It’s pretty clear this is a do-or-die season for No. 2 UCLA. They entered the year highly-ranked and have remained near the top the entire season. Last year, they made their first Final Four appearance in program history, and with Lauren Betts back and playing in her senior season, this is the moment for the […]

In many ways, it didn’t seem like Saturday would be the Portland Trail Blazers’ night against the Memphis Grizzlies. That feeling started pregame, as long injury reports — and the fact it was the second meeting between the teams in 48 hours — brought to the matchup the wonky energy usually reserved for the tanktastic […]

It’s time. Drake Maye, the talent Mack Brown somehow never coached to 10 or more wins, plays in a Super Bowl in only his second pro season. Maye’s Patriots face Seattle’s league-leading defense, #1 against the run and #2 against the pass based on efficiency metrics. #1 overall. Seattle lost three games this season, one […]

There is some video out there of Ronald Acuña playing second base. There’s also footage of Acuña crushing a pitch while swinging left handed. How bananas would it be to see him play 162 games as a switch-hitting second baseman? Ivan ran the numbers, and he said that he would be worth approximately 3700 WAR […]

Happy Super Bowl Sunday? I wanted to do a fun, themed topic today. So here it is: If the Boston Celtics were a football team, what position would each player play? I know that Baylor Scheierman played quarterback in high school. I don’t recall if any other Celtics played. But I’m thinking this is more […]

Sven Botman put Newcastle ahead with a header from a Bruno Guimaraes corner on 24 minutes, but the pattern of surrendering leads quickly returned to SJP. Vitaly Janelt equalized […]

It happened. It stinks, but it happened. The St. Louis Cardinals are in full rebuild (as evidenced by FanDuel’s 69.5 win total), but that reality has sunk in enough that fans seem to embrace the idea of growing pains with the young, but talented roster. With the trade of Brendan Donovan, who it looked like […]

The Los Angeles Kings didn't sit around and wait until the trade deadline to pull off a massive move, acquiring Artemi Panarin. He reportedly only wanted to go to LA and was willing to sign there, which he did. This adds much-needed offense to the team and keeps them in contention for a few more years, whether Anze Kopitar retires or not. But since the team's top centerman is retiring after the season, the Kings are going to have to address that as well. But there could be a solution that fits...

In a far too early matinee, the Knicks (33*-19) face the Celtics (34-18) at TD Garden. This is a matchup of two Eastern Conference heavyweights, although the Knicks more resemble a boxer at the end of a fight—bloodied, swollen-eyed, with at least two sprained ankles. On December 2, 2025, Boston defeated New York 123-117, with […]
