With all the talk of the NBA playoffs, the NFL offseason and the ongoing MLB season, sometimes we forget that there are more important things in life than sports. About 10 days ago, former All-Pro tight end Greg Olsen released a series of tweets about his son TJ, and the fact that his heart was nearing its end. He needed a transplant sooner rather than later. TJ was born in 2012 with a congenital heart defect and had to undergo four heart surgeries, including three open-heart procedures to install a pacemaker. Well, if you were looking for some good news…
Yesterday, Duke University announced that Mike Krzyzewski, the man who is the winningest coach in Division I College Basketball history, will retire at the end of the 2021-22 season. The announcement comes two months after former North Carolina basketball coach Roy Williams announced his retirement. Coach K, as he is known in the college hoops world, has led Duke to five national championships in 41 seasons at the helm of the Duke basketball program. His five national titles are the second most, behind John Wooden who won 10 titles at UCLA. Not only did Krzyzewski command the Duke program, but…
Listen, I know there are many NFL experts out there and they all have a right to their own opinions. However, CBS Sports Senior Writer Pete Prisco’s list of his top 100 NFL players is all kinds of wrong, once you get past the initial top 10, which itself is seriously flawed. Now, I am a Cleveland Browns fan, and I am a little bit bias, but the fact that Baker Mayfield didn’t make the top-100 players in the NFL is a crime. Mayfield isn’t the only Browns player who didn’t make the top-100 that should have. John Johnson III,…
Everything was going great for the Cleveland Browns heading into the 2019 NFL season. They had a star in the making in second-year quarterback Baker Mayfield. They had also just acquired superstar Odell Beckham Jr. in a trade with the Giants. In the deal for Beckham, the Browns parted ways with versatile safety Jabrill Peppers and their first-round pick in the upcoming 2019 NFL Draft. Along with the offensive additions, they had hired head coach Freddie Kitchens after he did a great job with the offense at the end of the 2018 season. On the defensive side of the ball,…
The 2021 NFL Draft is in the books and camps around the league are taking place. How teams will look for this upcoming season is finally taking shape. Among the teams to have the best offseasons was the Cleveland Browns. Not only did Cleveland sign key players in the free agency, they also put together a strong draft class. Among the most intriguing draft picks was third-round wide receiver Anthony Schwartz out of Auburn. Head coach Kevin Stefanski loves to get the ball to his playmakers on offense. He does so in a lot of creative ways. Before anything else…
Remember about a month ago when the world was rioting after news of the reported “super league” in European soccer? Well, that super league seems to have fizzled out, but there is a new “league” the country is talking about. Enter the National Interscholastic Basketball Conference (NIBC). Apparently, elite high schools like IMG Academy and Montverde (Florida) were paying attention.
