Fitting with the day-to-day designation he was given, the Sixers injury report lists Joel Embiid (ankle sprain, hip soreness) as questionable for Friday’s Game 3 of their second round series against the Knicks. With Philly down 2-0 in the series to New York, things shift to South Philadelphia for Games 3 and 4 this weekend. […]
Batting Average on Balls in Play is a stat that’s about as objective mathematically as can be. The fine folks at FanGraphs provide this concise explanation of the metric. The basics are this: when a batter puts a bat on the ball and it ends up in the field of play, how often does said […]

Before the start of the 2024-25 NHL season, Bill Guerin declared his belief that Matt Boldy could be a 50-goal/50-assist player. The breakout didn't arrive last year, despite the Minnesota Wild forward scoring a career-high 73 points. Still, the big, faster-than-you-think, skilled winger has always...

We had heard in the days leading up to the trade deadline that pending unrestricted free agent Corey Perry wanted to stay in L.A. He did not want to be a trade deadline casualty and was willing and hoping to sign an extension for next season. The Kings seemed to be on board with that. But then, seemingly out of the blue, Perry was traded at the 11th hour, just before the deadline hit last Friday, to the Tampa Bay Lightning . So what happened? According to insider David Pagnot...
What a week for the Las Vegas Raiders. First, Maxx Crosby gets traded to the Baltimore Ravens, then John Spytek makes a few big signings during the early stages of free agency, and, all of a sudden, the Ravens are backing out of the Crosby trade. It feels like it’s impossible for the Raiders to […]
Ohio State’s tight end room has quietly become one of the deepest position groups on the roster. In recent seasons the Buckeyes have used a rotation of tight ends to balance blocking responsibilities, play-action threats, and situational versatility. That depth often means some players contribute without drawing much attention. One of those players is Nate […]
The Edmonton Oilers and Dallas Stars helped each other out on Tuesday night. Now, they’re at odds again. Despite losing a forward, defenceman, and goaltender, the Oilers gutted out a 4-3 win against the Stars’ rival Colorado. So, the Stars returned the favour and defeated the Vegas Golden Knights 2-1. For the Oilers, it put…
You certainly won’t complain about two World Championships since 2017, but it feels like for the villain status the Houston Astros have accrued since that time that they would have more. The Dodgers may have eclipsed the Astros in 2025 as the chief bad guys of MLB, but I’ll always appreciate that Houston seemed to […]

We have reached the endgame, friends. This will be the week where the cuts are made, where some options are picked up, where some decisions are made and the Phillies’ initial roster of 2026 is created. Some of these possibly logjams have been taken care of already thanks to decisions to ingest things against the […]
As our own Justis Mosqueda wrote yesterday, the Green Bay Packers have until Friday (that’s tomorrow as I sit down with my morning coffee to write this) to make a decision on kicker Brandon McManus. Without parroting the entire article here, I’ll just clarify that that is because McManus is due a $1 million bonus […]
Let’s just get this right out of the way right out of the gate: As long as all five Opening Day starters don’t hit the 60-Day IL at some point during this season like they did during the 2025 season, this rotation should be fine and will be improved over what we saw last season. […]
While most of the sports media attention in March is focused on basketball, the month is a big one for soccer as well. International soccer leagues are right in the thick of their seasons right now, and the MLS has recently just started to kick off. As we count down the days before the 2026 […]
The North Carolina Tar Heels take the court in the ACC Tournament for the first time tonight at 9:30 PM. Carolina takes on fellow charter ACC member Clemson in the quarterfinals.

Week 5 of the 2026 season is in the books, and conference play is about to start in the Mountain West Conference. It was a week filled with redemption for some teams, disappointment for the majority of them, and for one unfortunate squad, a stretch of seemingly never-ending misery. Let’s see how every team in […]

Roughly three days into free agency, the Jets are already starting to look like a different team. Since Monday’s unofficial start of free agency, they’ve made a number of moves and brought in several new players. Now that the first wave has passed, it’s worth stepping back and trying to understand what the Jets might […]
The first few days of free agency have been fairly quiet for the Minnesota Vikings, so you wouldn’t think there would be a whole lot in the way of “winners” and “losers.” However, we do have enough data to determine a couple in each category, so let’s go ahead and take a quick look at […]
At an Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting in the Riyadh Air Metropolitano on Thursday, Apollo Sports Capital officially became the majority shareholder of Atlético de Madrid following a “reorganization of the entity’s significant shareholdings.” This has brought an end to 34 years of majority ownership by the Gil family. “It is an honor for Apollo Sports […]
The Philadelphia Flyers have long been known for getting under the opposition’s skin. Whether it was players like Travis Konecny or Wayne Simmonds stirring the pot, the Flyers have almost always had someone willing to irritate the other team. This season, that role appears to belong to Nikita Grebenkin.
