Alabama Slammer!!

On January 7th, the No. 1 Notre Dame Fighting Irish took on the No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide for a chance to win the NCAA BCS National Title. This matchup was not only the biggest game of the college football season but one that was 25 years in the making. The last time these two teams faced off was way back in 1987! Despite all the hype, this big game turned out to be a big blow out. It was missed tackle after missed tackle while Alabama kept feeding their star running back Eddy Lacey, who ran for 140 yards and also had two touchdowns for the game. The Fighting Irish could not get anything going offensively either, and when they could move the ball, it was too late. The Crimson Tide made Notre Dame look like Nadda Dame! Even off the field, Alabama made a splash with the cameras focusing on Alabama Quarterback AJ Mcarron’s model-type girlfriend in the stands. That team clearly ruled the night with a final score of Alabama 42 – Notre Dame 14. This is Head Coach Nick Saban’s third title with Alabama in four years. If there was a Mount Rushmore for college football coaches, he’d certainly be on it, and rightfully so. With their constant depth at every position, The Crimson Tide will continue to be a major force in college football. Notre Dame, on the other hand? They need to hit the drawing board to see how they can become more of an elite team and gain experience from a Bowl game of this magnitude. All I can say now is……ROLL TIDE!

Brandon Moreno Confirms Pre-Existing Knee Injury Entering UFC 283

Friday, January 27, 2023

Fighters entering fights with undisclosed injuries is nothing new, but their opponents aren’t always aware of the injury so soon. In the opening round of UFC 283, Brandon Moreno was attacked by Deiveson Figueiredo on a compromised knee. In the first quadrilogy, Moreno defeated Figueiredo by 2-1-1 doctor stoppage in the third round. The fight was generally controlled by Moreno, but he found himself threatened by Figueiredo’s heel hook late in Round 1. Despite its name, the heel hook has devastating effects on knee ligaments.

Why Pro Athletes Get Paid So Much Money

Thursday, January 26, 2023

The highest-paid neurosurgeon in the United States makes around $500,000 a year. Their education takes between 14 to 16 years, which means they are well into their 20s when they start working, and they probably won’t be making anywhere near $500,000 until they reach their forties. The average salary of a professional soccer player is 3 million a year, and they’ll be making that sum before their mid-twenties. Is this gap unfair? After all, professional athletes don’t save lives as surgeons do. They don’t have to study for decades, get into school debt, or spend any sleepless nights during residency. The reason behind this difference is a combination of factors, and as with most things in the modern economic system, we have to take supply and demand into consideration.

Warriors Star Stephen Curry Ejected from Game for Throwing Mouthguard

Thursday, January 26, 2023

The Golden State Warriors made their 122-120 comeback Wednesday night against the Memphis Grizzlies, despite the odds being stacked against them after the team’s star Stephen Curry was ejected late in the game’s fourth quarter. The ejection–a rarity for Curry–occurred after Curry saw Jordan Poole take a shot and miss it instead of passing it to him. Curry then clapped his hands at Poole after what Curry later said was an ill-advised 3-point attempt by his teammate. As he was running back on defense, Curry, in a moment of frustration, took out his mouthguard and threw it on the court.

Joe Burrow leads Bengals back to Super Bowl, Eagles join them

Wednesday, January 25, 2023

Last weekend, the early heat in the playoff game predictions gradually subsided. The weekend wasn’t great, but it wasn’t terrible either.
This matchup features two strong teams with strong run games and fronts on defense. No matter how many offensive playmakers are on the field, it will be determined up front. Last week’s rout of the Giants by the Eagles was impressive, but the 49ers’ victory over Dallas at home was close. In that contest, the San Francisco offense had some issues, but Brock Purdy overcame them to earn his sixth consecutive victory as a starter.
