Robert Morris is not getting the praise it deserves thus far in the season. The Colonials (0-2, 0-0) are making a case to be one of the best 0-2 teams in the FCS. Their two losses have come in the final moments of each game, and even though the Colonials...

Dan Kitchen, Staff Writer December 22, 2013

I'll start by saying I apologize to anyone who checks here for their NFL picks directly before the 1 P.M. kickoff, a storm took our power out at home, leaving me with no internet or way to get to an access point until just about a half hour ago. On the...

NFL Picks, Week 5

Dan Kitchen, Staff Writer October 6, 2013

Days Go By, Glycerine: Big Board, Jan. 15 Edition

Dan Kitchen, NFL Staff Writer January 22, 2013

This song is one I just got off a commercial I heard. Great song by a band I consider almost a one-hit wonder, Bush. Chord progressions were the same as the song used in the commercial. Nevertheless, I don't need to bore you with musical details. Just...
