Up In The Nosebleeds

By Colin Dixon December 22nd, 2018 Picture Via @Angels Twitter After wasting another year with the best player in baseball on the roster the Los Angeles Angels have made some moves to hopefully make a playoff push. The Angels went 80-82 last year with an injury flooded season and need to act fast if they are going to keep Mike Trout on their roster after 2020. Trout will become a free agent after the 2020 season and the Angels have only taken him to the playoffs once and they did not win a game. If the Angels are going to keep Trout on their roster they need success and they need it soon. Last years Coach Mike Scioscia stepped down and now Brad Ausmus has taken over for the Halos and he has a ton of holes he will have to fill before the season begins. Last year the Angels patched up their pitching rotation by adding Japanese sensation Shohei Ohtani but after just one year in the majors, Ohtani had to get Tommy John Surgery. Angels General Manager Billy Eppler was tasked with...

By Colin Dixon December 15th, 2018 Picture Via @NFL Twitter After normally making our game picks on our podcast Max, Tyler, and I are doing something different this week without a podcast. This week we are doing our picks via the blog. Chargers vs Chiefs  This past Thursday started off Week 15 with a bang, when the Chiefs and the Chargers battled it all the way down to the final seconds of the fourth quarter. The Chiefs started the game up 14-0 but the Chargers managed to come back and win the game 29-28. With only four seconds left the Chargers scored and decided to go for two and got it. With the win, the Chargers tied the Chiefs for the top spot in the AFC. Without their top Running Back in Melvin Gordon the Chargers have kept rolling and will look to keep rolling into Week 16 next week. The Chiefs, on the other hand, will still hold the top spot in the playoffs if both teams win out and the Chargers will have to settle for a wild-card spot. Texans vs Jets This game...

By Colin Dixon December 3rd, 2018 Picture Via @RamsNFL Twitter On Sunday, December 2nd, the Los Angeles Rams clinched their second NFC West Division Title in the last two years by defeating the Detroit Lions in their 12th game of the year. So far the Rams are 11-1 and have won three games in a row since their only loss to the New Orleans Saints. Right now the Rams are sitting in the 1st spot in the NFC Playoff Standings and if they win out for the rest of the season they will clinch home field advantage throughout the whole entire playoffs. Their next four games are against the Chicago Bears, Philadelphia Eagles, Arizona Cardinals, and the San Francisco 49ers. If the Rams can beat the Bears this upcoming Sunday they will clinch a first-round bye in the upcoming playoffs. The Rams have been riding one of the most high powered offenses the NFL has ever seen, with the second most yards per game and the second most points per game in the league. Quarterback Jared Goff is 4th in the...

By Colin Dixon December 2nd, 2018 Pictures Via @espn Twitter The 2018 College Football regular season has come to an end and now it is onto the postseason. On Sunday, December 2nd the official College Football Playoff bracket was finally announced and Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame, and Oklahoma were the four schools who were selected to play in the playoff. The College Football Playoff started in 2014 when the NCAA decided to change the National Championship format from the top two teams playing in a championship to the top 4 teams playing in a mini bracket with two semi-final games and one championship game.  As it has been in every year of the playoff the committee had to make tough decisions on who truly were the top four teams in the country. Going into Sunday the committee had to decide between three teams for the final spot in the playoff.  Alabama, Clemson, and Notre Dame all went undefeated in 2018 and were undoubtedly going to be put in the playoff by th...
