An Open Letter to Notre Dame Fans

I was watching the big Notre Dame vs. Cincinnatti Big East battle last night in college hoops when, at the end of the game, the fans started chanting “Brian Kelly, Brian Kelly, Brian Kelly” to which I wanted to respond: “Really”. The reality is that two of the least relevent sports programs in the country [...]

The Woodman has an axe to grind

I haven’t contributed anything to the site for a few weeks and wanted to weigh in on some of my recent thoughts relating to the current sports landscape.

Serena didn’t even commit a foot fault! If it were me, I would have put on a far worse display of [...]
