Around 10pm or so, as the theme music for “20/20” was firing up, I would go select a book off of one of... Continue Reading →
I am still trying to wrap my head around exactly what happened at the end of the Arizona State/Wisconsin game on Saturday night. I made an attempt to do so in my impromptu game recap (since I thought I was done writing before that hot mess ensued) so I don't want to waste time going... Continue Reading →

I’m going to start this piece off right now by doing something I normally don’t like to do. I’m going to make a blanket statement about people. When it comes to sports, people prefer things to be black and white.(I’m not talking about race, because based on the vitriol that Bomani Jones and Michael Silver... Continue Reading →

I was stunned when I heard that Tommy Tuberville was leaving Texas Tech for the Cincinnati job, especially given the destabilization and demolition of the Big East conference. Comparatively speaking, the Big 12 was a stable place.Of course, Tuberville at Texas Tech never really made sense, and seeing as how the season ended there for... Continue Reading →
