When a team that is 2 games below .500 is on a 3-game losing streak and facing two games against a pair of conference foes, each with a 5-2 record, there’s really no silver lining, and “must win” no longer has much meaning. It’s usually too late; the team is a dead man walking. If […]
Thursday’s Saints vs. Rams injury report A petrifying list of injuries that hopefully can have fewer names by Sunday Report: Saints seeking high price in trade talks for starting offensive lineman After a chilling start to the season, moving on from one of the team’s starters makes sense.

That’s right folks. Normally this article goes live on Thursday, but I found the exercise futile as Chambliss was not in the game and Kewan Lacy was severely underrated.

The Bears found themselves in unfamiliar territory as they rode the wave of a 4-game winning streak entering a matchup with the struggling Baltimore Ravens this past week.

The Detroit Lions (5-2) and Minnesota Vikings (3-4) will square off in a Week 9 NFC North battle at Ford Field. This will be the first of two times these teams will face off this year (they will meet again in Week 17), and represents the Lions’ third NFC North game of the season. “The […]
When the Steelers’ schedule came out, you’d have been forgiven if you saw this Colts game wedged in between a stretch that includes two Bengals games, the Packers, and the Chargers, and thought it would give the team a bit of respite. You’d have been silly, considering the Colts beat the Steelers just a year […]

The past three seasons, Nebraska has won the team title. This season, the #2-ranked Huskers are the heavy favorites to win another team title […]
The Minnesota Twins announced Derek Shelton as manager yesterday. So, it’s a good time to look at the last four MN baseball skippers and see how they fared in Year 1. Surprisingly, the results have been almost exclusively positive in my lifetime (1985+)… Tom Kelly Ron Gardenhire Paul Molitor Rocco Baldelli The four newest Twins […]
Meet the Mets Danny Abriano considers whether or not the Mets should try to sign Ranger Suárez, who’s spent his entire career with the Phillies thus far, in free agency.

The New York Knicks and the Chicago Bulls will get their NBA Cup campaigns underway today, and I’m not sure if these two teams could be coming into Friday night’s opener on more opposing trajectories. The Knicks, who entered the season as one of two teams expected to make the finals out of the Eastern […]
The World Series has returned to Canada, and the Blue Jays are hoping that tonight will be the end of a drought that has lasted over thirty years. Things seemed somewhat lost for the Jays for a brief period, but they have turned things around, winning the last two games, and are now within one […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The 2025 World Series continues between the Toronto Blue Jays and Los Angeles Dodgers tonight, with the series moving back to Toronto for Game 6. The Blue Jays have taken the series lead, 3-2, which is just phenomenal news. I’m not usually one to root against a Game 7, but in […]
I know this isn’t the usual type of thing we start with, but it’s for a good cause: Denny Matthews is getting married! Matthews and three “best men” – his brothers Doug, Steve and Mike – will be in Royals jerseys with their names and favorite numbers on the back. Amy and her three best […]
The spookiest day of the year is here, and baseball is still ongoing. The Toronto Blue Jays are one win away from taking home their third World Series title and their first since the 1993 season, when they won back-to-back championships after defeating the Philadelphia Phillies in a six-game series. With Game 6 between the […]

We don’t necessarily put up a post for minor league signings, but this one probably has a little more relevance than most. The Tigers and veteran backstop Tomás Nido have agreed on a new minor league deal for the 2026 season. Nido’s defensive abilities and experience make him a pretty good third option, both to […]
