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 […]
Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a very safe and sound holiday with their families! With the start of 2026, which Mountain West men’s basketball programs are trending upward … and which have the arrow pointing down?! Stock Up: Nevada Nevada has quietly won six-straight, including a pair of 15- and 13-point wins over […]
For the second time in six days, the Blackhawks and Stars have a hockey date arranged, with Thursday’s events shifting venues to the United Center. Chicago won that prior meeting 4-3 with the aid of the shootout , with rookie Nick Lardis providing the winning tally during the final gimmick portion of the game to give the Hawks’ a much-needed pair of points, as that was one of Chicago’s three victories in the month of December and only win in the last nine games. Everything mentioned ...
As the calendar turns and we say goodbye to 2025, I’ve been thinking less about polls and playoff debates—and more about the moments that defined this Notre Dame season. Not rankings.Not selections.Moments. Here’s how I’ll remember the year: one defining play and one standout player from each of the 12 games. Week 1 at Miami […]
2025 is coming to a close today, and there have been lots of news stories and analyses done on players and leagues by a myriad of people this year. I want to end this year with two simple messages for the readers of this blog. There's nothing introspective nor profound about these two messages, but I think there's a significant shift that needs to happen when it comes to hockey. I say that because no matter what article from what year I read on this blog, the changes needed to make hockey bett...
Deep down, if we’re really honest with ourselves, we saw this coming. At least we should have. A leaky run defense combined with Nebraska’s All-American I-back sitting out the bowl game against a foe who was in the College Football Playoff discussion was simply a bad matchup. Doesn’t mean we have to like it; we […]
Pride Night rainbows are breaking out all over baseball during MLB Pride this June. And this year's Pride Guide winner is a legit shocker. The post No. 2 of 2025: 29 Major League Baseball teams rock Pride Night swag. 1 still refuses. appeared first on Outsports .
Happy New Year folks! I’m kicking off 2026 by forgetting that it was a Thursday and almost missing today’s Daily Bee (having also missed Tuesday’s). My resolution for this year is to forget the Daily Bee about as often as I did in 2025. Maybe a little more. Maybe even a little less? BVB News […]
The Toronto Maple Leafs are getting a big boost to their lineup for Thursday night's game against the Winnipeg Jets, as captain Auston Matthews is returning to action. Matthews missed the Leafs last game against the New Jersey Devils after blocking a shot last weekend against the Detroit Red Wings. He finished the game, but the swelling was too much the past few days, keeping Matthews out of the lineup against New Jersey. The Leafs went on to win the game 4-0, thanks to Joseph Woll standing on...
News item: So, okay, the guy who could have really helped the Cubs rotation isn’t available anymore. And here’s the money for Tatsuya Imai: Yes, the Cubs could easily have afforded that. Maybe it wasn’t totally about money — remember, Imai had said at one point that he wanted to challenge himself by NOT signing […]

Auston Matthews returns to the lineup as the Maple Leafs hope to kick a tired, struggling Winnipeg Jets team while it’s down tonight at Scotiabank Arena (7:00 p.m. EST, Sportsnet Ontario/TSN3).

Welcome to 2026, everybody. How’s it been so far? Fun? Exciting? Maybe kinda boring? All of those are acceptable answers. Considering that we just had as Juventus supporters, a little more of a low-key start to the new year is sounding pretty good right about now. But with the new year comes new things … […]
The year 2026 is upon us, Bo Horvat is an Olympian and something called the Utah Mammoth is in town to kick the new year off with a 3 p.m. EST start. Before the calendar flipped, the Islanders eked out a shootout win in Chicago in far-from-convincing performance against a injury-laden squad. Hopefully they’ve got […]
Joel Pereira: 6 Bailed out O’Connor with a fantastic save early on, getting his angles right to squeeze the shot, and diving down to his right well. Didn’t see much else in the first half, other than watching the post-bound effort go by him. Ended a quiet second half by dinking a lovely touch over […]
Dedicated Astros fans have been waiting all offseason for a big move and it looks like they get one as a New Year’s gift. It has been reported in multiple outlets that the Astros are in agreement with Japanese phenom Tatsuya Imai on a three year contract with opt outs after the first and second […]
MLB Rumors: Tatsuya Imai and the Houston Astros have agreed to a three year deal, per reports. The deal is for $19 million per year with $4 million per year in incentives, with Imai having opt outs after each season. Imai, 27, is a righthander who debuted in the NPB for the Seibu Lions in […]
As a lifelong fan of all three reincarnations of the Winnipeg Jets hockey team, I am well aware that us fans have had to deal with more than our fair share of disappointment over the years. Yet, I am not sure that any prior version of the Jets have been as disheartening as the 2025-26 roster. Coming off a fantastic campaign that saw them win their first President’s Trophy, the True North franchise’s trajectory has absolutely plummeted this season, with the club going from the best team in...
Whether you were at Rogers Place for the Oilers vs. Bruins, out and about, or home with your friends, family, or animals, I hope that whatever you did to ring in the new year was filled with happiness, friendship, and time spent doing whatever you wanted. I also hope that whatever you got up to…
No, the NFL playoff field isn’t quite finalized yet. However, the last two spots come down to head-to-head, win-and-in games between the Panthers and Bucs in the NFC South and the Ravens and Steelers in the AFC North. For those teams, the playoffs start this weekend, and those rosters include four Tar Heels. We’ll start […]
The Jets moved up one spot after a Cleveland Browns victory last week and now sit third overall. With a top-3 pick and the 18th overall selection, the Jets are stacked in what’s considered a weaker draft class. With eyes on April, here’s a look at how things may turn out. All selections are made […]
On Monday night, Houston Rockets center Steven Adams sprained his right ankle shortly before halftime. initially Adams went to the locker room, but it was later ruled that he would not return for the rest of the game. So far for the season, Adams is averaging 6 points and 8 rebounds, according to ESPN.com. Even […]
Unsurprisingly, there is little Jays’ news today. The team signed Josh Winchowski to a two-year minor league contract. Winchowski is recovering from ‘internal brace surgery’. He’ll likely be able to pitch towards the end of this season, but then he should be good to go the second year. He’s a right-handed, 27-year-old pitcher who has […]
Progress isn’t always linear, especially when the athlete in question isn’t old enough to buy a drink. At BYU, Egor Demin was a 6’9” walking mismatch who overwhelmed opponents with his unusual combination of size and coordination as a ball-handler. After all, he was the tallest guard measured at the NBA Combine since the league […]
So long and good riddance to that Berlanga fight, apparently. Fernando Sabatini reports that the WBA has officially elevated former interim super middleweight champion Jose Armando Resendiz to replace the departing Terence Crawford, ordering “Toro” to take on mandatory challenger Bektemir Melikuziev in the process. Resendiz (16-2, 11 KO), a longtime middleweight whose best prior […]
