How much will Michigan’s tight ends be used this year (LINK)?

LeBron James – notorious for being an OSU fan – endorses Juwan Howard as the next Michigan basketball coach (LINK). I like James, but I’m not sure how to feel about that.

Tom Brady

I posted a list of Michigan’s all-time career interception leaders (LINK).

Football Outsiders handed out awards for the 2018 NFL season (LINK). Tom Brady has three-peated as the player most likely to decline next year, so look out for 2019 when the wheels fall off.

Over on Football Study Hall, Ian Boyd asks what it means to have a balanced offense (LINK).

Morning Roundup: February 3, 2019

Tonight is Super Bowl LIII, the New England Patriots vs. the Los Angeles Rams. I think the Rams have more talent, but obviously Tom Brady and Bill Belichick are a pretty lethal combination, too. I’m going to be very interested in seeing whether the Patriots’ offensive line can keep Rams’ defensive tackles Aaron Donald and Ndamukong Suh out of the backfield. If the Patriots don’t scheme a way of keeping Donald out of Brady’s face, then I think it’s going to be a tough night. The Rams have the best receiving corps in the league, and I don’t think the Patriots’ defensive backs can keep up, so I think New England’s going to have to score a bunch to keep up. My prediction: Rams 34, Patriots 26.

Lo and behold, Stephen Holder wrote about blocking Aaron Donald (LINK), and Ted Nguyen wrote about how the Patriots might stop him (LINK).
