Amidst word ESPN will acquire NFL Media, we forget the league will acquire an ownership stake in the network. This raises questions about ESPN’s objectivity going forward. Both The Worldwide Leader in Sports and the NFL will be looked at differently by sportswriters and fans going forward…and can only blame themselves if disaster hits because of this acquisition.

With Caitlin Clark turning down the chance to appear during the NBA’s all-star weekend, and the league to get rid of the game for good. There are no stakes, so why would players risk blowing out a knee playing in it? It ruins the NBA’s product to keep it, getting rid of the all-star game is in the best interest of the NBA.

The Lions won't be playing on Super Sunday, and it's clear why: a lack of roster depth held them back this season. Building a stronger bench is crucial to avoiding similar letdowns next year. Without it, the Dan Campbell era risks being remembered solely as a major disappointment.

Universities adopted amateur standards nearly 200 years ago to appeal to the wealthy parents of affluent students. Today, many 'student-athletes' come from families with modest or middle-class means. This shift makes NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) deals a much-needed and welcome development in college football and basketball.

The tragic passing of Greg Gumbel reminded me how much we take announcers for granted. Case in point: John Madden and Pat Summerall.Dan remembers hearing Gumbel calling Super Bowl 35, and Summerall and Madden on Sundays. Madden was the comic relief, Summerall the straight man.
Dan will never forget these three men as the “soundtracks “ of fall Sundays. I’ll treasure hearing them for the rest of my life.

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.

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.

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.

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.
