After an extended break from positional rankings (thanks to my anthropology of touring culture class whatever that is) I’m back with my breakdown for the draft’s top defensive ends. Arguably the most talented position in the draft, outside of the top slot experts have been all over the place with their rankings and reasonably so….

The Greatest Athletes to Never Win a Championship
The list of professional athletes without rings is in one of the longest lists in the world. There are arguments every single day as to who the best athletes are without rings.

David Ortiz Solidifies Himself as One of the Greatest Humans to Ever Live
David Ortiz went undercover as a Lyft driver in Boston for an amazing video but I have a little problem with the video. My problem is HOW ON EARTH do these people not recognize him!!! It is not as though he is doing this stunt somewhere unfathomable to see him, he is driving around the…
The Top 15 Nicknames in Sports History
Nicknames have been intertwined with sports since the beginning of time it seems, going all the way back to when Ty Cobb aka ‘The Georgia Peach’ himself torched the base paths in Detroit. Whether it is a rhyme like Stan ‘The Man’ Musial, a simple “Mr. Hockey’ for Gordie Howe, or even a complicated label…
What Does It Mean To Choke?
Sometimes the N2K writers’ group text can be an interesting place. What started with our new writer, Mikey, bullying my school’s basketball team[1] turned into an all-out, all-writer-inclusive debate on what the definition of choking meant. To make a long story short, I don’t think choking and losing a big game when you’re the favorite…

Top Five Biggest Collapses in Sports History
Last night, NBA commissioner Adam Silver while presenting the Larry O’Brien Trophy to the Cavs mentioned that coming back to win the NBA Finals after being down 3-1 in games has never been done before.

Who Wins In An Eating Contest?
Sean and I were having a conversation yesterday about how I despise Pablo Sandoval. Sean preferred to use the word “disappointed” to describe his feelings, which, to be fair, is probably worse than disliking. Mainly, my reasoning is that he’s both out of shape in terms of baseball and out of shape in terms of,…
You Can Bet on What for Super Bowl 50?!?
Maybe outside of March Madness, the Super Bowl is the most gambled on sporting event in the United States. Gambling concepts like the “Workplace Squares” competition have made the Super Bowl become basically a national holiday and the annual installments of the big game account for the top 21 spots on the list of the…
