They are just that - rumors. It's no
Tony Harrison doesn’t see a third fight with Jermell Charlo
"Superbad" Tony Harrison is not one to bite his tongue. His Tuesday morning appearance on Woodward Sports' Baligian and Bell was no different. In the near half-hour interview, Harrison spoke on several boxing-related subjects. He discussed a lot, from his upcoming fight with Bryant Perrella to his status among Michigan boxing legends. However, the interview took a sharp turn. When Harrison began discussing his peers, specifically Jermell Charlo, he

Nintendo is ready to create new intellectual properties alongside our most cherished franchises for the Switch
In a year when gaming giants are making questionable decisions, Nintendo is seeking to reach a broad audience. The company created strong intellectual properties back in the 80s and 90s- some so memorable that if we don’t see a new Mario or Legend of Zelda title, we wonder what the big deal is. Now, the gaming giant has its eyes on a future of variety by focusing
Josh Jackson: Detroit’s Own and Detroit’s Hope
In a recent interview, Detroit native and current Detroit Piston Josh Jackson defined Detroit sports. The former top pick told Keith Langlois, "You see our record, but teams coming in, they know no matter who's out, when you play the Pistons you're going to have to come play," Jackson's statement will likely be looked at laughingly by the national media. The Pistons are a 16-win team cemented

Naughty Dog is remaking The Last of Us for Playstation 5, and it’s causing unrest at Sony
The Last of Us is quite a fantastic game. Following Ellie and Joel through an infested post-apocalypse is nothing short of satisfying. Their relationship starts antagonistic, but the game’s pace builds their connection believably. By the game’s end, fans are so involved with these characters that morally questionable decisions or downright terrible ones they make shows they are heavily flawed. We understand the world is broken— Ellie

DeAndre Haynes is the perfect head coach for EMU Basketball
DeAndre Haynes should not be an assistant coach for the Maryland men's basketball team. As a reader, you're probably wondering where the criticism is to follow the above sentence. After all, it is the perfect setup to "go in" on someone. Not in this case. See, the reason Haynes, 37, doesn't belong on the Terrapins' sidelines has nothing to do with his coaching skills. Quite frankly, he's

Following Francis Ngannou's stunning second-round KO of Stipe Miocic, UFC fans quickly turned their attention to one man: Jon Jones.
