Syracuse vs New Hampshire Prediction: The Orange Get Their Main Man Back

Syracuse was great with quarterback Steve Angeli, and struggled after he got hurt. Now he's back, and Orange hope to roll against New Hampshire.

Update : Fire Davey Quicker

And Fire Rizzo.  And Sell the Team     Look I've been an advocate for Rizzo, who can deal with the best of them, and is perfectly acceptable at IDing long range contract targets (some bomb, some work out - that's just how it goes). But sticking by Davey here isn't about results or Davey's proven track record with kids (which doesn't exist), it's about keeping a guy who doesn't complain about the roster at all and works quietly with whatever he's given.  Rizzo bombed in...

Pelicans Make Big Moves and Face Bigger Questions

Tuesday was anything but quiet for the New Orleans Pelicans. In the span of a few hours, the franchise made a bold trade with the Indiana Pacers, securing a second first-round pick in this year’s NBA Draft, and then found itself back in the headlines for a much less celebratory reason: Dejounte Murray’s brutally honest […]

Monday Quickie - Fire Davey

Fire Davey.   The man can't help but blame the players and I don't want that type of guy leading this team.  Maybe a veteran team can ignore him or maybe he wouldn't dare anger those guys, but this isn't a veteran team. It's a team of kids and they need someone to support and shield them.   There are numerous reasons to fire the guy. His behavior this weekend pushes that all aside to get to number 1. Even if you landed on "well he won the series and changing the manage...

WTF: Rafael Devers Traded To Giants

The Boston Red Sox traded Rafael Devers to the San Francisco Giants on Sunday in exchange for pitchers Jordan Hicks and Kyle Harrison and a pair of prospects (outfielder James Tibbs III and pitcher Jose Bello). The teams had been discussing a Devers deal for the past few weeks. Devers, in his ninth season with the club, had been the last member of the 2018 World Champions still in a Boston uniform. He's also in the second year of a 10-year, $313.5 million contract. Initial news of the trade st...
