Three wins and a postponement. Not bad for a day’s work in the Dodgers’ minor league system, with the Comets now moving to a record above .500, earning their 18th win of the year in 35 games. Player of the day Right at the core of a terrific team performance on the offensive side of […]
We didn’t get the result we wanted last Saturday – and QB1 going down for the season was not on the Bingo card, either – but good or bad, Corn Nation’s Stephen Bruce always gets some great shots. He was right there for fans who understood the assignment, Emmett gashing the Trojans defense and Dylan […]
In what many outside of the two cities consider a tank off between two bad teams, the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets will match up in Week 10. With the two teams taking different paths toward the 2026 NFL draft, including a rumor that the Jets are not looking at the quarterbacks this year, […]
At the bye week, I wanted to take a step back and look at Jalen Hurts’ 2025 season so far. This article brings together every one of my weekly film reviews through the first eight games, using quotes and key takeaways from those pieces to form a complete assessment of Hurts’ season to date. Film […]
The Oilers, unfortunately, blew another couple of leads this week, but they still played some good hockey against some quality teams. The good news is that if they continue to put themselves in a position to lead, they’ll eventually start closing out those games more consistently. That’s a much better situation than constantly having to…
The Minnesota Vikings are returning home to U.S. Bank Stadium to face yet another 2024 playoff team with high expectations for 2025, the Baltimore Ravens. It was frustrating enough that the NFL schedulers deliberately made things difficult with back-to-back European games, followed by a quick turnaround to travel to L.A. to face a Chargers team […]
The Detroit Lions offense is in a bit of a funk, and the team is actively searching for answers. While the team ranks second in the NFL in points per game (29.9), they haven’t been nearly as efficient as of late. Since Week 6, they’re averaging just 21.7 points per game, rank 19th in EPA/play, […]
They say it is always darkest before the dawn, but no one tells you how dark it can get. Or how long the dark will last. Fitting that the darkness for the Dallas Mavericks hits as we entered daylight savings time, turned our clocks back, and settle into the darker days. If you’ve been watching […]
The World Series is over, every team has started it’s annual start-of-the-offseason roster housekeeping, and the hot stove is about to heat up. For this week’s MaiLLbag, I’ve picked four questions and enlisted Max, Kate, and Eric for an assist. If you asked a question in the site comments or on BlueSky and haven’t seen […]
Syracuse men’s soccer has earned a spot in the ACC quarterfinals against NC State, after their 2-1 win over Virginia Tech on Wednesday. Syracuse pulled out the close victory against Virginia Tech on two goals from CB Tim Brdaric, as the Orange mainly found offensive success on balls into the box all night. The game […]
The New Orleans Saints (1-8) travel to Bank of America Stadium to take on the Carolina Panthers (5-4) on Sunday, November 9, 2025, in a critical NFC South matchup for both teams. For fantasy football managers, this game presents a tricky landscape, particularly with the struggling Saints’ offense and a resurgent Panthers defense. Here is […]
How was he acquired? The Braves made a run on college arms in the 2023 draft, and Braun was a part of that run as he was selected in the 6th round, with Atlanta using the 189th overall pick of the draft to take the righty out of Cal State Northridge. Braun received a signing […]
Utah State (4-4) (2-2) is coming off a bye week and is preparing to face off against Nevada (1-7) (0-4) as they look to stay in the hunt for bowl eligibility. On the season, Bryson Barnes leads the Aggies in passing with 1,808 yards and 14 touchdowns to three interceptions, completing 134 of his 209 […]

Last week: outlined a path to a Heels win 27-13. Ding ding ding! Won $10, not quite a chicken dinner at Bojangles these days. For Homecoming, UNC could use a sure win, preferably a one-sided affair after halftime. The “progress!” narrative could really use a P4 team worse than Syracuse, which unfortunately are in short […]
Dan Quinn spoke to the media after today’s practice. The Washington Commanders will host the Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon, and he named this week’s team captains and highlighted Jeremy Reaves representing special teams. Chris Rodriguez Jr is the captain for the offense and Daron Payne’s the defensive captain vs the Lions. Quinn confirmed the […]
1971Todd Ritchie, author of one of the worst seasons in White Sox history, was born in Portsmouth, Va. He came to the White Sox from Pittsburgh in a ballyhooed deal that saw three pitchers dealt away for a player in Ritchie — who was never destined for much more than middle-rotation innings-eater. And in 2002 […]
Earlier this week, the Miami Marlins announced their new General Manager, and it was a name very familiar to Phillies fans. Quick refresher: After the Ruben Amaro reign ended, the Phillies were determined to pivot hard in the other direction and become the most analytically based organization in baseball. To that end, before the 2018 […]
There’s just one game to break down this week, so it’s time for an extra-deep over-analysis of Northwestern’s 70-47 win over Mercyhurst to open their season. On the surface, this was an ugly one. NU shot just 37% from the field, 26% from three and missed 11 free throws. The only ‘Cats player who stood […]
The Colorado Rockies announced Friday morning that they have named long-time football and baseball executive Paul DePodesta as their new head of baseball operations. Effective immediately, DePodesta will take the title of president of baseball operations. “I have always kept my eye on baseball and this is an incredible opportunity to help make an impact […]
There were bits of Jays’ news yesterday that I missed. Not that it was news, but the Jays game Bo Bichette a Qualifying Offer. $22.025, which sounds like a lot of money. Bo will be looking for a contract for around ten years. That’s a longer contract than I’d want to give him, but if […]
Well, the days of fighting for that first win is officially over! Coming off a much needed 112-103 victory against the Pacers, led by a Michael Porter Jr. 32 point night in 35 minutes, the Nets were able to finally get a W after being the only team left without one. Again, we aren’t expecting […]
For the first time since the 2013/14 season, the Celtics are among the top five teams in long mid-range frequency in the NBA. In a nutshell, the last time this happened, it was Brad Stevens’ first season as head coach and the Celtics’ only season without a playoff appearance in the last 17 years. Will […]
The Chicago Bears put up a bunch of eye-opening numbers in their Week 9 win against the Cincinnati Bengals, but none stood out to me like one that was tied to quarterback Caleb Williams. 90.8: That is the overall grade Pro Football Focus gave Caleb Williams for his Week 9 performance in the Bears’ win gainst the Bengals. It is the highest single-game grade Williams has earned from PFF this season. Put a star on that one and hang it on the fridge, folks. The only number that is a...
Buccaneers News Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin might not return until late November or early December as he continues recovering from a fibula injury sustained five weeks ago. Godwin has missed three straight games since suffering the injury during the Week 5 victory over Seattle. The 29-year-old did not practice Thursday as the […]
The ‘Cats are back in action this weekend. But it’s no normal weekend for Northwestern football: it will be partaking in a Friday night special under the lights, heading on the road to take on the No. 19 USC Trojans out in Los Angeles. Sitting at 5-3 currently and still searching for a sixth win […]
