It’s the most wonderful time of the year. With the start of July, the floodgates of NBA free agency have been opened. With names like Kevin Durant, Kawhi Leonard and Klay Thompson all becoming unrestricted free agents, the contract frenzy has been thrilling — and it’s only been two days. KD, Kyrie Irving and DeAndre

Being a senior, I get a lot of question about what the future will look like. No joke — as I started writing this someone asked me what I’ll be doing after graduation. It’s a lot and honestly I’m not the biggest fan of discussing it. At the same time, there is much emphasis on

“If Dwayne Haskins, as an African American, goes to Duke and puts up those mediocre stats, seventh in the conference, he’s not drafted day one or day two.” I won’t mince words — it is a travesty that the New York Giants drafted Daniel Jones at No. 6 in the 2019 NFL Draft. I know

It’s no secret that college basketball is in the one-and-done era, pioneered by current Kentucky head coach John Calipari (henceforth addressed as “Coach Cal”) and since adopted by some of the most prominent basketball powerhouses. It’s also no secret that the one-and-done era comes with its casualties, the most obvious of which is the widely-accepted

It’s another year for the Washington Capitals. After their victory over the Vegas Golden Knights in last year’s historic Stanley Cup, many loyal fans found themselves underwhelmed by this regular season. Sure, they clinched the top spot in the Metropolitan League, but with the same amount of wins and one fewer loss than the New

Winning takes care of everything. As golf legend Tiger Woods hugged his son and parents following his win at the Masters on Saturday, that cringe-inducing 2013 Nike advertisement immediately flashed through my mind. To what degree was that true, and how does the average sports fan come to understand Tiger’s legacy — a legacy he’s

It took a heartfelt display of career reflection and nostalgia for Dirk Nowitzki to officially confirm what the basketball world has speculated all season: this past season was his last in a Mavericks uniform. The 7-foot, German-born Nowitzki rose from unknown foreign draft prospect to league MVP and NBA champion while revolutionizing the game with his

As the NBA regular season comes to a conclusion, I feel that now is a good time to reflect on this season and name who I believe deserves this year’s major awards. Without further ado, here we go. Defensive Player of the Year — Paul George, Oklahoma City Thunder Paul George is, in my opinion,

Pretending that I’m not disappointed by the outcome of Sunday’s national championship matchup between Notre Dame and Baylor would be pointless. But there were some truly great things to take away from the women’s Final Four weekend as a whole, and I’m choosing to focus on those. Muffet McGraw shows what it means to be a

Despite the fact that it’s reality television and not the Final Four, “The Bachelor” has all the elements of a sporting event — the ability to bring people together, viewers rooting for their favorite “players” and, most importantly, impressive as well as not-so-hot athletic feats. Though there have been Bachelor-related Sports Authorities written in the past,
