29 OCT 2024 · Dan Riley discusses the Michigan Wolverines. With the Michigan Wolverines tenth in the Big Ten Conference, reaching the College Football Playoff is a pipe dream at this point. The team should focus on fundamentals and recruiting future talent. Truth is, this is a rebuilding year, no more no less. It’s a hard truth for everyone around the program to accept, but facts are facts.

22 OCT 2024 · Aidan Hutchinson's broken leg is another “bad break” for the Detroit Lions. Decades of bad management moves and heartbreak should have given way to success this season. Instead, the Lions defense has lost their best pass rusher, and it feels the season is over early.

19 OCT 2024 · The folding of the NBA’s G-League Ignite makes me wonder about the real value of farm teams in professional sports today. These developmental teams were supposed to be a pipeline for young talent, but more and more, it seems like the results just aren’t there. Too many players aren’t growing the way teams hoped, and this leaves both the players and the organizations in an awkward spot.
It also raises financial concerns—investing in players who don’t hit their potential can be costly. So, is it still worth it for pro leagues to support these farm systems, or have they outlived their usefulness?

8 OCT 2024 · Pete Rose's gambling was a troubling part of his competitive nature. He believed he could consistently pick winners better than others, and his mindset as an athlete made him more susceptible to the lure of betting. This underscores why sports and gambling are a risky mix.

1 OCT 2024 · Brett Favre’s admission that he has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s isn’t just a bad look for the NFL; it’ll have fallout far beyond that. College programs will bring in less money for athletic departments, costing other sports money. For that matter, other contact sports are in the same trouble as the NFL.

24 SEP 2024 · In the 1800s, football was extremely dangerous and difficult to defend. It was modeled after overseas games in which entire towns participated, and protective gear like helmets didn’t exist. As a result, players faced serious injuries and fatalities, with deaths occurring regularly. Thankfully, the sport has evolved, and many of these extreme risks have been mitigated over time.

17 SEP 2024 · Dan Riley recently looked into the infamous riot at the Palace and pointed out that NBA referee Tim Donaghy was officiating the game that night. While there's no evidence that Donaghy did anything improper during the match, the situation underscores broader concerns about the potential risks of sports betting. It’s a reminder of the complex issues surrounding the legalization of betting in sports.

10 SEP 2024 · Many football and hockey players hold negative feelings toward Aaron Hernandez due to the harmful stereotype he perpetuates about athletes in violent sports. Contrary to this image, most players lead respectful lives off the field and clearly distinguish between the game and real life. Moreover, following cases like OJ Simpson’s, athletes in such sports face heightened scrutiny from law enforcement, leaving them little choice but to act responsibly.

3 SEP 2024 · In 1989, Rick Telander of Sports Illustrated revealed a harsh reality: the concept of amateurism in college sports originated as a way for wealthy athletes to keep sports exclusive to their social class. The NCAA embraced this model because, in the 1800s, it was the only way to justify profit-driven college sports. This unsettling history is worth recalling the next time a college coach defends the NCAA's regulations.

27 AUG 2024 · In 2005, Midway Games introduced Blitz: The League, a video game that digs into the darker side of a fictional pro football team. It brought players to life by addressing their on-the-job risks, personal vices, and what happens off the field. It was a refreshing take on an industry that often acts like it’s above it all—reminding us that NFL players mess up just like the rest of us. The truth is, no amount of fame can change that. We're all human, after all.
