However, sometimes this trash-talking can be taken too far and over the past couple of days we have two prime examples of guys not thinking before they open their mouths. Reggie Evans and Chris Culliver are two men that people who follow sports might be looking at in a different way today as opposed to if they were asked about them a week ago. Evans, a starting forward for the now Brooklyn Nets, discounted the Miami Heat’s championship during … Continued
Thursday night was a must win for the Iowa men’s basketball team. For a squad that has NCAA Tournament aspirations come March, a loss on Thursday would have virtually eliminated the Hawkeyes from that conversation.

The fans of the Bay Area cannot believe their eyes. Historically they are one of the most doomed teams … Continued
Jeremy Meyer examines why we gravitate towards our favorite players, then take it personally when they leave town without seeking reconciliation
With the release of the substate pairings by the IHSAA, the 48 teams in Iowa’s largest class — 4A— learned the road they will need to travel to arrive in Des Moines for the state tournament. With still a few weeks remaining in the regular season, much is still determined, but here are my initial thoughts on each of the eight substates: Substate 1: Council Bluffs Jefferson, Council Bluffs Lincoln, Lewis Central, Sioux City East, Sioux City North, Sioux City West In no other substate does the likely final have the local meaning as in this one. Save for a … Continued
