MLB Trade Rumors | Anthony Franco: Luis Gil, who started the season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre since the Yankees did not need a fifth starter, was recalled after yesterday’s game. To make room on the 40-man, the team will designate Cade Winquest for assignment. New York took Winquest in the Rule 5 Draft over the offseason, […]
Shortly after one of the Seattle Mariners, Toronto Blue Jays, Milwaukee Brewers, or (gasp) Los Angeles Dodgers wins this year’s World Series, Emilio Pagan will once again find himself a free agent. Signed to a two-year, $16 million deal prior to the start of the 2024 season, Pagan became the closer of the Cincinnati Reds […]
Two games into the season, and it's important to take a deep breath and remember that, good or bad, we can't overindex on anything we've seen so far. It's easy to get caught up in the hype of a small sample size and let it deceive you. That happened last season, when Matt Boldy put together not...
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa made it clear that leadership is failing within the organization, but maybe he needs to look in the mirror.
Mike and Dan recap the Islanders’ first two games of the season, which were mostly bad except for two new guys who were actually trying to win. We asked them for a couple of wins, something they haven’t started a campaign with in ages. They did not do that, losing in Pittsburgh and against Washington […]
A rare Monday afternoon home opener for your Ottawa Senators
A look at the winners and losers from the Miami Dolphins' Week 6 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers to fall to 1-5.
Note: The PDF featuring the entire MAAC Season Preview, all 31,166 words, and previews of all 13 teams, is available in PDF form at the bottom of this webpage. The hardest press conference that I do every single year is the loser of the MAAC Championship game. I don’t have a favorite team in the […]
The Minnesota Wild have started the season 1-1-0 with a victory over the St. Louis Blues and an ugly loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets in the home opener. The guys break down both of these games and get into some hot takes at the start of the year! Leave any questions or comments down below, an...
Happy Monday! I’m hammering this out as fast as humanly possible so I can wrap up the rest of my packing before we leave for a fall trip to **checks notes** Tennessee. Ok, first things first: The James Franklin thing is clearly the fault of all you people. I told you I didn’t want to […]
Kansas Jayhawks News EESPN’s recap of the game Saturday, for those brave souls who wish to relive it While most fans threw tortillas on Saturday, apparently one threw a pocket knife at the Kansas sideline and hit a staffer Here’s a breakdown of the Kansas o-line’s breakdown against Tech The Capital Journal takes a look […]
Newcastle United are preparing a move to sign Alexander Sorloth in 2026 as they continue searching for a reliable striker to replace Alexander Isak’s goal output. Reports from Spain claim the club is readying an offer worth around €50 million (£44 million) for the Atletico Madrid forward, who has struggled for consistent starts this season. […]
Following Saturday’s three-point win over Washington State, a game in which unpleasantness abounded, Lane Kiffin’s disposition was the opposite of his familiar “You Got This, Have a Great Tuesday” Instagram vibe. The source of his simmering anger was Ole Miss’ sloppy, uninspired, and way-too-close win over the Cougars. A game that should’ve never come down […]
By the time Gameweek 8 kicks off, the second international break will be done, and FPL managers can finally get back to business. If you’re hoping to move up the ranks, choosing a few low-owned players might be the best way to do it. These differentials can make a big difference when they deliver points […]
Kirill Kaprizov worked out with Evgeni Malkin in the offseason, which is both fitting and endearing. Kaprizov, 28, the small-town cherub from Novokuznetsk in the Oblast, learning from Malkin, 39, the wily veteran from Magnitogorsk. Even someone with a steely-cold heart has to love that. A month...
It's becoming a weekly issue after a Miami Dolphins loss; someone is throwing someone else under the proverbial bus. Eventually, it will hit a wall.
Good morning, baseball fans! My plan was to write up a game thread, of sorts, for the playoff games taking place today and tomorrow. But then I remembered that I write these on Friday, and as of the time I am writing this, there’s absolutely nothing set in stone for Monday and Tuesday, other than […]
Red Wings Rumblings Yzerman says Red Wings’ rookie trio ‘exceeded our expectations’ this fall Here’s a nice piece from the Red Wings staff featuring Yzerman’s perspective of his homegrown talent finally making paydirt. We’re just two games into the 2025-26 NHL Regular Season, but I haven’t seen anything from Axel Sandin-Pellikka, Emmitt Finnie, or Michael Brandsegg-Nygard that I can complain about. It’s also too early to tell what the ceiling is for these three rookies. I’ve got a go...
Florida State loses their eighth-straight ACC game upending the progress we thought they’d made. The other top teams take care of business setting up several big matchups next week. In response to a commenter’s request, I’ve added overall record in parentheses and ACC record in double parentheses. TIER: ACC’s Bottom Feeders 17. North Carolina (2-3 […]
The Scottsdale Scorpions, featuring the Detroit Tigers prospects playing in the Arizona Fall League got their short season underway starting on Monday, October 6. The two big names for the Tigers are top prospect Kevin McGonigle and fellow infielder Max Anderson. Both had good games to kick off the Fall League, but more interesting has […]
Trae Young might be the most interesting player in the NBA as we approach the start of the 2025-26 season. Entering his eight year – and (in case you haven’t heard) the final guaranteed year of his contract – Young finally has a roster worthy of his immense playmaking talent, and there will be a […]
Saturday was supposed to be an easy day of taking in Ole Miss Football. So easy, that apparently many of the people who might normally attend a game, decided not to. That might be addressed in a different post, but I digress. A win is a win and 6-0 is 6-0. Kiffin got it right […]
Just the facts Know your enemy Game notes See ya this afternoon!
The 0-2 Islanders’ homestand continues tonight (duh, this afternoon) with a visit from the Winnipeg Jets, who’ve opened the season by announcing a long-term extension with one of their franchise players, Kyle Connor, who promptly scored a hat trick in their season-opening loss. With some line mixups during Saturday’s home opener, no wins yet, and […]
Latest reports indicate increased interest in the Miami Dolphins edge-rushers. Could this be the end of Bradley Chubb with the franchise?
Another early game on tap for the Winnipeg Jets ( 1-1-0 ) as they head out on their first road trip of the 2025-26 NHL campaign, as they set to square off against the New York Islanders ( 0-2-0 ) when the puck eventually drops at noon Central. The True Northers split their opening home stand versus a couple of Western Conference foes, while the Long Islanders clashed with a couple Metropolitan Division rivals only to walk away with a couple of narrow losses ( 4-3 PIT/4-2 WSH ). Injur...
