Last offseason, the San Francisco 49ers’ objective was to get younger. When you draft fifth-year seniors, they kinda are who they are.

Pending free agents Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne are likely headed elsewhere, while Brandon Aiyuk’s return […]
Earlier this month, the Kansas City Chiefs hired DeMarco Murray as running backs coach. The former first-team All-Pro and 2014’s NFL rushing yards leader previously held the same position at Oklahoma, his alma mater. Head coach Andy Reid discussed the new coaching staff addition when he spoke to reporters on Friday. He sees Murray’s six-year […]
Eventually the dam broke on Marquette women’s lacrosse last time out against Northwestern. It was bound to happen, that’s what happens when you play a top 10 ranked opponent that has the NCAA’s record holder for goals in a season on the roster. It was close for about 18 minutes, with CJ Meehan scoring to […]
One year after having every returning safety signed through the upcoming season, the Chicago Bears now find themselves with none who played last year under contract.

The Flyers practiced Sunday but had to stop for a few hours to watch (like everyone in Canada) the men’s gold medal game between Team Canada and Team USA. The States came out on top in a thrilling 2-1 overtime victory, but a few Flyers on both sides of the fence spoke about the game itself and their thoughts. Trevor Zegras, who is a friend of the Hughes brothers, including game-winning goal scored Jack Hughes, was riveted to the screen like most people. “Yeah, it was sweet,” Zegras s...
Northwestern baseball (5-2, 0-0 B1G) flexed its prowess and potential this weekend in a thrilling four-game sweep of Cornell and Boston College at the Hub City Invitational. Each win showcased different aspects of Ben Greenspan’s squad — offensive depth, production with runners on base, plate discipline and clutch pitching. But the biggest takeaway from this […]
It’s not a surprise, but after NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported earlier this week that the Falcons will indeed use the franchise tag on Kyle Pitts, they’ve gone ahead and done it. After a breakout season that saw him set career marks in receptions in touchdowns, and with incoming head coach Kevin Stefanski being one […]
It’s hard to believe the Eagles, just one year removed from a Super Bowl title, need this much help. At this time last year, the future of the roster on both sides of the ball appeared more robust. With two top wide receivers, a game-changing running back, an elite offensive line, and a talented young […]

Justin Hagenman looked good in […]
Recently the NFL announced that the results of report cards players fill out each year to grade their teams will no longer be made public.

For most of the 2025-26 season the Portland Trail Blazers have enjoyed the breakout of newly-minted NBA All-Star Deni Avdija. Avdija has been struggling with back issues lately. Blazers fans have now seen their team with Deni full-strength, hobbled, and absent entirely. Safe to say, more Deni is better than less. Having said that, we’ve […]
Sometimes a losing streak feels like it will never end. For No. 10 Ohio State women’s basketball, it lasted exactly two games after an 88-83 victory on Sunday over USC.

The penultimate week, as each week this season has done, brought a load of chaos, and there […]
Good Monday morning Caps fans. I hope you all are well rested and having a good start to your week. The Whitecaps are off the mark with three points.

I am really enjoying the debate about the QB position. I guess I love the drama! It is too bad that JJ McCarthy has been injured for much of the last two seasons. It really has delayed his development and the team’s ability to determine his long term future. His performance on the field has […]
