    NFL Week 10 Preview

    I’m doing things a little differently this week. The love of my life, Tawsha, is home sick from work and offered to help me write my preview. I’ll be adding her hot takes on top of mine this week, plus I’ll even let her pick gifs. Tawsha does a Top 40 morning radio show, loves […]

    This Week in the Group of Five – 11/9/16

    Writing pithy comments about football games that already happened, with everything else going on in the world today just doesn’t seem right, so let’s get to it with an eye to the future instead of the past. Group of Five Rankings 5. San Diego State Aztecs Sorry, Tulsa, but SDSU is getting stronger and is […]

    5 Questions with Barry Grandgenett: Hawkeye Football Edition

    This is what I hope to be the first of many installments of “5 Questions with Barry Grandgenett,” and I wanted to start out with something a bit less controversial than Big 12 Refs or the current political scene – how about Hawkeye football?!

    NFL Week 9 Preview

    While I was on my death bed last week with the traditional fall cold, I was unable to give you my hot takes on the Seahawks/Cardinals tie that happened on Sunday Night Football. Luckily for all of us, there was ANOTHER tie in the NFL this past week. The damn Redskins tied with the Bengals. […]

    This week in the Group of Five – 11/2/16

    We’re more than halfway through the insanity. Its coming to the serious part of the college football season – the first round of College Football Playoff Committee rankings came out this week, it’s the thick of conference play, and we’re at the point in the season when the great teams separate themselves from the rest.

    Fixing the NFL’s ratings problem

This conversation happened a while back while Aaron Rodgers was still kind of crapping the bed and while the Vikings were the king of the world.  Hope that helps give you some context, enjoy.

    RECAP: The Game of a Lifetime

    The Astounding Fantasy Practitioner: Week 8

    We’ve entered the doldrums of the NFL fantasy season. You spend those first few weeks obsessing over all kinds of details. What sort of fertilizer are they using at Gillette Stadium this year? Was Zach Ertz able to get in an Epsom salt bath the night before the game? Does Aaron Rodgers still hate Jeff […]
