We’ll keep track of every time a Dodgers player is optioned to the minor leagues during the 2026 season. Details on these transactions can also be found on our 40-man roster tracker, but here we will chronicle every specific time a player gets sent down, relative to the limits set by MLB. Major League rule […]
It’s hard to say people in this business are friends. Some of us are, but most of us are casual colleagues that run into each other every now and then. I have been doing this five questions feature for four or five years now. Chris Shepard from Stampede Blue has been a constant throughout that […]
The Los Angeles Rams are hoping to end their two-game losing streak against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 18. Los Angeles is looking to enter the playoffs on a high while Arizona has already booked their offseason vacation plans. Ahead of an important matchup for the Rams, I spoke with Seth Cox from Revenge of […]
Happy New Year, folks! Hopefully you had yourselves a decent stretch of “what year is it” days, as we now find ourselves in another one of those limbo Fridays before the real world returns (for many) on Monday. The Bruins, in surprising fashion, ended 2025 on a high note with a 6-2 win over the […]
It’s the penultimate week of the 2025 season. Lots of guys hurt. Postseason awards coming in. Seeds are still unknown. Let’s take a look back at Week 17 in the National Football League! Cooper DeJean Gotta start with DeJean. Just after I posted my Week 16 recap, we learned that DeJean was named NFC Defensive […]
If you weren’t painfully hungover or watching the college football playoffs on New Year’s Day, you probably saw some comments that Green Bay Packers offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich made about first-round rookie receiver Matthew Golden. Let’s not sugarcoat it. Here’s the full exchange: Reporter: Long-term, what does [Golden] have to do to have a bigger […]
Happy Portal Szn to those who celebrate. My favorite part of the season is the offseason. And the hot stove is already lit. On Nov. 4, 2023, the Illini played the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Starting QB Luke Altmyer got off to a blazing hot start. He completed 18 of his first 22 passes. As the […]
Garfield hates Mondays. If he was the coach of a struggling NFL team, he would absolutely despise this upcoming one. “Black Monday” is the day after the regular season in which NFL coaches learn their fate. Every year, there are surprises. Some coaches who should be fired somehow skate by while others who get released […]
Thank the good Lord above my wife was in New York City and my kids were at their grandparents because I was UNWELL for most of this game. As cardiac Rebs as it gets, but in the end your Ole Miss Rebels are the last SEC team standing. Like Drake said, “I mean, where the […]
Earlier this week, I wrote why I was cautiously optimistic about the Devils heading into the second half of the season. The Devils then proceeded to play some of the most uninspired and frankly gutless hockey we’ve seen from them over the next five periods in Toronto and Columbus. It took a third period explosion […]
Well, obviously that was horrible. Similar to the the last 2024 loss to Oklahoma, then the 2025 SECCG loss, I’m not going to try to talk you out of this one. (Notably, I’m not including the the Florida State loss, which was actually closer than it looked, nor the 2018 title loss to Clemson, where […]
For the first time in four years, I’m previewing a Detroit Lions game that I know is “meaningless.” It’s been a good run for On Paper and the Lions, but it’s hard to put a ton of effort into this Week 18 preview against the Chicago Bears when the stakes are nearly zero, and the […]
The Florida Panthers (21-15-3) and New York Rangers (19-18-5) will take it outdoors tonight at the 2026 Winter Classic at LoanDepot Park in Miami. Florida, which will sport uniforms inspired by the Tropical Hockey League’s Miami Clippers, blew a late two-goal lead in Tuesday night’s 3-2 overtime loss to the Montreal Canadiens. Leading goal-scorers Brad Marchand and Sam Reinhart lit the lamp in the third to give the Cats a seemingly comfortable cushion with just under five minutes to go. U...
Although the offseason is now two months through, there is still a plethora of major talent still waiting on where their careers will take them next. Outfielders Kyle Tucker and Cody Bellinger, who are at the cream of the crop for free agents at their position, still don’t have a home for the 2026 season. […]
Ohio State is at an inflection point offensively. The Buckeyes remain one of the most talented programs in the country, but recent postseason games, including the Miami matchup, have reinforced a familiar theme. Ohio State is not at its best when Ryan Day is forced to be both CEO head coach and primary playcaller. The […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
The New England Patriots are officially back in the playoffs, but eyes are now on the regular season finale as the No. 1 seed may still be on the line with some help. With that, let’s get into this week’s #PostPulpit Mailbag. How should the offense go about replacing Mack hollins ? – Evan G. […]
The Miami Dolphins have tough decisions ahead when the season ends, but one player is going to give the next GM a lot to think about.
Even as January 9, the second, extended deadline for collective bargaining agreement (CBA) negotiations fast approaches, the WNBA and WNBPA seem nowhere close to reaching a deal. As reported by ESPN’s Alexa Philippou, the two sides remain at odds over not just a revenue sharing model, but also “what should be considered revenue and how […]
The Tritons won 30 games last season and pushed Michigan to the brink in the Round of 64 of the NCAA Tournament. Eric Olen led UC San Diego on a magical run, ultimately parlaying that performance into the New Mexico job. In the offseason, UC San Diego lost almost every significant rotation player from that […]
Jaylon Thompson writes about the moves that have shaped the offseason. The Royals are hopeful Thomas can return to those numbers. Last season, he dealt with several injuries and underwent right foot surgery in September. He is expected to be ready for spring training as the Royals head to Surprise, Arizona. “Lane was the right […]
This post could’ve been titled “Reassessing the Giants’ payroll situation for 2026” as a sequel to this post from earlier in the offseason, but it’s less interesting than the truth, which is that, based on what’s publicly known about the team’s expenses, the San Francisco Giants have committed to the largest Baseball Operations budget in […]
It would appear that the San Francisco Giants have set their rotation. After agreeing to a one-year New Year’s Eve special with righty Tyler Mahle, the Giants now have five established starting pitchers under contract for 2026. You can quibble with the order if you want, but, assuming health (a big assumption, admittedly), these are […]
The first semester is officially over as we turn our calendars over to 2026 — Nebraska is 6-3 in duals, won another title at the Navy Classic and placed fourth at the National Duals Invitational. The 6th-ranked Huskers have dropped duals to #2 Ohio State (33-3) and twice to #5 Oklahoma State (33-6 and 22-12). […]
Happy New Year, CSR! The Panthers will face off against the Bucs in what could be their last game of the 2025 season, in a second dance that sees both teams vying for a playoff spot. Of course, the results of the Falcons-Saints game could render these results moot, but both teams should be going […]
I’ll admit I was still asleep when the word came down, that NPB ace Tatsuya Imai was signing with the Houston Astros for three years and $54 million guaranteed. Escalators exist on the deal that can give Imai another $3 million per, for a total possible AAV of $21 million — or some six million […]
