Allow me to get my recantation out of the way forthwith. Then we can move on. Mingling in the Commentariat, as I always do, I have joined recent exuberance in the threads as Coach Pat Kelsey has been piecing together next campaign’s fascinating roster.

The Miami Hurricanes and Notre Dame Fighting Irish were can’t-miss television last year. And with the drama that went down last college football season and the way both teams’ respective seasons ended, it will be again when the teams meet in 2026. As such, it’s no surprise that the Hurricanes and Irish will meet in […]

The San Francisco 49ers are well-equipped with cap space, holding over $70 million currently, according to OverTheCap, easily the most of any team in the NFL.

Last week, the Minnesota Vikings hosted former San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings for a free agent visit that lasted a couple of days and appeared to be a good fit for both parties involved. Jennings left Minnesota without a deal, and everything has been fairly quiet since then. There may be a reason […]

Ted Turner left an impact on the city of Atlanta that will forever be remembered through the Atlanta Hawks organization.
Ho hum, anyone see anything interesting on Wednesday night? With all due respect to the 2016 Cubs, this team is becoming the most “must watch” Cub team of my lifetime. That ‘16 team was a rampaging juggernaut. But that was like sitting down and watching Michelangelo bang out a work of art. You expected them […]
Worcester: L, 7-9 (F/10) (BOX SCORE) The biggest story out of this topsy-turvy game was that Justin Slaten, a couple days removed from his opener in Portland, made another rehab start and struck out two, including Oswaldo Cabrera, while allowing a hit and walking a batter in his inning of work. He also retired Anthony […]
It is said that a leopard can’t change its spots. Change is a necessary part of success as a ballplayer, and thus, leopards do not play baseball (please note, per the Air Bud clause, that this is not technically banned). Bryson Stott cannot be suspected of being a leopard in disguise, despite his cat-like swiftness, […]
Right on the heels of the NCAA Basketball Tournament expansion, the American Football Coaches Association announced some schedule changes in anticipation of the College Football Playoff expanding.

For years, the relationship between the Mountain West and the Pac-12 has lived somewhere between regional kinship and identity crisis; neighbors separated not just by geography, but by perception. Now, with both leagues navigating uncertain futures and evolving reputations, the question deserves more than surface-level debate. So, should the Mountain West and Pac-12 schedule more […]
Let’s say right away that none of it matters without wins on the field. For all the words of positivity and affirmation that we can heap upon the Dallas Cowboys, without results on the football field they ring hollow and remind us that it has been 30 years since they won big. Everyone understands this. […]

Ever since Travis Hunter’s rookie season ended due to a non-contact knee injury during the bye week, there have been some wild assumptions made about his future on-field usage. He wasn’t lighting the league on fire on offense or defense, and since he’s already missed half of a season, he should just play on one […]
Valverde has denied reports of a physical fight with Tchouaméni after suffering a head injury during a heated dressing room argument at Real Madrid ahead of El Clasico.
Both this season and last, there’s been lots of focus on whether we’d make the playoffs. Whether we’d ‘sneak in’ on the final day, be ‘in and around’ the playoffs for the new season or be able to ‘get back in contention’ over the final few weeks. And eventually, a sense that, although ‘at one […]
Nothing about the 2025-26 Pittsburgh Penguins went as anybody expected it to go. When offseason began early in the summer of 2025, there was a belief that the team would not only be bad, but that it would be one of the worst teams in the NHL. There was a common theme nationally that there […]
Italian Defender In The Sights Reports in Italy claim Sunderland are tracking Parma’s Argentine defender Mariano Troilo, with the Black Cats said to be in discussions with the player’s entourage to ‘gather information and understand any room to manoeuvre’.
