2022 marks the 40th anniversary of the movie TAPS and with it, the fourth decade of Tom Cruise being in our lives. Growing up a huge S.E. Hinton fan, I can remember first seeing Cruise in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1983 film adaptation of The Outsiders. The Outsiders–holy smokes. What a cast?!? Patrick Swayze (RIP). Matt…
Packers fans, take a breath of relief. Jaire Alexander isn’t going anywhere. Earlier this week, the Green Bay Packers and their star cornerback agreed to a four-year, $84 million extension making him the highest-paid defensive back based on per year average. Green Bay has historically been known to push all of their money towards their…

No facet of the defense is more important, and having too many pass rushers is still not enough. Not to say that the OLB is one…
Drafted number 12 overall in the 2019 draft, Rashan Gary was considered a “project” pick. Gary was immensely talented and highly regarded for his skill set.
