Hardest Baseball Positions
Every position on a baseball diamond is harder than it looks, but they are not created equal.

NFL Championship Game History: Every Title, 1933-1969
Before the Super Bowl, there was the NFL Championship Game — the league’s title game from 1933 through 1969, played by the two division (later conference) winners for the right to be called world champions. It produced some of the sport’s most mythologized moments: the Bears’ 73-0 rout of Washington in 1940, the Colts’ overtime…

How a Medical Redshirt Works: NCAA Hardship Waiver
A “medical redshirt” is the informal name for what the NCAA calls a hardship waiver: a way for a player who loses most of a season to injury or illness to get that season of eligibility back. It’s distinct from a standard redshirt — which a player earns by choice by staying under four games…

College Football Eligibility Explained: 4 Seasons, 5 Years
College football eligibility used to be a simple sentence: four seasons of competition within five calendar years. It hasn’t been simple in a while. Between the four-game redshirt rule, the medical hardship waiver, the COVID-19 blanket year, the transfer portal, the graduate transfer exception, and a wave of lawsuits over junior-college years, the question “how…

Intentional Grounding: NFL vs. College Football Rules
Intentional grounding is the penalty for a quarterback throwing the ball away to avoid a sack when he isn’t allowed to — and the definition of “allowed to” is where the NFL and college football part ways. Both rulebooks agree on the principle: a passer facing pressure can’t just fling the ball into the dirt…

Touchback Rules: NFL vs. College Football
A touchback is what happens when a kick, punt, or turnover ends in the end zone without a return: the play is dead and the receiving team takes over on its own side of the field. It’s one of the most common outcomes in football and one of the least understood, because the spot where…

Fair Catch Rules: NFL vs. College Football
The fair catch is one of football’s oldest and simplest rules — a returner waves an arm overhead, catches the ball, and the play is dead where he caught it, with no contact allowed — and yet it has become one of the sport’s most consequential, because kickoff and punt rules have changed so much…

NFL Schedule Formula Explained: How All 17 Games Are Set
Every NFL team’s 17-game schedule is decided long before the schedule release show in May — in fact, 14 of the 17 opponents are locked in the moment the previous season’s standings are final. That’s because the league uses a fixed rotation formula: who you play is determined by your division, a rotating cross-divisional cycle,…

What Is QBR? ESPN’s Total Quarterback Rating Explained
Total QBR — usually just “QBR” — is ESPN’s quarterback rating system, introduced in 2011 as an answer to everything the traditional passer rating leaves out. Where passer rating looks at four passing stats and nothing else, QBR tries to measure a quarterback’s total contribution to winning: passing, rushing, sacks taken, fumbles, penalties drawn, and…
