  Where is Paul George? What's going on with PG13? Has PG lost his touch? Is the shoulder soreness too much to handle?  These are the questions that have consumed many minds who have been tuning into the NBA playoffs. Paul George was off ... to say the least. On Tuesday, August 25, the day of Game 5 between the Los Angeles Clippers and Dallas Mavericks ... something clicked for PG.  "I mean, I just felt it. My energy, my spirit was changed. That's all it needed" said George when referring to his chat with the team psychiatrist. "That's all I needed. I came here, I know what my job was. Left it all on that court. Ready to move forward." 35 points in 25 minutes was certainly needed. Paul George became the only player to score 35 in 25 minutes or less in the shot clock era (1954-55).  PG was hearing it all within the world of social media.

We have even witnessed Dabo Swinney mentioning that the downsize of college football participation does not sway the playoff picture. "Whoever wins it...

I have Last Chance U on my television right now. You could say I am ready for football. It's been SIX months, my good people! The time is upon us.  OTAs are in the books, training camps and preseason have been in full-effect for everyone, and  Fantasy Drafts are going down. I'm not sure any of us can truly be as "lit" as JuJu Smith-Schuster, but I'm going to try and get us there.  Anybody else's highlight of the year last year? Let's dive in.  All of the moves this offseason should have you, football enthusiasts of America, hyped. The Cleveland Browns themselves have been the headline, and not just because of Hard Knocks. I am almost certain they will win a game this season with the amount of talent they picked up. Baker Mayfield and Tyrod Taylor are battling for the starting QB role. Josh Gordon is back in action. Jarvis Landry signed a five-year, $75-million contract in April to accompany Flash.  The Browns have managed to make themse...
