Value of things: By the numbers

I’ve been writing for this site for going on five years now. I have been watching Houston Texans football since they beat Dallas 19-7. I have been watching Houston NFL football since the late 1970s. At no point did it ever feel like work. Last night did. A lot of it was a quick turnaround […]

Owen Tippett Should Top the Wild’s Christmas List

The Minnesota Wild must upgrade their top-six. Mats Zuccarello is still injured, and they are stuck with slotting both Vladimir Tarasenko and Marcus Johansson in their top six.

Is NFC West as good as it looks?

There are six teams tied for the best record in the NFC at 5-2 and three of those franchises are in the NFC West. There are only three teams in the AFC who are 5-2 or better and only one team, the Colts, has a better record at 6-1. Is the NFC West as good […]

2025-26 Carolina Basketball Freshmen Preview

Believe it or not, the 2025-26 Carolina basketball season is just around the corner. It feels like it has been quite a while since we were sweating out the Heels making it to the NCAA Tournament, which is likely because of all of the football distractions that took place since then. While the football distractions […]

2026 NHL Draft Watch List: NHL Central Scouting’s First Round Grades

On Monday, NHL Central Scouting released their preliminary watch list for the 2026 NHL Draft. They rate players as an A, B, C, W or LV, with an “A” grade meaning they’re labeling the player as a first-round prospect for the 2026 NHL Draft. A “B” is a second- or third-round grade, “C” is the fifth or sixth round, “W” is a sixth- or seventh-round grade and “LV” is for limited viewing (usually because of injury). A couple of the NHL draft writers I cite frequently shared their thoughts ...

Packers Film Room: A huge 4th down conversion in Arizona

Matt LaFleur has come under fire in the last couple of years for some of his decision-making on 4th down. The Shanahan tree guys had always been more conservative on 4th down than I would have thought (given how forward-thinking they are about offensive football), but LaFleur seemed to buck that trend early on, only […]

2025 Phillies player review: Weston Wilson

The actual season that Weston Wilson played is totally fine: bland, average, fungible. He’s a bench player and no more. There is honor in that as teams are always looking for bench bats that can produce. His path was marred by injury, but his actual place on the roster brings up some questions about how […]

The Good, the Bad, the Ugly: Week 8

Week eight featured the most anticipated game of the year as Boise State hosted UNLV. Could the Rebels get over the hump? Or would the Broncos make it known they are still the kings of the conference? There was also a key game in Logan that was essentially an elimination game for the Mountain West […]
