Lauren Bailey – Women’s Swimming
1. How did you first get into swimming? I first got into swimming when I was six years old. My older sister, Jessica, used to be a swimmer, so I just followed her footsteps into the sport. I’ve always loved swimming and how it felt to be in the water. 2. What’s going through your […]

NFL Week 12 Predictons
Howdy, folks. Hope you’re all enjoying the frigid weather before you scramble back to your (hopefully) much warmer homes for Thanksgiving. A great many of this week’s games appear one-sided upon first examination, but as we learned with the Rams and Broncos last week, every game is a trap game. Kansas City Chiefs at Oakland […]

The Rebound
I will admit, I was not a fan of DeMarcus Cousins in the past. In reality, I flat out disliked him. He was mean, short-tempered, played with a low basketball-IQ, made poor decisions, and was the furthest thing from a role model for his fellow players. Although he obviously had a significant amount of raw […]

Top three MLB Free Agents
This is a wonderful time on the baseball calendar. Until Feb. 14 (when pitchers and catchers report), we get to hear about how this player dropped 20 pounds and this player put on 20 pounds in all the right places and how this guy added a cutter and this guy is recommitting himself to plate […]

The Sanchize has come
On Monday, November 10, Mark Sanchez threw for over 300 yards and two touchdowns. In 2014. For the Philadelphia Eagles. What? It was an odd sight, and for good reason – Mark Sanchez was the joke of sports for an inordinately long time. We’ll do a quick run-through: the shirtless posing, the head scratching interceptions, […]
