Michael Wilbon Needs to Stop Making Up Stories

If you don’t know who Michael Wilbon is, consider yourself lucky. Wilbon was a longtime columnist who gained popularity on ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption, not to be confused with Barstool Sports’ Pardon My Take. Now Wilbon can be seen courtside at NBA games despite looking more like a basketball than actually knowing the game. Wilbon…

Buddy, I Was Wrong About The Tigers

As my title indicates, I was wrong about LSU. After LSU centerfielder Giovanni DiGiamoco hit a walkoff single to defeat Central Connecticut State, I fired off a text that has aged quite poorly. Rather than let anyone hold it over my head, allow me to expose myself, not in the Jeffrey Toobin sense, but more…

LeBron James Could Have Played in the NFL

It’s been well-documented that LeBron James could’ve more than held his own in the NFL if he chose to go that route. In an interview with the Athletic recently, James revealed that he actually received invitations from the Dallas Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks to try out during the NBA lockout in 2011. James is confident that he would’ve made either team if he…

Nado’s Notions: Bowl Edition

Season record: 36-32-1 Last week: 1-4 (USC -3, USC/Oregon over 62.5, Oklahoma -5.5, Tennessee +14, Alabama -17) Well, I ended the season on a sour note thanks in large part to USC’s ineptitude in the Pac 12 Championship. The Trojans fell to Oregon 31-24 in a messy affair. My only win came by a narrow…

Nado’s Notions: Week 11

Season record: 26-17-1 Last week: 1-3 (Miami/Virginia Tech over 67, Michigan State +7.5, Boston College +13.5, Wisconsin -4) Ouch. A week after going 5-0, I fell flat on my face. It was not a good week for me, but it was even worse for the state of Michigan. Michigan and Michigan State were outscored a…

Nado’s Notions: Week 3

Season record: 3-3 Last week: 2-2 (Pittsburgh -21.5, Georgia State +17, Notre Dame -25.5, Texas State/ULM over 62) Another .500 week, but the SEC returns to action this week.

Nado’s Notions: Week 2

Season record: 1-1 Last week: 1-1 (Notre Dame -20, Georgia Tech +12.5) So-so start to the season. Notre Dame came up short on covering, beating Duke 27-14. However, Georgia Tech won outright. On to week 2. Syracuse Orange (0-1) at Pittsburgh Panthers (1-0) | September 19 | 11:00 AM CT | Heinz Field Line: Pittsburgh…
