Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of all ages... college football is back. And we're served up a litany of fantastic matchups for the first week of the season, headlined by a clash of two beasts in the southeast, as well as a matchup between two very good teams from the Big Ten and Southeastern Conference. 

Let's get to picking!

Yesterday, New York Yankees president Randy Levine was discussing whether or not the ball club would be bringing superstar second baseman Robinson Cano back to the team in 2014, no matter what the cost was.

College Football Predictions: Week 3

Okay, so we forgot last week. My apologies everybody. Busyness gets the best of you sometimes, and that is what occurred. I will continue to try and keep up the consistency as time goes on and that goes for everything on this blog. Nonetheless, it's the third week of the college football season and the past two have been nothing short of great. This week has a matchup that the world has been waiting for since last November, and several other sneaky good matchups.

NCAA Football Picks: Week 1

We're two days away from real, meaningful football being played. Congratulations everyone, we've made it!! With the return of football season approaching imminently that also means that we get to make predictions out of thin air, and hope that most of them pay off. We'll be doing that week by week here on the blog, just as you remember it being last year for as many weeks as possible before this thing goes into the tank. 

Okay, hopefully not. 

The Magnificence of A.J. Green

The Cincinnati Bengals knew what they were getting into when they selected A.J. Green with the 4th overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. Green, a Summerville, South Carolina native, and Georgia Bulldog, was one of the best prospects in the country. He had the skills in college to perform at the NFL level, providing some great performances in the best football conference in America. The Atlanta Falcons wanted Green at the No. 4 selection, but instead, had to settle for Alabama wideout Julio Jones. 

What a downgrade, right? 

(Of course, Julio Jones is also one of the brightest and best young receivers in the NFL today. Falcons fans should adore him, but to think about what Green could bring to that offense is nothing short of spectacular)

In just two seasons in the National Football League, A.J. has already flourished. He's blossomed into one of the league's best pass-catchers, and he turns 25 at the end of this month. Even though his quarterback play has been mediocre at best and he has proven to be the only offensive weapon that requires legitimate coverage on the Bengals, Green has been able to excite, amaze, and give defensive coordinators fits.
