After grievously missing weight in last Saturday’s super featherweight debut against O’Shaquie Foster, Stephen Fulton has predictably vacated his WBC featherweight belt. What was originally an interim title defense between titlist Bruce Carrington and challenger Carlos Castro, the co-feature for Teofimo Lopez vs Shakur Stevenson on January 31st, will now have the full title on […]
Over in the Facebook comments on our recap of the Marquette men’s basketball loss to Wisconsin, reader Michael P. posed this question: Can this team be fixed this year? My gut reaction to that question was this: Step 1: Reversing the downward trend. I legitimately think they’re getting worse. So, obviously, that made my brain […]

The weather conditions in Chicago are going to be extremely challenging for the Cleveland Browns’ game against the Chicago Bears. With temperatures forecasted to hit -20°F and dangerously cold winds, both teams will face a unique challenge in all phases of the game. The Browns will need to focus on a few key areas of the game to overcome these conditions […]
There is no doubt that Allegiant Stadium is a beautiful facility. It’s a treat to step in it every time. But, the reality is, it has yet to become a productive home for the Las Vegas Raiders in terms of the bottom line of professional football — -wins and losses. The Raiders are just 20-29 […]
Buckle up, folks. The Pittsburgh Penguins are reportedly trading goalie Tristan Jarry to the Edmonton Oilers. Elliotte Friedman was first to the case. Pierre Lebrun added in more confirmation. Obviously much more to come as news comes in for this developing story.
They’re too good to tank, not good enough to contend. There might be help to be found in Vancouver—but not who you're thinking.
It’s the end of another week here at Hammer and Rails with the Volleyball team advancing to the Elite Eight last night and the men’s basketball team preparing for a home game against Marquette this weekend. The end of the week also means it’s time for the survey results. This week I asked if the […]
Welcome to the 2025 edition of Ranking the Rockies, where we take a look back at every player to log playing time for the Rockies in 2025. The purpose of this list is to provide a snapshot of the player in context. The “Ranking” is an organizing principle that’s drawn from Baseball Reference’s WAR (rWAR). […]
Cleveland Browns (3-10) The Browns put together one of their best offensive performances of the season last week but still came up short of a victory. Their stingy defense surprisingly gave up 31 points and 184 rushing yards to the Tennessee Titans at home. That overshadowed their offense totaling over 400 yards and 22 first […]
Four years ago, the 2026 senior class entered Syracuse as one of the most heralded in school history. After three years of helping build the program back up to national relevance, they’re back for one final run towards Memorial Day. Given everything they’ve meant to the turnaround, it’s no surprise that four seniors were selected […]
I didn’t realize until I went to a Nippon Professional League game in Japan just how much sports fashion is a thing here in the United States. Walking the streets there, you don’t see a whole lot of NPB merch being worn. Sure, you see some ball caps, some stickers, that sort of thing. It […]
“These are important, but it’s not the end-all,” head coach Brian Smith said about early-season competition Nov. 9. “It just gives us a lot of (time) to coach our kids for the first time.” No. 12 Mizzou wrestling came into the 2025-26 season featuring six new starters in its lineup, whether that was first-time starters […]
For Week 15, the New Orleans Saints (3-10) are back home to take on the Carolina Panthers (7-6) in the Caesars Superdome. So, let’s jump right in and take a look at some of the Canal Street Chronicles staff’s predictions for this week’s matchup between the Saints and Panthers. NIC: KYLE: CALEB: What do you […]
Commanders links Articles Commanders.com Practice notes | Ben Sinnott ready to ‘do what I know I can do’ “I’m excited to…do what I know I can do,” Sinnott said. Sinnott was the second tight end taken off the board when the Commanders selected him with the 53rd overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. He […]
Let’s hear it for Atlanta! The Atlanta Falcons pulled off a ridiculous comeback against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday night. Neither team is a threat to the Seattle Seahawks, as the Falcons have already been eliminated from the postseason and the Buccaneers are now in significant playoff peril. But it’s now the second time […]
The Detroit Lions (8-5) and Los Angeles Rams (10-3) will square off in a Week 15 matchup at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, California. “Very good opponent, playing at a very high level,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said earlier this week. “They’ve got players at every level. Good coaching, productive team. This’ll be a big […]
Morning all! And happy Friday! The A’s almost came away from the annual Winter Meetings without making any moves or additions, but just snuck in a deal with right-handed reliever Mark Leiter Jr. before the end of the work week. That’s just all we know about though. The foundations for future moves and signings could […]
The Miami Dolphins are underdogs on MNF this week for good reason, but their new-look offense should have the Steelers on high alert.
The Cubs have not yet made any sort of major free agent signing or trade acquisition this offseason. In fact, the Winter Meetings were pretty quiet on the transaction front, with the exceptions of the signings of Pete Alonso, Robert Suarez and Edwin Diaz, all by teams other than the Cubs. This, you already know. […]
It is no secret that pitching is a major concern for the Washington Nationals. As a team, they posted a 5.35 ERA, the worst mark since the franchise moved to DC. There is also a strong possibility that the Nats trade their best pitcher, MacKenzie Gore. This made me wonder about how Paul Toboni and […]
When Luke Weaver joined the Yankees in September of 2023, it was with the lowest of expectations. The former first-rounder and top-50 prospect never fulfilled that pedigree with the Cardinals, who shipped him off to the Diamondbacks as part of a package to acquire Paul Goldschmidt after the 2018 campaign. In his first year with […]
Three of the top relief pitchers on the free agent market this offseason have signed three-year deals, as Edwin Díaz has departed to sign with the Dodgers, former Padres closer Robert Suarez has signed with the Braves, and Devin Williams has signed with the Mets. We’ve already taken a quick look at the current state […]
