Happy Opening Day, Braves Country! During Thursday’s presser, Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss informed the media that Drake Baldwin would be in the Opening Day lineup, but not behind the dish. Instead, Baldwin will be in the DH role while Jonah Heim is behind the plate. It’s a pretty interesting way to roll things out. […]
I knew I didn’t have 12 hours of football in me Saturday morning, but I damned sure wanted to get in about 8 along with some 2nd round Huskers volleyball action. First off, it was #2 favorite team, Georgia – ok, let’s call them 1A after my beloved Huskers – exacting revenge on Alabama for […]
Chris Paul is far past his prime. His role on any NBA basketball team has become veteran mentor and as always an extension of the coaching staff. The days of him being a leading man on a championship team are long gone. Chris Paul hasn’t shied away from the fact that this season will be […]

So how was your Saturday? If you’re a Duke fan (and that seems like a reasonable bet since you’re here), it was probably pretty good. Duke won at Michigan State (again) and Saturday evening, beat Virginia in overtime to win the 2025 ACC Football Championship. The interception by Luke Mergott when Virginia tried to run […]
Texas A&M was announced as the #7 seed on Selection Sunday. Their first round opponent? #10 Miami. Both the Aggies and the Canes enter the College Football Playoff for the first time. Both teams also got in by virtue of an at-large bid, with Texas A&M and Miami coming up short of a conference championship […]
Yes, we just did this but it was so fun why not jump back in? The Canes are right back in action this evening as they welcome the San Jose Sharks into Raleighwood for a game that will also serve as the beginning of sorts to the Canes’ celebration of their Stanley Cup win 20 […]

The Buffalo Bills are finally back home in Highmark Stadium, their first home game since hosting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on November 16. It’s safe to say Buffalo’s excited to be back home, and to welcome the Cincinnati Bengals yet again, snow has arrived. The last time these two teams met in Orchard Park, NY […]
Turns out winning a conference championship isn’t that big a deal for the football playoff selection committee as the committee left ACC champions Duke out of the playoffs. On the one hand it’s understandable. Duke finished the regular season at 8-5 and no one who got in had close to five losses. Duke’s were to […]
With the Edmonton Oilers lacking a physical presence and Noah Philp landing on the Long-Term Injured Reserve, the team called up left winger Connor Clattenberg. He was been making a name for himself in Bakersfield in his first full time rookie pro season with the Condors, playing a mere 16 AHL games prior to his…
When I wrote the Devils’ November Month in Review, the Devils were in first place in the Metropolitan Division. They were in second place in the Eastern Conference. Since then, four games to start December, stringing a five-game losing streak along, has slipped the Devils to 10th in the Eastern Conference, now with more games […]
It wasn’t a great defensive outing for the Buffalo Bills, but with a Pick 6 by Christian Benford, a subsequent interception by A.J. Epenesa and some very obvious MVP-type play from QB Josh Allen, they were able to defeat the Cincinnati Bengals 39-34 on Sunday afternoon. At times, Joe Burrow and the Bengals with WR […]
After playing a matinee matchup against the New York Rangers yesterday, which saw the Avs win 3-2 in overtime thanks to a ridiculous goal from Nathan MacKinnon, Colorado looks to sweep this back-to-back against the Philadelphia Flyers here today. This will be the first of two regular-season meetings between these two teams. Colorado Avalanche (20-2-6) […]
One of the nice features of advanced metrics is the ability to compare game data year to year. Advanced stats can remove garbage time points and yards, adjust for opponent strength, and compare your results to every other play run in college football that year. They compare results to historical averages. They dig into the […]
Newcastle United expect to make selective sales across the next two windows, with The Athletic’s Chris Waugh reporting that Joe Willock is the likeliest departure as the club reshapes their midfield. Waugh wrote that Newcastle “are keen to avoid becoming seen as a ‘selling club’,” but accept that a notable outgoing cannot be dismissed given […]
For the first time in program history, Texas A&M is headed to the College Football Playoff. After an 11-1 regular season, the Aggies enter the Playoff as the No. 7 seed, and as such, will host a first round game at Kyle Field. And in a somewhat surprising move, the opponent is not the team […]
For the first time in history, the Sun Belt crashed the College Football Playoff.

James Madison will battle No. 5 seed Oregon (11-1, 8-1 Big Ten) […]

[…]
It wasn’t pretty (other than Ilya Sorokin’s saves and Calum Ritchie’s cheeky finish), but the Isles pulled it off again to collect two regulation points and stun the Lightning in Tampa. Their march against recent Cup winners and their back-to-back weekend continues early this evening with a visit to the Panthers. Florida is also playing […]
The back-half of the 2025 NFL season will continue Sunday at 1:00 PM, with a few interesting matchups including the Commanders against the Vikings, and the Colts against the Jaguars.

The Indianapolis Colts are on the road to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in week 14 of the 2025 season, kickoff is at 1:00 p.m. EST. Well we’ve hit that part of the season we were all dreading and things are not going great. But how bad is it, really? Indy’s worst loss of the season was […]
