Forget Suspending Aaron Donald, The NFL Needs to End Joint Practices Before Someone Gets Hurt
We need to talk about the NFL trend of joint practices. If you’ve ever been to an NFL practice, and I’ve participated in hundreds and hundreds, you know what they’re about. Competition and physicality. And if you’re in the preseason, you can throw ‘desperation’ in as a descriptor as well. And what happens when you’re […]
A Thank You From a Sports Content Creator to Kevin Durant and the Dysfunctional Brooklyn Nets
I want to thank Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets. The months between the end of the NBA Finals and the start of NFL preseason are truly the dog days of summer if you’re in the business of producing or discussing sports content. This isn’t a knock against baseball, but even commissioner Rob Manfred will […]

We need to talk about Tyler Huntley and Lamar Jackson. Look, I’ve been on the Huntley train for over a year. I’m not the conductor. On my Pac-12 Apostles Podcast I used to balk at how special Utah fans claimed Huntley was as both a passer and a leader. But if I can hop on […]

Wrighster Reacts: Serena Williams is the GOAT and Shouldn’t Compare Herself to Tom Brady
We need to talk about is the competitive fire that has Serena Williams looking at a 45-year old Tom Brady and feeling like her career is in any way less than complete. As a spectator and consumer of women’s sports, and a fan of excellence, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel like […]
Reaction to the Mar-A-Lago FBI Raid Shows People Only ‘Back the Blue’ When it Suits Them
We need to talk about the FBI raid on Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Home. Yesterday the FBI made a surprise visit to the 45th President’s South Florida home, reportedly looking for classified documents that the Trump administration failed to turn over. It’s an unbelievable and unprecedented event for many reasons, who would have ever thought that […]

George Wrighster Looks At The ESPN FPI, Says ‘Get Ready For A Wide Open College Football Season’
We need to talk about the upcoming college football season. Has there ever been a year where things felt this unpredictable and wide open?
