The NBA got exciting these last 24 hours. Too exciting. Also: Will Wade is free, Tom Rinaldi’s a weasel, Shane Waldron is doomed, and The Henry Ford is not what you might think.
Joe’s Notes: Calling Jim Harbaugh a Liar
Jim Harbaugh might imminently be the coach of the Chargers. Also: The transfer cycle, the Iowa gambling twist, and putting numbers on an NFL ref conspiracy.
Stu’s Notes: DePaul Is a Waste
We deserve more out of Chicago’s college basketball team. Also: What fans should do about Blake Hinson, what Caitlin Clark should do about fans, and Joe Kelly made a Hall of Fame.
Joe’s Notes: Brady/Mahomes, Manning/Allen, and…Belichick/Reid?
We’re doing all the comparisons. Also: The Ravens might be it, Josh Hader’s contract is risky but it had to be, and Novak Djokovic has some funky odds.
Today’s Best Bets: Monday, January 22nd
Two Monday night moneylines, plus some heavy NFL futures hedging.

One college basketball pick, and some bonus NFL futures after getting good results yesterday.
Today’s Best Bets: Friday, January 19th
This week’s NFL futures, and a little Friday night college basketball.
Stu’s Notes: Is Kliff Kingsbury the Secret to Understanding Caleb Williams?
Plus: Last NITe, toNITe, the Chicago White Sox, and Novak Djokovic has a cold.
Joe’s Notes: Mike McCarthy Is Not a Bad Coach
Firing McCarthy would be like hiring Rodney Terry. Also: What each remaining team needs to do to make this year a success, and Alabama’s talent flow.
Stu’s Notes: This College Basketball Season Just Hit Its Stride
NC State’s hijinks, Tylor Perry’s bid for back-to-back NIT MVP’s, and Georgetown’s NIT contention lead into lunar speculation and an idea for a Joel Embiid-centric financial market.
Stu’s Notes: Michigan Needs to Make Jim Harbaugh Know He’s Loved
Michigan’s effort to retain a champion, plus: Ohio State is losing too fast, Texas can’t read, Bulls fans got the wrong Jerry, and we can’t not love Dan Campbell.
Joe’s Notes: What Did Ohio State See in Ross Bjork?
Ohio State’s new athletic director is a surprising choice. Also: Taulia Tagovailoa got screwed, Wild Card Weekend reactions, and Audi Crooks steps onto the national radar.
Today’s Best Bets: Friday, January 12th
This week’s NFL futures, and a college basketball play chosen by the tail between our legs.
Joe’s Notes: Wild Card Weekend Desperation Rankings
Who needs this Super Bowl the most, and…Washington’s DeBoer replacement, what FSU did, load management and baseball, and the Australian Open.
Stu’s Notes: An NIT Renaissance in Spokane?
Also: Arch Manning Bust Watch, Matthew Stafford vs. the moon, home-field by latitude, and Oregon likes cheese.
Joe’s Notes: Who’s Next for Alabama?
A congratulation to Nick Saban, then: speculation on his replacement, speculation on the new college football power structure, bracketology thoughts, and the Cubs’ big day.
Stu’s Notes: NIT or NOT
Who’s helping their case? Also: James Franklin & Alabama, a defense of Shaka Smart, and Rodgers vs. Kimmel…possibly at a détente.
Today’s Best Bets: Sunday, January 7th
Big Ten basketball, and a late game in Week 18.
