A new report claims the Portland Trail Blazers have “serious interest” in a Jaylen Brown trade. However, can they make […]
Much was made about the “Super Bowl MVP” signing with the Kansas City Chiefs this offseason. While it doesn’t happen terribly often in the same season, it’s not quite the blockbuster the media made it sound like at times. Still, Kenneth Walker III declined to stay with the championship Seattle Seahawks for his first free […]
In case you’ve been living under a rock, it was announced on Monday that Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal has been diagnosed with loose bodies in his elbow and will require surgery, sidelining him for a minimum of two months. Unless there is underlying damage in the elbow discovered during the procedure, this injury has […]
The Jacksonville Jaguars were one of the most eventful teams in the 2026 NFL Draft, making 10 selections in the draft, with analysts having polarizing reviews of their selections. Through two years, one thing has been clear: general manager James Gladstone isn’t afraid to be active moving up and down the board. We saw that […]
Since the 2026 NFL Draft has concluded, most of the headlines have been surrounding the weapons that the New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis and staff have been assembling to put around QB Tyler Shough. But let’s not overlook the fact that the Brandon Staley’s defense has been getting some attention as well. It […]
Jackie Young, Rickea Jackson and Kiki Iriafen are all Skechers ambassadors. And now, the WNBA is also partnering with the sneaker brand, announcing Skechers as an official partner of the league just ahead of this milestone 30th season.

The good times kept rolling for the Yankees on Tuesday night, as they came from behind to beat Jacob deGrom on behalf of since-demoted rookie Elmer Rodríguez. They’ve won 15 of their last 17 games and would almost be running away with the AL East already if the Rays weren’t off to a scalding-hot start […]
After the Boston Celtics’ second straight early exit from the playoffs, the topic of roster changes is inevitable. Fans like you and I can be pretty emotional in the aftermath of disappointment. Brad Stevens, however, seems to be a lot more level headed. But that doesn’t mean he won’t consider all the options before him. […]
The Pittsburgh Penguins are about to enter what could be (and perhaps should be) a fascinating offseason. Probably one of the more fascinating offseasons they have had in years. There is the Evgeni Malkin situation looming. There is the fact the Penguins, coming off a surprising playoff appearance, have to wrestle with the reality that […]
The Nats at catcher are currently the worst in baseball. In the previous two seasons they were 24th and 24th in wins above position, which tracks with what we all know. They are bad. They haven't been the worst , thanks mainly to catcher being such a hard position that other teams were complete failures, but now they are the complete failure. Their issues at catcher might be the worst at any position in baseball* Their main catcher Keibert Ruiz is hitting .182 / .203 / .303. Tradit...
The Minnesota Vikings have started the search for their new General Manager, and while the team may not be formally releasing the names of the candidates they’re interviewing for the position, that isn’t stopping other sources from reporting them once they get a hold of them. The first such name has emerged on this Wednesday […]
November is a long way away. Without Best Virginia in this summer’s TBT, it’s going to feel even longer. But Ross Hodge has given us plenty to talk about between now and then because the bar has been raised. Fourteen of fifteen roster spots are filled. The portal is closed. Let’s get into it. Powered […]
Ahead of this weekend’s heavyweight title fight, challenger Daniel Dubois talks a bit about this fight with Fabio Wardley, where he’s come from to get here, and more in a conversation with Queensberry Promotions. Dubois will be looking to regain world title status on Saturday and silence any criticism about whether or not he’s got […]
Kentucky Basketball head coach Mark Pope was hoping to make another international addition in Maccabi Tel Aviv center Marcio Santos following a recent recruiting trip overseas. However, that trip ultimately proved unsuccessful, as Santos has opted instead to pick LSU over Kentucky, according to Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress. Pope traveled to Israel on Wednesday last […]
Morning, all! Rule 5 pick Carter Baumler hasn’t pitched in a week during his rehab assignment in Round Rock, and he may be on ice for much longer after being diagnosed with a strained rotator cuff. Josh Smith is headed to the IL with a glute strain, and had been replaced on the active roster […]
For most true freshmen at Ohio State, the first few months are about learning and adjustment. Brock Boyd has already moved past that stage. The Texas native became the first true freshman to lose his black stripe this offseason, a meaningful milestone within the program that reflects trust, consistency, and attention to detail. That early […]
We haven’t gotten to know Kansas City Chiefs’ running back Kenneth Walker very well over the less-than-two-month period he has been employed as the team’s lead ball carrier. The soft-spoken Super Bowl MVP was interviewed by Kay Adams on “Up & Adams,” broadcasting on FanDuel TV, revealing more about himself before focusing on proving to […]
The NFL developed the compensatory pick system as a way to balance free agency for teams who can’t afford to retain their talented players. In short, the NFL provides extra resources to teams who lose more talent in free agency than they add by giving them extra draft capital in the following year’s draft. The […]
The San Diego Padres found themselves trailing the San Francisco Giants 4-1 after two innings and it was not looking for the Padres, who had Walker Buehler on the mound. However the new-look San Diego lineup generated consistent offense, which resulted in a 10-5 win over the Giants. Multiple Padres had multi-hit games, including Sung-Mun […]
A Game 1 stinker for the Sixers against the Knicks? It wasn’t ideal, but the Sixers have rebounded from such losses already in the postseason and, in defiance of how I’ve looked at this team for so long, I have confidence they will again. Before they have a chance to do so in Game 2, […]
The NBA Draft Combine is approaching, and three Illini players were invited to participate in Chicago. The combine will run from May 10-17 at Wintrust Arena and the Marriott Marquis. Players will compete in five-on-five scrimmages, skill drills, measurements, medical examinations, and interview sessions. A total of 73 players were invited, including Illini standouts Keaton […]
Good morning! The Red Sox lineup absolutely rolled one of the best pitchers in the game last night, roughing up Framber Valdez so thoroughly that he got himself intentionally thrown out of the game. But was Valdez mad at his sub-par performance, or was he mad at something else? Last week, ESPN’s Buster Olney speculated […]
The Montreal Victoire evened its best-of-five playoff series at 1–1 with a gritty triple-overtime win in Game 2, with the goal scored by Captain Clutch herself, Marie-Philip Poulin. Poulin, who was in visible discomfort most of the night, wired a one-timer from the right circle just over four minutes into the third overtime period. “Tonight’s win gives us momentum,” Marie-Philip Poulin said. “We wanted to win at home in front of our fans, we gave them practically two games in one. We...
Three LHD, Two Lucases, and a partridge in a pear tree.
Early in the week we were given a wave of stories linking Liverpool and Brazil goalkeeping star Alisson Becker with Juventus, with multiple outlets including Sky claiming the Serie A club had made the 33-year-old their top goalkeeping target and would commit “significant resources” to signing him. That always seemed more likely to revolve around […]
We did this with Cam Smith last time and it seemed like a good feature to move forward with most of the hitters individually. The general idea here is that the basic numbers will say one thing, but the underlying numbers might say something else. For instance, we saw that Smith is making more progress […]
