How the SEC Became the Alabama Conference
It was the night of January 9, 2012. Alabama was atop the college football world once again after a systematic dismantling of previously unbeaten and number one LSU. That season, culminating with a title matchup of two SEC West powers for the national championship, was the high point of the Southeastern Conference’s reign over college football.

Time to Panic in Cincinnati
If they haven’t already, it appears to be time to hit the panic button in Cincinnati. After years of overall mediocrity and a few above average seasons sprinkled it, this Bengals team has come crashing down to earth these last two weeks and it doesn’t look like they’ll be getting back up.

Warren Sapp Said What About Myles Garret?
NFL HOF’er Warren Sapp has been all over the headlines on this football-less Sunday, but the story actually has little to do with him. As you may have heard by now, he said that he doesn’t think that the likely No. 1 overall pick Myles Garrett is worthy of going first overall. He stated that he thinks the former Texas A&M standout is “lazy” and only makes “4 plays a game.” Whether or not these claims can be substantiated or whether you and I believe them are one thing, but the source of the claims are another.

How Deserving Is OBJ of the Highest Paid Title?
As of today the highest paid player in the NFL is newly signed Oakland Raiders quarter back Derick Carr at 25 million per year on average. Number 2 and 3 on the list are also quarter backs — Andrew Luck, and Drew Brees come in just short at 24.6 million per year and 24.3 million. So the question has to be asked, how big of a leap would it be for OBJ to gain the top spot as a wide receiver considering it is a quarter back driven league? The answer would be massive and even then that may be an understatement.

The Underrated Signings of the NFL’s March Madness
The NFL new year is, season after season, one of the wildest time periods in all of sports. During the middle of the first full week of March each year, one of the craziest and maddest events kicks off and with it, the transaction wire gets lit up like a Christmas tree.

The Pro Bowl Is What It Is, and That’s Okay
All-Star games in professional sports are some of the most fun weeks or weekends in sports. For many leagues it’s a break from the long, grinding season and a chance for the best of the best to come together and show their stuff.

Romo Roulette: The QB’s Top Potential Destinations
The veteran QB is still technically a member of the Dallas Cowboys, but those days are all but numbered at this point. The 14-year vet still has something left in the tank and with the Dak Prescott-era already started in Dallas, it’s time for this Cowboy to move on to greener pastures.

Marshawn Lynch: “You Know Why I’m Here” — to Play for the Oakland Raiders?
Several years ago, around 2010, and in a playoff game versus the New Orleans Saints, the world shook and the LEGEND OF BEASTMODE was forever engraved in our minds. Not that “Beastmode” — Marshawn Lynch to others — wasn’t already one hell of a running back already. But this run made him somewhat legendary — like Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl.
