In a matchup between teams that are close to the bottom of their respective conference, the 4-10 New Orleans Saints will host the 3-11 New York Jets on Sunday at the Caesars Superdome. Although close in record, the teams could not be entering this weekend’s game under circumstances further in difference. The Jets head into […]
Newcastle United reached the Carabao Cup semifinals with a cardiac 2-1 win over Fulham at St. James’ Park, thanks to a stoppage-time header from homeboy teenager Lewis Miley. The victory was very needed and definitely was a morale boost after last weekend horrid derby defeat to Sunderland, as Eddie Howe’s side kept their Carabao Cups […]
In Today’s Links: the best match-up (so far) of the 2025 NFL season is tonight, and like me, I’m sure you cannot wait for it. Below is most of the pertinent news from the world of our Seattle Seahawks, enough for the average Field Gulls patron to possibly ingest in one sitting. Dive into the […]
Offense gets fans in the seats, but defenses win championships. Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon is a defensive-minded. He brought over his strategies that worked well when he was the DC for the Philadelphia Eagles, who had just lost the Super Bowl. The Cardinals were in need of some defensive changes, and Arizona owner […]
The Syracuse Orange are back in the win column, but the margin of victory and how the game played out was certainly not what most fans expected. Syracuse led the contest for all but 19 seconds, yet the team’s lead never crossed the 20-point mark in its 14-point home win over Mercyhurst. Overall, it was […]
Prior to the start of each season, the Draysbay community takes part in an excercise in which the top prospects in the Tampa Bay Rays system are ranked by popular vote. This season, the Draysbay community ranked the top 25 prospects in the Rays system with several others receiving votes but just falling shy of […]
Heard “strength vs strength”? Well, this is “weakness vs strength”. The 2-12 Las Vegas Raiders are currently boasting the worst offense in the NFL. They’ve averaging 244.1 yards per game, 173.4 passing yards per game and 70.8 rushing yards per game. But where the Raiders lose in yardage production, they lose harder in points scored, […]
It’s December. I cannot emphasize this enough: it is December. Year one. Darian DeVries has really just gotten started as Indiana’s head coach. Unlike his two predecessors, he didn’t have any strong returning talent to build around, he had to assemble his first roster entirely through the transfer portal. Which, very honestly, isn’t an all-you-can-eat […]
Ten (or 11, in this case) games into a new head coach’s tenure is no time to rush to conclusive judgments about a coach or their strategies. Especially not in the case of somebody like Darian DeVries, who was tasked with a roster overhaul that would have been inconceivable pre-NIL and transfer portal. That doesn’t […]
No. 1 Indiana football is set to play in the Rose Bowl for a spot in the College Football Playoff semifinals. The Hoosiers earned the berth with a 13-10 win over No. 2 Ohio State in the Big Ten Football Championship game. Fernando Mendoza, who’d go on to win the 2025 Heisman Trophy, gave a […]
The long-term future of Kyle Pitts was bound to gain more attention. Given the uncertainty surrounding Raheem Morris and Terry Fontenot, it seemed realistic that the discussions about re-signing the unique playmaker would wait until decisions were made on the current regime. The wait abruptly ended following his sensational performance last Thursday night. What Pitts […]

The Cale Makar contract conversation is starting to feel inevitable. As the salary cap climbs and elite players continue to reset the market, the idea of Makar landing at $16 million per season no longer sounds outrageous, according to NHL.com writer Dan Rosen . Makar's current contract , which runs through the 2026-27 season, sees him earning $9M annually, a steal for what the two-time Norris Trophy produces. Cale Makar contract could hit $16M without crippling Colorado A $16 million AA...
First up, the biggest news yesterday was Kalen DeBoer’s remark after Wednesday’s practice: For one, Cuevas has been Ty Simpson’s most clutch receiving option for much of the season, and his absence the last three games was clearly felt. Two, don’t discount Danny Lewis. The veteran tight end has barely played this season. Want to […]
FRIDAY (#9)Alabama at (#8)Oklahoma 8 p.m., ABC/ESPN This is shaping up as a low-scoring affair, with both offenses on the decline as defenses figured out how to slow them down with each passing week. However, it should be the most electric atmosphere of the first round with a frenzied Sooner fanbase ecstatic to be back […]
Inter defender Alessandro Bastoni has played down speculation about a potential move to Barcelona. The Catalan giants are believed to be keen to add another center-back to the squad, and Bastoni’s name has been mentioned recently as a possible target. The Italian defender has now been asked about the transfer talk but insists he does […]
Harrison took an early stab at predicting the Opening Day 26-man roster yesterday, and it got me thinking about something that’s come up in conversations lately, and that’s whether the Brewers will have any left-handed pitchers in their starting rotation. That also led to the question of whether or not it actually matters whether there […]
The Wisconsin Badgers are back in the Final Four after an amazing weekend, beating the No. 2 Stanford Cardinal and No. 1 Texas Longhorns to get there as they continue their improbable season. The Badgers kicked things off last Friday with a 3-1 win over No. 2 Stanford in the Texas Super Regional, with Mimi […]
The Philadelphia Flyers aren’t shopping for a blockbuster, but they are clearly shopping for help down the middle. After moving out multiple centers over the past year and watching their bottom six go stale at times, the front office’s next priority is pretty straightforward. They want to find another center who can stabilize the lineup and keep the team’s playoff push from getting wobbly. The immediate tell is how much attention is landing on depth roles. When your fourth line is figh...
Episode 62 gets the full Ombudsman treatment: missed calls, myth-busting Hughes chatter, Trocheck trade truth serum, and a fact-check blitz on the podcast’s hottest (and wrongest) takes.
Meet the Mets The Mets are reportedly signing former-Yankee Luke Weaver to a two-year deal worth $22 million. Weaver should help solidify the back end of the bullpen along with Devin Williams. They also claimed catcher Drew Romo off waivers, and DFA-ed Brandon Waddell as the cooresponding move. Both Nolan McLean and Clay Holmes will […]
The one where the Buffalo Bills held a Boston tee party. Did the Buffalo Bills prove anything last Sunday against the New England Patriots? Among quite a few things, the Bills reminded the Patriots that they have a lot of work to do to prove they’re a legitimate playoff team. Though the Bills may still […]
There’s been an odd trend with the Detroit Lions’ losses this year, and it’s involved running back David Montgomery. In most of those games, he’s been very efficient, but underutilized. Check it out: That has led many to believe that the Lions are doing Montgomery wrong, and it appears—at least to some degree—that Lions coach […]
Monday’s defeat at the hand of the Pittsburgh Steelers happened just a few days ago, but the Miami Dolphins are already looking like a far different team than they were while getting spanked by Aaron Rodgers and company. Outside linebacker Matthew Judon was released on Wednesday to give the veteran an opportunity to chase a […]
We’re turning the AI machine back on, please hold A list of topics I would like the Vox AI Machine to consider: I am proctoring back-to-back exams this morning, and the vibes, friends…they’re not good. Anway, even if these students struggle, I hope they know (1) the business school will not allow us to let […]
