There are many things different about the way baseball is played from 1957 to today. There’s probably not anything that makes that more apparent than pitcher usage in general.

After losing their first game in 83 days, the New England Patriots will now look to bounce back in primetime against the Baltimore Ravens.

Absolute nightmare fuel for Edmonton Oilers fans on Thursday night as goaltender Tristan Jarry left the game against the Boston Bruins due to a lower-body injury. The play occurred in the second period as Jarry appeared to have tweaked something during some lateral movements and it was worrisome because of the fact it was a non-contact injury. He was stretching from post to post to make a save and then felt something wrong. Cal Pickard came in relief and finished off the win. Calvin Pickard ha...

Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Frederik Andersen is a trade candidate to keep an eye on this season. The Hurricanes have goaltending depth for the first time in a long time, and with Andersen undergoing the first 'losing' season of his career to this point, with a 5-7-2 record, the Hurricanes could be looking to flip the Danish netminder after the holiday roster freeze. Andersen, 36, is in the final season of his contract, earning $2.7 million AAV. The team is currently carrying three goaltend...
When a team has struggled as much as this Liverpool team has this season, it can be a little dangerous to quickly buy in to any signs of improvement or upticks in results. There’s always, after all, a risk of a false dawn. A feat that the team will soon revert to previous form. Liverpool […]

Not sure this team ever came back from summer vacation tbh
The Miami Dolphins may have unleashed the real Tua Tagovailoa, who no longer has to hide behind the facade of being the team's poster child.
This 2025 NFL season hasn’t been what was expected from the Arizona Cardinals. In a division full of some of the league’s best ballclubs, the Cardinals aren’t one of them. But there are silver linings. And with some, you don’t have to look too hard. Arizona tight end Trey McBride might be this year’s brightest […]

Even when I try to go simple with my bold prediction, it still doesn’t come true. Last week’s prediction was a big ask, despite it being straightforward. This week’s bold prediction might be too much to ask for in this game, but as much as the Detroit Lions are in must-win mode, so am I. […]
