I’m the saddest sports fan you know. I hail from the greater D.C. area, where young sports fans cry and everyone else’s hopes go to die. It has been 70 seasons since the city of Washington has been to a conference championship game in the four major sports (sorry MLS fans, no D.C. United here).

The Stanley Cup Playoffs began Wednesday night, and there is certainly no shortage of storylines for the 16 teams competing for Lord Stanley’s chalice. First, you have one of the most surprising stories — not just in hockey, but perhaps in all of sports within the last decade — in the Vegas Golden Knights, who shocked

For more than 600 Thursday nights, Club Fever stood as a light in downtown South Bend to the world. After tonight, Michiana’s self-proclaimed “hottest nightclub” will be no more. What will replace it? As of now, nobody knows. Thursday nights may never be the same (the vastly-overrated Finnies is far from an adequate consolation). Without

As Tuesday’s Champions League results proved, sometimes all you need is an away goal. Both underdogs in Tuesday’s quarterfinal rounds — Liverpool and Roma — were able to advance to the semifinals over powerhouses Manchester City and Barcelona, respectively, through the timely scoring of goals away from home. After a scintillating 3-0 win at home

Patrick Reed’s Masters victory Sunday was bad for the sport of the golf. Perhaps I should rephrase that. This narrative that “Patrick Reed is an emblem of American golf and, although you may not like him, his Masters win is good for the game so deal with it,” is misguided. This is not to say

We are less than three weeks away from the NFL Draft getting underway, and my Cleveland Browns have the first overall pick. Now that they’ve traded DeShone Kizer, Cody Kessler and Kevin Hogan, with Tyrod Taylor and Drew Stanton coming in on the flip side, it’s clear the Browns are set on a fresh start in

With the NFL draft getting ever-closer, we’ve already talked about a couple of prospects in one of the most interesting quarterback classes in recent memory. In February I wrote about Josh Allen, a prospect with elite upside that could make him a superstar in the right situation, but the kind of accuracy concerns that make

While everyone tuned into the whirlwind of Elite Eight contests and lamented the destruction of their brackets over the weekend, Bubba Watson quietly secured his 11th career win on the PGA Tour and second career World Golf Championships (WGC) title at the WGC-Dell Match Play. It was Watson’s second win on tour this season, after

My email address is [email protected] It’s listed at the bottom of this story, but I figured I’d put it at the beginning of the article to make it easier for you should you want to send me hate mail. Why? Because I’m about to say something bad about Sister Jean. Well, not Sister Jean herself

College basketball’s postseason is in full swing. The upsets have been constant. The energy has been high, and the games have been airing constantly since the bracket was released two Sundays ago. Naturally, I’m talking about the National Invitational Tournament (NIT). Teams from across the country snubbed from the Big Dance have now entered the
