I contemplated the meaning of life, the disappointment I put my fellow degenerates through, and if this column should even continue. Who am I kidding?

    Friday Degenerate Board – 12/9/16

    Lesson learned, don’t bet against the Lions. I bet against them to win the NFC North, and bet a bit on the Saints to win straight up last week. The Eagles are the exact opposite – the Eagles are bad. It should have been expected in Carson Wentz’s rookie season, but their hot start and […]

    An open letter to Kevin Garnett

    Dear Kevin Garnett, I didn’t know what to think when I heard the news on Friday. You know, the news that you would be retiring from the NBA after 21 seasons. I was sad and disappointed that one of my favorite players would be hanging them up. I still don’t understand why you have to […]

    Author’s note: For this article I will be speaking in regards to college football , but the same message applies in all sports. Refs get a bad rap. Every sports fan here can probably remember a game when they felt their favorite team was slighted by a bad call. A bad call so erroneous that […]
