College Football Week 1 Talk By Liam Willerup     Technically we just had the first week of college football, but there's a reason they call it Week 0 because the big games are Scott Frost being put on the hot seat and Chip Kelly finally winning a non-conference matchup. However Week 1 has some banger games, with big time programs debuting their new NIL babies. Spencer Rattler Begins His Path to the Heisman vs Tulane     I imagine this will be far from a competitive matchup, as Oklahoma is far too talented for a Tulane team that really isn't terrible but far from Oklahoma level. Oklahoma opens at -26.5 on the score line, and could very well go well over that. Sophomore Marvin Mims appears poised to slot in as the main target for Rattler and the Sooners. If we are getting the consistent Rattler from last season, he could fulfill his potential and capture another Heisman for Oklahoma. If he doesn't put on a great performance, he'll probably just finesse as mu...

  Grading Notable NBA Offseason Moves So Far By Liam Willerup     The 2021 Free Agency class was not very star powered with players that could turn a franchise around. The main two players, Chris Paul and Kawhi Leonard decided to return to their teams this offseason. However, there were still plenty of moves that have created delusional fan bases who now think they can win the Finals (totally not hinting at the Bulls...). In order to get a grasp on these moves, I'll go over all the notable signings and trades to this point.   Chicago Lands DeMar DeRozan and Lonzo Ball in Sign and Trades Grade: B+      Bulls fans are currently peeing their pants as they acquired some dude who's offensive play style resembles that of Bulls legend Michael Jordan, and a guard in Lonzo Ball who will bring his now fixed jumper and outspoken father with him to Chicago. However, I wouldn't grade this trade in the A's though. DeMar finds himself locked into a 3 year/$85 million...

    My Guys for Fantasy Football This Season By Carson Hull      Warning before you read. You might never want to hear the terms upside, 2nd year leap, or value ever again after this piece. But if you can make it through those, I have players at each position that I love for this upcoming fantasy football season. These are the guys that I have been targeting over and over again in mock drafts praying that they will fall to me.  My Guys at QB Lamar Jackson Jackson had an underwhelming year last year because expectations were so high after his insane MVP season. If he regresses to the mean between last year and his MVP year, he should return to being a top 5 fantasy QB. He gets another weapon in Rashod Bateman that should open up the field more for him. He also has the same upside as Josh Allen and Kyler Murray but is getting drafted about 2 rounds later. Justin Herbert Herbert had a historic rookie season, and I still expect him to elevate his game even more...

  A Guide to the 2021-22 NFL Season by Liam Willerup     Good morning, afternoon, evening or night for whenever you're reading this. The NFL season begins to ramp up with the Hall of Fame game this Sunday where one of the most historic franchises in league history the Pittsburgh Steelers will play the Cowgirls. Well obviously nobody is going to be too crazy watching second stringers play majority of a game, but this game signals that coming of a new season. So what should footballs fans and spectators be aware for? The Cowgirls Defense Still Being Bad     Is this the best linebacking core in the NFL? No. Is Demarcus Lawrence an elite pass rusher? No. Is this secondary improved? Yes but still has holes. There's no lie the Cowboys offense will be elite, even with an O-Line that will more than likely not see a fully healthy season for a while. They also have Zeke coming into this year losing a significant amount of weight, as light as his college days now. How...

 2021 NBA Draft Recap: Favorite Picks, Winners and Losers, and Storylines to Follow By Carson Hull The 2021 NBA Draft has wrapped up and made for some very exciting television. From the draft rumors, to actual trades that happened, to the unexpected picks, this draft was one of the most exciting ones in recent memory. I’m here to break down my favorite picks, winners and losers, and the top storylines to track with this rookie class during the season.  My Favorite Picks Jalen Suggs to the Orlando Magic at No. 5 Now don’t get me wrong. I really wanted to see Suggs in Toronto. It fits perfectly with either direction they choose: rebuild or contend. It also provides Kyle Lowry insurance in case he leaves. But falling to 5 is great for the Magic because the last few years they always seemed to get the pick where the draft dropped off in talent. In 2017 they just missed out on Tatum, Fox, and Lonzo. In 2018, they missed out on Doncic, Trae, and Ayton. This year, they got an NBA rea...
