Trevon Moehrig deserves more respect than what heâs getting
We are more than halfway through the NFL season, and weâre finally starting to get a grasp on which rookies are for real. On offense, after a preseason filled with skepticism, Bengalsâ receiver JaâMarr Chase has shown that we were all worried over nothing. Heâs been incredible. Mac Jones has put the...

NFL Week 10: Underdogs are rising up
If youâd asked anyone outside of Miami who was going to win the Thursday Night Football matchup between the Ravens and Dolphins, Iâd assume about 95 percent of people would have said the Ravens. There was no discernible metric where the Dolphins had the advantage, but you canât measure heart, I gues...

The AFC is terrible and theyâre leading us to doom
Itâs probably not fair to go in on a team for a bad performance on a Thursday night. Thursday Night Football shouldnât exist, there isnât enough time for teams to recover from the previous week, and for the most part something is always off. Itâs a game of bumper cars where everyoneâs blindfolded. B...

Any given Thursday: No, the Ravens should just win this one
Normally I would say that this game doesnât need to be played. We know who will win. It wonât be close, and anybody looking to get some excitement in their life from watching NFL football will be sorely disappointed in the final outcome. Iâm floored that the Ravens are only 7.5-point favorites, but ...

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:...

An oddly specific betting trend is emerging in the NFL
Who doesnât like earning money, huh? Everyone does. Thatâs why we all can use some friendly betting advice from time to time. To that end, if youâre looking just to do straight bets, thereâs a new trend in NFL betting thatâs been incredibly positive for some people. ...

Drumming up some interest: Boilermaker coach making a name for himself with upsets
Outside of Ohio State, itâs hard to definitively say whatâs real and whatâs Iowa in the Big 10. The conference has had six teams ranked in the top 10 â Penn State twice, Iowa twice, Michigan and Michigan State â lose over the past five weeks. Two of those six upsets have come at (and due to) the han...

College football teams, embrace your championship history, but donât be like Nebraska with Scott Frost
Itâs not 1971, itâs not 1983, itâs not 1995, itâs not even 2001, but Nebraska it canât be like this. They havenât finished a season at or above .500 since 2016. Since Scott Frost became coach in 2018, theyâve finished with a winning percentage better than .400 once. Nebraska is making some changes, ...

ESPN should replace Michigan State with Villanova in the Champions Classic

Even children can see through Aaron Rodgersâ garbage
Aaron Rodgers has turned himself into the latest iteration of Rudy Gobert, the guy who fucked around and found out when it came to COVID-19 protocols. Rodgersâ lies throughout his coronavirus saga have made him a rightful target of scorn from everyone who has actually taken this pandemic seriously â...

You canât let NFL refs 'feel'
Generally, I think itâs loser shit to blame the refs or bad calls for a loss. Thereâs almost always a chance to overcome them, and either youâre good enough or youâre not. Iâm not even salty as a Bears fan about losing to the Steelers, 29-27, due to a couple of horrible calls, because in the grand s...

2021 Rookie QB Rankings: A Fields of Dreams, the Lawrence of the land and Big Mac
Weâve reached the midway point of the NFL season, and rookie quarterbacks are always front and center, with some living up to the hype and others not as much. With that, letâs look at how the 2021 rookie class fared in Week 9....

LeBron James and the Lakers may need to admit they were wrong about Russell Westbrook sooner than theyâd imagined
The Russell Westbrook experiment in Los Angeles has not clicked yet, and I donât know if it ever will. LeBron James missing games with an injury doesnât 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 heâs 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....
