It was all fun and games to poke fun at Arthur Smith while he was coaching the Atlanta Falcons and mismanaging Bijan Robinson’s workload, losing to the one-win Carolina Panthers, or running five-wide empty sets where his players made mind-boggling mistakes.
Russell Wilson has made a name for himself not only as a Super Bowl- winning quarterback but also as a masterful yet cringeworthy marketing machine. From his weird Tik Tok videos to this flat out bizarre Subway commercial for his trademarked “Dangerwich” sub, he has cornered the market on corny.
At this time last year, the Steelers were banking on quarterback Kenny Pickett to build on the positives from his rookie season. With that in mind, coach Mike Tomlin and the organization decided to keep Matt Canada as the offensive coordinator which turned out to be a disaster.
The Pittsburgh Pirates (34-37) host the Cincinnati Reds (34-37) in the first of a three-game series. All eyes will be on Pirates rookie sensation Paul Skenes as he looks to remain undefeated (3-0 with a 2.43 ERA and 46 strikeouts in 33 1/3 innings) in his seventh start of the season. This could prove to be a pivotal NL Central series as both teams look to break away from the jumbled division and Wild Card standings.
The Minnesota Timberwolves aim to maintain their playoff momentum following a sweep of the Phoenix Suns and consecutive victories in Denver during the first two games. The Wolves beat the defending champion Nuggets 106-80 in Game 2 to go up 2-0 in the series.
This is about as good as it gets for a second round series. While many predicted the Denver Nuggets and Minnesota Timberwolves would face each other in the playoffs, it was late season stumbles from both teams that allowed Oklahoma City to win the division, leading to this semifinal’s matchup.
It may seem crazy to the younger generation that fans get so worked up for a player that has +14000 odds (DraftKings) to win his sixth green jacket. No matter what the odds, a generation of fans are hoping for one last miracle victory just like we had in 2019. Woods name is synonymous with the greatest golf tournament that’s ever existed, and we will cherish every moment we can get.
The Golden Eagles survived against Colorado, defeating them 81-77 in their last game. They have won five of their last six games including the first-round defeat of Western Kentucky. Marquette is one of the most balanced teams in the tournament and with the spread at -7 they are a heavy favorite to move on.
With the Huskies favored by 11 points, the oddsmakers have penciled them into the Elite 8. It’s time to break down this matchup and see if San Diego St. can conjure up the same magic from last year, and not only cover the spread, but win the game outright and advance.
