It’s insane to imagine that in a world where we demand instant reactions from our biggest athletes that we won’t be getting our beloved media for a while now. Earlier this month Seria A, Italy’s top-flight soccer/football league banned fans from attending games in an attempt to quarantine the disease.

Yelich Deal Proves A Lot
https://twitter.com/Ken_Rosenthal/status/1234950259630989312?s=20 As reported yesterday by multiple accounts the Milwaukee Brewers are negotiating a contract extension for M.V.P and Pete Davidson Look-A-Like Christian Yelich. I just think that’s super funny. They don’t really look a lot a like, but maybe cousins where ones a millionare baseball player and the other is a cynical comedian. There’s aContinueContinue reading “Yelich Deal Proves A Lot”

In mocks all across the country the question of the day is which NFL Quarterback Prospect is the “right” choice, Oregon’s Justin Herbert or Utah State’s Jordan Love.

2020 NFL Draft Positonal Rankings – Offense
Positional rankings…an arbitrary understanding of what talent is at its finest! I sat down and did my personal positional rankings for the offensive side of the ball. The biggest surprise names for myself were the placement of Thad Moss, adding in Dayton’s Adam Trautman and the realization that there might not be any interior linemanContinueContinue reading “2020 NFL Draft Positonal Rankings – Offense”
