Could you get a point from Serena Williams?

Arguably the most dominate athlete of all time, Serena Williams has been dominating the tennis court for as long as I can remember. Since 2007, Williams has recorded 72 single titles, 23 double titles and has a formal singles record of 816-140. Williams can serve the ball at 128 mph (that’s fast) and has 23ContinueContinue reading “Could you get a point from Serena Williams?”

Zlatan Calling Out MLS: Forcing The Hands of MLS/U.S. Soccer

            Since his memorable first El Trafico (introducing himself to MLS with his 40+ yard wonder goal), Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been making big waves, possibly tsunami sized, since his arrival in MLS. A large part of the storm has been his play on the field. However, he is taking it a step further, mincing wordsContinueContinue reading “Zlatan Calling Out MLS: Forcing The Hands of MLS/U.S. Soccer”

Fantasy Football Headlines to Monitor

Every year, we walk into fantasy football with a certain draft position for each guy we want. This guy should be a top four pick, this guy whould be available in the 7th, this dude will go undrafted…and they almost always come from the swirling headlines created during the offseason.

Pirates 2019 Trade Deadline Primer – by Andre Frye

So the Pirates get swept out of the all star break. It’s happened a lot over the years since contending for the division in 2013 and it’s extremely disappointing. It’s terrible considering the fact that they could have put their immediate stamp on this division race by winning this series vs the Cubs. There’s stillContinueContinue reading “Pirates 2019 Trade Deadline Primer – by Andre Frye”

NBA Players who have things to prove

Still trying to figure out which team has which guys from this offseason? You aren’t alone. Honestly at this point, it feels like I fired up 2K and just his random year dynasty draft. The Lakers v Clippers, new face Pelicans, max contract D-Lo, Brooklyn’s Best, Cardiac Cemba Celties (I’m well aware that Kemba hasContinueContinue reading “NBA Players who have things to prove”

What would a Steelers Offseason be without a little (unneeded) drama?

Let’s just start this off by saying this is just flat out not, I think every Steelers fan came into this season hopeful that the drama was gone since Antonio Brown and Lev Bell were bot off of the team. For what it’s worth, I really never thought Bell as a major “Drama” guy, moreContinueContinue reading “What would a Steelers Offseason be without a little (unneeded) drama?”
