Since the cancellation of sporting events due to COVID-19, we’ve had some admirable and some absolutely dreadful content (and some of both) produced in the sports world. That includes the NBA trying out an NBA 2K tournament and a HORSE competition, plus NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell showing off his dad bod. I want to thank

COVID-19 has affected a lot of things so far, and I constantly worry that college football will be affected come the fall. What if there’s no college football? What if there’s college football without fans? I think about these questions multiple times per day, and it’s scary to think about fall without Notre Dame football.

Dear Gronk, Rob, if I may What the heck, man? Sad doesn’t even begin to describe how I felt when you retired. You were my sister’s favorite player and the ability you had to get down the field for Tom Brady was unmatched by any offense in the league. To cite a few outstanding plays:

Spectators. Fanfare. It’s half of what makes sports awesome. The roar of the crowd, the gasps of anticipation — they all make sports worth watching. You have the diehard fans, the group that shows up to every single game, rain or snow. And then you have the celebrity fans –– some are bandwagoners and some

Death is always hard to stomach, and it should not take high-profile casualties in the sports world to make people realize the scope and severity of the current crisis we are living through. It is especially sobering, however, when a larger than life figure is taken from us suddenly. When models of strength and indomitable

Where would we be without adrenaline? We find it buried in the backseat of dusty, puberty-ridden school buses, or blaring on those trusted headphones that we’ve used since middle school. It reaches every corner of our sweaty locker rooms and, better yet, spilling into the arena lobbies with such volume that everyone knows we made

The NBA G League is the new kid on the block when it comes to minor league affiliates. Founded in 2001 as the National Basketball Development League (NBDL), the league comprised eight teams. In 2005 the league was called the NBA Development League or NBA D-League for short. Different to most major leagues, drawing comparisons

I decided to be a little different in this article and tell you all about a horse that would probably never get the time of day. If you know me, you know I love to read. I’m one of those people who would rather read a book than watch TV. You can imagine I have

Alongside those rom-coms that we secretly hate to adore, sometimes I wonder if we have any valid reason to love people that we never had a chance to meet. While the score feels unbearably tough to settle — and I’ll leave it to the Viewpoint team to duke out — we nevertheless hold near and

It’s a bit weird to be thinking about sports now, isn’t it? I never thought I’d be typing that sentence but this is what it has come to. Sports have taken a back seat. In my eyes, throughout human history two things have remained consistent: sports and art. I think of the ancient gladiators and
