Today, the Portland Thorns have announced that they have signed USWNT midfielder Olivia Moultrie to a three-year extension through 2029. Before the new contract, her contract was set to expire after the 2026 season. “Portland isn’t just where I play, it’s home,” Moultrie said. “The community, fans, energy at Providence Park, it’s all part of […]
Sorry about the lack of preview today, folks — got our wires crossed as to who was taking what, much like the mid-October Bruins in their own zone. Some quick hits: Other than that…discuss.
MESA, Arizona — I attended the Mesa Solar Sox game Sunday at Sloan Park. Like most AFL games, many attendees were family members of friends of the players and scouts. There were a few of us there who were just plain ol’ baseball fans wanting to get more of the sport after the World Series […]
Shohei Ohtani is amazing. For years, I refused to see the light. I didn’t care that he hit and he pitched. I thought that his value was diminished because he didn’t play in the field four out of every five games. Wrongly, I believed he should be docked points, or value, or acclaim, because he […]
According to The Athletic’s Chris Waugh, Wilson has been auditing the contract lengths and terms across the first team since his arrival last month. While Newcastle remain in a strong position regarding Sandro Tonali’s long-term deal — which quietly runs through 2029 with an option for 2030 — attention has now shifted to senior figures […]
We have a first in NFL history: a suspension due to repeated violations of the “hip-drop tackle.” The final straw was a tackle on the Seattle Seahawks’ superstar Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Washington Commanders linebacker Frankie Luvu has been ruled out for Week 10 against the Detroit Lions for this third infraction, although not a single one […]
Drew Smith, the longtime Mets reliever who signed a $1m contract for the 2025 season with a $2m club option for 2026, is set to be a free agent after the Mets declined the option, the team announced today. Smith, who is now 32, has been in the organization since 2017, when he was acquired […]
Happy NFL Trade Deadline Day! I hope the Chicago Bears are active. But I also hope they don’t do anything stupid or regrettable. Today is such a tough day to navigate. Balancing the sentiment of “yeah, it would be cool to give this team a boost because they play hard and have been fun” with the voice in the back of my head giving me the “be careful what you wish for” treatment isn’t easy. I’d like to see the Bears front office add a starting-caliber cornerback and help off the edge with...
Tony Elliott and his Virginia Cavaliers seemingly can’t lose. No matter how the first three (or four) quarters unfold, the ‘Hoos keep finding ways to pull out wins late in games. On Saturday, they dominated Cal for most of the game, out-gaining them 456 yards to 263 and forcing the Golden Bears onto the back […]
Husky hoops is back, and the football team hits the road coming off their bye. To the dots! Basketball Dots: Football Dots:
Conventional wisdom has it that after a coach is fired, the team goes into doldrums, plays worse, begins looking for their next destination; you face a dispirited lot. Like so much conventional wisdom, it happens to be wrong. I analyze every game, for every team, every week, and have done so for 13 years now. […]
The Las Vegas Raiders relationship with No. 1 wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has ended as they have reportedly traded him to the Jacksonville Jaguars Tuesday, hours ahead of the NFL trade deadline. The Raiders will reportedly get fourth and sixth-round picks back in 2026 for their top receiver. Meyers asked to be traded in August […]
They call this one the “defense is extremely optional” box score. Both teams played defense, in that they sent players onto the field to do stuff when they didn’t have the ball, but did they accomplish anything? No, no not really. Georgia Tech, for example, stopped just two of NC State’s 32 rushing attempts at […]
Hello. We are back for another edition of pro and con regarding one of the Pittsburgh Penguins youngest players. A couple of weeks ago we looked into the pros and cons of keeping both Ben Kindel and Harrison Brunicke in the NHL this season beyond nine games, and Kindel made that decision pretty easy for […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers have long been rumored to be interested in trading for Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers. However, the 1,000-yard receiver will not end up in a Steelers uniform. Instead, the Raiders have shipped him to the Jacksonville Jaguars. “Raiders are trading WR Jakobi Meyers to the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for […]
At 5-4 and firmly in the hunt, for the moment, for a playoff berth, the 2025 Carolina Panthers are ahead of schedule. That makes the pressure of today’s 4:00 PM ET trade deadline all the more attractive. General manager Dan Morgan and head coach Dave Canales were hired to fix one of the worst teams […]
The trade deadline is only a couple of hours away, and the Ravens still have work to do before 4 pm hits. Baltimore made a great move yesterday by trading for Tennessee Titans edge rusher Dre’Mont Jones. While he isn’t a massive name and may not move the needle singlehandedly, he is exactly what the […]
The Atlanta Falcons are on their third kicker of the 2025 campaign. Per NFL insider Mike Garafolo, the team has brought on kicker Zane Gonzalez. The veteran spent part of 2024 with the Washington Commanders, hitting 5 of 7 field goal tries and all 19 extra point attempts, but had previously not kicked in an […]
The Kansas City Chiefs’ climb up the power rankings over the last month comes to a screeching halt heading into Week 10 and the team’s bye week. The 28-21 loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 9 was accounted for by all power rankings, leading to a drop for the Chiefs in every site’s newest […]
The Philadelphia Flyers were riding high and off to a better-than-expected start to their 2025-26 season. They were winning hockey games, some key players were scoring timely goals, and everything seemed fine. Then a double dose of misfortunes hit Philadelphia: A weekend with two big losses that sunk them down to the bottom of the Eastern Conference, and winger Tyson Foerster going down with a fluke lower-body injury thanks to him blocking a shot. Foerster was placed on injured reserve ba...
The NFL season is half over, with nine weeks in the books. Several Scarlet Knights, particularly Kyle Monangai, hit their stride in week 9 and turned some heads in the process. Here are all the former Rutgers players and their accomplishments in Week 9. RB Kyle Monangai: After a slow start to the season, Kyle […]
The Celtics really did look like they were tanking that game. No effort on the boards, no energy and terrible shooting. For guys who are good shooters, it's hard to believe that they are all shooting that badly. Sad to see that most of them don't like Will Hardy. Even Jazz fans saw that the trip on Jaylen was a bad no call. That list of AJ, Brown and Tatum makes losing look very tempting. But, the lottery has not usually been kind to the Celtics and I wouldn...
The Chargers moved to 6-3 with a 27-20 win over the Titans in Week Nine. Ahead of their bye in Week 12, they have a primetime game against the Steelers (Sunday Night Football) and dates with the Jaguars and Raiders. Let’s go ahead and see where the Chargers landed this week amongst the media’s various […]
The Carolina Hurricanes (7-4-0) are in the “Big Apple” to do battle with the New York Rangers (6-5-2) on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden. Game time is 7 p.m. These two teams seem to be on opposite paths as the Rangers have won three straight after a slow start where the Canes have lost […]
Another Chicago basketball team started its season on the right foot. Facing off against Cleveland State University on their home court, Loyola-Chicago walked away with a tight 91-88 victory on Monday night. The Ramblers found themselves inbounding the ball along the baseline with 2.6 seconds left on the clock. As the ref blew the whistle and handed Justin Moore the ball, guard Deywilk Tavarez hustled along the perimeter to the strong side corner. Moore quickly fed him the ball. Tava...
