he aftershocks of the Luka Dončić trade are still being felt, primarily on the Dallas Mavericks side of things. With every elite performance Dončić puts up with the Los Angeles Lakers, Mavericks fans can only sit and watch still astonished by the fact that their front office traded away a 26-year-old superstar for a return that’s already looking like spoiled goods. Between the injuries that have ravaged the Mavericks roster, and every public comment general manager Nico Harrison and new team owner Patrick Dumont make, there’s been no reprieve for Mavericks fans, who are the ones to feel most sorry…

As a result, many fans are expecting him to take a big step forward in 2025 and help the Florida Gators get competitive again in the SEC. However, there…

Byers has an intimate knowledge of wrestling, and he’s over-the-moon thrilled by Penn State’s historic achievements under Coach Cael Sanderson. Although he’s careful to compliment opposing wrestlers, the man known as “Ironhead” emanates an unforgettable roar whenever a Nittany Lion executes a winning move. With the NCAA Wrestling Championships about to take place in Philadelphia—and the Lions expected to win their 12th team title out of the last 14 competitions—I expect to hear that roar frequently. Each year, I enjoy the chance to interview Ironhead between the Big Ten and NCAA championships. His predictions are spot-on, and his perspective about…

Yes, Kentucky has hit heights under Pope which would have seemed nearly unimaginable when he was called on to gather an impromptu roster as the replacement to John Calipari. Wins over Duke, Gonzaga, two victories over Tennessee, a win over Florida, and a 5-0 record against the teams…
