Chicago State has a path to relevance, and all it took was one big win. Also: The redshirt/restraining order mess, Ohtani’s opt-out, Hoskins vs. Bellinger, and some miscellany.
Today’s Best Bets: Wednesday, December 13th
We’re trying something stupid; and we caught an FCS break.
Joe’s Notes: The Alexandria Wizards
A proposal to keep teams from fleeing to the suburbs. Also: the FSU “lawsuit,” the transfer lawsuit, and the Dodgers’ Sisyphean pursuit of triumph.
Stu’s Notes: Sean Stellato’s Existence, and What It Implies About Taylor Swift
The NFL might be rigged. Also: Heinous act draws NBA ejection, Draymond struck a man, Juwan Howard might’ve been set up, and Louisville is being Louisville.
Today’s Best Bets: Tuesday, December 12th
From Cedar Falls to Frisco.
Stu’s Notes: Great Athletes Who’ve Worn Number 99
Joe Kelly vs. Wayne Gretzky. Also: Tommy DeVito’s agent makes it weird, the Finns are fighting, the eggnog is located, and someone stole our poop.
Joe’s Notes: Does the NFL Have Too Many Good Teams?
It’s hard to win. Also: The Joe Barry question, more on Ohtani’s money, Oregon State & Washington State’s reign of terror, Connor Bedard, and the Bulls should trade Coby White.
Today’s Best Bets: Monday, December 11th
Monday Night Football, finding some college basketball, and a first crack at the latest FCS markets.
Stu’s Notes: Michigan, Michigan State, Scandal, and the NIT
“He can hit.” Also: Andy Enfield & LeBron James; Adam Silver & Lebron James; whether Zion needs Moriah Mills; Joe Kelly’s new number; and the Ottawa Senators.
Joe’s Notes: How Much Is a Shohei Ohtani Worth?
Why the deferred money matters, and why it doesn’t. Plus: Matt Entz leaves NDSU, a Joe Flacco Hall of Fame thought, and the Bulls’ long December.
Today’s Best Bets: Sunday, December 10th
Lions and Cougars.
Montana Held On, Brevin Easton Went Long: Where the FCS Quarterfinals Left Us
North Dakota State is routing teams again, and it was a windy day in Brookings.
Today’s Best Bets: Saturday, December 9th
The Holy War, NDSU’s trip to Vermillion, and the Army/Navy game.
Today’s Best Bets: Friday, December 8th
More free throws, and an FCS hedge.
Waiting for Joe Kelly: What if There Are Two Shohei Ohtanis?
Making it make sense.
