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, […]

Kailee Zornow – Women’s Soccer
1. How did you first get involved with soccer? When I was younger, I wanted to be just like my older brother. He played soccer and baseball, so I played soccer and baseball. I just so happened to fall in love with soccer, so when we were older and really had to commit to a […]

Week 10 NFL game predictions
Let’s be honest here. The fact that I called the Rams over the Niners, predicting the score within four total points of the actual score is pretty remarkable. If you placed a bet on that game on my advice, you’re probably an idiot, but also probably rich right now. Week 10 doesn’t have nearly as […]

The Rebound
“Wow” is all I can say about the beyond-impressive start to the Warriors’ season. Not only are they off to a 4-0 start, but they are looking fairly unstoppable. There were some questions raised in the off-season about the decision to release head coach Mark Jackson and bring in former three-point gunner Steve Kerr. I […]

Jennifer Enos – Women’s Swimming
1. How did you get involved with swimming? I did parent/infant swim classes when I was a baby, because my mom thought it was important for my brother and me to learn water safety. I really enjoyed being in the water, progressed through all the levels, and when I was about six, the instructor thought […]

On Sunday, October 26th, game five of the 2014 World Series took place in San Francisco, with the hometown Giants winning 5-0 behind a stellar pitching performance by ace Madison Bumgarner, taking a 3-2 series lead. Bumgarner’s complete game shutout has rightly deserved much attention, but what happened immediately before the game is also worth […]

Tavares, a native of the Dominican Republic, was driving with his girlfriend in his hometown of Puerto Plana when his car careened off the road and slammed into a tree. It was just […]
