NBA Trade Deadline Grades: Who Got Better or Worse at the NBA Trade Deadline?
After providing a relatively quiet 2024 trade deadline, NBA teams were nice enough to blow things out of the water in 2025. Not even a week ago, De’Aaron Fox and Jimmy Butler were pretty much the only two notable names on the block. Not only did both players get moved in blockbuster deals, but superstars…

My Team Just Made the Worst Trade in NBA History
I’m sitting here at my desk just 24 hours removed from the most shocking sports moment of my life. I don’t know what to say about the trade. So I’m going to ramble. And before I go any further – just know this one is for me. In all these blogs, which I admittedly do…

2024 Was a Great Start to College Football’s 12-Team Playoff Era
It’s been over a week since Ohio State cruised to the first National Championship under the new 12-team playoff model.

Debunking the SEC: Does It Really Deserve That Much Credit?
November 23, 2024 is a day that will go down in infamy in college football. After a slew of shocking upsets we didn’t see coming, I was thrilled to finally see some people arrive at the same conclusion I’ve had since September. The SEC isn’t that good. At least not in 2024. And so I…

Strength of Schedule Is a Sleazy College Football Metric
There’s been a lot of buzz in college football the last few weeks about Strength of Schedule. Teams like Indiana and Notre Dame have been bashed for it while others have received a boost from it. I understand that it’s a simple concept that gives us an easy comparison between the paths different teams have…

Disrespectfully Disagree: Reacting to the Week 12 CFP Rankings
It’s funny. We spend every fall in college football complaining about how dumb the AP poll is. How there’s no logic to the voting, and how we shouldn’t leave the rankings up to 62 members of the media. How we can’t wait for the College Football Playoff selection committee to step in. And then the…

Jake Paul’s Boxing Scheme Is One of the Greatest Hoodwinks of Our Time
This past weekend, over 60 million households tuned into watch Viner-turned-Youtuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul beat up an old man. Yes, I know that old man is former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. I know he’s only 58. But we’ve been following Iron Mike for almost 40 years now… That brain and body are a bit more muddled…
