Trevon Moehrig deserves more respect than what he’s getting
We are more than halfway through the NFL season, and we’re finally starting to get a grasp on which rookies are for real.

The AFC is terrible and they’re leading us to doom
It’s probably not fair to go in on a team for a bad performance on a Thursday night.

It’s a game of bumper cars where everyone’s blindfolded. B...

Gird your loins for the Coach K farewell tour
College basketball is back in all its upset-heavy glory. Opening night saw No. 17 Ohio State coming THIS close to dropping one to Akron, Navy beating No. 25 Virginia out of nowhere, and a fun Top-10 matchup between No. 10 Kentucky and No. 9 Duke kicking off the biggest story of this season:...

LeBron James and the Lakers may need to admit they were wrong about Russell Westbrook sooner than they’d imagined
The Russell Westbrook experiment in Los Angeles has not clicked yet, and I don’t know if it ever will. LeBron James missing games with an injury doesn’t help, but things were scary even when he was playing. Acquiring Westbrook was a LeBron decision, made in place of trading for a much better shooter...

Matthew Stafford is still the same QB he was in Detroit
Welp, here we go again with Matthew Stafford. It must be extremely tough to be a fan of Stafford. Just when you think he’s rolling along and nothing can stop him, Stafford lays a giant egg in a game that he should win. It almost sounds like being a Dallas Cowboys fan. So, I get it....

Week 9 NFL Betting Primer: Best Over/Under, Spread, Teaser and Prop Bets

Did the clock strike midnight on Mike White’s fairy tale?
Less than two weeks ago, Mike White’s mere presence on an NFL roster seemed a miracle. He muddled through a 6-7 senior season with the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers, had a poor performance at the 2018 Combine, and wound up a fifth-round draft pick from the Dallas Cowboys, where he was then cut from t...
