This past week the Houston Texans and star DE J.J. Watt agreed to mutually part ways. While this comes as a surprise to some, it means that Watt is now free to sign with whomever he wants. While our first inclination was the Steelers, we both changed our mind to a different team. We'll explain where and why believe its a a good fit.

We start off by remembering one of the best to ever step foot onto the baseball diamond. Of course we are talking about Hank Aaron, who sadly passed away on January 22nd. While on the field he was remembered by many for the number 755, he was so much more than that. We will do out best to put into words exactly how great Hank Aaron truly was.

For the second time in recent memory the BBWAA hasn't elected a player to the MLB hall of fame. Whatever your opinion of the BBWAA. Not voting in mass quantities of players each year isn't necessarily a bad thing, and we explain why.

Earlier this week MLB announced that former Red Sox & Cubs GM Theo Epstein would be joining the league office as a consultant to the commissioner for "on-field issues". We feel this is one of the better decisions MLB has made in a long time. If the guy to who helped break the curse for Boston & Chicago can't help, than no one can.

Just days after being reinstated by the NFL, troubled Seahawks receiver Josh Gordon was once again suspended indefinitely by the league for failing to satisfy the terms of his conditional reinstatement. This is the 6th suspension for Gordon in 9 years. Should the league try one more time, or cut ties with him for good?

After taking rookie QB Jalen Hurts out of Sunday nights game against the Washington Football Team, Eagles Head Coach Doug Pederson is getting criticism from just about everyone. It's not necessarily what he did that has caused the controversy. But the way he went about it. We give our take, and explain why no one should feel bad for the Giants.

In what might be one of the least talked about marches (or runs, I guess) toward a milestone, Titans RB Derrick Henry became just the 8th man ever to rush for 2,000 yards in a single season. How does Henry stack up against past 2K rushers. And is this an automatic Hall of Fame ticket.

With the recent firings of Adam Gase, Doug Marone, & Anthony Lynn, that brings the total number of NFL Head Coach openings to 6. We run through a list of candidates and discuss what may be some future coaches perfect pairing .
