Zags give Gaels a Sweet Farewell To Spokane
Though a couple of mid-majors from small towns on the West Coast, Saint Mary’s & Gonzaga have become quite the giants . Over the last two decades they have come to blows in the WCC countless times, and sadly tonight was the last time in Spokane at the Kennel. Graham Ike's returned to lead the Zags to the 73-65 win. Yet again, this rivalry did not disappoint between the elite of the West. Gonzaga, without Braden Huff(sadly starting to think for the season), did get back th

Kraken Are NHL’s most Random Team…& I LOVE IT!
The Seattle Kraken’s roller-coaster season continues as they somehow still feel within reach of both the playoffs and the number one pick. The truest form of duality lives on in Climate Pledge Arena tonight. As we welcome in the Washington Capitals & Alexander Ovechkin , I can’t help but reminisce a bit on how I became a Krakhead. Growing up in AZ, hockey just wasn’t my number one, two, three, or even seventh choice. It wasn’t until the 2014 Olympics TJ Oshie game that my

THE WIZARDS ARE BUILDING SOMETHING MAGICAL
In case you've been living under a rock, the NBA had its first big trade of the year occur a couple of weeks ago. Actually, the ONLY trade to happen so far this season (praying for an eventful deadline). Trae Young, 4x All-Star point guard, was traded from the Atlanta Hawks to the Washington Wizards for CJ McCollum & Corey Kispert. Now this does show that the Hawks are pushing all their chips in on Jalen Johnson as their franchise player (fair after all, he is averaging 23/1

Witnessing Greatness: The Chef Donny Experience
It's not often we are lucky enough to witness greatness at its peak. Prime Michael Jordan in the 90s, Tom Brady's run with the Patriots, & Chef Donny on The Yak . It's coming to a point where you can't mention one without the other two, as they all fight for who is truly the GOAT of their sport. Some doubters were saying Chef was a one-hit wonder, or that 2025 was just a fluke year. Donny yet again continues to silence the naysayers in the back. Nick with another lead into

Josh Allen's Story Still To Be Written
Another mid-to-late January of agony for Josh Allen & the Buffalo Bills is upon us. Just when you thought there couldn’t be another way to see one of sports’ top athletes of all time have his heart ripped from his chest… a new level has been unlocked. For Allen, you can’t help but feel gutted whether you’re a Bills fan, a football fan, or just a casual observer. He is, across the board, one of the most likable yet scrutinized QBs of this generation. But today, instead, my que

My Case to Take Over Barstool Basketball
I am writing my official statement to GM Mark Titus , as well as owners Barstool Big Cat & Brandon Walker , that I am ready to take over the coaching position of Barstool Basketball .

Matt LaFleur Is Going To Get An Extension After Costing The Packers Another Season
What a past 72 hours for fans of the Green Bay Packers. All of it started on Saturday morning, when the report from Ian Rapaport surfaced that head coach Matt LaFleur was not coaching for his job on Saturday night in Chicago, as the Packers and Bears were scheduled to face off in the Wild Card round at Soldier Field.
