Bengals beguile broken Burrow by adding Thaddeus Moss
By now, we all know that the LSU football team in 2019 was absurdly good, right? It was arguably the best college offense ever assembled.

NL Central Preview: Smell the glove
The teams in the NL Central seem to be going completely anarchist punk these days. In a league where everyone is trying to hit more homers and amass more power, the top of this division’s strength is going to be defense, the absence of runs and hits, the cooler.
