It’s out of the frying pan and into the fire for the Atlanta Braves. Despite today being an off-day, they’ll have little time to come down from their big statement series-win in Los Angeles against the Dodgers. They’ll be coming home to welcome in the high-flying Cubs who have also gotten off to a very […]
He is a member of a very select fraternity. It’s a fraternity that goes beyond the usual small fraternity of former major league baseball players. It’s so small that you can count the members on both hands, if that. That fraternity is composed of former pitchers who excelled as both starter and relievers. Think about […]
Ahead of Monday’s game against Minnesota, John Tavares discussed Scott Laughton’s “glue guy” characteristics, the red-hot play of Auston Matthews, and the challenge of a condensed schedule ahead of the Olympic break. What kind of chemistry do you think there will be between you and Scott Laughton on the same line tonight? Tavares: We always […] The post John Tavares on Scott Laughton taunting a Jets fan in Winnipeg: “It’s hard to look at him with a straight face… He’s a funny dude who compet...
The Minnesota Wild are back on their "Everyone Is Injured" bulls*** again. After a plague of devastating injuries in the 2024-25 season, the Wild managed to get through about half the season relatively unscathed. But the specter of missed time comes for everyone, eventually, and it's Minnesota's tur...
Basketball is a global game, but in most games, there are “small world” stories. Tales of past history between opponents, international matchups played overseas, carried over to the United States, and moments where history repeats itself. Monday’s victory for No. 14 Ohio State over the No. 10 TCU Horned Frogs carried its own history that […]
A pretty good weekend for football save for the Seahawks vs 49ers game. The Bills choked it away again and now fired their coach. The Patriots look to have an easy path to the Super Bowl with Bo Nix injured. The Rams vs Seahawks game should be good as their two games this season were […]
IU football will try to complete a perfect season tonight against Miami (FL) in the College Football Playoff national championship game. The No. 1 Hoosiers will face No. 10 Miami at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. Whether you’re ...

Can Boston cut into Detroit’s lead? At the start of the season, most fans expected Boston to be middle of the pack due to Jayson Tatum’s injury and the offseason losses of Kristaps Porzingis, Luke Kornet, Al Horford and Jrue Holiday. Instead, through 41 games, Boston sits second in the Eastern Conference, 4.5 games behind […]
The Calgary Flames have pulled off one blockbuster trade already this season, moving defenceman Rasmus Andersson to the Vegas Golden Knights, and now, their attention has reportedly turned to veteran center Nazem Kadri. Kadri's been in the trade rumor mill early on this season once the Flames were struggling and completely out of the playoff picture. The former Stanley Cup champion is signed through the 2028-29 season at $7 million AAV, and owns a 13-team no-trade clause. TSN's Darren Dreger r...
There are over three months until the 2026 NFL Draft, but with the Kansas City Chiefs’ offseason underway, it’s time to consider what draft prospects the Chiefs could select with the ninth overall pick. On Sunday, Pro Football Focus analyst Gordon McGuinness published a first-round mock draft that had two popular names for the Chiefs’ pick […]
The San Francisco 49ers’ 35-point defeat was the second-largest margin in a playoff game in franchise history. After the game, head coach Kyle Shanahan said, “It’s a loss, but definitely don’t make more of it than it was. It was a loss.” That’s an impressive perspective to have after walking off the field to a […]
No. 1-seed Indiana (14-0, 9-0 Big Ten) is set to take on No. 10-seed Miami (11-3, 7-1 SEC) in the College Football Playoff National Championship Game on Monday night at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida. The Hoosiers got here after beating previous No. 1 Ohio State in the Big Ten Football Championship Game, […]
Zach Charbonnet’s season-ending knee injury was a huge bummer for the Seattle Seahawks ahead of the NFC Championship game. However, that was not the only injury news for Seattle. Head coach Mike Macdonald also called starting left tackle Charles Cross “day-to-day” with a foot injury. Cross started the Divisional Game against the San Francisco 49ers […]
One of the first coordinators to be hired this cycle was not a particularly hot name on the market. Everyone and their mother wants former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel to call offensive plays for their team next year, but that enthusiasm never built around Drew Petzing, who, like head coach Jonathan Gannon, was […]
Caleb Williams, attacked for his skill by homophobes upset with his painted fingernails, made one of the great NFL passes ever. The post Caleb Williams and his painted nails made one of the greatest throws in NFL history appeared first on Outsports .
After suffering a loss against Wisconsin during the first game of their two-game road trip, Rutgers will head to Iowa City with the hopes of knocking off the Hawkeyes. The Scarlet Knights finished their game against the Badgers on a strong note and will look to continue that momentum against Iowa. The Hawkeyes, who were […]
One of the perks that Tom Brady enjoys as Las Vegas Raiders minority owner? His gig with Fox Sports affords him the opportunity to broadcast and watch postseason games. And, as the Silver & Black continues its hunt for a head coach, Brady got a bird’s eye view of one of the candidates the team […]
Amidst a special triple-header Martin Luther King Jr. Day slate of national games on NBC/Peacock, the NBA’s 10 All-Star starters for next month were announced. And no, injured Chicago Bulls point guard Josh Giddey — the Bulls’ best player this year — did not make the cut. After missing 10 straight games for Chicago with a hamstring strain, there’s a decent chance Giddey won’t be named an All-Star reserve this year, either. He’s been enjoying a breakout run, averaging a near-triple-double ...
The Portland Trail Blazers have finally regained a .500 record, standing at 22-22 after 44 games of their 2025-26 regular season. This is more or less in line with their preseason expectations, fighting for a spot in the Play-In Tournament for the 2026 NBA Playoffs. Winning 3 in a row and 10 of their last […]
As 2026 continues to look more and more like an “all-in” season for the Chicago Cubs, we cannot discount the possibility of more additions to the 2026 roster this offseason. Logically, of course, that makes sense. But even more reassuringly, both President Jed Hoyer and GM Carter Hawkins have indicated as much, even suggesting that – for once – paying the luxury tax isn’t a concern or impediment to any moves they may want to make before Opening Day. But when you look around the diamond/ro...
You have probably seen two similar but very different ways to express an opinion with money on the line. One is a sportsbook. The other is a prediction market. At a glance, they can look alike. You pick an outcome. You risk money. You get paid if you are right. But the structure, incentives, and rules behind each are very different. If you want to decide which fits your goals, your risk tolerance, and your style of decision making, you need to understand how they actually work. This ...
Following wins over Marquette and Villanova in the last week, St. John’s is on the brink of returning to the top 25. The Red Storm received 64 votes in the Associated Press’s week 11 men’s basketball poll, tied with Wisconsin for the most among unranked teams. Notable poll voters like Jon Rothstein, Dick Vitale, Seth […]
There are teams that are always ready to take the 'big swing' on the trade front. We saw the Vegas Golden Knights hit their home run already this weekend by obtaining Rasmus Andersson from the Calgary Flames. Carolina is another team always ready to go big game hunting. Dallas, even San Jose now, are others. But don't count out the NHL's newest ownership group: the Utah Mammoth. David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period told Jeff Marek on The Sheet that he expects Utah to be "agg...
For the first time in his career, Luka Dončić led the league in voting en route to the sixth All-Star selection of his career. Luka was named a starter for the Western Conference — which means effectively nothing since it’ll be USA vs. World teams — on Monday. Joining Luka from the west is Nikola […]
In his first season as a member of the Jets he will play his first game in the place he called home for 15 years.
Barcelona saw their 11-game winning streak snapped on Sunday as they slumped to a 2-1 defeat to Real Sociedad in La Liga. A tough night in the Basque Country saw Barcelona have three goals ruled out, a penalty awarded and then scrubbed off and the team hit the woodwork on four different occasions. Frenkie de […]
