Remember when old what’s-his-name bolted to Texas A&M after two seasons at Duke? What was his name? Oh, yeah: Midnight Mike. Mike Elko.

Kayden McDonald, DT, Ohio State No one does heartbreak like the Buffalo Bills. I’ll spare you a rehash of the four consecutive Super Bowl losses. If the name Scott Norwood isn’t familiar, go watch the 30 for 30 doc “The Four Falls of Buffalo.” It’s excellent. More recently, Josh Allen and Sean McDermott returned the […]

Happy Thursday, everyone. The offseason doldrums have commenced, but we did get a basketball transfer portal nugget when Mississippi State forward Jamarion Davis-Fleming committed to Alabama. Davis-Fleming played in 32 games this past season, starting six of them and averaging 20.2 minutes per game. Davis-Fleming joins Brandon Garrison as Alabama’s two transfer portal additions so […]
Hickory starter Aidan Deakins went four innings and gave up three runs on a two out, three run homer, though an error preceded that so Deakins still has a 0.00 ERA on the year. He struck out three and walked three. Paulino Santana homered and drew two walks. Josh Springer had a hit. Dewar Tovar […]

Of the two possible problems for the Edmonton Oilers, the one they currently have is the preferred option, I reckon. Would you rather the Oilers be scoring at will, but struggling to suppress goals against? Well, we’ve seen that, and it hasn’t been a long-term winning strategy. The Oilers know it too, and there’s a…

When they experts talk, maybe we should listen. Peter Schrager, Dane Brugler, Field Yates, and Ran Carthon recently got together on “The Schrager Hour” and took turns predicting all 32 picks in the first round for the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft. They decided to forgo any trade predictions, instead stood pat and selected with each […]
I’m raising my hand — I’m one of those folks. I’m a firm believer in the idea that a person only has so much capacity in terms of what they can enjoy. For me, UNC sports come first and the problem is that includes a passion for UNC basketball with both the men and women’s […]
The vibes around the New Orleans Saints right now are absolutely immaculate. Despite a 6-11 finish in 2025, the fanbase feels reenergized due to the emergence of rookie quarterback Tyler Shough. For the first time since Drew Brees, the Who Dat Nation feels like they have our guy at QB1. However, it is important to […]
While we’re all still on cloud nine from the Kevin McGonigle extension (do Tarik Skubal next, Tigers!) we have some fun little tidbits from after the big announcement as McGonigle spoke to the press about his long-term commitment to the team. We also take a look at how the Tigers and MLB as a whole […]
Louisville Bats 9, Toledo Mud Hens 5 (box) Lefties Bryan Sammons and Sean Guenther both got rocked in this one and the Hens couldn’t overcome the deficit. Things started out in pretty promising fashion, as Corey Julks mashed his third home run of the year in the second inning for a 1-0 lead. Sammons was […]
The 2025-26 Champions League semi-finals are now set with Atletico Madrid, Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain the last four teams left standing in Europe’s premier club competition.

Trea Turner hit Shōta Imanaga’s second pitch of the game out of Citizens Bank Park. Okay, I know what a lot of you were thinking: “Here we go again.” But that turned out not to be the case! Imanaga slammed the door on Phillies bats after that, allowing just two other hits and a walk […]

In the first installment of this three-part series, we focused on five players whom I would label as the “best fits” for the Bears in Round 1. The next step in the exercise involves taking a deeper dive into who could be available on Day 2 and who fits the best. For my money, Day […]
Some time ago, we asked for feedback, and one bit of actionable feedback that I got was basically doing a check-in on player performance on a regular basis. My plan is to do that twice a month, and with the 15th of April now behind us, I’ll try to get that up today or tomorrow. […]
Aaron Nola has been around long enough that we can essentially know what to expect, for better or worse. That comes with familiarity and can bring equal levels of comfort and dread. But, 2026 is and will continue to be somewhat uncharted territory for Nola, as it’s the first time in his career that he […]
With the current transitory nature of college athletics, vibes can shift dramatically from year to year, season to season and even month to month. Programs that finished 2025 on a high note may have flopped in the portal. Programs that bottomed out last year may have had a big-time recruiting haul or hired a new […]
