March Madness was great when smaller schools could keep veteran teams together and grow into dangerous Cinderella stories, but NIL and the transfer portal have wrecked that formula. The best players now get plucked away by bigger programs, the parity is disappearing, and the tournament should stop pretending it is still built on the old magic.

The Mueller Report was buried beneath one of the most effective propaganda campaigns in modern American politics, reduced to a meme and a punchline so millions would dismiss it without ever reading it. But the actual report showed sweeping Russian interference, plenty of smoke around collusion, and real flames on obstruction—evidence that was mocked, minimized, and politically buried while the country paid the price.

Annie Andrews is giving Democrats something they rarely have in South Carolina: a credible challenger with real momentum. Her odds have jumped from roughly 9% in early February to around 21% by late March, and with Democrats continuing to overperform in special elections and polling, Lindsey Graham suddenly looks more vulnerable than he has in years.

Michigan has been the most talented and complete team in the country all season, and with Dusty May’s coaching, the nation’s best defense, eight capable scorers and playmakers, and an ideal tournament path, the Wolverines have everything needed to finish the year with a national championship.

UCF has enough guard play and three-point shooting to make UCLA uncomfortable early, but with Tyler Bilodeau and Donovan Dent back at full strength and the Bruins playing some of their best basketball of the season, UCLA should gradually pull away and cover the number.

Arizona has become the public’s pick to win the national championship thanks to its 32-2 record, elite seven-man rotation, and massive betting support, but with that spotlight comes pressure, as anything short of a Final Four run will bring real criticism to Tommy Lloyd and the Wildcats.

After being snubbed from the College Football Playoff, Notre Dame enters 2027 with a “Leave No Doubt” mindset, a favorable schedule, a rising star in CJ Carr, an elite defense, and the kind of stability under Marcus Freeman that makes the Irish the team to beat.

The Dodgers are talented enough to win 105 games or more, but with their entire season focused on winning a third straight World Series, the most logical bet is under 102.5 because health, rest, and October readiness will matter more than squeezing out every possible regular-season win.
