UCL Draw Was Rough On London

The UEFA Champions League group stage draw took place this past week.  The pinnacle of club football will begin anew on September 12th.   I for one think this could be one of the strongest conglomeration of 32 teams the competition has had before.  For the first time, the English Premier League will have five… Continue reading UCL Draw Was Rough On London

The Dodgers Frighten Me

This season for the Los Angeles Dodgers has been magical.  Every move they’ve made has come up aces.  Their late inning heroics are unparalleled in recent times.  They are a frightening team to see on your upcoming schedule.  The Dodgers could very well be the first team since the 2001 Mariners to break the 110… Continue reading The Dodgers Frighten Me

Let The Bagley/Porter Tankapalooza Begin

The NBA has a tanking problem.  It is something the league combats on a yearly basis.  But rather than most people who try to find solutions to the issue, I’ve embraced it.  There is no sense in fighting it any longer.  There are too many blue chippers worth throwing a season away for these days.… Continue reading Let The Bagley/Porter Tankapalooza Begin

Giancarlo Stanton Keeps Going Boom

Two years ago, I posited that Giancarlo Stanton was arguably having the greatest power season in MLB history.  He promptly got hurt and l looked foolish (a hardly unfamiliar feeling).  But here we are again in 2017 and the now-healthy Stanton is hitting bombs left and right.  He’s homered in six straight games.  He has… Continue reading Giancarlo Stanton Keeps Going Boom

Blaise Matuidi Is The Bargain Of The Summer

Transfer spending in Europe is out of control.  The fees paid for even the most marginal of players were astronomical this summer.  Manchester City broke the defender price scale.  Club and world record fees fell with great regularity.  But from the ashes of countless Euros, dollars, and pounds being lit on fire, Juventus emerges with… Continue reading Blaise Matuidi Is The Bargain Of The Summer

MLB September Call-Ups That Must Happen

The baseball season is grinding towards the playoffs.  But while October will only see two handfuls of teams play, the month prior will see rosters expand.  September is when most clubs will see their favorite prospects trotted out for the first time.  Even a few will make playoff rosters and play a huge role in… Continue reading MLB September Call-Ups That Must Happen

Can The Pelicans Make It Work?

Much is being made of this tumultuous NBA offseason, and rightfully so.  But today I want to focus on a team that got a jump on all this craziness last season.  The New Orleans Pelicans weren’t going anywhere.  They were a club wasting a transcendent prime with no real direction.  But then they decided to… Continue reading Can The Pelicans Make It Work?

EPL Predictions That’ll Surely Go Awry

The English Premier League season is nearly upon us.  This weekend is one I’ve been waiting for since the last kick of last season.  Sure, the footballing calendar never ends.  But with the Premier League being the one that indoctrinated me to European football as a whole, the start of their season is extra special… Continue reading EPL Predictions That’ll Surely Go Awry
