Going into Week 9, it felt like I had a solid feel for the NFL season. The Seattle Seahawks and Tampa Bay Buccaneers were the top-tier teams in the NFC. The AFC had the Kansas City Chiefs and the Pittsburgh Steelers as their two top-tier teams. However, coming out of Week 9, I feel awfully

I know what you’re thinking. What in the world could Maria Leontaras have to say about sports? Maria, who says all runners look the same because they all could never be her? Maria, who completed almost two months of intensive summer gym classes in high school so she wouldn’t have to pretend to play sports

Although COVID-19 has turned the schedule upside-down, we’ve more or less hit the halfway point of the NFL season, with the trade deadline having passed on Tuesday. As such, I’ll offer up my midseason NFL playoff predictions, calling each division, as well as wildcard slots in each league. And, for the loyal readers who make

After eight weeks of NFL football, it is quite apparent to any football fan that the NFC East is the worst division in football. The Philadelphia Eagles have fallen backwards into first place with a record of 3-4-1, and with the rest of the division in shambles, it appears as if the Eagles will be

After the first four games of the NFL season, I had wanted to do a quarter season awards show, but as I looked over the data, I realized that it was simply too early in the year to do so. So much could change through the remaining three-quarters of the season, that it was too

Billy Beane once famously told “Moneyball” author Michael Lewis, “My s— doesn’t work in the playoffs. My job is to get us to the playoffs. Whatever happens after that is f—ing luck.” Beane, who is well known for both his profanity-laced diatribes and his cost-cutting, inefficiency-finding moves as the general manager of the Oakland A’s,

Can you believe it?! The NFL season is already at its halfway point. In a season many thought would be impossible to play during the COVID-19 pandemic, here we are. It is now time to evaluate who my favorites are to win the various NFL awards with the halfway mark. Today, I will be breaking

It’s getting to be that time. The time when sports fans shift their focus away from baseball and football to the greatest game God ever bestowed upon His green Earth: basketball. If you want to know how much I love this game, I can (and probably will at some point) write a quasi-Sports Authority/love letter

In an incredibly close game, the Pittsburgh Steelers beat the Tennessee Titans 27-24 to stay unbeaten in the NFL. This is now the 6th time that two teams who were both 5-0 or better played in the Super Bowl era. The winner in the first five matchups all went onto the Super Bowl, boding well

The Miami Dolphins didn’t play on Sunday — they had their season bye Week 7 — yet somehow, they were still one of the major storylines heading into the weekend. The reason? Brian Flores and the Dolphins organization announced they would bench starting QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, (or as I call him, Fitzmagic) and start rookie
