The 2021 Pac-12 football season ended to some with a bang and to others with a whimper, depending on how you look at it. Some might consider Oregon’s 10-2 finish and North division win as a success, but others could be disappointed that a team ranked as high as number 3 in the CFP pollContinue reading “Jayden de Laura’s Case for Pac-12 Player of the Year”
Seahawks’ Offseason Plan
It feels like the Seattle Seahawks’ 2021 season came crashing down with their 17-0 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. It wasn’t just because they lost, it was the way they lost. The offense looked inept, despite Russell Wilson being back under center. The defense showed up for the game but has struggledContinue reading “Seahawks’ Offseason Plan”
NFL Award Predictions
We have officially hit the halfway point of the NFL season with week nine in the rearview mirror. Although some teams have played nine games and others have played eight, we have hit the 50 percent mark of this new 18-week NFL season.

UFC 268 Reactions
I’ve been to Madison Square Garden. Not for a game or anything, unfortunately, just for a tour but it was still memorable. The concourse of the legendary arena has a timeline with every day of the year and the most notable occurrence inside MSG on that day. Massive boxing matches, historical Knicks’ moments, and evenContinue reading “UFC 268 Reactions”
UFC 267 reactions
On a card with two huge title fights, who would have thought that it was the ascension of future title contenders that stole the show at UFC 267? That’s not to say the main and co-main events were not incredible, they were, but my main takeaway was that there were a lot of guys fightingContinue reading “UFC 267 reactions”
Trick-or-Treating for Pro Athletes
Halloween is a very fun time of year. You get to dress up and walk around collecting candy (or at least you used to back when you were at a socially acceptable age to trick-or-treat). One of my favorite things to do during this time of year is to compare the Halloween candy you mayContinue reading “Trick-or-Treating for Pro Athletes”
Kraken Observations from a Burgeoning Hockey Fan
Note: this was wirtten before the Kraken’s 6-1 loss to the Flyers so let’s all just pretend that game did not happen I was finally able to watch my first Seattle Kraken game from start to finish over the weekend. And boy did I get lucky because it went into overtime so it was evenContinue reading “Kraken Observations from a Burgeoning Hockey Fan”
Playoff Implications of Alabama’s Loss
There are few things that can unite America. Things such as the Olympics, JFK, Morgan Freeman, and Ted Lasso can get the country all on the same page. Another item to add to that list is when the Alabama Crimson Tide loses a football game. There is something about seeing a juggernaut get toppled thatContinue reading “Playoff Implications of Alabama’s Loss”
MVP Candidates Through 4 Weeks
Normally we would be a quarter of the way through the NFL season right now. But with the addition of the 17th regular season game this year, we are technically only 23.5% of the way through the 2021 season. Despite being just short of that quarter-mark, it is not too early to start discussing theContinue reading “MVP Candidates Through 4 Weeks”
