The transition from college football to the NFL can be overwhelmingly difficult for many of the players that are given a chance by NFL teams. For former Missouri defensive end Michael Sam, the co-SEC defensive player of the year, and soon-to-be the first openly gay NFL player ever, the college to NFL transition could be more difficult. Last week, Michael Sam announced that he was gay. This comes months before the NFL Draft, where Sam is expected to be a mid-round draft pick. Since the announcement, Sam has received support from his teammates at Missouri, and some of the Tiger … Continued
Lebron James is better than you, and he knows it. Earlier this week James was quoted saying he’d be one of the top 4 players to ever play the game. He also mentioned Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson when talking about the metaphorical “Mount Rushmore” of basketball. All of this talk “coincidentally” has come around the time MVP race talks have been firing up between Kevin Durant and Lebron himself. Lebron doesn’t have anything to prove, necessarily, but he still wants it. He wants it all. If anyone questions is confidence, they can take a look at what he … Continued

Let’s not kid ourselves, Michael Sam coming out as gay before the NFL draft is huge. In the aftermath of Sam’s earth shaking revelation, many were quick to applaud Sam for his courage to come out. Others thought that he should have just stayed quiet and go about his business under the radar. Finally, there are those that thought Sam was just looking for some publicity and it does not mean anything. But it does, Sam’s coming out does more for the progress of gay athletes in sports than any other figure in this movement. In the past year, Jason … Continued

After a long winter, with hopefully only a few more weeks of cold weather, Major League Baseball is beginning. Pitchers and catchers report first, followed by position players. Namely, Chicago Cubs pitchers and catchers report February 13, and position players report on the 18th. One of the biggest things of spring training is seeing potential prospects that may make the roster out of spring training, or even get called up during the year. Some of the Cubs’ biggest prospects are shortstop Javier Baez, third baseman Kris Bryant, outfielders Albert Almora and Jorge Soler, and C.J. Edwards, who came over in … Continued

For the past two seasons, the Iowa Hawkeyes basketball team has had numerous close losses. In many of those losses, they were winning for much of the game, and couldn’t hold on. They had similar games this past week against Michigan State and Illinois. On Tuesday, the Hawkeyes had yet another chance to get a signature victory, and they couldn’t quite pull it off, losing 71-69 in overtime despite leading for much of the second half. Then came Saturday’s game against a struggling Illinois team. Iowa needed a win to stay with Michigan and Michigan State (both 8-1) in the … Continued
