Fantasy Football Week 3 Rankings: How to handle Mike Davis, Wayne Gallman, Cam Newton, and more

TS Episode: Fantasy Football Fiasco

I've never seen anything quite like the injury situation around the NFL in Week 2, and I've been doing this Fantasy football thing for a decade now. Injuries happen every week, but we lost at least 10 potential Fantasy contributors in one week, including the top two picks in most drafts in Christian McCaffrey and Saquon Barkley. That's going to make this week's waiver wire one of the busiest ever as everyone scrambles to find replacements, and it's going to make figuring…

Sun Belt over Big 12, Notre Dame in the ACC and more from college football's Week 2

TS Episode: College Football Craziness

Nick Saban spent the second Saturday in September coaching a scrimmage, then talking to the media through an Internet connection about a game that's still two weeks away. Dabo Swinney checked in with ESPN's College GameDay using FaceTime on his cell phone -- which, inexplicably, he held, arm outstretched, the whole time -- from his team's training room. Ed Orgeron spent the first Saturday that resembled anything close to real college football doing -- OK, we're just going to assume the coach was elbow-deep in some crawfish. At least that would have offered…

The case for all 32 NFL teams to make Super Bowl LV in the 2020 season, from the Jags to Chiefs

TS Episode: Will Your Team Win the Super Bowl?

In advance of a 2020 NFL season in which anything and everything appears to be on the table, it only seems right to put together our annual preview of how each of the league's 32 teams could win the Super Bowl. It might seem wild when last year's winner wasn't exactly an upset, of course, but the 49ers went from a 4-12 season with the second-worst record in football all the way to within a play or two of glory. Here's what we wrote then: "The 49ers are probably the best…

Coaches' push for Big Ten football in 2020 looks like a Hail Mary

TS Episode: Bad News for the Big Ten

The cries initially came swiftly. Fans grumbled, media members moaned, players groused and parents protested. The Big Ten’s Aug. 11 decision to postpone the football season indefinitely was met with a tide of negative reaction. In the weeks since, it hasn’t receded. On Thursday, eight Nebraska players sued the conference. That came less than a week after the family members of several Big Ten players descended on the league’s headquarters and staged a rally. Now, there is a movement coming from within — led by coaches and athletic administrators — to consider starting…

Legendary Lineups: Best of the 80s

Now this is where my job starts to become difficult. The 1980s produced a plethora of talent, so it was hard to select only five for this list. But nonetheless, I did it, and I must say I am proud of this lineup. Here are my five best NBA players from the 1980s. It’s hard to talk about NBA basketball in the 80s without mentioning Ervin “Magic” Johnson. Magic was an integral part of the Lakers, and excelled at his role as leader of the team during the “showtime” era. The 6’9” product of Michigan State played a variety…
