prizing away Nico Schlotterbeck from Freiburg. Excellent work so far by the […]

Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City secured a fourth Premier League title in five years on the final day in dramatic fashion. It took three goals in five minutes to put the Citizens in the lead at home against Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa, from Ilkay Gundogan and Rodri, and they never looked back. Now, as then, they […]

The Kansas City Chiefs suffered disappointment to end the 2021 NFL season. What was supposed to be a coronation of a second half in the AFC Championship Game against the Cincinnati Bengals became perhaps the most infamous collapse of the Andy Reid era. The season ended at home in the conference championship for the second […]

Real Madrid had their entire summer planned around financing one transfer. It was a transfer that felt inevitable for the last 18 months. A transfer that seemed almost written in the stars since the player’s childhood. A transfer that would shake the footballing world to its core, but one that will not happen. Kylian Mbappe […]

The June international window offers an opportunity for the US Men’s National Team. With two friendlies against fellow World Cup qualifiers Morocco and Uruguay, in addition to two CONCACAF Nations League tilts against Grenada and El Salvador, Gregg Berhalter’s squad will be picked for a variety of reasons. There are new questions to answer, such […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in a much different position today than they were a couple months ago, after learning they would in fact have Tom Brady but won’t have Bruce Arians. There’s still question marks on whether players like Rob Gronkowski and Ndamukong Suh will return, but those questions can only be answered by […]
