Opponent Preview: Iowa State Cyclones

The Cyclones appear to have made landfall at the midway point of the season, and have since lost much of their momentum gathered on the front of their schedule. We’ve come a long way from their triumph in Ireland over K-State and for a short time it looked like that matchup was deciding the Big […]

Wild Humbled Further With 4-3 Loss to Hurricanes

That's Wild It seemed like no matter what the Minnesota Wild were able to throw in the direction of the Carolina Hurricanes during their collision on Thursday night, the home team was able to solve it and throw it right back at them. In the 4-3 loss that has now earned them a 5-7-3 record fo...

Sunderland vs Arsenal: Stay Grounded Amid Hype

To state the obvious, Arsenal have many players who can change a game in an instant, a rock-solid defence, and an exceptional set-piece conversion record. It’ll be difficult to get a result against them on Saturday — there’s little point getting too down about it, or wallowing in post-mortems after the event; it is what […]

Throwback Dawg Day: Steamrolling State

History was made by Georgia with its 1997 win over Mississippi State. The 47-0 victory was its first SEC shutout since 1982, and it also still stands as the largest margin of victory in series history. The Dawgs indeed had a big day, as Mike Bobo passed for 257 yards and Robert Edwards rushed for […]

Should Matthew Golden be producing more?

There’s a lot of ink being spilled about whether or not Matthew Golden, the Green Bay Packers’ first-round pick, is being used correctly due to “his lack of production” through the first half of his rookie NFL season. Are those expectations realistic, though? I want to take a look at that today. So far in […]

Duck Tape: Film Analysis of Iowa Football 2025

Special thanks to Tom Kakert of Hawkeye Report for discussing Iowa’s roster with me on this week’s podcast: Offense The years I’ve been charting Iowa’s offense starting in 2021 represent a local dip and then recovery to the longterm baseline under head coach Ferentz, and talking to Tom for my Summer previews of the Hawkeyes […]

Seahawks add preseason tight end to practice squad

The Seattle Seahawks have tweaked their practice squad a bit ahead of their Week 10 game with the Arizona Cardinals. Undrafted rookie free agent tight end Marshall Lang, who was brought in this offseason alongside current 53-man roster player Nick Kallerup, has been added to the practice squad as of Thursday. Starting tight end A.J. […]

Austin Nola was a typical veteran backup catcher cameo

Welcome to the 2025 edition of Ranking the Rockies, where we take a look back at every player to log playing time for the Rockies in 2025. The purpose of this list is to provide a snapshot of the player in context. The “Ranking” is an organizing principle that’s drawn from Baseball Reference’s WAR (rWAR). […]

Brandon Sproat had a semi-effective 2025 cup of coffee

Thanks to a 2024 season that saw him post a 1.07 ERA in 25.1 innings with High-A Brooklyn, a 2.45 ERA in 62.1 innings with Double-A Binghamton, and a 7.53 ERA in 28.2 innings with Triple-A Syracuse, Amazin’ Avenue ranked Brandon Sproat the Mets top prospect coming into the 2025 season. Far from a slam […]

5 Questions with Canal Street Chronicles

Now that the Super Bowl favorite* Carolina Panthers are expected to easily—almost effortlessly—expand their winning record against the New Orleans Saints (up to -5.5 favorites on FanDuel this morning), I thought it would be gracious to allow a fan of the 1-8 Saints to explain their situation from their perspective. To that end, Nic Jennings […]

Sorry, Coach…The Boat Is On Fire

In his post-game presser following an embarrassing home loss to the Pelicans, Head Coach Jason Kidd claimed the Dallas Mavericks’ offensive struggles were just “missed open shots”—a cold streak that would soon thaw. But eight games into 2025–26, the numbers and the film agree on something harsher: the Mavericks aren’t just cold. They’re uncreative. Fast […]

Cubs free agent target: Dylan Cease

Perhaps some of you would view a Cubs signing of Dylan Cease as something that would “right a wrong” — that is, Cease was a major part of the deal that brought José Quintana to the Cubs, and Quintana generally wasn’t very good on the North Side, while Cease went on to have some very […]

2025 Season in Review: Noah Cameron

Heading into the 2025 season, most people who followed the Kansas City Royals’ minor leagues expected that the team would call up Noah Cameron at some point. The 2024 Royals starting rotation was extremely healthy, and there was bound to be some negative regression on the injury front. Cameron, a native of St. Joe, had […]
