Brandon Aubrey is going to be a rich man, and reset the kicker market. When, and how much, are the only questions.

Plus, new and exciting UFL rules to keep spring football awesome, and predicting NBA Award winners as the eligibility thresholds throw wrenches in everyone's plans!

If you're gonna do it, you gotta hide it at least a little bit. We're talking about the art of tanking, and one man's plan to quash it!

Plus, it's not just respect or admiration that I feel for Mike Tirico- it's downright reverence. The insane schedule only he could pull off, and my personal broadcaster Mt. Rushmore!

Bears’ New Home?

"Sam Richard Darnold " is a Super Bowl winner. An RB and a kicker were the best players on the field. 3+ quarters of shutout. #dealwithit. Recapping Super Bowl LX!

Plus, age is just a number, even if the number is 43. Welcome

back to Detroit, and get ready to throw 200 innings, Justin Verlander! (They'll probably need it).

Not Josh Allen. Not Lamar. Not Joey B. Sam Darnold or Drake "Drake Maye" Maye are going to win the Super Bowl. Let's predict it all for Super Bowl LX!

Plus, the TIGERS signed a big free agent? Skubal and Valdez might be nasty.

Please, make it stop. The NBA trade deadline noise is deafening, and one its biggest stars is at the very center (no pun intended).

Plus, no gold jacket the first time around for Bill Belichick, and my wish list of sports that I want to see in the Olympics someday!

I like money as much as the next guy, and sure, winning it can be more fun than earning it. But some of these bettors, regular people and athletes alike, are failing at the cost-benefit analysis.

Plus, Bo Bichette, Cody Bellinger, and Kyle Tucker have signed HEFTY free agent deals- who's overpaid, and who might actually be a great value buy?

Ok, that was the best Wild Card weekend, and I really don't want to hear otherwise. Can the Divisional live up to that standard?

Nolan Arenado and Alex Bregman are on the move, their pockets are heavy- it is a good time to be a third baseman right now! More MASSIVE MLB trades and free agency chatter soon!
