If you haven’t noticed what Teven Jenkins has been doing with the Cleveland Browns, just know that you are not alone. And, frankly, that is because Jenkins hasn’t done much. A second-round pick by the Bears in the 2021 NFL Draft, Jenkins played 45 games (made 38 starts) during his four-year stint with Chicago before signing with Cleveland. What could have been a reset year for Jenkins hasn’t gone as planned. Jenkins has played in 13 games, but has made just one start while appearing only 17 pe...
After five league games unbeaten, the Royals are back to where they started. A poor display against Peterborough United – in what I would class as the worst we’ve played all season – brings the Royals ever so close to the relegation spots. In my opinion there needs to be a complete change in either personnel or formation. Bradford City are in mighty […]

On Wednesday, Major League Baseball held its annual Rule 5 Draft, an event that allows teams to select eligible players from other organizations’ rosters, with a few exceptions. Players can be chosen in either the major league or minor league phases, and while Rule 5 picks don’t always make a significant impact, the Astros have […]
Every Houston Texans fan is well aware of perennial backup QB Jacoby Brissett. His 5–1 record against Houston, earned while playing for the Patriots, Dolphins, and Colts, has long made him a nemesis of the Texans. The Texans must overcome their kryptonite as the playoffs are in arms reach for the first time all season. […]
Are we in an Obsessive Alex Bregman Watch at this point? It’s been hard for me to get there, given that the budget likely accommodates one impact starting pitcher acquired via free agency *OR* one impact bat acquired via free agency. But I think there is broad-based, reasonable speculation at this point that if the Cubs were to trade for a starting pitcher, their efforts to spend the unused funds on a big bat would accelerate. But since no starting pitchers have been traded anywhere, and ...

When Indiana and Kentucky announced that they’d be reviving a rivalry series, back in 2023, the teams were led by Mike Woodson and John Calipari, respectively. A lot has changed for both programs since then. For starters, the ground has even shifted for each program dramatically since the Week 4 AP men’s basketball rankings came […]
LIVERPOOL VS. BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION | Saturday, December 13th |Premier League | Anfield3PM GMT/10AM EST Fabian Hürzeler is under some pressure, with Brighton’s form a bit inexplicable this season: wins against Chelsea and Manchester City matched with draws with West Ham United, Wolves, Fulham, and Tottenham.

The Wisconsin Badgers had a humiliating 90-60 loss to the No. 23 Nebraska Cornhuskers on Wednesday in a game that was close through the first 15 minutes before the latter blew it open. Wisconsin really struggled defensively, and it felt like their effort was much lower than usual, as they had the worst loss of […]

Both of those games featured extended […]
For just the seventh time in 24 games, the Lakers lost on Wednesday. To be past the quarter pole of the season and winning at a nearly 71% rate while boasting a top-four seed in the conference, the Lakers — and their fans — should be proud of where they are, particularly when accounting for […]
We welcome back our friend Joe Buono of IslesFix to rediscover Mathieu Schneider, an excellent defenseman who made a big impact on the Islanders in a surprisingly short period of time. The “other” piece of the disastrous Kirk Muller trade, Schneider was a born-and-bred New Yorker and the rare player who actually looked forward to […]
The Buffalo Bills face off against the New England Patriots this weekend, and this game could decide the AFC East division champ. With a victory, New England will clinch their first division title since the 2019 season, which would simultaneously break a six-year streak of division titles for the Bills, who have won it every […]

While the Brewers have mostly stood pat this offseason, their NL Central foes […]

Sometimes when you lose something, you don't realize how much it's missed until it shows up again. Something that was harder when a vital component is missing suddenly becomes easy.
