    Tough Rebuilding Year- Reality Check for Wolverines
    2024/10/29

    Dan Riley discusses the Michigan Wolverines. With the Michigan Wolverines tenth in the Big Ten Conference, reaching the College Football Playoff is a pipe dream at this point. The team should focus on fundamentals and recruiting future talent. Truth is, this is a rebuilding year, no more no less. It’s a hard truth for everyone around the program to accept, but facts are facts.

  • Broken leg another blow to a tortured franchise

    Broken leg another blow to a tortured franchise
    2024/10/22

    Aidan Hutchinson's broken leg is another “bad break” for the Detroit Lions. Decades of bad management moves and heartbreak should have given way to success this season. Instead, the Lions defense has lost their best pass rusher, and it feels the season is over early.

  • Are Farm Teams Still Worth the Investment

    Are Farm Teams Still Worth the Investment
    2024/10/19


    The folding of the NBA’s G-League Ignite makes me wonder about the real value of farm teams in professional sports today. These developmental teams were supposed to be a pipeline for young talent, but more and more, it seems like the results just aren’t there. Too many players aren’t growing the way teams hoped, and this leaves both the players and the organizations in an awkward spot.

    It also raises financial concerns—investing in players who don’t hit their potential can be costly. So, is it still worth it for pro leagues to support these farm systems, or have they outlived their usefulness?

    2024/10/08

    Pete Rose's gambling was a troubling part of his competitive nature. He believed he could consistently pick winners better than others, and his mindset as an athlete made him more susceptible to the lure of betting. This underscores why sports and gambling are a risky mix.

    Favre Parkinson’s diagnosis will have fallout
    2024/10/01

    Brett Favre’s admission that he has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s isn’t just a bad look for the NFL; it’ll have fallout far beyond that. College programs will bring in less money for athletic departments, costing other sports money. For that matter, other contact sports are in the same trouble as the NFL.

  • When Football was dangerous

    When Football was dangerous
    2024/09/24

    In the 1800s, football was extremely dangerous and difficult to defend. It was modeled after overseas games in which entire towns participated, and protective gear like helmets didn’t exist. As a result, players faced serious injuries and fatalities, with deaths occurring regularly. Thankfully, the sport has evolved, and many of these extreme risks have been mitigated over time.

  • Football and Hockey - More Than Just a Tough Image

    Football and Hockey - More Than Just a Tough Image
    2024/09/10

    Many football and hockey players hold negative feelings toward Aaron Hernandez due to the harmful stereotype he perpetuates about athletes in violent sports. Contrary to this image, most players lead respectful lives off the field and clearly distinguish between the game and real life. Moreover, following cases like OJ Simpson’s, athletes in such sports face heightened scrutiny from law enforcement, leaving them little choice but to act responsibly.
