How the Seahawks defense can beat the regression trend in 2026

The only thing harder than climbing to the top is staying there. The conversations that the Seattle Seahawks will struggle to continue their success have already started. Yet there’s one piece of evidence that I’d like to flip on its head. Seattle finished 2025 with the best scoring defense and best defense by DVOA. According […]

Three takeaways from UNC’s loss to NC State

Going into last night’s game, we all knew that there was a decent chance that NC State could upset the Tar Heels. Some of that was because Henri Veesaar and Caleb Wilson were out, but also, if we’re being honest with ourselves, it is because the rest of the team is inconsistent. That inconsistency doomed […]

The Good Phight’s Community Prospect list: #16 – Dylan Campbell

Last January, the Dodgers were chasing Roki Sasaki and needed more international signing bonus money. That led them to utilizing their deep farm system to trade Dylan Campbell to the Phillies in return for some of that international money. Now the Phillies have an interesting prospect.

Are the Dodgers done adding players?

We are nearly at the point where we get to watch the Dodgers play actual games, with the exhibition slate starting this Saturday. Timelines over the last week-plus have been inundated with the sights and sounds from spring training, from backfield workouts to clubhouse speeches. The Dodgers already brought back two of the players most […]

Will there be a 2026 WNBA season at all?

In early February, we would normally write about which Washington Mystics players re-sign, which players go elsewhere and what trades happen. This offseason was supposed to be the biggest offseason ever. And it is. But to this point, it’s mostly because of the CBA negotiations between the WNBA and the WNBPA where there hasn’t been […]

As Tyson Fury gets ready to unretire once more and continue his heavyweight run, he tells Ring Magazine that despite his two losses to Oleksandr Usyk, it’ll be Usyk who will come crawling back to him in hopes of making a third fight before the year is out.

In-person meeting with your favorite Browns player

Cleveland Browns fans are the best fans in the NFL. Full stop. Through ups and downs, Browns fans have held close to their team, their hopes, their gear, their players, and their history. Dawgs by Nature (and Nurture), Cleveland fans have been through more than most sports followers. Losing their team, getting it back but […]

40 in 40: Jhonny Pereda is correct

In Hebrew, the verb חָנַן‎ means to have grace, compassion, or mercy. It’s difficult to capture the pronunciation in English because for the first sound, the best we have for it is ch, but it’s not like chat or child. It’s that throat-clearing thing like in chutzpah. So the transliteration of חָנַן‎ is chanan, even […]

BYB 2026 Tigers prospect reports #31: 3B Nestor Miranda

We lamented the Detroit Tigers lack of success in the international free agent market in our Roberto Campos report, but there is another wave coming. Josue Briceño, consensus top 100 prospect, leads the way, along with young pitching prospect Kelvis Salcedo, but the Tigers do have some interesting young IFA signings that will be playing […]

One roster cut the Chiefs should make right now

Over The Cap has a slightly more favorable number at $54,910,166. On Wednesday morning, some of that pressure was relieved with an unsurprising report […]

Your Oregon Ducks played host to the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Tuesday night, looking to keep the momentum going after getting their 2nd win of 2026 in their last game against Penn State.

What are your thoughts on the NBC Sports Boston crew? (daily topic)

Cheers to commentor 1130PAR for suggesting this topic. Keep ‘em coming! We Celtics fanatics consume a ridiculous volume of Boston Celtics content and the large majority of the game coverage is fed to us by NBC Sports Boston as the Regional Sports Network for the team. So much so that they become like part of […]
