We all saw the A.J Brwon trade coming, but Myles Garrett to the Rams took us ALL by surprise. Did the Rams just win the Super Bowl with this deal?

8 losses in 2 seasons - as many as Saban's last 5 years, a culture in flux, the team does NOTHING well, and got DESTROYED by a Saban disciple in the CFP. I truly don't understand why DeBoer got this extension... ...plus, how do you explain him getting a longer extension than the coach who humiliated him en route to WINNING the Natty??? Let's talk about it...

The 2026 NFL Draft is fast approaching, and presumptive #1 overall pick has made the unprecedented announcement that he won't be in attendance. Instead of asking your opinion on this decision, let me ask you this: If it were you in Mendoza's shoes, would you rather attend the Draft in person, or watch at home with your family and friends?

The NBA has a tanking problem…and fines clearly aren’t fixing it. In this video, I break down why tanking continues to hurt fans, damage competitive integrity, and weaken the NBA product — and I present a bold, controversial solution: 👉 If a team is caught tanking…they lose their first-round pick. 👉 That pick gets redistributed to the rest of the league. No more fines. No more slaps on the wrist...

MLB and its players just agreed to a MAJOR deal with an AI avatar company called Genies to develop AI player avatars to interact with fans. Not much is known about this deal yet, but what does this mean for baseball going forward? Cool feature or sign of things to come?

After a CRAZY NBA Trade Deadline, LeBron and the Lakers are headed for divorce, and the Cavs clear space by acquiring James Harden. Does this make an LBJ-Cavaliers farewell reunion possible?

Shedeur Sanders was added as a Pro Bowl replacement — and the numbers make absolutely no sense. Replacing Super Bowl quarterback Drake Maye, Sanders finished the season with more interceptions than touchdowns, one of the lowest QBRs in the NFL, and ranked near the bottom of every advanced quarterback metric. So how does a player with 7 TDs, 10 INTs, an 18.9 QBR, and a sub-70 passer rating become a...

The Pittsburgh Steelers are reportedly expected to hire Mike McCarthy as their next head coach — and honestly, this move makes very little sense. After decades of stability under Chuck Noll, Bill Cowher, and Mike Tomlin, Pittsburgh suddenly appears ready to pivot toward a short-term solution with a 62-year-old coach and a 42-year-old quarterback in Aaron Rodgers. In this video, Roman Janeiro of Em...

The Buffalo Bills stunned the NFL by firing head coach Sean McDermott after another playoff exit — despite years of consistency, division titles, and Josh Allen’s MVP-level play. Was this the right move… or a massive overreaction? In this video, Roman Janeiro breaks down why the Bills made the decision, why it’s surprising, and who Buffalo should target as their next head coach. We dive into top c...

The college football coaching carousel is in full swing - especially in the SEC. LSU and Florida have found their new coaches, and I have thoughts!

It's no wonder why Tulane head coach Jon Sumrall is a top candidate for major head coaching vacancies. He had some choice words about his team, and I LOVED it.

Yes, I know that the WWE is all for show, but who okayed that Cam Skattebo shoving stunt??? Let's talk about it...

Lane Kiffin has been linked to both LSU and Florida in their coaching searches. It may make sense on paper for those schools to pursue Kiffin, but it feels like it would be a step back for the Ole Miss coach. Let's talk about it...

Brian Snitker has stepped down at the helm at the Atlanta Braves, and long-time bench coach Walt Weiss will officially take over. Do you like the safe choice, or were you hoping for a fresh face? Let's talk about it...

Nico Harrison has been fired as Dallas Mavericks GM. When you're the architect of the worst trade in NBA history and have a history of incompetence, it's only a matter of time...

Emmanuel Clase and Luis Ortiz are facing 20-65 years in prison for their role in the ongoing gambling scandal. A 27-year-old at the top of his game threw it all away for a few thousand dollars in kickbacks. I have thoughts...

Brian Daboll becomes the first coach firing of 2025, after a 20-40-1 tenure with the Giants. This move was long overdue, but will Jaxson Dart suffer from the early coaching change? Let's talk about it...

The Arizona Cardinals have announced that Jacoby Brissett will be the starting QB for the foreseeable future. Does this signify the end of Kyler Murray's time in the NFL? Let's talk about it...

The Panthers won 5 games all of last season. They've already equaled that total in 2025, and in the thick of the NFC playoff hunt. Dave Canales deserves Coach of the Year consideration. Let's talk about it...

The Los Angeles Dodgers outlasted the Toronto Blue Jays to win an incredible 2025 World Series, but two things stuck out to me as the difference - experience and missed opportunities. Let's talk about it...

Did the Steelers defense expose Indianapolis? Did they give up too much for Sauce Gardner? Let's talk about it...

The NFL regular season is finally here, and Week 1 is in the books. So many observations and questions after the first set of games. Let's get into it!

The 49ers return in 2025 mostly healthy and with the easiest schedule in the NFL, thanks to a last place finish in 2024. Will this help them return to dominance? Or are the Rams as good as everyone says?

Michael Penix Jr. has the Falcons emerging as a contender in the South, but will Baker Mayfield put up another resurgent season to lead the Buccaneers to their 5th consecutive division crown?

With Saturday's loss to unranked Florida State, Kalen DeBoer is now 9-5 at Alabama, and things aren't trending in the right direction. It has media and fans using the word 'buyout'. Is time running out for DeBoer in Tuscaloosa?
