They’ve lost two games this year, by a total of four combined points, and both games were lost on the last play of the game. They were in the National Championship game 10 months ago, and probably would’ve won had Jameson Williams not torn his ACL in the first half. They won a National Championship… Read More Alabama Football is on Fumes Right Now. Is This Saban’s Last Ride?
I’ve been thinking about it, and I’m willing to cut Ryan Day some slack for one major reason: He’s only in his 4th season as a head coach. He’s only 43 years old. Even Kirby Smart is only 46 (turning 47 next month), but he’s been a head coach since 2016. He’s got an additional… Read More I’ve Been too Harsh on Ohio State and Ryan Day
Another night, another big, fat L for the Los Angeles Lakers. They are so bad. Horrendous. Atrocious. LeBron had a great game, 30 points on 12-22 shooting before leaving late with a groin strain. No word on how long that will keep him out for, on top of his foot injury. Age 37, turning 38… Read More The Lakers Are the Most Depressing Team in Professional Sports
I was wrong about Justin Fields. Yep, it’s true. I completely underestimated him this whole time. I had him ranked as the #2 quarterback in the 2021 NFL Draft, but I was wrong about that. He’s the best quarterback in that draft class. He should’ve been #1 overall in last year’s draft. He, not Trevor… Read More Justin Fields Has Arrived

They not only have the best win in college football (beating #1 Tennessee by 2 touchdowns) but… Read More CFB Week 9 Reactions, Hot Takes and Observations
I’m going to jam-pack everything into this single post: my updated power ratings, the betting lines and picks, and then finally the game predictions for the three most important games of the weekend: I’ll just say it right now: I think all three underdogs are going to win, or at least can win. But I… Read More College Football Week 9: Power Ratings, Betting Picks and Predictions for HUGE Ranked Matchups
The newly updated tiers: There’s just a ton of mediocrity in the league right now. I bumped the 49ers up to the second tier because of how good McCaffrey looked. I know they always beat the Rams, so I don’t know how impressive a win that was, but I think I was a little too… Read More NFL Week 8 Reactions, Hot Takes and Tiers
Khalil Mack, Akeim Hicks, Robert Quinn and now Roquan Smith: all gone from Chicago. The Bears in 2022 have gotten rid of their four best defensive players. GM Ryan Poles is rebuilding. He’s blowing it up and starting fresh. He’s bringing in his own guys. He’s freeing up cap space and stock piling draft picks.… Read More The Bears Have Fallen Into the Rebuilding Trap
After making a blockbuster trade with the Utah Jazz for Donovan Mitchell, hopes were high for the Cleveland Cavs. They made it to the play-in tournament last season, ultimately losing to the more experienced Nets and Hawks to miss out on the playoffs, but with such a young and talented core, the future looked bright.… Read More The Cleveland Cavaliers Might Be For Real | The Tank for Wembanyama Race is Not Going According to Plan | The Lakers Finally Get a Win?!
I will start here with my game notes, taken in real time as I was watching the game. I did this with the Alabama vs. Tennessee game and I really liked it, so I decided to do it with this game. I think I’m going to do it with all the big time games, at… Read More Ohio State vs. Penn State Game Notes: Is Ohio State’s Lackluster Run Game a Reason to Panic?
