A round-up of stories in the OVC this week

In a conference that has taken some time to rebuild in the past few years with the recent departures of Murray State and Belmont, the Ohio Valley Conference is starting to see some real success again with road wins against some high-quality opponents to begin the season. In Jeremy Shulman we trust… The UT Martin […]

Mets designate Frankie Montas for assignment

The Mets have designated Frankie Montas for assignment, the team announced this afternoon. The Mets signed Montas last offseason to a two-year, $34 million contract in order to bolster the rotation, but his stint in Queens did not play out how he or the Mets envisioned. After his first bullpen of spring training back in […]

Penguins waive Philip Tomasino

The Penguins waived forward Philip Tomasino today. The timing of the move is curious, the Pens only have 12 healthy forwards without Tomasino, after putting Ville Koivunen on IR and calling up Sam Poulin from the AHL. The end result is not that surprising, Tomasino has been a frequent healthy scratch and only averaged 12:10 […]

Jaguars shoot back up NFL power rankings entering Week 12

As we’ve seen firsthand over the past 10 days, the NFL is a week-to-week league. The Jaguars experienced the lowest of lows in Week 10 when Davis Mills and the rival Texans scored 26 fourth quarter points to complete a historic comeback. Then the script was flipped on Sunday when Jacksonville won by 29 points […]

Is it time to start talking about Alex Bump?

Alex Bump is coming off of another productive weekend for the Phantoms. The team has just come off their firs three-in-three of the season, and while it wasn’t a perfect showing from them on a collective level, it’s one that saw a number of flashy performances from a number of the top prospects in their mix, with Bump chief among them.

The Day After 21.0: Concerning trends becoming big issue for Oilers

One step forward, two steps back. Welcome to the 2025-26 Edmonton Oilers. A poor start to the season continued Monday night as the Oilers couldn’t muster a whimper against the 29th-ranked Buffalo Sabres, losing 5-1. A “scheduled loss” some have called it, but nobody can say it with a straight face. For as many stinkers…

Cubs walkoff heroes: Joe Girardi, Aug. 7, 2001

This game had some crazy things happen, and not all on the field. Joe Girardi, who wasn’t hitting much around that time, was just a pinch-hitter as he walked this game off. Let’s begin at the beginning. The Cubs entered this day with a 63-47 record and led the NL Central by 1.5 games over […]

Amazing Yoshinobu Yamamoto

Inspiration. I was amazed at 130 pitches by Yoshinobu Yamamoto in the last two games of the World Series.  It reminded me of 121 pitches by Randy Johnson in the last two games of the 2001 World Series. Lee (my pickleball partner) and I talked about the final game of the World Series.  Lee said […]

Stock up, stock down: Bears-Vikings review

It feels so foreign to have the Chicago Bears be good. Or at least winning. They were losing so often, for so long, I forgot what this is like. Each week, it feels like another poor record from recent years is getting broken. For example, Ben Johnson has more road wins as the Bears’ head […]

Could J.J. McCarthy eventually be the Rams’ next reclamation project?

Unless Matthew Stafford stumbles off a cliff, the Los Angeles Rams won’t be in the market for a new quarterback anytime soon. However, whenever the need for a new signal caller arrives, could J.J. McCarthy one day become Sean McVay’s next QB reclamation project? It’s entirely possible, as McCarthy has had a rough start to […]

You’re Nuts: Which Ohio State athlete deserves a statue next?

The Jerry Lucas statue was unveiled on Friday outside the Schottenstein Center. During his time at Ohio State, Lucas was a member of the men’s basketball team that won the national championship in 1960. Lucas was a three-time All-American and was named National Player of the Year in 1961 and 1962. After graduating from Ohio […]
