Earlier this offseason, we talked about how the Reds and Pirates projections had them looking plausibly competitive in 2026 in the NL Central, particularly if they made certain offensive additions over the offseason. In both cases, the teams desperately needed to add offense in the outfield and at DH, and, for the Pirates, their acquisitions of Ryan O’Hearn and Brandon Lowe could very much help in those regards (and possibly also the acquisitions of outfielders Jhostynxon Garcia and Jake ...

The bad news is that the Chicago Bears are no longer in the running to take home the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs. But the good news is that the No. 2 seed is very much in play. And all the Bears have to do is beat the Detroit Lions on Sunday in Week 18 to make it happen. However, that will not stop me from rooting for the Washington Commanders against the Philadelphia Eagles. An Eagles loss would also clinch the second seed for Chicago’s football team. It’s a shame that the Buffalo Bil...

Take the Cleveland Browns, for example, who pulled off a somewhat surprising (but not really) victory on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The win was Cleveland’s sixth in the past seven home games against Pittsburgh, and […]

Let’s scan the lines in search of value as the Dallas Mavericks hit the road, having lost four of their last five, with any talk of a steady climb back toward .500 quietly shelved — possibly for a good long while.

This game was theoretically decided when it was scheduled, so anything other than a demolition by the hands of the Nittany Lions should be a cause for concern […]

Well, the year of 2025 is nearing its conclusion and the Winnipeg Jets will be glad to see it in their rearview mirror. Currently on a 5 game losing streak, the True Northers have gone 3-10-4 since November 21st. The level of the Jets’ play on the ice has improved recently, but that has only resulted in the club picking up a pair of loser points in their most recent contests. Winnipeg ( 15-17-4 ) is sitting in a tie for the 2nd worst record in the NHL before the action gets underway on Mo...

With such a quick turnaround between games, none of the former are expected to be available, which then leaves the Blues waiting for Grealish. The star winger was reportedly unwell […]
