Talk of "Russia" has dominated the American news cycle over the past two years for all the wrong reasons.

Soccer's World Cup is a tournament featuring 32 teams broken into eight four-team groups.

2018 First Round NFL Draft Grades by Team
by Robert Ferringo - 4/27/2018

You cannot deny evolution. Some creatures are just born to thrive while others are meant for elimination. And we were treated to this cold, unrelenting fact of nature again on Thursday in the first round of the NFL Draft. The Cleveland Browns, New York Jets and Buffalo Bills are three loser franchises. They are three of the most hopeless, inconsequential organizations in sports, perpetual failures that serve as minor stepping stones for the elite teams in the NFL. And they all proved why that is once again by failing to take advantage of the fantastic opportunities they were given to alter their histories.

2018 NFL Draft: Breaking Down the Quarterback Class
by Robert Ferringo - 4/26/2018

By my count, between 1998-2014 just 17 of the 47 quarterbacks taken in the first round of the NFL Draft turned into legitimate, competent signal callers with positive careers. (It's too early to call it on anyone taken in the last three years.) And my definition of "legitimate, competent signal caller" liberally includes noted losers Carson Palmer (No. 1 overall pick with 92-88 career record and one playoff win), Jay Cutler (No. 11 overall pick with 74-79 record and one playoff win), and Daunte Culpepper (No. 11 overall pick with 41-59 career record and two playoff wins).

by Robert Ferringo - 4/24/2018

The Cleveland Browns have been the most fascinating team in football so far this offseason. They have made several high-profile trades and signings. And with two of the top four picks in the NFL Draft they are in a position to restructure and redirect what has been one of the most incompetent franchises in sports.

by Robert Ferringo - 3/28/2018

Sure, we may have a surprise winner in one of the Central divisions. And there are some teams in both the A.L. and N.L. Easts that can test the frontrunners. But the N.L. West is the lone division that seems prepared to give baseball fans a legitimate, 162-game dog fight for the title.

by Robert Ferringo - 3/28/2018

2018 AL Central Expert Predictions with Odds and MLB Betting Picks
by Robert Ferringo - 3/26/2018

Things are going to be ugly in the American League Central this year. Really, really ugly. Detroit and Chicago are barely going to be above Triple-A caliber as they both thrust their organizations into full-blown rebuilds. Kansas City isn't far behind. And its is entirely possible that the Central could end up with three teams losing 90 or more games this season.

2018 March Madness Bracket Predictions: South Region
by Robert Ferringo - 3/14/2018

I know that this has a great chance to come back to bite me, but I'm just going to come right out and say it: I don't trust Virginia. The Virginia Cavaliers are the No. 1 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament this year. They dominated their way to ACC regular-season and tournament titles, and at 31-2 they have the best mark of any team in the country. Virginia is in the Top 25 in both offensive and defensive efficiency, and they really don't have a weakness on either end of the court.

Expert March Madness Bracket Predictions: East Region
by Robert Ferringo - 3/14/2018

The plight of the Villanova Wildcats is a pretty perfect avatar of this year's NCAA Tournament. The Wildcats went 30-4 and won the Big East Tournament title last week. They are easily one of the two or three best teams in the country and one of the favorites to win the national title this season.

2018 March Madness Bracket Predictions: West Region
by Robert Ferringo - 3/13/2018

Every year there is one region that is so brutally loaded with potential Final Four participants that it is dubbed "The Region of Death". Well, this year the West Region is whatever the opposite of "The Region of Death" is. This section of the bracket is kind of a mess, with a host of flawed contenders all attempting to avoid enough upsets to back their way into the Final Four.
