Welcome back to Fact or Fiction, our weekly look at the NFL's most surprising performances. Except for this week, where there's no real point in looking at the biggest shock of Week 10. That shock was Houston Texans backup quarterback Davis Mills finishing as the overall QB1 after leading a furious fourth-quarter comeback over the […]

For what might be the first time all season, the top 10 Heisman contenders entering the week are the same 10 players that were the Heisman contenders before the past weekend’s games. There&#...

After an off week, Formula 1 is back in action this weekend at Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez for the São Paulo Grand Prix. Last race saw Lando Norris win and edge past his teammate, Oscar Piastri, for the points lead. That lead grew to nine points after Saturday's Sprint race. That lead might grow after Sunday […]

We're now into the second half of the NFL season, and we're more than halfway through the fantasy season. In fact, the fantasy football playoffs are going to be here before you know it, with most leagues starting things up in Week 15. That means that if you're currently on the outside looking in of […]

It’s here: the first official CFP rankings. The committee put out its first official rankings, which currently have these 12 teams making the playoffs, in order from highest seed to lowest s...

Four of the five players in this week's Fact or Fiction column played in the same football game this week. That game? The thrilling 47-42 contest between the Bengals and Bears. But that wasn't just a high-scoring game. It was a high-scoring game where the best performances came from unexpected places. Backup running backs. No. 3 […]

We don’t have too many changes in the Heisman top 10 this week. In fact, the 10 players on the list last week are the 10 players on the list this week. The betting odds would say Oregon&#821...

We've reached Week 9 of the NFL season, which is the final week before the NFL trade deadline. I don't know if that matters too much for the purposes of this column about wide receivers because there likely aren't a ton of receivers who'll be on the move, so it's not like we'll see any players […]

Another week of college football is behind us, and there have been a few more shake-ups in the College Football Playoff projections. I’ll get to the Group of Five one in a moment, but first,...

As you'll see in this week's Fact or Fiction column, it was a good week to face the Dallas Cowboys defense, though it's kind of always a good week to take on Dallas. The Cowboys' defense has allowed the most passing touchdowns in the league and the second-most passing yards. Additionally, the Dallas run defense […]

The battle for the Heisman might look, on the surface, like a two-player battle at the moment, but Fernando Mendoza and Ty Simpson’s closest competitors continue to inch up the board. One pl...

Formula 1 was in Austin last weekend for the United States Grand Prix, which saw Max Verstappen pick up a big win to continue his attempt to come back from an early-season hole to capture a fifth consecutive Formula 1 title. Those hopes might have hit a speed bump this weekend in Mexico City, though. […]

Can I retroactively tell you to sit someone? Because if so, I'd go back in time and recommend that you don't play Quentin Johnston on Thursday night. In a game where the Chargers scored 37 points and quarterback Justin Herbert threw for 227 yards and three touchdowns, Johnston wasn't even targeted. He played 52 percent […]

The NASCAR Xfinity Series heads to Martinsville Speedway on Saturday for the IAA and Ritchie Bros. 250. This is the final race of the Round of 8, and no driver has won his way into the Championship 4 yet, as part-time driver Aric Almirola won Las Vegas and Austin Hill, who was eliminated in the […]

The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series season is nearing its conclusion. Friday's Slim Jim 200 at Martinsville offers drivers one final chance to clinch a spot in the Championship 4. Corey Heim has clinched one of the four places in the championship battle after a win at the Charlotte Roval, but the other three spots could […]

We had an eventful week in college football, headlined by Texas Tech, Ole Miss, and Miami all suffering their first loss of the season. Two of those teams remain in the rankings this week, albeit ...

Like most of you who are reading this, I grew up playing Madden. I can't remember what year Madden it was, but there was one where Oronde Gadsden was a free agent and I always signed him to bolster the Texans receiving group, because this was back when the team had Andre Johnson and then, […]

Down goes the favorite. Miami quarterback Carson Beck looked like he was beginning to separate himself from the field, but after throwing four interceptions in Friday’s loss to Louisville, B...

Formula 1 is back in the United States this weekend for the United States Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas. This is a Sprint weekend, with Max Verstappen winning Saturday's Sprint race. Heading into this race, Verstappen continues to move closer to championship contention. He earned six points over points leader […]

It's hard to believe it's Week 7 already. It's even harder to believe that it's Week 7 and the Ravens have the same record as the Browns, Titans, and Saints. That has nothing to do with the rest of this article, as no wide receiver from any of those four teams is featured, but it's […]

Down goes Oregon. With the Ducks losing to Indiana in Week 7, we have an open bye spot in the playoff projections. Guess what, though? That’s not the only team that drops from the top four i...

Welcome back to our fantasy football series, Fact or Fiction. We're heading into Week 7 of the NFL season now after a Week 6 that...well, it honestly didn't feature as many surprises as we might usually have. That was especially true at quarterback. Patrick Mahomes was the overall QB1 for the week, and while the QB2-4 […]

The Heisman race has started to solidify. This week, the top eight players from last week remain the top eight players this week, with the biggest change being a drop for Oregon quarterback Dante ...

What just happened? Winless UCLA played host to Penn State this weekend. It should have been a Nittany Lions blowout victory, but instead Penn State somehow lost, falling 42-37 and dropping the te...

Welcome back to our fantasy football series, Fact of Fiction. We're heading into Week 6 of the NFL season now after a Week 5 that seemed to feature either close games or blowouts exclusively. Some of those games led to surprise names at the top of this week's fantasy scoring leaderboard. That includes Panthers running […]

Last week saw seismic shifts in the Heisman race. This week? Not so much. Whether it was because top contenders were on a bye or picked up big wins, the top seven players in last week’s rank...

F1 heads to Marina Bay this weekend for the Singapore Grand Prix. For the second race in a row, no McLaren driver is on the front row, as Mercedes' George Russell and Red Bull's Max Verstappen start first and second. Verstappen has come on strong lately, winning the past two races. Can he make it […]

We just had a wild weekend of college football action, which saw Penn State, LSU, and Georgia all lose, shaking up the projected College Football Playoff field. That includes LSU falling out of th...

Welcome back to our fantasy football series, Fact of Fiction. We're heading into Week 5 of the NFL season now after an exciting Week 4 that featured some surprising big-time performances, including Dolphins tight end Darren Waller making his return to the league and scoring a pair of touchdowns. Surely, that Waller performance was a […]

The entire shape of the Heisman race has changed. That’s because the player who looked like the clear favorite, Oklahoma’s John Mateer, had surgery for a hand injury and is expected to...
