Nebraska versus Colorado may not reach the heights that Michigan versus Ohio State or Auburn versus Alabama do, but this is a rivalry that goes all the way back to 1898. There's no love lost between the Buffaloes and Cornhuskers.Add Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders, and this matchup was hot as fire last season. The Huskers traveled to Boulder to try to quell the early-season hype that surrounded Sanders and the Buffaloes. They left beat up after a 36-14 statement win by Colorado in front of a rowdy and reinvigorated home crowd. Now, head coach...

Former Clemson running back Will Shipley was a first-team All-American in 2022, but at least one expert doesn’t think he belongs on your fantasy team.Shipley was a third-round pick of the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2024 NFL Draft, essentially replacing Boston Scott who recently signed with the Los Angeles Rams. Shipley will see significantly less work as a rookie than veteran Saquon Barkley, which may not bode well for his fantasy value. As Fantasy Pros’ Mike Fanelli puts it, "Even if the superstar misses significant time, Shipley will split the backfield work with Kenneth Gainwell and lose all goal-line attempts to...

Javier Baez, what would you say...you do here?That's the question Detroit Tigers owner Christopher Ilitch should be asking the man once known as "El Mago."Either that, or "where's my $25 million?"It was no secret that former general manager Al Avila strapped Detroit to a terrible contract when he signed Baez to a six-year, $140 million contract in 2021. Baez was once arguably the hottest player in the game who earned the nickname comparing him to a magician, but his first two years in Detroit were more trick than treat. Now that he's fully settled into his new digs, "El Mago"...

After dispatching an injury-riddled Miami Heat team in five games and doing the same to a broken Cleveland Cavaliers roster, questions surround the Celtics. The current narrative in the media is that Boston is yet to be tested and that they could struggle against a fully healthy team motivated to knock them out of the playoffs. Even their former All-Star, Paul Pierce, is concerned regarding the Celtics' late-game capabilities. “They so good that they don’t have to be great for them to win,” Pierce said on a recent episode of "KG Certified." “We got so many good players, so many great players.

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.

It’s been nearly three years since Jeff Blashill was an NHL head coach, but his extended hiatus doesn’t seem to deter one team from possibly considering him for its head coach opening.According to Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, Blashill could be a leading candidate for the open head-coaching job with the San Jose Sharks — a team looking for a fresh voice after a league-worst 19-54-9 record in 2023 under former HC David Quinn.“I would like see Jeff Blashill get a second chance,” Friedman stated on his “32 Thoughts” podcast. “I would like to see what people learn after their first time...
