The NFL Draft came and went, and it will forever go down as the draft of the quarterback. It marks only the fourth time in NFL history in which at least five quarterbacks were chosen in the first round. It's the first time in 22 years that the first three picks were all quarterbacks, and the eight quarterbacks selected in...
For the second time in the 21st century, it's exciting to be a New York Knicks fan. Currently occupying the 4th seed in the Eastern Conference, the Knicks have greatly exceeded expectations this year on the back of a stellar defense. Furthermore, the Knicks have gotten a career year out of star power forward Julius Randle, whose season averages of...
The last 24 hours in football have been a whirlwind of outcry, complaints, memes, jokes, vibes, and protests about the state of the sport in the aftermath of the announcement of the European Super League. Unfortunately, at the root of this movement is a whole lot of misinformation that make the league seem far worse than it actually is.
Remember the saying, Defense Wins Championships. It's a cliche for a reason. Over the last ten years, every team that has won the Larry O'Brien Trophy has ranked near the top 5 in net defensive rating. While it has improved over the course of the season, the Brooklyn Nets rank 24th with a rating of 113. In contrast, the 76ers...
The last few decades of women's college basketball were synonymous with the dominance the top programs showed. It was not uncommon to see the four #1 seeds make the final four. But we are headed for a new era that is going to flip the script altogether. A new era of parity, an era where the talent is spread evenly across the country. ...

Aston Villa goalkeeper, Emiliano Martinez, is a pretty extreme example of this. Martinez was a long-time goalkeeper for Arsenal from 2010-2020. He was...
Friday night saw UConn's bid to end their championship futility end in the final four for the fourth tournament in a row. While that may be a disappointing end to a promising season, there is plenty for UConn to be excited for, particularly with the dynamic Paige Bueckers and the upcoming recruiting class. The combination of these two things is...
There are few events in the NBA more exciting than the day of the trade deadline. Teams looking to either add a piece to improve their position in the standings or offloading players in exchange for future assets. One of the more surprising moves of the recent trade deadline, and the day's biggest name being moved, came in the...
With the news that LeBron James suffered a high ankle sprain and is out indefinitely coming after a week where it was announced Joel Embiid will also miss significant time with an injury, many are wondering who will win MVP this season. This is perhaps the most bizarre MVP race in recent history.
The most popular shot is the three-pointer. The most polarizing shot is the midrange jumper, and perhaps the most iconic is the poster. But the most effective shot-in my undersized opinion is the floater. The way you can just ease into it like your favorite pair of ugg slippers. The way you can just let the ball float off your...
