Micah Parsons calls for […]

The USC football program may have taken some hits this season as they have fallen behind teams like Washington and Oregon in the Pac-12 with their 7-3 record.

The NHL is still in its early stages, as most teams have played between 12 and 14 games. That means teams still have about 6 to 8 games before reaching the 25 percent mark of their season’s schedule. However, the season is past its infancy and is beginning to take form. There has been no […]

The Big Ten conference has come down with it’s ruling after its investigation of Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan program in the in-person scouting scandal.

The San Francisco 49ers were the best team in the NFL well into October, but they don’t hand out the Vince Lombardi Trophy in the second month of the season. After a brilliant start that saw the Niners win their first 5 games, they have lost their last 3 games and then had their bye […]

[…]

The Week 10 game between the Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals is quite a bit more meaningful than a matchup between two strong AFC playoff contenders.

It is apparently the end of an era as the Cincinnati Reds have declined the club option on slugger Joey Votto. He has been one of the best hitters in the National League and a 17-year veteran with the team. The slugger spoke with the media after the announcement was made, and he took the […]

Raiders owner Mark Davis decided he had seen enough after his team suffered a 26-14 loss to the Detroit Lions in the nationally televised Monday Night football game last week.

The Chicago Bears have long been one of the most inefficient organizations in professional sports with just 2 championships in the last 77 seasons.

Danielle Hunter is the best player on the Minnesota Vikings defense, a unit that has shown dramatic improvement this year.
