Few things in life are close enough to perfect that trying to improve upon them has been well established as folly. The first sip of good whiskey after five minutes in crushed ice. The precise chord progression in the first two signature bars of a great song. The inimitable sound of ocean waves breaking on shore. Trying to revise or expand on them…

PARIS, Kentucky (InvestigateTV/Gray News) - Long before a string of catastrophic horse deaths at a racetrack in California made headlines and a federal indictment of more than two dozen horseracing insiders rocked the sport, the owner of one of the most famed thoroughbreds was advocating for change. In 1982, Penny Chenery, the owner of Triple Crown…

Sometime after midnight, having just watched one of the worst football games I have ever seen with my own eyes, I took a gander at Georgia's schedule. Not the 2022 schedule. The Bulldogs passed that test. They finished a perfect 15-0 overall, winning a second national championship. They also finished a superb 11-4 against the spread. After losing…

Georgia's national championship victory over TCU is less than a week old, but the news and offseason never stops in college football - and that's especially true in the SEC. The Bulldogs will be heavily favored to win the SEC next season, which means 13 other teams have already started to aim for coach Kirby Smart's program and how to topple the…

If you had to pick a well-known phrase to sum up Eli Drinkwitz's ethos, what do you think it would be? "Look twice before you leap," may be one. "Slow and steady wins the race," could be another. "May The Force be with you," might also fit, though you could potentially sub it out for, "I've got a bad feeling about this," depending on the game…

Following a one-game suspension as well as some internally-handled discipline due to being, "way too good at predicting games," (Kevin Kelley's words. Not mine. I promise) I have returned for Week 10 of the 2022 SEC Football Predictions. I will do my best to, "stop getting every game correct," and will "try to at least not get the exact score…

Florida and Michigan both own storied bowl histories, but not as much as of late.

Georgia set the curve again with a dominant assembly of talent and a wave of youth that kept the red and black mean machine chugging down the tracks. Here's how I grade each SEC team's season.
