Juan Mata Calls for Manchester United to Have More Consistency
Having taken only five points from their first four games, Manchester United are off to a lackluster start this season.

In Brandon Peters, Lovie Smith May Finally Have a Legit QB at Illinois
It's only Akron, so a whole lot remains to be seen, but you can't argue against what you saw yesterday.

Northwestern Has Severe Quarterbacking Issues Heading into Bye Week
Northwestern Head Coach Pat Fitzgerald is well publicized Chicago White Sox fan. One of the most heralded Sox teams of his youth, the 1983 American League West Division champion edition, went by the slogan and mantra of "Winnin' Ugly." Had NU pulled off the victory today at #25 Stanford (and they came pretty close in the end), the catch-phrase certainly would have applied. … [Read more...] about Northwestern Has Severe Quarterbacking Issues Heading into Bye Week
Jurgen Klopp Comments on Sadio Mane Fuming at Mo Salah
Liverpool forward Sadio Mane is known for being a calm, cool, even-keeled kind of guy in public. To see him rage on the pitch, like he did today in the Reds' 3-0 win over Liverpool, is extremely rare. In other words, it takes a lot to set him off, and we saw him fuming while on his way to being subbed off at the Turf Moor, and apparently the anger was directed at teammate … [Read more...] about Jurgen Klopp Comments on Sadio Mane Fuming at Mo Salah
Keys to Julian Love Finding Success with the New York Giants
It's a question that has been asked many times since Notre Dame got blown out by Clemson 30-3 in the Cotton Bowl semifinal last season- what if Julian Love had been able to play the entire game? What if the best cover corner in college football last year didn't have to miss a significant portion of the game in order to enter concussion protocol? The game was still close when … [Read more...] about Keys to Julian Love Finding Success with the New York Giants

2019 Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football Season Preview, Predictions
Last season you saw just how close, but yet at the same time also how far the Notre Dame Fighting Irish are to winning their first national title since 1988.

Inability to Finish is the Worst of Manchester United’s Issues
Once again Manchester United controlled possession (59%-41%), had more shots (21-10) and put more of those shots on goal (8-2) than their opponent. Once again the Red Devils dropped points, as they just can't finish. Why isn't this team more clinical? “We are one down, to be fair, but we just didn’t find the right one,” United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said of the striker … [Read more...] about Inability to Finish is the Worst of Manchester United’s Issues
