    • The tale of the 350lb Notre Dame QB

      When in doubt run the ball. That’s the motto of Notre Dame defensive tackle Louis Nix, who showed off his ability to run a quarterback draw. In Notre Dame’s annual Blue-Gold spring game, head coach Brian Kelly sent out “Irish chocolate” to convert a two point conversion. Nix took the snap, faked a pass and rumbled into the endzone. Sure this was in a meaningless game, but is it unreasonable to think Kelly couldn’t call this play at some point during the season?

Washington played in three prime-time games last season and also played against the Cowboys on Thanksgiving.

    • The Lakers couldn’t have asked for a better first round matchup in the playoffs. Two out of the Spurs' “big three” are banged up, and the Lakers play a physical brand of basketball, which has been a problem for the Spurs in recent years. Chris Mannix thinks this series is going to be a good battle, but he can’t foresee the Spurs bowing out in the first round again.
