After losing two in a row against the Braves and dropping below the .500 mark for season wins, the Tigers were hoping to dodge a series sweep before heading back to Detroit. Despite a losing record, the Tigers only trailed the division-leading Guardians by half a game, because the AL Central is not having a […]
Things got off to a saucy start for the Cincinnati Reds in Thursday’s series finale against the Colorado Rockies in Great American Ball Park. If you, like me, are still trying to figure out exactly what that means, let’s just say that Andrew Abbott began the game by serving up a meatball that Tyler Freeman […]
The Minnesota Wild are not known for being a beefy team. Their most important players include Kirill Kaprizov (5-foot-10), Quinn Hughes (5-foot-10), Jared Spurgeon (5-foot-9), and Mats Zuccarello (5-foot-8). On the other hand, their first-round opponent, the Dallas Stars, boast the second-tallest an...
Unless you’ve been living under a rock this week, you know that the NBA is now considering a draft lottery system that smooths out the odds for all teams participating in the lottery and favors teams who finish in the middle of the lottery order instead of the teams with the best and worst records […]
The Las Vegas Raiders made a somewhat surprising move in the second round of the 2026 NFL draft, adding former Arizona defensive back Treydan Stukes to the roster. While the Raiders needed a safety heading into the draft, part of the shock value with the Stukes pick is that he was primarily a cornerback in […]
In 2022, the “It’s Not My Money(ball)” series was created in response to the owners’ lockout, which disrupted that year’s Spring Training and arguably cost Clayton Kershaw a perfect game in Minneapolis (I had fun). As the season completes its first month, the World Baseball Classic now a memory, we must conclude the revival of […]
Neither Connor McDavid nor Jason Dickinson participated in morning skate for the Edmonton Oilers on Thursday. The Oilers are again in a must-win situation ahead of Game 6 against the Anaheim Ducks. McDavid and Dickinson didn’t take morning skate before Game 5, either, and were listed as “game-time decisions.” Both played. “We won 4-1. We…

The Chicago Bears have done a few facelifts to some of the position groups this past offseason, and one of those was linebacker. The Bears have brought in a few new faces via free agency and added another in the draft, so let’s look at this room and how it shakes out not just in […]
The name of the game for the Dallas Cowboys in the 2026 NFL Draft was defense, and they specifically nailed it in the first three rounds. After taking safety Caleb Downs and edge Malachi Lawrence in round one, the Cowboys selected linebacker/edge Jaishawn Barham out of Michigan in round three after not having a second-round […]
The Los Angeles Chargers knew they needed to get some help for the secondary during the NFL Draft and they got that in defensive back Genesis Smith, the No. 131 overall pick out of Arizona. Smith is someone that could have gone much sooner in the draft, but the Chargers stopped his slide on Day […]

PHILADELPHIA — Derrick White went through his usual extended shootaround routine on Thursday in Philadelphia. He practiced set shots, mid-rangers, floater and mixed in some high-arcing ones. White missed often, something he continues to struggle with into the late stages of the Celtics’ series against the 76ers, but he’s more focused on shaking the misses […]
The red flags popped up immediately. Brandon Woodruff’s first fastball of the game came across the plate at 84.2 mph. I initially thought the radar gun was mis-calibrated, or the system registered an off-speed pitch as a fastball. But then the next one came in at 85 mph, and instantly things looked bad. Brandon Woodruff […]

The Cleveland Browns selected BYU TE Carsen Ryan in the 7th round of the 2026 NFL Draft, and despite his draft slot, he could end up playing a legitimate role in Todd Monken’s offense this year. The 6’3.5”, 255-pound tight end had a breakout season for the Cougars in 2025, amassing 45 receptions for 62o […]

I’ve separated this book into chapters about […]

The American League could be an absolute dogpile with just the Yankees and Rays better than one game over .500, while across the league managers’ […]
