Ricardo Allen is Poised for a Breakout
Last season, Purdue football didn’t have many bright spots. It can be hard to find positives in a 4-8 season. However, the secondary was one of the bright spots. Logan Link, Albert Evans, and Josh Johnson all came into their own and had some great plays. That wasn’t the biggest story. Perhaps the best [...]
Tweet3 Players to Watch in Green Bay’s First Preseason Game
The Packers begin their first step in defending their Super Bowl title by playing their first preseason game of the season Saturday.

TweetAdam Dunn Makes My Eyes Bleed
Ok, the title of this might be a tad bit extreme. However, it is not far enough. For about the 50th time this season, Adam Dunn has done nothing to help the White Sox win a game. His three strikeouts tonight add to his league total, and the Sox continue to stay stuck a couple [...]

TweetKevin Durant vs. LeBron James
In a video I did for Rant Sports, I ranked my top five small forwards in the NBA for next season. In a bit of a surprise, I ranked Kevin Durant ahead LeBron James. I’m sure many will find fault with that. However, I have sound reasoning behind it. The gap between Durant and James [...]
TweetSergio Santos Continues His Hot Streak
I’m going to start this post off right. Sergio Santos boasts the most un-hittable pitch in baseball. I’m sure that there are people who disagree, but I’ve watched a lot of Sox games this year. When Santo is on, his slider can’t be touched. Santos has pitched to four batters this series. He has four [...]
TweetPurdue Practice News and Notes
I learned of some random practice notes that I felt I should pass along. First off, Purdue will have their first fully padded practice tomorrow. That is always a fun day in football as it allows for some full contact hitting. It’s also a big step in preparing for the first game. Second note [...]
TweetThe Return of Alex Rios
A week ago, I speculated on whether or not Alex Rios could rebound from his season long slump. It might be too early to say for certain, but the last three games have been encouraging. Rios is currently batting above .500 in the last three games, with numerous extra base hits. A subtle change in [...]
