Each Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. Levack and I discuss the most confusing sports stories in a segment simply called "WHY?!". It could be a coaching decision, a team, a player movement or something else. Each week we are presented with a story that has happened in the past week in sports and we have to figure out why the event has occurred.

Why is the New York Giants offense continuing to struggle?
