As predicted, Week Two of college football did not disappoint despite the relatively lackluster slate. Four ranked teams lost, and quite a few schools categorized themselves as contenders, pretenders, or just flat-out failures. Let’s discuss the state of things after the second week of the season. Florida is not a playoff team I was happy…

CFB Week Two: Bold Predictions for Cy-Hawk, Sooners, and More
Every season, there are weeks in the college football schedule that look a bit lacking for top-end matchups. Week Two is unfortunately one of those slates. However, we’ve learned time and time again that the most surprising results and entertaining moments come when we least expect it. So I’m looking forward to this weekend’s action.…

NFL Division Winners, Wild Cards, and a New Super Bowl Champion in 2025
America’s favorite sports league is back. The NFL kicks off tomorrow night in Philadelphia, and unlike my college predictions, I’d like to get them out prior to any games being played.

CFB Week One: LSU Roars, Bama Unravels, and Texas Disappoints
Week One of the college football season has come and gone, mostly. We’ve still got Bill Belichick’s North Carolina debut against TCU tonight, but every other game has been played out.

The Big 12 Rejecting Memphis Makes More Sense Than You’d Think
Yesterday, news broke that the University of Memphis had made a $200 million offer to the Big 12 to join the conference. The proposal, in which the Tigers were willing to forego revenue distributions for five years on top of the nine-figure payment, was the culmination of a years-long effort by Memphis to join a…

Evaluating the Dire State of the USMNT
When Mauricio Pochettino was hired as the manager of the USMNT last September, optimism was at an all-time high. It felt for so long that we were one good coaching hire away from being a serious player on the international stage. American players were becoming regulars with well-regarded clubs in Europe. The squad seemed to…

Ranking a Quarter-Century of Movies That Won Best Picture
Now I’ll admit when it comes to movies, I’m a little out of my depth. I’d say I’m a fairly average cinephile. I see most of the big blockbusters and award winners, but some solid flicks fall through the cracks with me most years. As a result, I wouldn’t ordinarily be the one to ideate…
