The San Diego Chargers have been scouring the free agent market for weeks to find their next left tackle. They finally got their man, signing left tackle Max Starks to a one-year deal. Starks, 31, started all 16 games for the Pittsburgh Steelers last season. At 6-foot-8, 345 pounds, he’s an average, durable left tackle [...]
The Edmonton Oilers have a roster that is full of big-name young talent. With Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Nail Yakupov up front, they were expected to be a playoff contender. That didn’t happen this season, and as the team looks to the future they would be wise to strengthen their defense and [...]
Yu Darvish is doing so well these days, he even makes losses look impressive. Yes, the Texas Rangers were unable to prevent the second loss in what’s now a two-game skid against the divisional rival Oakland Athletics on Tuesday, but as you can probably tell by the 1-0 score, very little of that defeat could [...]
The Oklahoma City Thunder landed the 12th pick in the 2013 NBA Draft lottery Tuesday night. With much anticipation as to what the Thunder will do in bettering their roster, general manager Sam Presti will have a plethora of options going into draft night. The question is, what would be the best acquisition to improve an already star-studded cast on this [...]
The Florida State Seminoles lost a ton of talent from their defensive line in 2012. Bjoern Werner (1st round pick, Indianapolis Colts), Cornellius ‘Tank’ Carradine (2nd round pick, San Francisco 49ers), Brandon Jenkins (5th round pick, Washington Redskins) and Everett Dawkins (7th round pick, Minnesota Vikings) are all gone. Fact: those players combined for 69.5 [...]
Five-star Greensboro, North Carolina native Theo Pinson has decided he will attend the University of North Carolina to play basketball after his senior year in high school. Pinson is already the third top-15 recruit to commit to Carolina from the class of 2014 as he made his decision today. ESPN has Pinson as the No. 13 [...]
You might as well call the Cleveland Cavaliers the Boston Celtics because they’ve got the luck of the Irish. Since LeBron James split town to take his talents to South Beach three years ago, the Cavs have now won the NBA lottery twice and hold the No. 1 overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft. [...]
From an offensive perspective, the Carolina Panthers are one of the most exciting teams to watch in all of football. Largely due to the young superstar under center. We know how good he is, and we will get into that in detail. So, let’s take a look at the fantasy good and bad of the [...]
Yesterday, the Big Ten officially announced the 2014 schedule. A quick glance through their Big Ten schedule shows that the Wisconsin Badgers have a great path to making it back to Indianapolis for the Big Ten Championship game.

After looking at the Wisconsin Badgers‘ quarterbacks and running backs, the next position up is fullback. With many positions in flux for the Badgers, this one is not. The starter here is redshirt sophomore Derek Watt with converted running back Derek Straus and junior transfer Kevin MacCudden backing him up. In his freshman year, Watt [...]

Yesterday, I looked at the Badgers‘ running back situation for this upcoming season. Today, I’m going to delve into the team’s quarterback situation. While Montee Ball was the pillar in the middle of the team’s stalwart rushing attack, quarterback was a revolving door last season due to injuries and ineffectiveness. The team used three starting quarterbacks last season, Danny O’Brien, Joel Stave and Curt [...]

Losing a starter is a setback for most teams. If that starter is a Doak Walker Award winner it would be devastating for even more teams, and losing the FBS touchdown leader is catastrophic for just about everyone. The Wisconsin Badgers are faced with that situation, as the departure of Montee Ball should have left [...]

The spring game is the culmination of spring practice in which for the first time all spring–in front of thousands of people–the players get to play in a live scrimmage.

Fresh off a Rose Bowl appearance, the Wisconsin Badgers will look considerably different this upcoming season. Gone is head coach Bret Bielema to Arkansas, gone is more than half of the assistant coaches, some of whom followed Bielema to Arkansas, others accepted positions elsewhere. Also gone is FBS rushing touchdown leader Montee Ball who left an indelible mark [...]

Despite having three players who each started at least three games last year, there is another quarterback who is chomping at the bit for his chance to play. Ranked as the 15th best quarterback coming out of high school, Bart Houston still flew a little under the radar. His high school, De La Salle, despite [...]
