Predicting 2018’s College GameDay Saturday Locations

My favorite time of the year – college football season is only less than four months away! Seriously…Summer can’t go fast enough this year especially with my (extreme) optimism for my Arizona Wildcats and new coach Kevin Sumlin. With college football comes the best LIVE television show – ESPN’s College GameDay. I’ve been to the […]

EC’s Kentucky Derby Selections

This Saturday is one of my favorite days of the year: the betting spectacle that is the Kentucky Derby! Now let’s be honest…the Belmont Stakes full card is better than what we’ll say on Saturday at Churchill Downs. But the unpredictability of what will happen in America’s largest and arguably most significant yearly race can’t […]

NFL Draft: Predicting the Top-15 Picks

I have never claimed to be an NFL Draft expert and very well could be completely mistaken upon submitting this mini-mock draft. But here is my (fairly uneducated) guess at the top-15 picks in this year’s draft – mock trades included.

NFL Schedule Release – Projecting Realistic Records for Each Team

It’s April 20th…and the first weekend of football is 21 Sundays away but it’s still fun to project how teams might far based on how their schedule shapes up. Obviously these projections will likely be affected by draft picks, free agency moves, trades, and injuries come Labor Day Weekend but here’s my first crack at […]

Friday, 4/13 Quick Hitters: Predicting the NBA Playoffs, Quick UofA Wisdom, and more!

Usually I’m not a huge NBA Playoffs fan until the later rounds…as it’s usually a case of the talent-rich crushing the talent less-rich in the early rounds. I think we might see some deviations of that this postseason. Here are my predictions…and yes, spoiler-alert, I’m taking a surprise team to end up in the Finals… […]

Predicting Tonight’s National Championship Game Winner + This Weekend’s Masters Contenders

Always a fun sports week with college basketball’s National Championship Game on Monday night followed by the best week of the pro golf weekend, or at least the most prestigious, The Masters. Starting off the week with the final game of a tumultuous NCAA Basketball season – the sport has been through the ringer since […]

My 2018 MLB Predictions

If you’ve been reading Cohen’s Corner for long enough, you know that usually I like to make predictions. And with baseball season beginning this Thursday, here are my projected records for each team, playoff predictions, and award winners in each league! I have a feeling I’m going to be fairly accurate this season…

Friday, 3/23 Quick Hitters – I was right about March Madness + NFL Free Agency Thoughts

I want you to be honest with me for a second… Are you excited about watching Kansas State vs. Loyola-Chicago in the South Regional Final on Saturday? Truthfully would you have watched it during the year if it was just a meaningless regular season game. The answer to both questions…is no. I appreciate that both […]

Why I Hate This Year’s March Madness, Predicting the Sweet 16 & Beyond, + UofA’s Utter Disappointment

Many fans love the unpredictability and drama the NCAA Tournament but I’m not one of them. Watching UMBC beat Virginia on Friday night was a cool moment, no doubt, the first 16 seed to ever defeat a top seed in the Big Dance. But I’d MUCH rather see the best teams play one another for […]

March Madness: Breaking down the bracket + my picks to win

Seriously…could the selection committee have done a WORSE job putting together this bracket? Leaving out USC was bad enough (I know they didn’t have many Quadrant 1 wins but they certainly passed the eye test to me) but seeding Arizona 4th in the SOUTH bracket with Virginia AND Kentucky!? Stupid. Don’t tell me there wasn’t […]
