Thanks for chiming in. European club soccer still has way more indo-European players by percentage than the USA has “heritage Americans” performing in pro football and basketball. This whole forum exists around American football and its cultural ubiquity. Ask at your water cooler (in any...

Howard's two "star" freshmen left for the draft last year, too. It would be understandable if they were actually good enough to win in college first. There's probably a real inefficiency emerging with players ranked #20-50 each year out of high school. They're likely not good enough to win...

Gatlin Bair is the son of two Mormon track stars from BYU. His oldest brother is currently Matt Boling’s teammate at Georgia (decathlon). The middle brother will run track for Arkansas this coming season. Gatlin has apparently decided to go his own way and stick to football (unless this...

The MLS game this past weekend between San Jose and NY Red Bulls was stopped for 20 minutes after Belgian striker Dante Vanzeir was accused of uttering a racial slur by San Jose's black players during a scrum after a hard foul. The referee was apparently following proper protocol by trying to...

Also, Joey Baker was denied a "sixth year" of eligibility and has decided to hire an agent. A former 5-star recruit at Duke, Coach K decided to burn his redshirt with four games left to play in his true freshman season. Baker is too short to make a roster as a 3pt specialist and will likely be...

Kyle Filipowski is returning to Duke next season (for some reason). He has been a consensus top-20 pick on draft boards for over a year now. I wonder if he intends to play his way up the rankings with an extra year of seasoning or just figures that another year in college will be just as...

LOL, Okudah was seen as a "safe" pick at the time with a high floor. Maybe the Lions can turn that into Riley Moss and totally redeem themselves.

How many MURDERS will the Alabama basketball team commit before SICK FREAK lucasbryant sates his BLOOD LUST???

I'm glad there will be a clear favorite in the final. FAU's ramblin' Russian Vlad Goldin had a great tournament. I would never edit anything from my laborious tourney team previews that wasn't unwarranted - that said, I'm glad he jumped off the page as a key contributor on an overachieving side...

I reviewed my Alabama snippet and found it precise to the letter. In fact, I actually shadowed Alabama coach Nate Oats for 72 hours before publishing my article to properly capture his perspective. I also interviewed seven different team players and their friends and family. It was a very...

Stop avoiding the question!

When did you stop beating your wife?

Hunter Dickinson is transferring away from Michigan as a grad student. Sources say that it's not really about NIL money, even though he has bellyached about that in the past. He no longer sees himself as an NBA prospect and prefers to play his final year at a place where he thinks can win. That...

Interesting theory, WL. This dunk occurred in the 4th quarter of a no-defense game that ended with 285 total points scored between Milwaukee and Indiana that stayed close but was not ever really "tight" at the wire. Would you believe that starting guard Grayson scored no points before that dunk...

What an awful punctuation game for the Badgers. Hopefully their rotation gets a bit of addition-by-subtraction next season. Essegian needs a permanent green light, too! The first coach from a white-friendly program finally got hired, as Utah State's Ryan Odom was recruited back to his native...

Grayson Allen posterized an African player last night who is usually regarded as a very good defender. I think he could stand to drive (and shoot) the ball more often!

Athleticism off the charts during NBA's combine equivalent... gotta play this guy some more and unlock his "potential." Dangerous enough that Jokic is MVP-status every game. Worth mentioning (and forgive me if I get some detail wrong): Philly travelled to Denver tonight in battle of the media's...

The media complex for college basketball is less full than that for the NFL (obviously). Literally, the day after the Matt Painter "can he ever really SUCCEED" editorials spun out following Purdue's loss, another wave of jack-offs talk up his resume on behalf of his "UP AND COMING" former...

Should Austin Reaves be paid $100 million guaranteed dollars? Wow, this is a disco frenzy! I don't know! https://www.cbssports.com/nba/news/lakers-austin-reaves-is-making-a-leap-but-gilbert-arenas-rule-may-make-it-hard-for-la-to-pay-him-for-it/

another instance this week of an aggressive banshee staring down her white opponent... and then more!

It was blatant, racial, and an epitome of poor sportsmanship. Dunno how you can really "sue" for this though unless the nice-at-ball white girl logs a lasting injury.

Luke Kennard broke the Memphis Grizzlies franchise (whatever that is) record with TEN threes, scoring exactly 30 points in a blowout win against the lowly Rockets. Easy to overlook Svi Mykhailiuk's yeoman effort in the Hornets' win over the heavily-favored Mavs. He's been jerked around the...

Awesome game from Timme in this barn-burner. Gotta make those free throws though! 36-13-4 but his teammate got the first interview.

After firing Patrick Ewing, Georgetown replaces him with Providence's Ed Cooley. Both teams have entirely black rosters, so the operation won't skip a beat. Providence, in turn, replaces Cooley with George Mason's Kim English, an "up and comer" with a 34-29 head coaching record. English also...
