Six months have never gone by so fast. It seems like just yesterday it was Opening Day with hope abounding for all 30 clubs. It never lasts, of course. As always, there have been over and underachievers, and a season that figured to be unpredictable as any coming off a shortened 60-game 2020 season has

We are already two weeks into the NFL season, and already a plethora of storylines have happened. Whether it is Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson’s early struggles or Mahomes losing his first ever September game to Lamar Jackson, this season is already shaping up to be one for the memory books. With the season starting,

Last week I wrote about the crazy opening weekend: The Titans’ crazy game against the Cardinals, the Browns’ great showing against the Chiefs, the Saints rolling the Packers and the Steelers locking down the Bills. I think I did pretty well. The Titans’ offense bounced back against the Seattle Seahawks, and the Browns seem to

Bennett Miller’s quintessential baseball film “Moneyball” remains one of the most honest looks about transformative thinking and cognitive biases in the realm of sports. Peter Brand, Jonah Hill’s wonderfully depicted assistant to Billy Beane, places the narrative under this lens throughout the film. But perhaps most definitively, through his anti-establishment viewpoint among a group of

Notre Dame has felt like a program on the brink of elite status for years. They are one of the winningest over the past four years, with 10-win seasons in every campaign since 2017. The Irish have appeared in two Playoffs, beaten No. 1 Clemson at home, and effectively stormed all the way back from

Week 1 of the NFL season was, to put it mildly, chaotic. The Arizona Cardinals beat the Tennesse Titans in Nashville 38-13 in what was a stunning upset. The Texans (the team assumed to be the worst in the NFL) beat their divisional foes, the Jacksonville Jaguars 37-21. The Saints trounced the Green Bay Packers

Heading into the 2021 season, most Notre Dame fans knew there were two capable quarterbacks on the roster in Jack Coan and Tyler Buchner. What we didn’t know, though, was that the Irish would need to play both quarterbacks to win games. That was more than apparent on Saturday’s game against Toledo, with both Buchner

With the first full week of college football in the books, it’s time to make some predictions for the season ahead. 1. Georgia and Alabama will make the CFP After Georgia’s victory over Clemson this past weekend, the Bulldogs are in a great position to make the College Football Playoffs even if they were to

Of all the rookies, on all the teams in the NFL, there was no better match for the Patriots than Mac Jones. (Yes I’m making the Casablanca reference but that’s because it’s also a Gilmore Girls reference and that’s the one that matters—anyway, moving on.) I will admit, when Bill Belichick picked him, I don’t

I would consider myself to be someone who has a finger on the pulse of the NFL. I spend a good amount of my free time reading about football news, watching press conferences and listening to podcasts. So, when I finished up my 9:30 a.m. class at 10:15 a.m. and looked down at my phone
