One of the positional strengths of this subpar defense was the Gators linebackers. Prior to some injuries suffered, this position group was having a solid 2023 season. Now having the chance to get back to full health, this group should help lead the defense. Last season, the Gators’ defense as a whole struggled with tackling and physicality. Time and time again, the Gators couldn’t bring players down or were simply getting out hustled. Despite the loss of veteran Mannie Nunnery to the transfer portal, this group is riddled with potential. With the perfect mix of veterans and rising stars, the rotation will be quite deep. Adding in a heralded transfer from South Carolina, the future is bright for this group. If the Gators wish to have a successful defense, the linebacker room will have to lead the way physically.

Chicago, IL

Chicago Cubs rookie left-hander Shota Imanaga is putting up eye popping stats to start his major league career. Saturday’s win over the Pittsburgh Pirates was Imanaga’s ninth start of 2024. He pitched seven scoreless innings, while giving up just four hits and striking out seven. Just another day at the office for the new fan favorite in Chicago. While his offense didn’t give him the run support to credit him with the win, he still made MLB history.

Pittsburgh, PA

The Pittsburgh Steelers have yet to record a losing season under head coach Mike Tomlin, but the team could still fire him following the 2024 season. The 2023 Steelers were not nearly as good as their record, as the team went 9-2 in one-score games, a result that is completely unsustainable over a large sample. Rumors swirled during the early stages of the offseason that Tomlin could leave the team voluntarily, but the head coach will return for his 17th – and possibly final – season with the Steelers.

Lexington, KY

The Kentucky Wildcats are closing in on filling their roster. They have two scholarships for next season, and coach Mark Pope plans to use all 13. “We’re at 10 scholarships right now. I have two really, really important pieces that I have to add. The 13th scholarship is a floating piece,” Pope told Chris Fisher of 247Sports before UK signing Fairleigh Dickinson transfer forward Ansley Almonor. “It could be a place for a young player. It could be a place for a senior player who is going to take a redshirt year. It could be a place for a project. It could be a place for a high-risk guy. We’re really dialed in on filling these last two spots. It is a priority right now.”

Vanishing Georgia

The Central of Georgia Railroad built this depot circa 1898 when they extended their tracks beyond Covington to handle all the business generated by the mills in Porterdale. It’s a bit of an unusual form, and since it’s been restored in recent years, I don’t know if the extension originally featured a loading platform or […]

Denver, CO

Two days ago, the Colorado Rockies shut out their division rival San Diego Padres 8-0. That win marked Colorado’s sweep of San Diego. It also extended the Rockies’ winning streak to an MLB-best seven games as they head off to San Francisco. The Rockies’ win streak started during the previous series against the Giants, in which Colorado won the final game of that three-game series. Colorado is currently the hottest team in MLB, and here’s how they got there.

I first encountered a rat one evening in a Target parking lot. When my daughter told me it was a rat, I went straight to the car and she went to get a photo of it since she's never seen one before. I assure you it wasn't little.

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

Cleveland, OH

All eyes are on the Cleveland Cavaliers ahead of the offseason. After battling past the Orlando Magic in the First Round, the Cavs met their match when they advanced in the 2024 NBA Playoffs. Facing a terrific Boston Celtics squad, Cleveland’s hopes of reaching the NBA Finals were crushed. With Jarrett Allen missing the entire series and Donovan Mitchell sidelined for their final two games, the Cavs only managed one win in the semifinals.

Cats of Kansas City

If you've never heard that term before, "zoomies," A.K.A. "frenetic random action periods," is just when cats and dogs get excited and run around for no particular reason. In my house, zoomies are common after litter box visits, an excellent reason for celebration.
