When I released my top 20 players for the 2014 NFL draft, I took a considerable amount of criticism for having Clemson quarterback Tajh Boyd as my top prospect. But, I’ve done this sort of thing for more than a decade and I’m fine with criticism. I simply go on what I see, what I [...]
With the Vancouver Canucks being swept out of the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs by the San Jose Sharks and their failing to win a Stanley Cup in five straight seasons, there will be a lot of necessary moves that need to be made in the off-season. Some moves are obvious while others [...]
The Oakland Athletics will return home to open a series with the Texas Rangers on Monday night — and they’re probably pretty happy to get off the road. After dropping Sunday’s game with the Seattle Mariners 6-1 (and losing two out of three over the weekend), the A’s finished a road trip through New York, [...]
Throughout the regular season, guard Gary Neal provided the San Antonio Spurs with scoring punch off the bench from the perimeter. But so far in their second round series against the Golden State Warriors Neal has been held in check. If he doesn’t start to produce soon, the Spurs may find themselves eliminated in the [...]
Big-time college football is an athletic department’s moneymaker, but it’s also the costliest program to maintain. When a football program struggles to the extent Colorado‘s did over the last several seasons, the entire athletic department feels the pain of the lost revenue and the drain on resources. The Buffaloes haven’t had a winning season [...]
Former Wake Forest Demon Deacon Chase Fischer will be transferring to the BYU Cougars, according to KSL.com. Fischer surprisingly received way less minutes this past season (14.2 MPG) as compared to his freshman year (26.1 MPG). With that much of a decline in playing time, you can’t really blame Fischer from wanting to transfer. Fischer [...]
Despite some nasty weather causing delays, there was plenty of excitement from Saturday’s round of the Players Championship as David Lingmerth heads into Sunday as the leader at 12 under par. Lingmerth’s solid performance has given him a two-stroke lead heading into Sunday, but it was the exchange of words between Tiger Woods and Sergio [...]
In what can best be classified as taking the best player available regardless of need, the Philadelphia Eagles used the first pick in the fourth round (98th overall) of the 2013 NFL Draft on USC quarterback Matt Barkley. Barkley joins Michael Vick, Nick Foles and Dennis Dixon on the current depth chart under new [...]
Brazilian international winger and Santos starlet Neymar may be joining Barcelona in the summer. The young man has plenty of skill, speed, intelligence, and an unmistakable knack for scoring goals. He has true talent that can not be doubted. However, what can be doubted is his decision-making at times. There were times in Brazil when he would [...]
Penn State Coach Bill O’Brien returns to Happy Valley for spring practice after speculation about a potential return to the pros and certainly, the Nittany Lions’ quarterback situation offers even less clarity than it would if he had taken a position with the Cleveland Browns, as the owner of the school’s career passing touchdowns record along with a [...]

The Mike Rice controversy officially transcended sports when it led to the “resigning” of Rutgers athletic director Tim Pernetti — a former tight end on the school’s football team — so it doesn’t come as a huge surprise that the backlash to his dismissal isn’t just among basketball fans and alum. Recently coming forward in [...]

Thanks to the Baylor defense riding a pace into midseason that would’ve set records for futility, the weight of the team’s fortunes rested on quarterback Nick Florence‘s shoulders last fall and he delivered. Actually, the team as a whole would improve down the stretch as the Bears took their final four games, including a win [...]

Returning running backs J.C. Coleman, Michael Holmes and Tony Gregory combined to average 4.4 yards per carry last season, as the struggling ground game played a part in Virginia Tech snapping the nation’s longest 10-win season streak at eight years in 2012. After boasting a fearsome rush attack with David Wilson in 2011 — the [...]

While Ohio State‘s offense enters 2013 spring practice in perfectly good shape with nine starters returning under offensive mastermind Urban Meyer, many giant questions linger on the other side of the ball, particularly up front. The Buckeyes boasted one of the best defensive lines in the country in 2012 but replace all four starters this offseason. [...]

After taking Virginia down to the final game for the ACC Coastal Division title during his second year in 2011, Cavaliers Coach Mike London saw his squad rapidly regress last season from 5-3 to 2-6 in conference play. This trip from second-place to the bottom of his division in relatively weak conference caused some soul-searching [...]

The Florida State Seminoles are just plain-old reloading at defensive end. Most teams — even powerhouses — would suffer greatly from losing the man many experts call the best pure pass-rusher in the 2013 NFL draft class in Bjoern Werner. This is not to even mention that the defensive edge will also lose Tank Carradine and [...]

The 2013 college football season is shaping up to be forever known as the year of Jadeveon Clowney. First Mel Kiper says he’d go No. 1 in 2013 if he was eligible. Then Clowney manages to take out a $5 million insurance plan, knowing he’s on a crash-course for the top overall pick in 2013. [...]

Bret Bielema departs for Arkansas. Second all-time leading rusher in school history Montee Ball heads for the NFL draft while key cogs in the offensive line follow suit. The squad can only bring eight healthy offensive lineman into spring practice as April begins. Wither the big, bad Wisconsin running game? Time will tell, but they [...]

James Franklin got a tough shake in his junior year. Missouri‘s first foray into SEC play saw the Tigers get rolling-pinned on the field and flattened by injury, only topping Kentucky and Tennessee in-conference. After a strong sophomore year in which he nearly topped 3,000 yards through the air and 1,000 on the ground, Franklin [...]
