For years New England has been scrutinized for Spygate and Deflategate. However, Lasergate isn’t being talked about. What’s Lasergate? It’s when in the AFC Championship game a fan shined a laser in Tom Brady’s face on multiple occasions.

Jalen Hurts to Oklahoma will be a must watch
Quarterback Jalen Hurts went 26-and-2 as a starter for the Alabama Crimson Tide and put Alabama in a position to play for two consecutive National Titles.

While Hurts has established an impressive legacy in college football, his greatest chapter could be written next season. I talk about the impact that Hurts could have in the explosive Oklahoma offense and why a redemption game with Alabama could well be within reach.
