The Detroit Lions ‘tight end room was a disaster in 2025. Out of all of the positions, no unit faced more injuries and difficulties than them. You can argue the secondary suffered from more injuries, but they had enough depth to make it work. The Lions’ offense took a step back when their tight end […]
The saga of Bradley Chubb and the AFC East may not be over just yet, as one Miami Dolphins rival could look to keep him in the division.
Over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be rolling out a series of prospect previews for Spring Training. We begin with arguably the Astros’ top prospect in camp this year: Brice Matthews. Brice Matthews, a Houston native and Atascocita High School graduate, went on to play college baseball at Nebraska. After solid freshman and sophomore […]
While this series is titled Rising Stars, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan has a strong argument to remove the word ‘rising’, because he already might be a star. It’s hefty praise to heap onto a rookie, but in the era of the NFL where first year players are thrown into the starting line-up in […]
Good day everyone! We’ve got a lot of news to get to as we kick off this Wednesday — let’s dive in. In Mariners news… Around the league… Anders’ picks…
The TCU Horned Frogs’ win streak has come to an end. After wins over Kansas State, Iowa State and Oklahoma State that reignited their tournament hopes, TCU fell 82-71 to UCF in Orlando. UCF, which had lost three straight entering the game, came out with a vengeance. The Knights opened on a 9-2 run, with […]
Lost in all of the excitement of the Seattle Seahawks winning the Super Bowl was the fact that we had 242 readers participate in our predictions survey before the magical season began. We had a mixture of registered accounts and anonymous ballots, which had some unintended consequences given the 0-17 submission we received. Anyway, how […]
At first, the substitution didn’t seem like a big deal. Anthony Robinson II stood at the free-throw line, hoping to finish a four-point play after Texas’ Chendall Weaver fouled him on a clumsy closeout. Robinson’s step-back three had just nudged Missouri ahead by one with 1:35 left in the half, and Missouri coach Dennis Gates […]
In freshman JD Dohrmann’s dominant five inning start, the Tiger bats and bullpen were not able to hold up their end of the bargain in Missouri’s 4-2 loss to Florida Atlantic Tuesday evening. Tigers Game Recap The Tigers had a scoreless first, second and third inning, as Dohrmann struck out four batters, including Nick Romano […]
The NFL’s franchise tag window opened on Tuesday, and 2026 free agency is right around the corner. As a result, ESPN’s Matt Bowen released his Top 50 free agents and named the Las Vegas Raiders as “best fits” for three of them: cornerback Jaylen Watson, wide receiver Romeo Doubs and guard Zion Johnson. CB Jaylen […]
Heading in to 2025, we were generally very down on Ryan Clifford. The top-line results and power production were decent, sure, but striking out nearly 30% of the time with a very passive approach is not a good sign for long-term major league production. It seemed like Clifford’s hit tool would ultimately limit his ability […]
The Champions League play-offs have kicked off this week and fortunately don’t include Barcelona as Hansi Flick’s side made it safely through to the knockout stages of the 2025-26 Champions League by finishing fifth in the standings, behind Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Liverpool and Tottenham. Chelsea, Sporting and Manchester City were the three other teams to […]
With apologies to Steve Busby, Paul Splittorff, and 1972 Roger Nelson, the first true ace of the Kansas City Royals was a Brooklyn, New York native named Dennis Leonard. After graduating from high school, Leonard walked onto the baseball team at Iona University, a small Catholic (4,000 students) college located just north of the Bronx. […]
Commissioner Rob Manfred has made no secret that he would like to have all 30 MLB teams’ local TV rights to be able to sell to prospective buyers after the 2028 season, along with national rights. The theory is that doing this would get a higher price than just having the league’s national rights for […]

Back in the winter of 2024, shortly after the Yankees missed out on Juan Soto, they quickly pivoted and signed Max Fried to a mammoth eight-year, $218 million contract. The left-hander, one of the highest-profile pitchers in that 2024-25 offseason, was seen as a luxury for some fans, who deemed his signing unnecessary because their […]
7. JB Middleton (409 points, 19 ballots) Middleton became the highest-ever drafted pitcher for Southern Mississippi when the Rockies took him 45th overall in the 2025 draft (Middleton was 41st in MLB Pipeline’s draft rankings), signing the now 22-year-old right-hander to a $2.072 million bonus that was $100k under slot. Middleton doesn’t possess ideal size for […]
With just three games left to go before the ACC Tournament, the Syracuse Orange women’s basketball team is now a few steps closer to securing its second March Madness appearance in three years. Syracuse enters this week sitting in sole possession of third place in the conference, with a 21-5 overall record and an 11-4 […]
We didn’t see the best of Doug Moe in Philadelphia. Hell, we barely saw him at all. He lasted 56 games as the Sixers’ coach in 1992-93, the team’s first after Charles Barkley left town. Thirty-seven of them were losses, two by 56 points – including the last one, on March 6, 1993 in Seattle. Too bad, because Moe, […]
With the Super Bowl in the rear-view, the league has turned their attention to free agency. As teams start planning their 2026 rosters, there’s also plenty of speculation regarding who may get cut due to salary cap hits. Among some of the players considered cap casualties, NFL reporter Matt Okada suggests a surprising name: Browns […]

Everyone knows that the Cleveland Browns need to make big upgrades to their offensive line this offseason. The offense, in general, is the focal point of most NFL free agency and NFL draft coverage of the team. With HC Todd Monken reportedly, but not officially, hiring Mike Rutenberg as the team’s new defensive coordinator, that […]
“We started pretty well, came out a little flat in the third, but just stayed with it to win a close one.” – Ryan Tverberg “I thought we started well in the first and started well in the second. The fight gave us some momentum, and we scored a couple of big goals back-to-back within […] The post Ryan Tverberg shines on first line, late PP goal allows Toronto Marlies to snatch shootout victory vs. Laval appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
