With the 2026 NFL Draft winding down, teams began turning their attention to rookie free agency. The New England Patriots were no exception, and they will once again be quite busy: the team of head coach Mike Vrabel and quasi-general manager Eliot Wolf has several open spots on its 90-man roster available to be filled. […]
“I thought we played pretty well. They capitalized on two or three of our mistakes and we [have to] live with it. We had some really good scoring chances. I think we just have to stick with it.” – Bo Groulx “We did a lot of good things, and we started well. A lot to […] The post Despite solid Game 1 effort, a pair of defensive-zone turnovers cost Toronto Marlies in Laval appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
The 49ers raised eyebrows in last week’s draft when they twice passed on the opportunity to take Omar Cooper Jr. or Denzel Boston in the first round, instead trading down twice and selecting their fellow wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling with the 33rd overall pick in the second round. After Cooper went No. 30 to the […]
The 2026 San Francisco Gianta are discovering new ways to lose. In the first game of Wednesday’s doubleheader, it was a blown save and a walk-off infield single. Ryan Walker (0-1) gave up a game-tying triple to Bryson Stott in the 9th inning and Stott scored on Justin Crawford’s two-out infield single to give the […]
Since the Flyers went up 3-0 against the Penguins last week, one of the prevailing narratives around the team was a reminder of how difficult it is to put away a series completely, particularly against a veteran team like that Penguins squad. When the Flyers delivered a flat showing in Game 4, and when they failed to complete their comeback in Game 5 to come away with the win, that fact was driven home as clearly as could be. Their fate was still in their own hands, but this task would be as d...
In March 2025, the San Francisco 49ers claimed cornerback Tre Tomlinson off waivers from the Los Angeles Rams. A week after the NFL Draft, the 49ers announced they waived Tomlinson, who never stepped foot onto the football field this past season, even in the preseason. Tomlinson, a sixth-round pick from the 2023 NFL Draft, last […]
The first leg of the Champions League semi-finals wrapped up this week. Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich put on a show on Tuesday night, with PSG coming out on top in a 5-4 win that was an incredible display of what it looks like when both teams think defending is cowardly behavior. It was a […]

The Nats won yet another road series with a gutsy 5-4 win against the Mets. It was a glorious win for the Nats and an agonizing loss for the Mets, who are now a shocking 10-21. This game was always going to be decided by a clutch hit, and the Nats were the team that […]
After missing the end of the regular season and the start of the postseason, Austin Reaves made his playoff debut for the Lakers in Game 5.

Yakov Trenin’s return from an upper-body injury gave the Minnesota Wild a much-needed boost in Game 5 against the Dallas Stars, and his presence mattered in ways that went beyond the stat sheet.

After Green Bay Packers fans waited patiently on Thursday of the 2026 NFL Draft, they were gifted with a cornerback with the 52nd overall pick, as general manager Brian Gutekunst selected Brandon Cisse out of South Carolina. The move is one Packers fans had been clamoring for, hoping for an opportunity to bolster the secondary […]
Anthony Volpe’s return from shoulder surgery will probably be judged in extremes. If he comes back looking like the polished two-way shortstop Yankees fans once imagined, every line drive, diving stop, and stolen base will reignite the belief that a true breakout might finally be here. If the offensive line remains parked where it has […]
The Buffalo Bills picked TCU linebacker Kaleb Elarms-Orr in the fourth round at No. 126 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft. Believe it or not, this was one of the club’s original selections, not one obtained in a trade down. This is the fifth piece in my rookie profile series, which is providing a detailed […]
Before hanging up his cleats, Los Angeles Rams backup quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo might want to wait out the Broncos. Bo Nix had a second procedure on his surgically repaired right ankle, which could pave the way for Garoppolo to get another NFL opportunity. Nix fractured his ankle on the game-winning drive in overtime in a […]
The headline says it all: the Mets lost again today at Citi Field, losing 5-4 to the Nationals, and have now lost 17 of their last 20 games. Something has to change, and quickly. Freddy Peralta looked sharp early, despite walking James Wood to start the game. Peralta struck out the side after allowing the […]

Pitching matchups are fun when they are marquee matchups. Logan Webb against Cristopher Sanchez is something one might consider marquee. It was that way for a while, but a wild ending propelled the Phillies to a victory, one that gave them their first series win since Easter. The Giants opened the scoring by getting to […]
We have a MAJOR #JerseyNumberAnalytics update to share: Makai Lemon is going to wear No. 9. The Philadelphia Eagles’ first-round pick from the 2026 NFL Draft revealed as much during a Thursday afternoon press conference ahead of the team’s rookie minicamp this weekend. This is an unexpected development since No. 9 has been out of […]
Clean sheet probability is a key factor in FPL decision-making, especially when it comes to choosing the right defenders and goalkeepers. When a team keeps a shutout, it doesn’t just boost their real-life performance; it delivers valuable fantasy points too, with defenders earning four points and midfielders often benefiting from bonus potential. For that reason, […]
Game Summary Two first inning homeruns by Wetherholt and Walker spotted the Cardinals to an early 3-0 over Paul Skenes, who would ultimately require 100 pitches to make it through five innings. Burleson and Gorman tacked on RBI hits following Pirate mistakes (error, WP). Another game where the Cardinals 3-4-5 hitters collect RBI. That seems […]
