Football recruiting is often chaotic at best, with the landscape constantly changing. This goes for both the school and the player. It’s difficult enough for high school players to pick a college, let alone trying to decide where to play football.

Today would have been Roy Halladay’s 49th birthday. Depending on who you ask, Roy Halladay is either the best or second-best Blue Jays starter of all time, but there’s no question that he and Dave Stieb top the list in franchise history. Stieb was the best AL pitcher of the 1980s, while Halladay dominated the […]

Morning, all! Adam and I were at the game last night, though Adam left in the sixth and missed the theatrics. That was something. Chris Martin made a rehab appearance for Round Rock on Tuesday and batters teed off on his splitter. Martin doesn’t know if it’s a mechanical issue or execution and described the […]
Indiana football’s unprecedented two-year rise from the depths of irrelevance to the best team in the sport spurred a wave of optimism across college football. If the Hoosiers can do it, why not us?

The schedule release will kick off at 8 p.m. tonight, and then we’ll know when the Falcons are playing which teams and how much we should lose our minds over all of that. For what it’s worth, the Falcons seem to be preparing to drop their schedule a little earlier at 7:30, which is nice […]
Not for that reason, though. Teaching is tiring enough as it is—at baseline, I’m annoyed, frustrated, and underpaid. Happy Finals Week. Students don’t read, can’t write, and yet Michigan State’s admission rates aren’t getting any better. (This is a Big Ten blog, remember.) Use of artificial intelligence abounds, and some Big Ten institutions are just […]

The Las Vegas Raiders were awful in 2025. We all know how bad the offense was, but the problems wasn’t all on that side of the ball. The defense had big problems as well. Yet, it wasn’t all bad on defense. Under former defensive coordinator Patrick Graham, the Raiders were able to get off the […]
When the Philadelphia 76ers prevailed over the Boston Celtics in impressive fashion, coming back from a 3-1 series deficit, the consensus in the NBA universe was that this series was going to be much more competitive than what you would expect from a 3-vs-7 matchup.
