Nothing vaults you to the top of the Rookie of the Year conversation quite like dropping 34 on your new arch-rival in a winning effort. VJ Edgecombe’s NBA debut set a near impossible bar to reach on a nightly basis. He has since, understandably, cooled down a bit since dropping 75 points across his first […]

The Dallas Cowboys were maybe the hottest team in the NFC behind the Chicago Bears going into Week 14, and they just lost a major game to the Detroit Lions who now (again) look like they have a real shot to make the playoffs, and overall, the NFC is the “Wild West”, and perhaps the […]

Duke plays the Michigan State Spartans on Saturday and beyond that, the non-conference gauntlet is almost over, with majors Texas Tech next Saturday and Michigan in February (Duke also plays Lipscomb at home).

Facing Georgia, which has one of the better run defenses in the country, Alabama may have to rely on Simpson’s arm to move the ball downfield. Can Simpson find that consistency, […]

We saw in our previous piece that the Astros stood in 19th in MLB with a .651 team BPO. For those that haven’t read the first piece, we noted that bases per out is a more comprehensive way of looking at offense and pitching because it includes a base running element. Naturally, most catchers do […]

Now that’s more like it! If Carlsberg did away days then this is probably what they would look like. There really wasn’t much that could be criticised about this display, except if I’m really picky, I’d say we probably should have scored at least five, but maybe that performance is still to come. Prior to […]

There is not one individual reason why the New England Patriots transformed into one of the best teams in the NFL this season. Rather, their success is a complex mosaic whose parts include quarterback play, coaching, free agency success, player development, injury luck and schedule, among countless other factors. One that cannot be disregarded among […]

Cleveland Browns fans know the drill this time of year. Since “The Return” in 1999, the Browns franchise has been significantly better at being bad than any other team in the NFL. The current iteration has such a slim margin for error that the two-year rebuild process is more likely to take three to get […]

This week on the Five Heart Podcast, hosts Minnie and Greg will honestly probably NOT recap the Iowa game from last week, outside of discussing how it led to Defensive Coordinator John Butler being future-endeavored. I mean, 40-16 is absolutely abhorrent. You don’t want to discuss that. We don’t want to discuss that. But the […]

This has been an extremely weird season in the SEC. Preseason #1 Texas will probably end up missing the playoff. Perennial tomato can Vanderbilt won 10 games for the first time in school history, and their quarterback will probably get a Heisman ceremony invite.

During the 2015 season, the Minnesota Twins underwent a youth movement.

With the next wave of success seemingly positioned to […]
