The 2024 NFL Trade Deadline may have come and gone without much of a bang, but in the handful of days that have since passed, folks around the league are still eager to discuss the happenings of the deadline… with a particular emphasis on the deals that weren’t made. Take for example, the Dallas Cowboys, whose every move, […]

Despite the 4th quarter heroics of Patriots rookie quarterback Drake Maye, the Tennessee Titans were able to survive in overtime and earn their second win of the season last Sunday. This win doesn’t necessarily alter the trajectory of the season. Tennessee is still widely expected to be among the worst teams in the league, as […]

As if opening the season with a loss isn’t bad enough, fans of the Texas Longhorns had to deal with that reality while also seeing that Tramon Mark, one of the top prizes in the transfer portal this past Spring, was on the bench wearing a walking boot on his right foot as the Longhorns […]

Nobody expected that life would be easy for the Oklahoma Sooners as they made the transition from the Big 12 to the SEC. But in Norman, you would’ve been hard-pressed to find anyone who thought that a season that would end without an appearance in a bowl game was on the horizon. But that’s exactly […]

Just a little over a month ago, Baylor head coach Dave Aranda was sitting on a seat that was hot as all get out. The Bears had lost three games in a row and only had victories over one-win Air Force and FCS opponent Tarleton State. But since then, Baylor has course-corrected and now sits […]

We’ve officially reached a point in the NFL season that fans of the Chicago Bears have gotten to be all too familiar with — hoping and praying that a new head coach will soon be on the way. It happened with Marc Trestman. It happened with John Fox. It happened with Matt Nagy. And oh-so-predictably, […]

Following a disappointing 29-9 loss to the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday, Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore has seemingly become the embodiment of the frustration and disappointment that surrounds this team. Not only did Moore make very telling comments about whether Bears coach Matt Eberflus had lost the locker room, his commitment has been called […]

Ever since Aaron Rodgers publicly and unapologetically threw veteran wide receiver Mike Williams under the bus after a late-game misconnection in a New York Jets home loss to the Buffalo Bills, the rumor mill swirled that Williams’ very brief stint with the Jets would soon come to an end. The team that was primarily linked […]

When the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals played each other back in Week 5, these two AFC North rivals combined for 79 points, 962 total yards, and lord knows how many wow plays. Now with their second meeting just hours away, one more dynamic playmaker could be added into the equation, as if the Ravens offense needed […]

One would assume that UConn head coach Dan Hurley would’ve been elated during his first postgame press conference of the season. Not only were the Huskies able to raise a championship banner which commemorated the sixth title that the men’s basketball team has won in the last 25 years, but UConn also cruised to a […]

On the very same day that former Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy was relieved of his duties as the offensive coordinator of the Las Vegas Raiders, most Bears fans found themselves hopeful were that Matt Eberflus would make a similar decision regarding current offensive coordinator Shane Waldron. It didn’t take long for Waldron to come under […]

Apparently the NFL, like the rest of us, has seen enough of both the Indianapolis Colts and the New York Jets in primetime, because with the opportunity to flex a Week 11 matchup between the Jets and the Colts off of the Sunday Night Football schedule, the league apparently wasn’t going to hesitate to make […]

This past Saturday against the Arkansas Razorbacks, Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart became the second quarterback in SEC history to throw for 500 yards and six touchdowns in a game, joining Missouri’s Drew Lock in that exclusive category. This performance raised two very important questions: If Ole Miss wins out, would Jaxson Dart — #1 […]

Even with the departure of four-time NBA Champion and Bay Area icon Klay Thompson, the Golden State Warriors enter the 2024-25 season with renewed hopes that this franchise that has won four of the last ten NBA Titles can once again contend for the sport’s biggest prize. Reasons for hope range from Stephen Curry’s continued […]

For as many franchises as there are around the NFL that clearly have a grasp on how an organization should be built and operated, there are seemingly twice as many that have gone the opposite direction. Much to the dismay of members of the Black Hole who reside in Oakland, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and […]

The beautiful thing about being a football fan is that no matter how much football you watch on a daily, weekly or yearly basis, you’re always bound to see something you’ve never seen before. Take for example, Sunday’s matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars. Now on the surface, this was just any other […]

Just a little heads up coming right out of the gate… as a Chicago Bears fan myself, I can promise you, this Most to Blame column is going to be a little unhinged, not only because that’s exactly how I’m feeling after an embarrassing 29-9 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, but also because I’m positive that’s […]

The UConn Huskies have a chance to make history next April, with the first three-peat since the 1970s looming. But even Huskies coach Dan Hurley knows that UConn’s path to a third straight National Title will be treacherous. His team is inexperienced and has legitimate question marks, and the rest of the nation has loaded […]

A week after the Cleveland Browns handed John Harbaugh and the Baltimore Ravens a surprising loss, they were visited by Jim Harbaugh and the Los Angeles Chargers, and the result couldn’t have been any different. In all facets of the game, the Chargers dominated the Browns, cruising to a 27-10 victory after bolting — pun […]

The 2024 season was never going to be one where the New England Patriots expected to contend in any sort of serious way. But already, just halfway through the season, it’s reasonable to believe that Pats fans must be overjoyed with how the season has gone. Consider, New England upset Cincinnati in their home opener. […]

Typically, when opponents walk into Williams-Brice Stadium to face the South Carolina Gamecocks, what they need to be concerned with is a Sandstorm. But on Saturday night, it wasn’t a sandstorm that overwhelmed the Texas A&M football team. It was an avalanche that came in the form of two big-bodied Gamecocks who bullied the 10th-ranked […]

Although it was much harder to come by than anyone in Athens expected it to be, the Georgia Bulldogs topped the Florida Gators for the fourth consecutive time on Saturday afternoon, overcoming an early deficit to secure a 34-20 win and keep their SEC title hopes alive. The game swung in Georgia’s favor after Florida […]

For the last week, the buzzword inside of the Chicago Bears organization has been ‘accountability.’ In fact, a quick Google search of ‘Chicago Bears accountability,’ will yield all sorts of results, ranging from whether Tyrique Stevenson has taken enough accountability for his blunder on the soul-crushing Hail Mary loss to the Commanders, or whether Doug […]

Sacramento Kings forward DeMar DeRozan scored 33 points, dished out 4 assists and had 3 steals in a return to Canada against the Toronto Raptors on Saturday night. Some day down the line, DeRozan will have his jersey lifted into the rafters of the arena he played in for nine seasons. But as for who […]

It certainly wasn’t the sexiest win of the Ryan Day era at Ohio State, but on Saturday afternoon the 4th-ranked Buckeyes were able to grind out a win at Beaver Stadium over a previously unbeaten Penn State Nittany Lions squad. This win marked the eighth straight Ohio State over their Big Ten rival, and given […]

Last Sunday afternoon the Cleveland Browns managed to keep a sliver of hope alive for their 2024 season with a stunning upset of the surging Baltimore Ravens, but the win came with a price. The Browns lost Pro Bowl linebacker and leading tackler Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah to a neck injury that landed him on the injured […]

Maybe it’s time we start putting a little more respect on Buddy Hield’s name. In fairness, if Hield continues playing like he has in his first handful of games as a member of the Golden State Warriors, it will be unavoidable because Stephen Curry’s “Splash Buddy” has already made a major splash with the Dubs. […]

The New York Jets stopped their five game skid with a win over the AFC South leading Houston Texans on Thursday night, but just hours before the game, the desperate Jets were deal a blow in the form an unfortunate Allen Lazard injury decision. Allen Lazard suffered a chest injury during New York’s primetime loss […]

With a 2-6 record at the end of the month of October, the New York Giants are in a position where they are expected to be sellers ahead of next week’s NFL Trade Deadline. This doesn’t necessarily mean that anything will unfold between now and Tuesday afternoon, but teams will certainly be calling Giants general […]

This past March, the Alabama Crimson Tide made their first Final Four appearance in program history, capping off what was arguably the best basketball season in school history. For many schools, an accomplishment like this one would be enough to remain content heading into the following season. But seven months later, the collective mindset in […]

Dabo Swinney’s Clemson Tigers find themselves in a familiar position as the calendar page has turned to November… near the top of the ACC standings and firmly in the mix for a berth in the College Football Playoff field. But there are still a handful of tests that the Tigers will need to pass before […]

The 19th-ranked Ole Miss Rebels have already dropped two games in SEC play, but with four games left on the schedule, including a home matchup with the Georgia Bulldogs next Saturday, there’s reason to believe that Lane Kiffin’s squad can claw their way back into the College Football Playoff picture. But the Rebels can’t afford a […]

The first matchup of the season between the Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves did not disappoint, as two of the Western Conference’s best teams delivered a physical, intense, down-to-the-wire thriller at the Target Center on Friday night. In the end, the game unfolded the same way the Western Conference semifinals did this past May… down […]

The Cincinnati Bengals are running out of time to make good on their early-season talk that they, and not the two-time defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs, were the team to beat in the AFC. Right now, Ja’Marr Chase’s bold proclamation looks like a swing and a miss, as the Bengals are 3-5, and […]

The month of October is often referred to as Spooky Season, and for the Houston Texans, it has been a month full of frights that have turned one of the AFC’s top contenders into a skeleton crew… pun intended. Veteran safety Jimmie Ward and starting linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair have both been out for three weeks […]

When the Indiana Hoosiers hired Curt Cignetti to be the 30th head coach in program history last November, there wasn’t anyone disputing that Indiana had hired a good football coach. If you didn’t know who Cignetti was, a simple Google search would’ve let you know that Cignetti has won everywhere he’s gone. He brought a […]

After a 3-0 start to the 2024 season, the Seattle Seahawks have crashed back down to earth over the last month, having lost four of their last five games. In fairness to Seattle, three of those four losses came against Buffalo, Detroit, and a desperate San Francisco 49ers team that still has loads of talent […]

As the Philadelphia Eagles attempt to keep pace with rookie sensation Jayden Daniels and the Washington Commanders at the top of the NFC East, they’ll likely need to do so with one of their most reliable offensive weapons out for the third-consecutive game on Sunday afternoon. Per ESPN’s NFL insider Adam Schefter, Eagles tight end […]

For 40 years, the Maui Invitational has been one of college basketball’s marquee early-season tournaments, often hosting some of the best programs in the nation who are looking to take in some island-living relaxation while also establishing themselves as one of the top programs in the country in the opening month of the season. For […]
