• Hamlin Fights To Put Defibrillators In Schools
    Dec 24 2024


    In life, you may have no choice but to use something awful that happened to you to protect others from a similar fate… or worse. Damar Hamlin is a perfect example: he’s using a terrible near-death experience to help pass legislation for kids whose heart health is endangered. It is an ideal example for the rest of us, and a comfort for parents scared for their kids’ safety in school.

  • Blame Both Teams for Fight After Michigan-OSU Game
    Dec 10 2024

    Nobody’s “the good guy” in the spat after Saturday’s Michigan game: planting a flag was a boorish thing to do for a mediocre team like Michigan. Ryan Day failed to teach his players discipline, and the police didn’t handle the situation so well either. Everyone is back to square one this offseason.

  • Jets’ Future Trade Rodgers for Draft Picks
    Nov 26 2024


    The New York Jets season is over with their 3-8 record, and the team needs to remember the Cowboys became a dynasty trading their only offensive weapon. It's a sad truth, but trading Arron Rodgers in exchange for multiple picks is the only way the Jets can improve the franchise’s future.

  • 2024 Election and the Danger of Unrealistic Optimism
    Nov 19 2024

    The sobering reality of the 2024 election reflects the deeply ingrained culture of unrealistic optimism in American society. On one side, conservatives championed the rags-to-riches narrative, while liberals promoted the flawed ideals of the “self-esteem movement.” Unless we rethink this mindset, the consequences could be dire in the years ahead.

  • Firing the Head Coach Won't Save the Saints' Season
    Nov 12 2024

    The Saints can’t expect to turn their season around just by firing their coach. In the NFL, teams practice their playbook in the spring and summer. It’s impossible to expect a team to change its offensive and defensive strategies by halfway through the season.

  • Jack Tuttle’s Exit NFL Careers Need Rethinking
    Nov 5 2024

    Quarterback Jack Tuttle's decision to retire from college football should serve as a wake-up call for NFL players. The risks in the NFL are far beyond what you’d find in sports like golf, basketball, or baseball, where the most minor injuries might involve a hangnail. In football, there’s no guarantee of good health after retirement. Knowing when to step away can make the difference between a livable future and one dominated by pain and recovery.

    Oct 29 2024

    Dan Riley discusses the Michigan Wolverines. With the Michigan Wolverines tenth in the Big Ten Conference, reaching the College Football Playoff is a pipe dream at this point. The team should focus on fundamentals and recruiting future talent. Truth is, this is a rebuilding year, no more no less. It’s a hard truth for everyone around the program to accept, but facts are facts.
