Part of the ESPN boxing night Saturday this up and coming fighter is the REAL DEAL. A wicked first round body shot knocked his opponent down. The guy looked like he got shot. Not letting up Conlan knocked him down again in the second round. He barely got up but I figured the ref was going to...

We have our own group of "sportswriters" here and add Free to the list with his Midwest report. Great job guys. Maybe we should "publish" yearbooks like Sporting news. Ha. Yesterday wasn't awful and I just want to point out two "little" things. Towards the end of the Alabama game PG Lawson...

Tough loss for VA. Sometimes you wonder if the Devil is in the basement pulling the strings. I sure hope KY gets knocked off but they look like they will glide into the final four now. Shout out to JL and Celtic for the terrific team breakdowns for the tournament see above. On the bright side...

Absolutely JL Davidson put themselves into position to beat KY but missed too many open three pointers not to mention a grisly turnover late. Now dreaded KY looks to coast for a bit as AZ got picked off by a low level school. Wonder what ole Bill Walton would have to say about the terrible Pac...

In some quarters of the internet the Jordy signing is being received as tepidly as the Alex Smith signing. Let them whine. It will be all the more sweeter when Jordy finds his second wind. Hard to look good with a half ass QB like Hundley either missing throws or ignoring him altogether. And as...

Jordy watch------is over. Jordy signed I believe a two year contract with the Raiders for 15 M, 13 is guaranteed. Magnificent job by Gruden. Wanted a leader in the club house and landed one. Expect a step up from last season. Great pick up. Other teams went nuts trying to get him but the...

Information on Janis is predictably scant. There are a few "curious" teams wondering if his WR potential has been properly tapped. On the other hand Janis is seen as an important Special Teams player. Oddly the Packers have given him short shrift when it comes to being a Kick Returner despite...

Jordy watch!! This is turning into a major scuffle. The Saints are charging hard and the Seahawks are still lurking. What looked like a done deal for the Raiders two hours ago has suddenly gotten muddled. Now it is a dogfight as these teams fight like hell trying to secure Jordy. There also...

Jordy watch. Getting closer. What a GREAT opening salvo for Gruden if it goes down.

The Jordy watch. At this point I am hoping he lands on the Raiders. Reading the tea leaves I would be surprised if he didn't sign on the dotted line very soon. See below why it seems at least on the surface the deal could be wrapped up shortly...

Update on the Raiders/Gruden. They resigned reserve hybrid DE/LB James Cowser. Get this. QB Derek Carr went to the airport to meet Jordy in person. Gives you an idea of how bad the Raiders want him. If I was a betting man I say they secure him very quickly. Former Packer assistants who know...

Jordy one of the most important players in the NFL. The brilliant "deep threat" arrived at a critical juncture in the NFL and turned around what seemed to be a narrative cast in stone that only blacks can be deep threats. He turned that notion on it's head as he became the best. Even landed an...

Unlike college football in basketball as players leave early it skews everything. Now that the top white players are often exiting early it leaves a great void . This is very noticeable this season as there were no white players in the top 50 high school prospects from the class of 2017. And...

This looks to be a curious tournament. Very difficult to sort. But JL has been up to the task all season long and I suspect some good things will happen once it all starts. There are some key white players sprinkled about. I like Kyle Guy an awful lot and was glad to see him earn the MVP at the...

In the sprints Austin Kratz placed third in the 100 M and FIRST in the 200M with a time of 21.01. Abby Steiner missed out for a medal in the 100M but placed 2nd in the 200M.

Despite CrazyFinn's hysterical but sadly accurate point about Tiger Blow Up Dolls and the media's constant pining for another Tiger roar I am not the least bit concerned about him winning the Masters. While it is true we will have to listen to the Tiger talk which has now mutated into a weird...

First just because I am reporting a web site mock draft please do not think for one second this is accurate. As I have mentioned the few highly influential draft gurus are ignoring Apke and that is more telling. Also Apke needs a push from someone like Mel Kiper. And his pro day is later in the...

I don't see the athletic similarity Celtic. What is similar is that both got going late in college and like you said Jamerson is thought about as a 2nd or 3rd round pick and Apke is on the fringe. Athletically Jamerson is your typical muscled up modern day DB. He showed speed but lacked...

Onto Plan B then. Ha. I guess the soul crushing and agonizing experience I and others have here when it comes to the modern day sports racial outlay and media representation would be tossed out do to "lack of standing." I am still trying to figure out how the NFL can explain a player who was...

The two biggest highlights of the year for me so far is Federer winning the Australian Open and Troy Apke's 4.34 40 yard dash at the combine to go along with his great all around work out. Jason Sehorn was on the Colin Cowherd show and he said that inside locker rooms there is stuff going on he...

Good post above from 22, RTTAS, Leo and Don. I want to get this out of the way. From the many sources I have read Apke is not a SURE bet to get drafted. A very influential draft guru's post combine 7 round mock draft has him not being drafted. Although it was nice to see one source," full press...

This does not surprise me. A good guy but we all knew that. See below. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/22670827/christian-mccaffrey-carolina-panthers-credited-helping-save-man-life

I have come to the conclusion that Apke is the BEST athlete in this year's draft. And he is a solid football safety with room to get better. Yet his draft status is STILL up in the air. It would help if high profile "gurus" like Mel Kiper start talking him up. Below is a small highlight real...

I watched the replay of the DB Combine last night but somehow missed Apke's second 40 which I think was playing as they interviewed Griffin. But as they were discussing Apke during the drill, in which he looked as smooth as butter, they brought up his 41 inch vertical and started joking about...

The Apke moment. A dagger right to the heart of caste central. A silver bullet nailing the Wolf man. A knife in the heart of Dracula. Getting through the mote and storming the castle. I know it is an isolated case but it still throws cold water on the black supremacist crowd and it is a welcome...
