In less than a month, the NFL’s free agency period will open, and the Kansas City Chiefs should be looking into the pool of unrestricted free agents to strengthen the running back position.

Greg, Minnie, and Fred open the Five Heart Podcast in classic chaotic form—joking about missing Facebook, snow totals, and “guess what” banter—before diving into a big Husker news day: spring ball chatter and press conferences featuring Matt Rhule, new defensive coordinator Rob Aurich… (plus a heavy dose of defensive jargon), and Dana Holgorsen. Minnie is […]

Baseball players are famously superstitious. In Charlie Blackmon’s case, he confessed to being a “little stitiious,” while mic’ed up during the 2018 All-Star Game. More than banking on luck, Blackmon was notorious for his dedication to his routine. Gabe Bauer, the Rockies director of physical performance, shared a prime example of Blackmon’s meticulousness during Rockies […]
Spring Training is underway! There is new stuff coming out of camps everyday now, a respite from the off-season doldrums where we hashed and re-hashed the same few unresolved debates. Who knew that they were running a special on hamate bone repair this month? As is my want, I tend to zig on writing topics […]

Offense (97 team OPS+) The three guys Puckett was […]
Good morning baseball fans! As we approach the beginning of the season, we’re going to be doing some questions for y’all about your thoughts about the San Francisco Giants and baseball in general!
