Look, I understand my job each week in my quizzes is to educate, illuminate and entertain you (and occasionally frustrate you as you attempt to go 9-for-9). I'm definitely not here to bring you down, even in a memorial for those we lost in 2022. I look at it more as a celebration of their lives and hopefully give you something to further remember…

For the first time in nearly two months, the NFL betting schedule has a full roster of games in Week 15. There are no more byes, at least until after Week 18. At that time, two lucky teams (most likely Philadelphia and someone from the AFC) will be enjoying the coveted playoff bye. Most of the league will be on a bye until next September. The rest…

In the grand scheme of things, Sunday's Saints-Panthers game is meaningless when it comes to the playoff participants. However, many think it is a very important game for the home team.

Ohio is joining…

A spot in the College Football Playoff championship game will be on the line when the No. 2 Michigan Wolverines and the No. 3 TCU Horned Frogs collide in the 2022 Fiesta Bowl on Saturday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz.

It's supposed to be about 10 degrees, super windy and potentially snowy in Cleveland for the Christmas Eve matchup between the Saints and Browns. Does that favor one team or another? Will Nick Chubb run all over the Black and Gold, or will the defense make a stand, while Alvin Kamara and Taysom Hill have a field day? Also, what odds do we give…

Ohio will soon join more than half of U.S. states that have legalized sports gaming, most changing their laws in just the past couple of years.

Jake Paul, the Cleveland-born social media star turned professional boxer, is betting that millennial men like him are ready to plunge into legal online sports gaming.

The FBI and…

Can Andy Dalton do something…

So what is it? What's the real reason New Orleans Saints coach Dennis Allen is sticking with Andy Dalton at quarterback over Jameis Winston?

The New York Rangers traded Nils Lundkvist to Dallas for a…
