Cowboys survey: Is there any optimism moving forward?

There’s not much left to root for in the Dallas Cowboys 2025 season. Sure, there is the mathematical possibility of making the playoffs, but the reality is that the season is effectively over and Cowboys Nation turns its lonely eyes to the draft and… free agency? Well, at least the draft part. We’re going to […]

Smarty discusses Christmas songs

Every year we hear the debate about what makes a movie a “Christmas movie” and specifically whether or not Die Hard qualifies. (Yes, it does, BTW) But for whatever reason, we give a lot more leeway when deciding that something is a “Christmas song.” Winter Wonderland, Let it Snow, and Baby, it’s Cold Outside are […]

Heat reviving the superstardom of Ja Morant is only worth it for the right price

The Miami Heat have been linked to several stars on this year’s trade market so far. Most notably, Giannis Antetokounmpo headlines that list, and Miami should be willing to trade almost anything to bring someone of his MVP caliber aboard.  However, for the other names, that shouldn’t be the case. And not even close to […] The post Heat reviving the superstardom of Ja Morant is only worth it for the right price appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .

Requiem for a BC Football Season & Program News

Traveling for a couple weeks, I’ve been delayed putting out a season recap of sorts. While that has not stopped BC from making some key offseason moves, nor has it stopped the ACC from planning for next season, we carry on. Content waits for no man. First, there was the extra investment to football Blake […]

Things Sure Have Seemed Quiet on Kazuma Okamoto, Eh?

Recently, Ken Rosenthal noted how little chatter there was – at least publicly – about Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami, despite the fact that Murakami’s posting window closes on December 22. If a deal is going to happen, it has to happen SOON. Yet even Rosenthal conceded that he simply had no clue what was going to happen, or what team might ultimately sign Murakami. Some of that is a product of these posting processes being especially secretive, and I think some of it is probably tied to t...

The New York Knicks are the winners of the 2025-26 Emirates NBA Cup, courtesy of a 124-113 win over the San Antonio Spurs in the tournament’s final game last night.
