The NFL offers two things that every sport should aspire to: hope for every fanbase and night-in, night-out competition. How do college football and the NBA stack up in these two areas?
Week One of the college football season is complete and it’s time to examine the margins for Anthony Richardson, NC State-East Carolina, North Carolina-Appalachian State, Iowa-SDSU, and Florida State-LSU.

Change is an inevitable part of life—projecting the depth and direction of that change is hard and at times, impossible.

This is a reading of “Unclipped Strings,” an essay written by Chris Rawle about a passionate, lifelong exploration of the music of Bob Dylan. The full text can be found here: https://www.chrisrawle.com/unclipped-strings/
I have a deep, abiding respect for people who are unafraid to be what they want to be. Bob Dylan is a shining example and with football season nearly upon us, many teams are trying to mirror his approach. How do you find and solidify your identity?
College football is a sport that revolves around cycles of power. Nebraska, Florida State, Miami, USC, and Texas were great until they weren’t. The sport has recently been dominated by Alabama, Georgia, Ohio State, Clemson, and Oklahoma. Who has potential to fall and who can rise to replace them?
“Quarterbacks fail in the NFL, sure. But more often they are failed.” How many things need to align in order for a quarterback to find success? Referenced in todays show: https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/orgFuorCksb
Preseason camps have begun and NFL teams are trying to discern what is real and what is not. Through that lens, we examine Ja’Marr Chase, Romeo Doubs, Mitch Trubisky, Tua Tagovailoa, and Aaron Rodgers.
The known, the unknown, and why we love what we love.
The search for superstar quarterbacks is fast, furious, and never-ending. What is the perceived value of those QBs who are competent, but not stars?

The passing game has never been important in football. With that understanding, how much value are NFL teams placing on the wide receiver position?
The Utah Jazz are committed to a full-scale teardown. Is the path forward for Utah energizing or demoralizing?
