Good morning, baseball fans! For the first time in my decade-long tenure at McCovey Chronicles, the San Francisco Giants have a new player heading to the Hall of Fame. Earlier this week, it was announced that Jeff Kent would be the lone inductee from this year’s Contemporary Baseball Era committee. Players on this ballot had […]
When the Colorado Rockies’ revamped front office under new president of baseball operations Paul DePodesta entered this week’s Winter Meetings in Orlando, Florida with multiple open spots on the 40-man roster, it was clear the rebuilding team intended to make selections in this year’s Rule 5 draft. The final major part of the Winter Meetings, […]
All good things must come to an end. But even if they do, there are good things to glean from those things that come to an end. At least that will be my stances after the Chicago Bears’ 5 game winning streak came to a halt at a frigid Lambeau Field. A game that saw […]
At the onset of the 2025 NFL season it seemed like a safe bet that the Buffalo Bills would once again be crowned the AFC East Champions. Whether it’s the ascendancy of a new elite talent or lightning in a bottle remains to be seen, but the New England Patriots and quarterback Drake Maye have […]
My wife and I have had a few long nights recently, mainly due to one of the twins not wanting to sleep/cooperate. I’d complain but…well let’s face it I’m complaining anyway. It would be one thing if we had to feed just one child every 3 hours, at least we could do it in shifts. […]
The Miami Hurricanes have made the College Football Playoff and will head to College Station to face the Texas A&M Aggies. The Aggies finished the 2025 season 11-1 (7-1 in the SEC) with wins over Notre Dame, Florida, Missouri and LSU. The Aggies were left out of the SEC Championship Game after a rivalry weekend […]
Once a potentially impactful draft that nobody paid attention to, the Rule 5 draft is now an inconsequential draft that most diehard baseball fans pay too much attention to. Present company included. I kid, sort of. But it was once a draft that gave the Pittsburgh Pirates Roberto Clemente, the Chicago Cubs Hack Wilson, and […]
While the Kansas City Chiefs’ 20-10 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday is leading some fans to believe the 2025 season is over, there are still games to be played — and even if Kansas City no longer controls it, a narrow path to the postseason remains. To keep their postseason hopes alive, the […]
So the vaunted Winter Meetings turned out to have been a massive time-suck, completely useless from my point of view. It wouldn’t be a surprise for me at this point if the Cubs signed nobody at all. It’s going to take a hell of a lot to mollify me or even to start to allay […]
The Panthers return from their bye week following a huge upset win over the Rams, in a game where their defense was the star and forced 3 big time turnovers. Following that game and recent developments in the NFC South, every Panthers game left in the season has major playoff implications. The first roadblock in […]
I had all kinds of good intentions to write this for you on Saturday! Instead, I went to the ER. I will be fine, but it has not been the ideal way to end the semester. Thankfully, I’ve had some quality volleyball to soothe the travails. Overall, the Big Ten acquitted itself well in the […]
Everyone thought this specific game would have serious implications in the NFC South race when the schedule was first released, way back in the middle of May. That included the NFL decision makers themselves, who made this a late season prime time matchup on Thursday Night Football. How could we not expect a big matchup? […]

The Toronto Maple Leafs continue to be battered and bruised this season. With a laundry list of players currently on IR, the team has added defenceman Dakota Mermis, who suffered a lower-body injury against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday, and now hits the shelve for what sounds like, a few weeks. The Leafs recalled defenceman Henry Thrun from the AHL's Toronto Marlies, and he's expected to see his first action in blue and white on Thursday against the San Jose Sharks. Mermis suffered the in...
In Wednesday’s ACC Action, Notre Dame beat Iowa 80-65, NC State throttled Liberty 85-45 and Boston College fell to UMass, 76-74. This was the first game Notre Dame played without star guard Markus Burton, who was injured against TCU last time out, and who now faces ankle surgery and, possibly, a redshirt season. The Irish […]
The Vancouver Canucks are the worst team in the NHL, and president Jim Rutherford and GM Patrik Allvin are open for business. Yes, Quinn Hughes' name is out there, and there's been plenty of interest, but to this point of the process, no team has offered the Canucks what they're looking for. The Canucks want a young top-six centre, they want a top-four defenceman, preferably with top-two potential, and they want at least two other pieces, including one first-round pick, and one top prospect. T...
Latter game saint Anton Lundell lit the lamp with 52 seconds remaining in regulation to lift the Florida Panthers to a 4-3 win over the Utah Mammoth, stunning the crowd at Delta Center.
As the clock headed towards overtime, Lundell won an offensive zone draw back to Aaron Ekblad, who pushed the puck forward to Sam Reinhart. Reinhart sent a pass from the right boards down low to Eetu Luostarinen, who tipped it across the goal mouth. Lundell was able to bat the puck out of the air and just ...
The New England Patriots dedicated their Week 12 win over the Bengals to linebacker Jahlani Tavai, who had missed the trip to Cincinnati for personal reasons.

For eight seasons, Mohamed Salah has consistently been Liverpool’s top performer. He hasn’t carried the team on his own, but he’s been the constant, and he has the trophy haul and goal return to justify talk that he’s one of the club’s three best players of all time. To find himself benched as he was […]
