Best Draft Picks to Fill the Seahawks’ Needs

Reading Time: 2 minutesLet’s start from the biggest need for the Seahawks: The pass rush. These are some good options to take at 27th overall: • Yetur Gross-Matos, EDGE, Penn State Long and rangy like a young Jason Pierre-Paul. Twice as many career tackles for loss (36.5) as sacks, so he is in the backfield. • A.J. Epenesa, DE, Iowa Tape shows a strong pass-rusher with 30.5 sacks over the last two seasons. High effort, good technique make his floor still worthy of a first-round pick. • Bradlee Anae, EDGE, Utah Three straight double-digit seasons in tackles for loss,...

Why the Panthers Should Trade Christian McCaffrey

Reading Time: 2 minutesChristian McCaffrey is, in my opinion, the best Running Back in football. He’s a great runner, an amazing pass catcher, an underrated blocker, and last year was arguably the whole Panthers offense. This past season, Christian had one of the best seasons for a Running Back ever, putting up 2392 scrimmage yards (1387 rushing, 1005 receiving) and 19 touchdowns. There’s no denying his playing ability, but paying a Running Back top dollar, especially when headed into a rebuild, is not the right decision for the long-term. Running Backs are the most replaceable position in football, and...

Though, with every rise in a sports teams’ success comes an eventual drop-off. As Brady...

The Best Athletes Turned Politicians

Reading Time: 3 minutesThe United States of America has two long standing constants. One being our political system — though often criticized, our republic has fared quite well compared to other nations — and the other being our sports. Legend has it that the first jersey swap happened between Aaron Burr and founding father Alexander Hamilton before their infamous duel, which resulted in the death of the New York lawyer and outspoken federalist.  But, while these events and people are mutually exclusive, what happens when an athlete joins the realm of politics? The list of athletes who have dabbled...

What’s Next For for the Panthers, Post-Rivera?

Reading Time: 3 minutesAs the Carolina Panthers’ playoff hopes have disappeared after a loss to the Atlanta Falcons, they now look ahead to a future that is mostly dependent on Cam Newton. More specifically, which team he plays for next season. Since Newton’s contract isn’t up until after the 2020-21 season, the only way the Carolina Panthers can keep rookie Kyle Allen at the helm is to trade Newton to a team like the Chicago Bears or the Detroit Lions, or pull a New Orleans Pelicans and say he is injured for the season even if he’s not –...
