Sant-Miller: Making a giant fool of myself

Aaron Sant-Miller | Monday, April 27, 2015

Ever since birth, I dreamed of having hair like Mel Kiper Jr. It’s where he keeps his draft secrets and behind-the-scenes NFL knowledge, both of which I have none of. Wish me luck and feel free to mock my draft. Tampa Bay: Jameis Winston, quarterback, Florida State They like him, and they haven’t been subtle

Sant-Miller: The minors have major problems

Aaron Sant-Miller | Monday, April 13, 2015

Most professional baseball players are poor, by definition. Literally, the vast majority of professional baseball players are paid below the poverty line. To many, that seems like a very strange thing to hear. All we hear about is the glitz and the glam, the Derek Jeter limousines and Tim Lincecum condos. Yet, an overwhelming percentage

Sant-Miller: Urschel stands apart from peers

Aaron Sant-Miller | Monday, March 23, 2015

Not lost in the whirlwind of free agency, former NFL linebacker Chris Borland’s decision to retire at 24 has made waves. In short, an incredibly talented athlete made the decision to step down for his own physical well-being now and in the future. Some portray the decision as the tip of a glacier, the vanguard

Sant-Miller: It’s time to look out for Carter

Aaron Sant-Miller | Monday, February 16, 2015

I’m going to go out on a limb and tell you to remember a name, the name of a player who wasn’t and will not be drafted, the name of a player who has never taken an NFL snap and only caught 13 passes in college, the name of a future NFL star: Duron Carter.

Sant-Miller: Kill the MVP award

Aaron Sant-Miller | Sunday, February 1, 2015

When the announcement came down that Aaron Rodgers had been named the NFL’s 2014 Most Valuable Player (MVP), I had a knee jerk reaction. I saw a bias for the quarterback position being lived out once again. Quarterbacks score touchdowns, get the biggest endorsements, are the face of the league and have the biggest names.

Sant-Miller: Broncos shake up coaching staff

Aaron Sant-Miller | Sunday, January 18, 2015

No team is more interesting right now than the Denver Broncos. The Broncos are revamping their entire coaching staff after a strong season, something you typically see from a 5-11 team, not a 12-4 team. Most prominently, the franchise lost head coach John Fox after the team and Fox mutually agreed to part ways. In four

Aaron’s Holiday Wish List

Aaron Sant-Miller | Sunday, December 7, 2014

I find myself wishing for a lot of things during this holiday season, none more so than a playoff birth for my beloved Ravens. Yet, this is the season of giving. So, rather than publicizing all the things I am wishing for, I’ll take a moment to note all the things I wish I could

Sant-Miller: Sports craze plays with emotions

Aaron Sant-Miller | Monday, November 17, 2014

To be a sports fan is to live on an emotional roller coaster. The sadness of a loss, the frustration of poor coaching or obvious mistakes, the joy of a rivalry win, the elation of a last-second victory and everything in between. It’s a whirlwind of emotion, one without a predictable pattern. While the tumultuous

Sant-Miller: A Golden, though injured, fate

Aaron Sant-Miller | Friday, November 7, 2014

NFL’s most talented wide receiver has barely played in half his team’s games, and most fans would barely recognize his name. Fair, that’s a bit of hyperbole, but Calvin Johnson Jr.’s absence hasn’t been well publicized. Currently, his Detroit Lions lead the NFC North with a record of 6-2. The Lions are still 9th in

Sant-Miller: Notice athletes doing good

Aaron Sant-Miller | Sunday, November 2, 2014

We’re a negativist sports world, and it’s a problem. O.K., fair enough, I’m a bit of an optimist, to the point that it can be annoying to some. That being said, I think sports fans and the media tend to focus on the negative public actions of big-name athletes. I don’t have a problem with poor
