Lane Kiffin’s terrible NIL fix could have been enlightening if he’d completed the thought

The Madden 23 ratings are out, and of course, a bunch are wrong
Somebody out there, please hear what I am saying, please bring back the NFL 2K series, or at least NFL Blitz. Something has to be done to get the Madden franchise back on the right track.

Should exiting schools still have a say in their conferences?
The more I hear Mike Gundy speak from Wednesday’s session at Big 12 Media Days, I become increasingly convinced his assertion about Texas and Oklahoma wasn’t a joke.

Miami’s Raheem Mostert is Mike McDaniel’s X-Factor

The Deebo Samuel trade talk that was a hot topic earlier this offseason has cooled over the past month. The further away we’ve gotten from the draft, it feels like the less we hear about Samuel being anywhere besides the Bay Area this fall. That is until former Dallas Cowboys scout Bryan Broaddus we...
Has anyone noticed Carl Nassib isn’t on an NFL roster?
My adult life has been littered with the word privilege. When I was growing up, it was first discussed when my parents explained why my Sega Genesis was off limits as well as the living room television. Privileges can be held over a child, and if that child goes above and beyond acceptable behavior,...
