Although I’ve written at length about why I think the CFP has, seemingly paradoxically, decreased parity in college… Read More The 5 Greatest Playoff Games of the CFP Era
I’m going to preface this post by saying I was out of town for the weekend so I didn’t have my usual multi-TV Red Zone setup where I could keep tabs on every game. I was only able to watch a few games this weekend, so the games I was able to watch, I’ll go… Read More NFL Week 5 Reactions: Bills Blast Chiefs, Campbell Cries, Gruden’s Gone, Lamar Leads Comeback, Cardinals Stay Unbeaten
Man, college football is awesome this year. My only complaint thus far was that for as much chaos as there has been in the rankings, Bama and Georgia were solidly at the top of the rankings and clearly way ahead of everyone else.

We all saw this exchange on Sunday: They’re practically flirting with each other. “Stop ittttttt!” “No YOU stop it, silly head!” Sheeesh. Meanwhile Matt LaFleur’s like “Wow, cool. Thanks a lot, Aaron. Yesterday Rodgers went on Pat McAfee for his weekly Tuesday appearance and of course AJ Hawk asked him about it. Starts at the… Read More Aaron Rodgers is Going to the Steelers Next Season, Isn’t He?
The new rule in action. Sorry to pick on Steph Curry, but this is the clearest example we have at this early stage in the preseason: It’s about damn time. I’ve always said it should be an offensive foul to do that, but I’ll settle for a no-call. Glad the NBA finally addressed this. No… Read More “Not This Year.” First Look at New NBA Rules on Unnatural Motions, and It’s About Time
Bill, why would you kick that? 56 yards, in a monsoon? Why? It was 4th and 3! Go for the 4th down conversion. Even if you hit that field goal and go ahead 20-19 with a minute to play, do you really like your chances against Brady? Far be it from me to question the… Read More NFL Week 4 Reactions: Brady’s Bucs Escape Boston With Win in Thriller
So four top-10 teams went down this weekend. This has been a really fun college football season, but the problem is the two teams at the top just look completely untouchable.

I know we always say the SEC… Read More College Football Week 5 Reactions: Georgia is DOMINANT, Lots of Ranked Teams Lose
Both Julio Jones and AJ Brown were dealing with hamstring issues after week 3’s matchup with the Colts, where Brown left early and Julio sat much of the second half.
