In honor of his legacy and to remember the legend, let's take a deep dive into the legacy of Bill Russell and answer the question: How good was Bill Russell, really?

NFL Week One/TNF Week 2 Breakdown and NFL Week 1 Power Rankings

Image
       The earth is round, the grass is green, and NFL Week One is always the craziest of the season. 2022 Week One was less crazy than it was actually disappointing. There were injuries, blowouts, and low-score messes. Like the fall for students like me, the first few weeks are a mess before we get our business, for lack of a better word, together. With that being said, there was still a lot to take away from the sixteen Week One matchups and a Thursday night slop fest. Thursday Night Football Buffalo Bills 31 (1-0) @ Los Angeles Rams 10 (0-1) For the Bills, this was a revenge game. Not against the Rams, but against the narrative that they wouldn’t have gone all the way if they had beat Kansas City. This was a message to those who expect normal Buffalo failure this year. That message is that the Bills are legit. Allen, Diggs, and Davis carried the offense, and that defense is no joke. Jordans Phillips and Poyer were phenomenal and I’m not sure if there’s a weak ...

Rising from the Darkness Retreat: The 24-25 NBA Season Round-Up

Image
Hello, old friend. Much like Zach Lowe and Joel Embiid, it’s been a while since I’ve talked or written about basketball here. While I’ve been watching the games and keeping up regularly with the NBA and all of the results, narratives, trades, and news, I have been silent in the long-form writing that I’ve become so accustomed to in the last few years.  Well, it is time to get back in the ring and write not only this piece - some thoughts on the NBA - but my playoff preview, releasing tomorrow. In the meantime, I wanted to make my awards predictions and talk about some of the things that I missed out on while I was gone. Let’s hope I haven’t lost my fastball. What’s going on with my Celtics? I have to start with spewing all of my thoughts on the Celtics onto this blank Google Doc before I can discuss anything else regarding the NBA. The East’s two seed, the “best starting five in the NBA”, and the most well-rounded team in the league has had quite an interesting year. In my eyes, it...

An NBA Finals Roundup and Draft Preview

Image
            It’s been a few days since the conclusion of the NBA Finals and after having a few days to get out all the rage, I’m still upset. Yet, I’m still satisfied. That feeling of suspense, then letdown, then disappointment, and sadness is what basketball is all about. Basketball, more than any other sport is a game of emotions. After one of the most entertaining playoffs in recent history, I am only left with my emotions. In this piece, I’ll give my takes from the Finals and look ahead to Thursday’s NBA Draft.  Loves and Mehs from the NBA Finals Love: Andrew Wiggins Once again, I have found myself praising Andrew Wiggins. I’ll say it bluntly that he is the reason that the Golden State Warriors are champions . Not Steph, not Klay, certainly not Jordan Poole or Draymond Green, but Andrew Wiggins. His defense on Jayson Tatum (injured, but still effective) was key and alongside his standout performances in games four and five, he was undeniable...
