When I ask if there is an MVP this season, it is a genuine question, and I honestly do not have the answer. Of course, I have an opinion, but if I recall, there is some sort of saying about those. So, today, instead of presenting you with information and then giving you my conclusion,

I pride myself on having a relatively good understanding of the NFL. I document weekly picks on my live stream NFL Kickoff. If I were to begin gambling I would not make a whole lot of money, but my record of 76-46 would be at home on ESPN’s Expert Picks page. But this last weekend? Well, I went

Game: Chiefs 3, Titans 27 Chiefs Reaction: The Chiefs will miss the playoffs. In the preseason, I never, in my wildest dreams, thought we would be here. However, the Chiefs are 3-4 with only one win against an above .500 team. Their worst loss came last weekend against the Titans, a game in which Derrick

The ACC, SEC, Big 12, Pac 12 and Big 10. Schools from each of these Power 5 conferences are ranked every week in things like their sports, their academics, their social life, and their alumni network. In all of these conversations, the schools are represented by their logos, an ever present, easily recognizable symbol for

Whether you have been keeping up with Clemson already losing twice in September, or the dominance of Arkansas, CFB has certainly been a treat to watch this year. Unlike last week, which had limited exciting matchups, this week

Week 2 of the NFL is in the books, and man, was it brutal. Many key players were injured, which is always terrible to hear. However, besides the injuries, many players went off for fantasy teams across the world. Week 3 is underway, and whether your 0-2, 1-1 or 2-0, we here at the Fantasy
