By Chris Molicki Last season, Northern Kentucky finished a dominant regular season run with a disappointing defeat to Cleveland St. in the Horizon League tournament. The Norse were the class of the conference and looked to do damage in the NCAA tournament, but that reality never materialized. This season, they remain the team to beat [...]

There’s nothing more exhilarating than filling out a bracket to choose which team you think is going to win a tournament. We do it every year during college basketball tournament time, we do it every four years when the FIFA World Cup rolls around and every few months we do it to support The Brunch [...]

One year ago, the Vegas Golden Knights didn’t have anyone on their roster. There wasn’t a coach. There was just one owner, Bill Foley, who was just looking to stay competitive through the season. Even NHL fans didn’t even want a team in Las Vegas. A 500-1 shot to win the Stanley Cup and a [...]

It’s tough enough when you have no name running backs carrying the ball — Orleans Darkwa, Wayne Gallman, Paul Perkins, etc — and you incompetent linemen [...]
