Over the past few weeks, we've seen some monster contracts in baseball, from Bryce Harper's monster deal with the Phillies, to Mike Trouts even bigger contract extension with the Angels. Now it's time for the Red Sox to put up or shut up, or they could be without a generational talent in two years...

I honestly don’t have too many complaints on my end when it comes to this years NCAA Tournament. Most of my complaints would be seeding, but I can live with that. The Southern Conference not getting a second bid as compared to other leagues whom got two, it makes no sense to me. But at least there...

The NBA is a players league, the NFL is starting to realize that they're going to have to become the same...but Major League Baseball is going the opposite way, and it's pretty embarrassing to see. In recent history we have seen players signed by MLB franchises for ungodly amounts of money, and yes...

I've said it for years and have heard the same response every time, but the inevitable might finally be here. Major League Baseball is discussing the implementation of the Universal DH and it's about time they did. Deep breaths purists...your typical responses haven't swayed me yet and they won't...

It took until 2019, but we finally have a unanimous vote for the Baseball Hall of Fame and it is in the form of former New York Yankees closer Mariano Rivera. Good. Great. Now, BBWAA, DO BETTER!

For four straight years, the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Clemson Tigers have faced off in the College Football Playoff. Three of them, including tonight, for the National Championship. Typically, this would be an annoyance to most sports fans...but this one feels different. It's the Ali vs Frazier...

(Late post) Ditti breaks down the CFB Matchups and more!

Well...that was ugly... Our Gamecocks completely laid an egg in the Belk Bowl and were shut out by the Virginia Cavaliers. It happened, it's over and I promise you that Deebo Samuel wouldn't have made all that much of a difference outside it not being a shutout maybe. Of course, there is a lot to...

Things I've heard in the last week as Clemson makes their fourth consecutive appearance in the College Football Playoff.... "Clemson wouldn't win nine games in a real conference like the SEC"; "Notre Dame is too big for a conference and therefor too big for Clemson"; "if they played a real schedule...

Crushing. Inexcusable. Frustrating. These are all words that us South Carolina faithful have used to describe the Gamecocks' 35-31 loss to the Florida Gators last Saturday in The Swamp. Carolina seemed to snatch defeat from the hands of victory as they blew a late lead in Gainesville and allowed...
