Jaylon Thompson talks to J.J. Picollo about the performance of Royals players at the World Baseball Classic. “Exactly what we witnessed was what you hope they get out of it,” Picollo said. “High-intensity games helps development. You kind of get to see how your players play in the big moments, and our guys did great. […]
This week included numerous notable performances. Priscilla Williams had a 44-point outburst and followed it up with a 25-20 game. Charlotte O’Keefe also had a 20-20 game as she had 22 points and 22 rebounds. Mia Nicastro came two points shy of consecutive 30-point double-doubles. Megan Nestor averaged 16 points and 16 boards, which included […]
a look at what Minnesota can offer
It’s awards season in the NFL and, unlike last year, the Philadelphia Eagles have just one contender to be formally recognized by The Associated Press. Philadelphia Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio is one of five finalists for AP NFL Assistant Coach of the Year. He’s joined by Minnesota Vikings defensive coordinator Brian Flores, Denver Broncos […]
Day 4 of the Chicago Bears offseason. It took all of four days for me to think “the intro part of this should be in bold-face type.” OK, we can dig into Bullets now that we’ve got that out of my system. ICYMI: Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson is up for the AP Coach of the Year award. The loaded field of finalists includes Mike Macdonald (Seahawks), Mike Vrabel (Patriots), Kyle Shanahan (49ers), and Liam Coen (Jaguars). If I had to power rank them based solely on this year’s perform...
To put a bow on the 2025-26 NFL season, we’re asking Jacksonville Jaguars fans for their picks on typical season-long awards — MVP, Rookie of the Year, Coach of the Year, etc. The league’s official awards will be announced at the 15th annual NFL Honors event on Feb. 5. Look to see who won Jaguars […]
There is a lot to like about the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-1 win over the Calgary Flames on Wednesday night. It was not only another workman-like win where they outplayed another opponent, but they did it without their top-two defenseman in Erik Karlsson and Kris Letang. Calgary might not be a particularly good team, but that […]
The Carolina Hurricanes will look to extend their winning streak to four games on Thursday night when they welcome the Chicago Blackhawks to the Lenovo Center. The Canes are coming off a wildly impressive three-games-in-four-days stretch that saw them pick off Florida, New Jersey and Buffalo in strong fashion. Carolina got two days off after […]
Orphaned after the collapse of Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis, Gary Antuanne Russell’s long-delayed WBA super lightweight title defense against Andy Hiraoka will join DAZN’s February 21st Mario Barrios vs Ryan Garcia show in Las Vegas. An Olympic standout who won his first 17 bouts inside the distance, Russell (18-1, 17 KO) has sadly inherited […]
Well, the first round of voting was a bit of a non-shocker. Shortstop Leo De Vries absolutely ran away with the top spot on this year’s Community Power Rankings, winning over 95% of the vote en route to being named the top prospect in the Athletics’ system by the fans. It comes as no surprise. […]
Rutgers men’s basketball is looking to rebound from its rough two-game road trip at home against Indiana on Friday. Despite playing two close games against good competition, such as Wisconsin and Iowa, the Scarlet Knights were unable to secure a win in either game. In this matchup, Rutgers will be looking to get one over […]
Taylor Rogers was one of the Cubs’ deadline acquisitions last year, and, although he’s long been an effective reliever, his role always felt pretty marginal with the Cubs. Candidly, as you can see up there, I never even had a good opportunity to retrieve a Rogers-in-Cubs-uniform image during his 17-appearance tenure with the team. Kinda telling. That isn’t to say the trade, which sent outfield prospect Ivan Brethowr to the Pirates, was a dud for the Cubs. It was a fine move on paper, it w...
Indiana football’s top cornerback is heading to the NFL. D’Angelo Ponds, on the heels of the Hoosiers’ win in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game, said he plans on declaring for the 2026 NFL Draft on Thursday during an appearance at Raising Cane’s in Bloomington, per Zach Osterman of the Indianapolis Star. Ponds was […]
As he publicly praised 'Heated Rivalry,' one 'Empty Netters' host privately trashed the show. Outsports has seen the texts. The post Empty Netters host privately called Heated Rivalry ‘trash,’ show creators ‘losers’ and ‘cowards’ appeared first on Outsports .
Not a lot of Pacers fans chatting on the game thread. Always good to beat the teams you are supposed to beat. For the most part the Pacers fans didn't trash their own players or the Celtics, so that was nice. I really hate seeing fans trash all their own players. Sad though that they have to cheer for losses. I'm really glad the Celtics didn't go the tanking route. My favorites are in bold. What are yours? we win this one right?...
There are a lot of perks that come with being an NBA player, the money, the lifestyle, and getting paid to play basketball. But one thing you really can’t put a price on is earning the respect of a legend. And that’s exactly where Josh Giddey finds himself right now. The Chicago Bulls guard has not only carved out a major role this season, but he’s also picked up a high-profile admirer in… Allen Iverson! Being endorsed by a former MVP and Hall of Famer isn’t something you stumble into; it...
Tyree Hill is on social media again with another comment that some see as pointing to a future somewhere other than the Miami Dolphins.
If it felt like deja vu watching Syracuse start strong then fade down the stretch, that’s because it was the same story as last game (and like watching Jim Boeheim’s final season). The Orange failed to take advantage of a struggling opponent and collapsed down the stretch for a second-straight loss. Let’s get to the […]
Two games isn’t enough time in the NHL to make conclusions about anything. Be that as it may, I’m still going to go against that logical conclusion today. Prior to embarking on their Western Canada (and Seattle) road trip, the New Jersey Devils decided to insert recent call-up Lenni Hameenaho into their lineup. He was […]
Ten Fourteen Eighteen B1G Things The Rundown Washington rides the ponies! And then Demond threatens to transfer, remembers —or was reminded— that he signed a contract, and decides to come back. Oregon gets the Penn State treatment Beat a G5 team? Check. Beat a Big 12 team? Check. Lose in the semis? Check. The difference […]
The Colorado Avalanche lost a game in a shootout yet again last night, but long before that, it was clear that the Avalanche weren’t exactly locked into a highly intense contest. Lukas Dostal had a great game and nearly secured the shutout if not for a one-timed beauty from Artturi Lehkonen late in the contest. […]
The Houston Rockets’ third-ranked offensive attack hinges heavily on their ability to outmuscle opponents on the offensive glass. Houston’s 16.1 offensive rebounds pace the league. And their 18.8 second-chance points also leads the league. Unsurprisingly, the Rockets have four players that rank in the top-25 in offensive rebounds, in Steven Adams, Alperen Sengun, Amen Thompson […]
We’ve known for some time that the Hillsborough College (HC) Dale Mabry site was the leading candidate for a potential Tampa Rays stadium, and on Tuesday the HC board unanimously approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) authorizing the college to pursue a partnership with the Rays. Now, thanks to Neil deMause of Field of Schemes, […]
The 2025 season was TCU’s second under defensive coordinator Andy Avalos. The Horned Frogs fared well to stop the pass last season, but run defense was another issue. TCU allowed 160.5 rushing yards and 4.2 yards per carry, making the Horned Frogs one of the worst run defenses in the Big 12. Would that improve […]
The summer transfer window now extends into September.
Getting more Chicago Cubs games on exclusive national broadcasts in the current environment is sometimes a mixed bag. On the one hand, it means the games sometimes get time-shifted, don’t feature our home broadcast crew, and may appear on a streamer that not everyone has. On the other hand, it means the games are available for some folks to watch who might not otherwise have Marquee, and, in theory, it can be some nice additional exposure for the team and the players. That’s especially ni...
