Joe Nathan is one of baseball’s more underrated relievers of the century, despite being a dominant reliever most of his career. This is year one for him on the Hall of Fame ballot. Through a little over 135 ballots known, he still needs 16 more votes to stay on for a second season. After two seasons as a primary starter, Joe Nathan converted to the bullpen full-time, where he remained for the rest of his career. In 13 seasons (missed 2010), Nathan pitched to a 2.41 ERA, a 2.76 FIP, a 2.67 SIERA, a 29.2 strikeout rate and saved 376 games. With the anti-reliever bias––only six relievers with mor…

By Richard Johnson A month after the Tide’s SEC title romp, will the rematch be closer? These are the matchup’s defining questions. Will the Georgia-Alabama sequel be anything like the original? Well, you’d certainly hope not after two largely uncompetitive semifinal games got us back right where we were a month ago: a 41–24 SEC title game boat racing in Bama’s favor. Vegas sees Monday’s game as a tighter affair, with Georgia as a three-point favorite, 3.5 points fewer than the first game. It’s not likely that the Crimson Tide will again be 17 points better than the Bulldogs, but the combined …

MIAMI — When then-Miami police chief Art Acevedo accused city commissioners of corruption in the midst of a battle to save his job last year, he went all the way to Washington, D.C., for help, asking for a federal “intervention” in his own city. Two weeks before he was fired, Acevedo emailed Department of Justice officials an eight-page memo accusing commissioners Joe Carollo, Alex Díaz de la Portilla and Manolo Reyes of improperly interfering in police internal investigations and other misdeeds — a previously unreported communication that confirms the chief followed through on a warning that …

By Steven Lassan Examining five x-factors for the Georgia Bulldogs and how it could impact the 2021-22 national championship game against Alabama. Georgia is one win away from the program’s first national championship since 1980. However, in order to end the drought, the Bulldogs have to go through Alabama. Georgia coach Kirby Smart is 0-4 against his former boss Nick Saban, and the last two meetings were decided by a 41-24 score. Although the Bulldogs have come up short against the Crimson Tide, oddsmakers have installed Smart’s team as the favorite on Monday night. An elite defense is hungry…

Former President Donald Trump announced Tuesday evening that he would cancel the press conference scheduled for Thursday, the one-year anniversary of the Jan. 6 insurrection. This cancelation is a relief for Senate Republicans, who openly expressed worry that Trump would reignite discourse questioning the validity of the 2020 presidential election. When asked earlier on Tuesday about the conference, Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-West Virginia) said, “I don’t think that’s a good idea. I guess it depends on what he’s going to say. But early assumptions are that it’s going to be an aggressive stat…
