One thing I think everyone here agrees on — and we don’t all agree on much! — is that the Cubs ought to sign one of the top free-agent hitters this offseason. In my view, now that the team has traded for a cost-controlled starting pitcher — and potentially a very good one in Edward […]

With an 8-9 record and backing their way into the playoffs in a less-than-impressive fashion, there are plenty of Panthers skeptics out there. There are probably plenty of Panthers skeptics here, too, but for […]

The Seattle Seahawks managed to win the NFC West and also earned a bye in the first week of the playoffs, becoming the number one seed for the first time since 2014.

When Mizzou star linebacker Josiah Trotter unsurprisingly announced his intentions to enter the NFL draft on New Years Day, the Tigers were left with a giant hole in the middle of their excellent defense.

While the campaign to get Daniel Whelan named as the First-Team All-Pro punter for the 2025 season is in full swing, let’s take a moment to appreciate how impressive a campaign the Green Bay Packers’ third-year punter put up this year.

It’s hard to fault the Mets for re-uniting with Ryne Stanek after trading for him prior to the 2024 trade deadline. Part of their attempt to bolster the bullpen for their 2024 postseason push, Stanek struggled at first, posting a 15.75 ERA (seven earned runs in four innings) across his first five outings.

The Philadelphia Flyers are so back. After demolishing the Anaheim Ducks on Tuesday night in the most entertaining game of the season so far, the feeling surrounding this team feels impenetrable. The dark cloud looming over this current rebuild that the front office is pursuing, has once again been waved away to briefly see some immaculate sunshine.
