The 2023 NSCC is happening right now in Chicago. I was there on Thursday, and the crowd was robust, and dealers were talking about good sales. Trust me, if it was slow, they would be the first to tell you. This show is easily the biggest they've ever had and

This is the second report from camp. Read the first report too, there's a lot in there. I'll be talking about the defensive backs, running backs, punters, and offensive linemen. Mekhi Becton - He didn't work as many reps as some of his teammates but he was out there. He looked

I've been to some training camps in my day. I went to Long Island when I lived there, and now New Jersey. I saw Brett Favre, Joe Namath, and now Aaron Rodgers. The buzz for this season is tremendous. The amount of merch the New York Jets is selling is

The Mets have no ace on the staff. Their plans to have Max Scherzer fill that role with the departure of Jacob deGrom didn’t happen. Justin Verlander isn’t what he used to be. Both are still effective to a degree, but the rest of the league doesn’t fear them, and

Lenni Hameenaho is a center who is all the overboard as far as rankings go in the 2023 NHL Draft. He’s 6’1” and around 185 pounds and he plays a solid all-around game. What’s interesting is all the different rankings for this player. Here are my thoughts about him having
