Every time he smile flashes on screen or she is captured walking to a suite, we are effortlessly reminded why she is the biggest issue in sports today. And we’re not reminded by anything she does, but by all the […]

And this year was no easy choice either for the CFP. The biggest complaint was how did a 13-0 FSU team who won their conference championship get left out? Yes, they deserved […]
