As you'll see, I put a lot of stock into when games are played, what happens leading up to those games, and what we've seen historically. I think momentum and the flow of a season (bye weeks, look-ahead games, hangover games, trap games, etc.) are often overlooked when making predictions, which has never been more difficult thanks to conference realignment, the transfer portal and NIL.

When I learned the brown tarantula is also native to Missouri, I gasped, and when I say I'm not too fond of spiders of any genus is an understatement. It's psychological. They have too many legs.

Actor Jim Nabors was so popular with his portrayal of Gomer Pyle on TV's classic country sitcom, The Andy Griffith Show (CBS, 1960-68), that he was spun off into his own series, Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C. (CBS, 1964-69). But when Nabors left the Griffith series, the void was filled by George Lindsay playing Goober Pyle, Gomer's cousin.

Baltimore, MD

Offensive lineman Jackson Carman did not live up to expectations in Cincinnati, as the team cut him after just three seasons. A second-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, the Clemson product was supposed to grow with Joe Burrow and protect the young franchise quarterback. That didn’t happen, as Carman struggled as a rookie and never earned a chance to redeem himself. After appearing in 17 games while making six starts as a rookie, Carman only played 12 snaps last season.

Former SEC head coach shares shocking 2024 prediction about Georgia

Tallahassee, FL

Should the college football world be shocked when a team that lost a bowl game by 60 points is upset in week zero? Mostly the answer is yes. Florida State was considered by almost everyone as a legit CFB Playoff contender. Maybe when applied to Nick Saban's response to the upset, the answer is no. Saban predicted FSU would win the ACC, but he also stated Georgia Tech would be an improved team, with an offense that would challenge many teams. Saban called the Yellowjackets an ACC sleeper team.

More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter. That is exactly what is happening, she said.

The New Orleans Saints or Los Angeles Chargers may pursue former starting quarterback, Bailey Zappe before the regular season begins. According to multiple reports, the trade market is heating up for Zappe if the Patriots keep him around for one more season but it’s likely he won’t make the 53-man roster. The assumption is that Zappe is the odd man out in this situation since Jacoby Brissett is starting week one with Drake Maye and Joe Milton following him on the depth chart. Zappe was the No. 2 starter before slowly Mac Jones went with the Jaguars and Zappe was slipping down the chart.

As the 2024 NBA offseason continues, the Los Angeles Lakers find themselves in a familiar situation—searching for the right pieces to complement their superstar duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis. With the departure of Spencer Dinwiddie to the Dallas Mavericks in free agency, the Lakers need another ball handler and a point-of-attack defender at the guard position. One intriguing option for the Lakers who remains on the free-agent market is former first overall pick Markelle Fultz.
