WORK IN PROGRESS! I’m not sure anyone would believe me that the stats that you WILL see are from June 1st if I didn’t get the blog post up on the right day, but I’m currently visiting family away from home without access to everything I need to get these posts done.

MLB Stat Leaders as of May 1st, 2024
Batting Leaders Batting Average (BA) We’re starting off in a list with an entirely new roster and they’re all neck and neck.

To say I’m excited is an understatement, and while every year isContinue reading “2024 NFL Mock Draft 2.0”

A Look into the 2024 NFL Playoff Contenders
AFC 1. Baltimore Ravens (13-4) Biggest Strength: Running to establish the run The amount of options that the Ravens have to do a single one thing is getting ridiculous.

Did the College Football Playoff Committee Get It Right?
So, just for context, I spent the majority of Sunday in the car and had a long drive home. As a result, I didn’t get to fire off my thoughts about the topic of the weekend as it was announced. We had one of the most interesting College Football Playoff Selection Sunday’s ever this weekend,Continue reading “Did the College Football Playoff Committee Get It Right?”
The Prodigal Son of Riverboat Ron
As a league, quarterback play was in it’s Golden Age in the mid 2010s, nearing 250 yards per game at its peak in 2015, but we’ve watched ourselves skid back down from those highs to become more mediocre and, dare I say, boring. In that same span of time, the Washington Re****ns, Football Team, andContinue reading “The Prodigal Son of Riverboat Ron”
WWE Crown Jewel 2023: Preview and Picks
It’s been a while since I’ve done a WWE PLV preview, but it feels necessary with Crown Jewel, which has become one of the bigger events on the WWE calendar.

A Giant Step Back.
By Billy Baldwin It is no surprise that I am a huge New York Football Giants fan. Through my blind loyalty to Daniel Jones on the podcast, to countless times defending Eli Manning and my franchise since 2011 when they were last great. I’ve been trying to think about how to attack this blog. HenceContinue reading “A Giant Step Back.”
Missing NFL Superstars
I find it difficult to think about positive things to write about every week, sorry about it. Maybe that says something about me? But realistically, if a player is performing well, you probably don’t need me to tell you that they’re doing it, but it’s the slumps, yips, and regressors that you won’t hear muchContinue reading “Missing NFL Superstars”
2023 MLB Stat Leaders
We’ve reached the end. I almost thought of not doing this one, since this is the most easily checkable in the future from a single Baseball Reference, but I’ve always been too excited to do these to stop before the end. Let’s start out with a stat that I haven’t tracked every month because itContinue reading “2023 MLB Stat Leaders”
MLB Final Week of Races
This is it. By the time next Wednesday rolls around, the regular season will be over, I’ll be putting out the final edition of monthly stat leaders, and the postseason will have already been underway, but what do standing in the way between us and a week with seemingly too much left undecided to wrapContinue reading “MLB Final Week of Races”
The Washington Who?
If you’ve come across our “Meet Our Team” page, you may have stumbled upon a peculiar fact that I’m here to clarify and confirm. I am, in fact, a Commanders fan.
