Far too often we focus our attention on what round players are drafted, assuming the order they are picked is indicative of their actual value. I’m here to tell you that isn’t the case, and there is a quartet of rookie running backs that are primed to immediately put their stamps on the NFL gridiron—not to mention your fantasy football league. The Cincinnati Bengals yanked the first running back off the 2013 NFL Draft board at No. 37, choosing a game-changer out of North Carolina named Giovanni Bernard. Bernard was overlooked through most of the season, as the Tar Heels don’t garner very much attention in the world...

  Tim Tebow has some seriously delusional fans that will do just about anything to get him a job. Rollin Yeatts, Allen Miller and Adam Cavallini discuss how idiotic Tebowmania’s latest proposal was. Fortunately, that’s just a small sliver of the show. The guys also the Big 12 and the SEC after Bob Stoops and Nick Saban’s latest comments. The it’s on to harass the MLB umpires about their latest blunders and debate the need of a replay official. The rest of the show is entirely to the NBA Playoffs. Can anyone overcome the 2-1 deficit? Some of TSB’s own think so.   Share this:TwitterFacebookGoogle...

  With the addition of Kevin Kolb and Tarvaris Jackson, as well as the 16th overall selection of E.J. Manuel in the 2013 NFL draft, the Buffalo Bills have a very interesting competition at quarterback blooming. For the first time in the last decade, the Buffalo Bills targeted a quarterback in the first round of the draft. The selection leaves the well deserved question: Who will start the season for the newly-led Bills? Although first round quarterbacks selected outside the top 10 such as Brandon Weeden and Joe Flacco have started immediately for their respective teams, it is not a set precedent to do so. Players such as Tim Tebow,...

  The TSB crew is back with another edition of “The Low Blow Sports Show.” Today, Rollin Yeatts, Allen Miller and Adam Cavallini get in some crucial debates over Derrick Rose not playing the first round and the effect of Jeremy Lin’s absence on the Rockets. Was that really why Houston pulled off two wins against the Thunder, as so many are saying? After pounding those two topics, the guys also discuss Chris Paul’s future with the Clippers and Geno Smith’s alleged character flaws. Then it’s time to get back into the current NBA Playoffs action, as they break down and give their picks for the...

  The 2012 NFL draft brought us a tremendous group of highly talented quarterbacks, with Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III and Russell Wilson.  Even guys like Ryan Tannehill, Brandon Weeden, Nick Foles and Brock Osweiler look like they could have promising futures in the NFL. Entering the 2013 NFL Draft, all the talk was about whether or not there was even one quarterback who could come into the league make an impact.  The results of the draft show us that NFL teams all had the same fears we did.  For the first time in 12 years there was no quarterback drafted in the top three, and there was only one drafted in the entire first round! EJ...

  The Tennessee Titans have had success in recent drafts. But they have also had some massive busts in recent years. This team had some big holes to fill after a disappointing 2012 season in which they only won one division game. This is a breakdown of the players that general manager Ruston Webster and head coach Mike Munchak drafted in the 2013 NFL Draft.   First Round, 10th overall: G Chance Warmack, Alabama The Titans used to have one of the best offensive lines in all of football built around tackles Michael Roos and David Stewart. But they lost both starting guards after the season. The Titans brought in guard Andy LeVitre...

  TSB’s Rollin Yeatts, Allen Miller, Adam Cavallini and Mitch Charette are all present for a special two-hour edition of “The Low Blow Sports Show.” The guys break down every team’s picks in the 2013 NFL Draft, and surprisingly enough, there isn’t a lot of hating going on. These front offices really must have done something right! After spending the bulk of the show on the NFL, the guys transition to the NBA Playoffs and alter some of their first-round picks.

  College basketball is nothing like it once was. We were all at one time lucky enough to witness players grow and show passion for the name across the front of their jersey. Unfortunately, those days are long gone and we now live in an era where players use schools as stepping stones to the NBA. There are a few coaches who use the one-and-done systems, but sadly that number is growing. Kentucky head coach John Calipari is the ringleader of the system that is taking college out of college basketball. The NBA and NCAA currently have an agreement that requires draftees to be at least 19 years old and one year removed from high school....

  Exactly one month ago today, we saw senior Dexter Strickland and junior Reggie Bullock for the last time in North Carolina threads. Both players have given their hearts and souls to UNC, and it is time for Tar Heel Nation to give back. Too often, fans look at situations like Bullock’s and harp on what they think he should or shouldn’t do when it comes to the NBA draft. Just ask John Henson, Harrison Barnes or Kendall Marshall. Everyone except the players seems to know what’s “best” for them, and some go as far as to hold a grudge against the early entrants. Perhaps you think every player should finish...

  Boston is often referred to as the City of Champions. In the days after two explosions devastated the Boston Marathon and sent shock waves of grief around the world, there is no better way to describe the great city of Boston than the City of Champions. This is not because of the historic sports organizations the city loves so much. Not because of beloved sports figures the city embraces so dearly. Boston is the city of champions today—and forever—because of the countless selfless, heroic and brave individuals that ran into the face of evil and disaster. This is not a column in which you will find updates of the investigation...
