Ladies and gentlemen, the Wisconsin Badgers’ journey towards a basketball national championship got off to a hot start with a win over Maryland in the Big Ten tournament.

I sat in the newsroom a couple hours into the afternoon with a cold Miller Lite in my hand as I watched the Badgers pull ahead for the win. The game was tied before I cracked my first beer, and then the Badgers roared out to a big victory. I’m taking credit for the win. I’m simply laying out the facts and the order of events. We weren’t winning before I opened up a beer and now we’re advancing to play Michigan State.

People didn’t even think the Badgers would win one game in the ..

After finishing 7-9 and watching their division rival Philadelphia Eagles win the Super Bowl, the Washington Redskins need to make some moves in free agency in order not to miss the postseason for a third year in a row.

Quarterback Kirk Cousins appears on his way out, as Washington gets ready for the Alex Smith era. Still, the team needs additional improvements, and along with the draft, the Skins need to further bolster their roster this offseason.

The main focus before next season should be the rush defense, rush offense and receiving core. The defense finished dead last in the league this past season against the run, allowing around 134 yards per game on the ground. On the other side, the offense managed only 90 yards rushing per game, ranking a pathetic 28th in the league. Meanwhile, no receiver reached 1,000 yards.

Here are some suggested acquisitions the Skins can make once free agency starts on March..

Everyone seems to have an opinion on whether or not college athletes should be paid in the wake of the NCAA scandal that was recently exposed by an FBI investigation.

Some of the nation’s top basketball programs including Duke, Kansas, Michigan State, USC and Kentucky were accused of violating NCAA rules in the report. The allegations have re-invigorated the debate about paying players and the Kentucky governor is fully in favor of the idea.

“I firmly believe that for top-tier D-1 programs, these kids should get paid,” Republican Gov. Matt Bevin told TMZ. “They’re professional athletes, for us to pretend otherwise is ridiculous. It’s the minor leagues of professional sports.”

Bevin, who was a Division III student athlete himself, then argued that college should be about educating the students, not benefiting off of them.

“The point of college is not to have a minor league sports program,” Bevin added. “But..

Former NBA star Kobe Bryant won an Oscar Sunday night for his short film “Dear Basketball,” and it proved that Hollywood is full of hypocrites.

Nearly 15 years ago, the Los Angeles Lakers legend was accused of graphically raping a hotel employee at the Lodge & Spa at Cordillera, which is in Colorado. He was soon charged with sexual assault and false imprisonment.

The charges were dropped shortly before trial was set to begin, and he issued a formal apology to his victim. In the era of the #MeToo movement, we should all be asking how the hell Kobe Bryant won an Oscar and was applauded.
