  • Briggs: Why - and how - the Cavaliers should go all in to acquire Giannis

    2 days ago | toledoblade.com | Dave Briggs

    The Cleveland Cavaliers have been nothing if not bold in recent years, from the blockbuster trade for Donovan Mitchell to the surprise firing of coach J.B. Bickerstaff despite four straight seasons of steady improvement. Now, how about the biggest swing of all? How about moving heaven and hardwood to go after … Giannis Antetokounmpo? It might sound crazy — a pipe-dream overreaction to one bad series.

  • Briggs: Michigan clearly thinks the NCAA is a joke. We'll see who's laughing next

    4 days ago | toledoblade.com | Dave Briggs

    It was a slap on the wrist and a slap in the face. With word dropping last week that Michigan plans to suspend football coach Sherrone Moore for two games of its choice this season, the school sent a message as flippant as it was clear. It thinks the NCAA Committee on Infractions is a joke. We’ll see who’s laughing next. Either way, get ready for what ought to be a pay-per-view showdown. Michigan’s hearing for the Connor Stalions sign-stealing scandal is reportedly set for June 6 and 7.

A top star in one of the top junior leagues, the 20-year-old Canadian attended training camp with the Vegas Golden Knights last year and is ranked among the 50 best draft-eligible defenseman in North America by the NHL’s official scouting service. Leslie had his pick of college suitors. He chose Bowling Green.

  • Briggs: Toledo-BG rivalry gets official sponsor. Could Ohio State-Michigan be rebranded next?

    1 week ago | toledoblade.com | Dave Briggs

    Now that one of our big college rivalries has an official sponsor — with the Battle of I-75 to be presented by Fremont Federal Credit Union — how about the other one? What about Ohio State-Michigan? When it comes to The Game, what’s in a name? How about The Ring Classic presented by Signal ( … because Michigan is watching)? Or THE Morton Salt Shootout not presented by Disney’s Frozen ( … because Ohio State fans won’t let it go)?
