Merry NFL Christmas, everybody! We have finally reached the 2026 NFL Draft, where a group of young men will realize their dreams by hearing their names called from the podium and become members of the best professional football league on the planet. As we do every year, we will be tracking everything that the Minnesota […]
The Carolina Hurricanes are set to hit the ice at Lenovo Center once again as they welcome the Utah Mammoth to Raleigh. The Hurricanes have been off for four full days, not playing since last Saturday’s 4-1 win over the Ottawa Senator’s in Canada’s capital city. Carolina remains six points up on the surging Pittsburgh […]
I was tired before this game even started. I had just spent two straight days in 10 hours of meetings, and I was mentally done. It was my department’s annual meeting at work, and usually it’s a “destination” event. Sometimes it’s in San Antonio — yes to that! It’s my hometown, an easy drive from […]
Day 11 of the Chicago Bears offseason. Is there anything a large, tavern-style pizza covered with Italian sausage can’t fix? Watching the Cleveland Browns coaching mess unfold makes me glad the Chicago Bears got their guy in Ben Johnson last offseason. ICYMI: The Browns hired a new head coach on Wednesday … and still found a way to make a mess out of it. Because shortly after news of Todd Monken’s hiring broke, so did this: After the Browns informed DC Jim Schwartz this morning t...
The Collingswood Municipal Court has sentenced Rutgers wrestling commit Anthony Knox Jr. and his father for their role in a brawl that occurred last February, where Knox Jr. rushed into the stands with his father, causing a violent scene among matchgoers. The pair were originally charged with simple assault for purposely/knowingly causing bodily injury, as […]
Did anyone’s star shine brighter than Jonathan Taylor’s for the 2025 Indianapolis Colts? The veteran stepped up big and helped carry this team to several victories on the year. Yes, he regressed in the second half of the season, but who didn’t? He still put together one of the greatest rushing performances in franchise history. […]
Things did not look good for Minnesota Wild goaltender Jesper Wallstedt at the end of the first period on Tuesday night. He had given up three goals, and the Wild were down 3-0 against the lowly Chicago Blackhawks. A save on a Connor Bedard shot in the second period that almost trickled past h...
Already shorthanded and now without their leading scorer, the Minnesota Gophers went to Madison as big underdogs. But Wisconsin overcame a 22-point deficit and pulled out a 63-67 win. Minnesota played a fantastic first half, holding Wisconsin to just 17 points and taking a 35-17 lead into the break. But the Badgers opened the half […]
The Las Vegas Raiders signed long snapper Alex Ward as a free agent recently. Let’s take a closer look at Ward: Size: 6-4, 248 pounds. NFL experience: He signed as undrafted free agent with the Los Angeles Rams in 2023. He played in 38 games with the Rams from 2023-25. He was the Rams’ primary […]
The Wisconsin Badgers were quite active in the transfer portal this offseason, landing 33 commitments, which was the second-most of any team that didn’t change head coaches. Among the positions they attacked the hardest was wide receiver, where the Badgers landed five transfers: SE Louisiana’s Jaylon Domingeaux, Oklahoma State’s Shamar Rigby, Minnesota’s Malachi Coleman, Oklahoma’s […]
Yesterday, our own Bob Osgood reviewed the pitching staff and noted this when it came to Connelly Early’s projections: “Early’s 16% K-BB, and near-3.50 ERA in both projections, is startling. Of course, thanks to the logjam of pitchers on this team, he’s projected for only 50-60 innings at the moment. That being said, there are […]
Ohio State has long been a pipeline to the first round of the NFL Draft. This year, it has a chance to do something rarer and far more difficult: Put four Buckeyes inside the top 10. It is an outcome that would normally sound hyperbolic. Top-10 selections are shaped by positional value, team need, and […]
Big New York City FC signings made early in the transfer window sets Dunivant apart from his Sporting Director predecessor, with the squad looking built before the season starts.
A lot can change in a year, for better or worse. Pandemics can transform the world, the environment can be destroyed or restored, and a person’s mindset can be radically altered. In 2024, Wisconsin native Aeoden Sinclair was at the top of the high school wrestling world. He was the No. 1-ranked recruit at 190lbs […]
Why are we talking about trade rumors? How many of these articles… Oops. Sorry. Thought I was in the comments section. Look. It’s trade season. There will be trades. There will be trade discussions. If you’re someone who gets irrationally furious at the mere mention of an NBA trade (a surprisingly common cohort), the internet […]
Mike McCarthy is the Pittsburgh Steelers’ newest head coach, following directly behind a line of Mike Tomlin, Bill Cowher, and Chuck Noll in the Steel City. Those are big shoes to fill, and while McCarthy impressed in his introductory press conference, his hiring continues to be met with vitriol from the team’s fanbase. Now that […]
On January 21, 2026, Brandon Sproat was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers. This list, and Sproat’s place on it, was compiled back in late-November. For continuity’s sake, I decided upon including Sproat’s profile, but for all intents and purposes, every player on our list below Sproat can be considered to have moved up a spot […]
There have been a few changes surrounding the Dallas Cowboys coaching staff over the last few weeks. Notably, the Cowboys dismissed defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus and hired Christian Parker to replace him and they have been in the process ever since of rounding out their staff. It was reported over last weekend that Dallas was […]
We’re starting to see more and more prospect pieces come out about either a top 100 ranking of individual prospects, or we’re seeing entire systems ranked. How they are being evaluated is probably right around where we would think they were. From Keith Law ($): 15 – What I said about Detroit applies here in […]
On Monday night, No. 6 LSU won their fifth-straight game, eventually pulling away from visiting Florida for the 89-60 victory. Jada Richard led LSU with 20 points, with her 12 third-quarter points helping the Tigers finally separate from the Gators. A starter in 20 of 21 games, Richard’s emergence as a trusted point guard has […]
Winter officially has its grip on Chicago, but this weekend the White Sox once again are bringing the heat indoors with SoxFest Live at the Ramova Theatre, in the heart of the South Side. Now in its second year at the iconic venue, the reimagined fan experience unfolds across two nights and blends player access, […]
Since we could all use a little break from the topic of men’s basketball (spoiler alert- there’s a story next hour on that topic), let’s turn some attention to an opportunity for Syracuse and the ACC to be leaders and not followers. Women’s flag football has been building momentum and has now been designated as […]
Open your social media platform of choice and search for Syracuse Orange men’s basketball. Look at the final score post, and you’ll be overwhelmed with comments of fans begging for John Wildhack to fire head coach Red Autry. Go to a Syracuse men’s basketball game and hear the student section chanting for the same thing. […]
Last week, we talked about the rushing and passing elements of the Carolina Panthers offense. Both phases were pretty underwhelming, which made for an underwhelming offense on the whole. Surely for a team that made the playoffs, that meant the defense was pretty solid, right? Not really. How it went The Panthers were historically bad […]
There is no way to sugarcoat it: college athletics out West will feel different next season on and off the field, especially for our passionate sports writing crew at MWCConnection. Where it truly counts? Familiar rivalries will be reframed, travel maps redrawn, and long-held assumptions about where the Mountain West ends and the Pac-12 begins […]
The Cleveland Browns have loved nothing more over the years than a “bridge quarterback” to hold down the position until the latest, greatest rookie draft pick is ready to take over at the game’s most important position. Starting with Ty Detmer, who lasted until halftime of the season opener in 1999, and continuing through luminaries […]
