Picking a Super Bowl champ at the start of each season is a very inexact science. Over the past 10 predictions I have done, only one time did I pick the correct champion, and that was my own 2012 Baltimore Ravens. There are chalk ones, like correctly predicting the Seahawks-Patriots in 2014, and outside-the-box ones

One of my annual traditions is to pick every game of the NFL schedule and make predictions from Week 1 all the way to the Super Bowl. I did that last Saturday for two hours, and then the news of Colts quarterback Andrew Luck’s retirement sent shock waves through the sports universe (and destroyed my

Back in elementary school, I frequently read a book about the Baltimore Ravens and one line always stood out. In discussing Baltimore’s tradition of stifling defenses, it described the Ravens’ unit as something to the effect of “tougher a brick wall” and “stingier than cobwebs.” I saw those imposing Ravens defenses for four glorious years

Back in 1995, animated classic Toy Story explored the premise of how the relationship between children and their toys can define a childhood. And as the trailblazing movie rose to historic relevance and wide acclaim, it also demonstrated the potential for movies themselves to be a central aspect of one’s childhood. For me, it was

Kawhi. Kyrie. Kemba. Klay. There’s a common denominator between these superstar players (and not only that their names all start with “K”)- all are free agents that will shape the NBA landscape this summer. Whether it’s discussion about a player’s legacy, or the chance for a fresh start, or the chase for championships, there are

We can officially say it now- Jeremy Lin is an NBA champion. Yes, he watched the entirety of Game Six from his seat on the Toronto bench, but he’s still adding a ring to his memorable career resume. Aside from Lin getting the championship he deserved, this year’s NBA Finals was filled with wild storylines

In most stories, there is a pit so deep that the protagonist of the story sees all hope as being lost. My college process was no different. And on one February evening, I had reached the exact point that I made it my goal to avoid. Yet there I was, late at night, on the
