The Arizona Wildcats Are The Fun Kind Of NCAA Bad Guys

Kevin Ollie Will Contest UConn's Dubious, Non-Specific "For Cause" Termination
That Kevin Ollie was fired after guiding the Huskies through consecutive losing seasons was not especially surprising.

Deontay Wilder Vs. Luis Ortiz: The Things I Take Back
Just before last Saturday’s fight between Deontay Wilder and Luis Ortiz, I predicted a number of things would happen when they met.
