Lang’s World: The Atlanta Falcons may not be perfect, but at least they’re mine
Despite the Falcons playing lights out defense for most of the game against Philly, folding just seems to be what we do best. We can complete, we can make some big plays, we can even win big games from time to time, but time and again, we haven’t been able to seal the deal when…

Lang’s World: The SEC All-Name Team
What’s in a name? Perhaps we should ask former Auburn running back Chandler Shakespeare, who shared a surname with the Bard, himself. Because when you really think about, there’s a lot in a name.

Despite having some bye weeks built into our schedule this season, the NBA 2K League has remained a grind. But what makes it worth the grind is getting results, which is exactly what’s happened with Grizz Gaming this season. Today we sit at 5-6, in 13th place out of 21 teams, just one loss out…

Lang’s World: How Soccer Explains the 901

Lang’s World: Always Changing
This is a hard but true fact of life. As much as we crave constancy, the world around us is always changing, and sometimes we have to change, as well. It isn’t always easy, it isn’t always fun, but change is going to happen, with or without you.

Lang’s World: We’re Ready for Season 2
Now that we’re into 2019, the season two draft is just a few weeks away. I’m assembling my crew and getting ready to put in hours scouting and prepping for the season two draft. Season one was not easy, but going through it taught me a ton, about myself, about my team, and about the…
