With the Grapefruit League all wrapped up, I wanted to discuss a pair of the Nats biggest stars this spring. Brady House and Cade Cavalli are entering key seasons in their pro career. Both are starting their first full season as a big leaguer. This spring, both of them looked ready to roll. I want […]
Thanks to BCB reader JayWent, who suggested I write an article about Japanese third baseman Munetaka Murakami and the chances the Cubs might be interested in him. Murakami is listed at 6-2, 213, which makes him a pretty large man for a Japanese player. By comparison, Seiya Suzuki is 6-0 and 182. Murakami bats left-handed […]
The version of you that took a critical eye to the composition of the Carolina Panthers in August would have considered their current place in the standings and the opportunity ahead of them in the final 3 weeks an unequivocal victory. A step forward for a team that desperately needed to move in the right […]
Looking ahead to the spring, two former Syracuse Orange men’s basketball players who thrived during the pre-Jim Boeheim era of the program will soon have their numbers hanged up for good in the JMA Wireless Dome. Former forward Rudy Hackett and guard Jim Lee — who each played for three years with the Orange and […]
Another first base option in the Nats’ realm of possibility is off the board, as Josh Bell signed with the Minnesota Twins for 1 year, $7 million yesterday. The Nationals had not been linked to Bell this offseason by anyone, but the possibility of him returning to man first base for them did exist. But […]
MLB.com ran an interesting story this weekend that caught my attention and got me thinking. Will Leitch (@williamfleitch) posted a piece on “old guys” who still want to play and likely can still be valuable contributors to major league teams. The list is a who’s-who of perennial all-star players. For argument’s sake, these are players […]
The Oregon Ducks were in Las Vegas Nevada this past weekend to take on the defending ACHA Division 1 Champs, the UNLV Skatin Rebels. UNLV returns a strong team again this year as coming into the weekend they had a record of 13-5, and were the Number 4 team in ACHA division 1. Based on […]
As much as the infield is a mess of question marks and prayers, the OF for the Nats at least has some sense to it. Building over the past few years of trades and drafts the Nats OF in 2025 ended as something that the team would like to carry for several seasons. James Wood followed up his fine half-season rookie campaign with a full season of solid baseball, making the All-Star team with a great first half before a second half swoon and focus on his weak defense knocked his season ...
Good morning! The Red Sox made another trade last night. And despite all the griping that fans now do about the offseason taking so long to develop (fans of all teams), that was somehow Craig Breslow’s NINTH trade of the offseason. Here’s Chris Cotillo with all the moves in one place: Talk about what you […]
Good morning, Chargers fans! You know what to do! And now for today’s links. Chargers News: Here’s how the Chargers can clinch a playoff spot in Week 16 (Chargers.com) Five takeaways from the Chargers’ physical win over the Chiefs (Chargers.com) The good, the bad, and the ugly from the Chargers’ latest win in Kansas City […]
J.J. McCarthy torches Cowboys with 3 TDs in Vikings’ 34-26 spoiler win – but can the young QB sustain this vs elite defenses? Dive into the latest Real Forno Show breakdown of Minnesota Vikings football. In the newest episode of The Real Forno Show, hosted by Tyler Forness with producer Dave Stefano, the duo dissects […]
Never say “things can’t get worse.” I heard this after the Wizards loss two weeks ago. We quote and maybe even take as truth this inherently incorrect statement for whatever reason, perhaps because we don’t fear extinction (truly the worst outcome for humanity). In terms of NBA basketball, well… we’re seeing it now after perhaps […]
Texas A&M has already named Jay Bateman’s replacement as a Defensive Coordinator, elevating Assistant Head Coach Lyle Hemphill last week. But Bateman’s departure also meant the Aggies are in need of a new linebackers coach, and it appears they may have found their solution. According to 247 Sports’ Matt Zenitz, the Ags will hire former […]
It’s Week 15, but do the Eagles have an offensive identity? The last two weeks feel different. I said last week, despite the turnovers, that I was optimistic about the offense. For the first time since the bye, the Eagles looked like an offense with a clear identity rather than a collection of ideas. Yes, […]
The San Francisco 49ers had a nice 37-24 victory over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, improving to 10-4 with three weeks left in the season. It was an amazing offensive day, as the 49ers scored on all but one of their possessions, which proved to be too much to overcome for the Titans. Quarterback Brock […]
Ohio State’s offensive line entered the 2025 season with questions, reshuffled roles, and several players stepping into unfamiliar responsibilities. It leaves the regular season as one of the most cohesive and reliable units in the country, a group that quietly became a strength for a Buckeye team built around a young quarterback and explosive skill […]
The San Diego Padres have yet to make any significant news this offseason, most of what has been discussed is rumor and speculation. Padres starter Yu Darvish made some news of his own while taking part in the Padres Holiday Tour at Ronald McDonald House in San Diego, Monday. In a news starved baseball town […]
The New Orleans Saints pulled off back-to-back upsets with a dramatic 20-17 win over the playoff-hopeful Carolina Panthers on Sunday in Week 15 of the 2025 NFL season. Here’s the biggest overreaction from the matchup: “Had Tyler Shough started from Week 1, the Saints would be in playoff contention.” Tyler Shough put the football world […]
1940 In a minor trade, the White Sox shipped Jack Knott to Philadelphia for third baseman Dario Lodigiani. Knott was approaching his later 30s but was coming off of two strong, two-plus WAR seasons, while Lodigiani, about a decade younger, was just getting his career started. No one ended up very pleased with how the […]

No. 9 ranked TCU Women’s Basketball moved to 11-0 with a 89-49 win over Jacksonville last Sunday in Fort Worth. Jacksonville played a strong first half but the Frog offense caught fire in the final two quarters to pull away and secure the 11th straight double digit win for TCU. The Dolphins were 7-1 coming […]
