Women’s Featherweight (145) While it is usually good or interesting to be uniquely different from other people and promotions, that is not the case for the UFC women’s Featherweight division (145lbs). The way the 145 champion is quashing contenders, the Featherweight division is down to Megan Anderson, the last hope. Dana White has considered getting […]
With March only a little more than a month away, prospects for the 2021 NBA Draft have had more than enough time to make their case. With that, comes my 2021 NBA Draft Midseason Update. Players like Jalen Suggs have shot up draft boards, while others like Brandon Boston have failed thus far to live […]
The Utah Jazz and New Orleans Pelicans faced off Thursday for the second time in three nights. Utah came out victorious in the prior matchup and was riding an NBA best six-game winning streak, and it seems like my underrated claim is off to a good start. Meanwhile, the Pelicans had lost six of their […]
With Khabib Nurmagomedov out of the picture, the future of the UFC’s lightweight division is bright again. Khabib is a star himself but really got away from his trash talk and exciting fight promotion after fighting Conor McGregor. He retired a few months ago and there is a lot of speculation that he will return, […]
“TOUCHDOWN, ALABAMA WINS!” was the call made by the ESPN commentator and analyst Chris Fowler following the 41-yard game winning touchdown pass from Tua Tagovailoa to Devonta Smith to win the 2018 National Championship Game. Three years ago, Tua threw a dime to this year's Heisman Trophy winner to cap off the 2018 national championship […]
Coming into last season, many expected the Toronto Raptors to take a step back after the departure of Kawhi Lenard and they were essentially just as good. This season has been the complete opposite for the Raptors. With high expectations coming into the season the Raptors are now tied with the Pistons for the worst […]
It was only a little over two months ago that The Lakers won their 17th championship and the 2020-21 season is already underway. Every year we see players take the leap and establish themselves as forces to be reckoned with in this league. Even in this shortened 72 game season we will see players breakout. […]
The Utah Jazz are the most slept on team in the league.But don’t take my word for it; just look at the NBA’s national TV opening week schedule. Utah is nowhere to be found despite being just a few months removed from Donovan Mitchell’s incredible playoff performance. Early media coverage – or lack thereof – […]
Somehow college basketball made it through another week; which means another week for my college basketball diary. The full steam ahead model gave us a college football season, and now college basketball is choosing to do the same. Nonetheless, this journal isn’t for another scathing review over the travesty this college basketball season is; I […]
Prominence to Stardom Jalen Hurts is no stranger to the national stage. The rookie quarterback has always been accustomed to receiving the country’s attention. In 2016, Hurts was ranked as the #4 overall dual-threat quarterback coming out of high school. In his senior season, he passed for 2,384 yards with 26 touchdown passes and […]
I wanted – desperately – to have this be a normal college basketball diary. Sadly, it won’t be. In fact, it can’t be. The reason? Right now in college basketball, we are seeing that the system is so hell-bent on making the sport work for money that it has lost sight of what really matters […]
Women’s sports are continuously becoming more popular on the international stage, with new stars rising every day. There is a hunger for improvement when it comes to the inequality faced by female athletes. Each of the women on this list has that hunger and do not hesitate to show it. Here is my ranking of […]
College basketball – it’s a dynamic beast with many changes from week-to-week. And in the age of COVID-19, that truth is only multiplied five-fold. This week, college basketball saw a number of critical early-season matchups postponed or canceled due to the pandemic. And frankly, it stunk. Who wouldn’t have loved to see Baylor vs. Gonzaga […]
The NBA draft is one of the most exciting events for true NBA junkies. Teams have a chance to change the future of their franchise with a single pick. Like any draft, there are good draft classes and bad draft classes, as well as an abundance of analysis like I will provide here in my […]
The 2020 NBA offseason is behind us, and the new season is set to start about a week before the big ball drops in New York. NBA teams have been busy making moves to either build up or tear down their respective rosters. One team that’s made the most noise over the last month has […]
There are three main women’s sports whose entertainment and marketing value are undeniable. The first is volleyball, which I wrote about in Part 1. The second is Tennis, and the third is MMA – Mixed Martial Arts.Personally, I prefer women’s fighting, but for the general public, these sports have the greatest appeal in the order […]
Combat sports are not a game. And fighters aren’t your high school clout machines or big men and women on any given college campus. They are more made up of your nerds, burnouts, and ‘demo’ students. Fighters are a different type of talent pool entirely. Fighters are noble yet still willing to hurt people. Many are […]
For the first time since 2011, Theo Epstein is now unemployed after resigning from his position as President of Baseball Operations for the Cubs. As Cub’s fans, Epstein’s departure was something we have seen coming for a while now, but that doesn’t make it any easier. I’m grateful I got to experience his greatness and […]
Minnesota Timberwolves: Winner, sort of. Embed from Getty Images The Minnesota Timberwolves had the first overall pick in this year’s draft. There was talk in the months preceding the draft that Minnesota would end up packaging the pick for another star to join D’Angelo Russell and Karl-Anthony Towns. But ultimately, they decided to select Anthony […]
Terry Taylor is another NBA level player that has dominated the Ohio Valley Conference during his career. The 2020 OVC player of the year may not be as flashy as Ja Morant, or as consistent from three as Dylan Windler, but he brings his own style to the game that any NBA team can use […]
