The first three days of this week have flown by. I wonder how the days between now and when the Bears kick off on Sunday will go.
Cornerback Kyler Gordon wasn’t on the first Bears injury report of the week, which brough a smile and sense of relief. When healthy, Gordon is an impact defender who can cover in man and zone, help in run support, and occasionally blitz the quarterback. Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see much of Gordon this year because of a variety of injuries. And when he ...

Dante Moore announced yesterday that he will return to Oregon for his junior year. That made an already potentially thin quarterback class even thinner.

It was just one week ago, the Flyers were tied with Toronto heading into overtime. They had won three of their previous four games, and tried to take the second point in the extra session from the Maple Leafs. The overtime was highly entertaining, with Matvei Michkov and Sean Couturier having golden chances to end it. However, they didn’t. The Leafs went back down the ice and scored to win the game. It didn’t seem like a huge deal. Philadelphia gained a point. Onto the Lightning.
Well, we...

The San Francisco 49ers didn’t hold a practice yesterday, but did give out a participation list for their injured players, if there was an actual practice. The one name everyone was interested in seeing was wide receiver Ricky Pearsall. Kyle Shanahan labeled Pearsall as a “limited” participant in Tuesday’s walkthrough. Many viewed the label as […]

College athletes are busy. There is practice multiple times a week, conditioning, games of basketball that sometimes require traveling to the other side of the country, and, oh yeah, classes with homework.

We thought we knew Matt Brash—a slider-slinging, fastball-fueled thrill ride of dominance and destruction with the occasional meltdown thrown in to keep you on your toes. But after Tommy John surgery kept him out for the entire 2024 season, Brash flipped the script in 2025, using two new pitches to get steadier results. He’s no […]

Some times a tip is just enough. Just like that Ole Miss has gone from last in the SEC to tied for sixth with back-to-back important wins. The loss for Georgia dropped them 10 spots in the NET, down to 33. Ole Miss is inching their way back into relevance at 82, thanks to their […]

At the beginning of the off-season, it seemed very unlikely the Phillies would be able to sign a big-money free agent if they also brought back Kyle Schwarber. Of course, they ultimately secured the reigning NL MVP runner-up to a five-year, $150 million contract back in December. The chances of signing one of the other […]

In a somewhat unprecedented move Dante Moore, who was widely viewed as the consensus No. 2 pick in this year’s draft has, decided to forego declaring for the 2026 NFL draft and instead return to Oregon for his senior season. On the surface, the decision makes sense from a developmental standpoint. Moore has long been […]

Unfortunately for North Carolina, the story in Wednesday night’s game against Stanford was yet another defensive collapse in the second half.
