The Syracuse Orange (19-4, 9-3) continued to handle business on Thursday night, securing its most dominant win in ACC play this season after soundly defeating the Boston College Eagles (4-21, 0-12) 93-59 in Chestnut Hill. It was an expected result for the Orange considering BC entered this contest with no conference wins and a 16-game […]
The Baltimore Orioles enter 2026 with plenty of questions, most notably in a starting rotation that lacks the depth and dominance it showed in 2024. With uncertainty on the mound, the offense will need to carry more of the load. That makes Jordan Westburg’s health and production pivotal to the team’s success. After a 2025 […]
Yesterday we opened the discussion about the Phillies impending youth movement by asking what your expectations were for Justin Crawford. Today, we’ll discuss another one of the Phillies top prospects poised to make a major impact on the big-league club in 2026. It’s been an unconventional path to the Majors for Andrew Painter to say […]
When the New Orleans Saints selected cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry with the 41st pick in the 2024 NFL draft, the long-term outlook was that he could eventually replace Marshon Lattimore, whose time in the Big Easy was nearing its end. After a bumpy rookie season, the light at the end of the tunnel has never been […]
Happy Super Bowl week! It must be a truly magical experience to support an NFL team that has actually played in a Super Bowl this millennium. For the Dallas Cowboys, the glory days of the mid-90s feel more like ancient folklore than living memory. It has been 30 years since the Cowboys last lifted the Lombardi Trophy […]
Jamaal Lascelles has completed a permanent move from Newcastle United to Leicester City, ending more than a decade at St James’ Park. The 32-year-old centre back was made available for transfer despite Newcastle’s defensive injuries, with Fabian Schar ruled out until April following ankle surgery. Lascelles made 253 appearances for Newcastle after joining from Nottingham […]
After a month of 2026 NFL Mock Drafts heavily projecting the Detroit Lions to select an offensive lineman in the first round, there was a dramatic shift towards defense over the past week of projections. Some of this could be associated with two strong defense teams competing in the Super Bowl this weekend, but we […]
The 5 issues with the college football calendar. A lot of talk has been made about the issues with the calendar and trying to fix it. This post states the biggest potential fixes are: starting the season with week 0 (which has a lot of traction), moving the CFP up a week, moving signing day […]
I know this is a site devoted to college sports, but forgive me as I pay tribute to a childhood hero who, nearly 60 years after his greatest act, is still top of mind to a generation (or more) of Detroit sports fans. The death of a childhood sports hero is never easy. It often […]
It has been a very big week for the Tigers, indeed, or at least a very big week for the checkbooks in the front office. First the Tigers announced their deal with leftie Framber Valdez, one that proved the team was not afraid to shell out a decent chunk of change for a talented left-handed […]
In Today’s Links: the all important injury updates for Nick Emmanwori, things Stacy Rost has learned this week, the unlikely duo of Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Devon Witherspoon, how the Seattle Seahawks culture and connectedness helped shape a Super Bowl team, a position-by-position breakdown between the New England Patriots and the ‘Hawks, a couple of game […]
Number 4 on our list is a game rarely discussed. You could say this game has gotten lost in Bears history. But this is a significant win that announced to the country that the Monsters of the Midway were back. What went into ranking these games? I think what team they beat matters. I think […]
Thank goodness we can focus solely on the Milwaukee Bucks on the court, not the trade rumors, as they host the Indiana Pacers tonight in a Central Division tank-off. Milwaukee has successfully defeated the Pacers in their previous two games this year. Where We’re At Despite Shams Charania’s and Brian Windhorst’s best efforts, the Milwaukee […]

Wednesday was a busy one for the Red Sox: the 40-man roster is full once more (IKF and Mickey Gasper) and the team is, presumably, set. There are question marks remaining, like where Marcelo Mayer will play or what level Triston Casas begins the season at, or if, at this late stage, they trade an […]
Date 2/7 || Time 6:30 || Venue DeanDome || Video ESPN America’s greatest sports rivalry resumes Saturday when #4 Duke visits #14 UNC. The focus will naturally be on freshmen stars Cameron Boozer and Caleb Wilson, but that’s an oversimplification. First, there are a number of good players on both teams and second, it’s not […]
The New England Patriots have played in some challenging weather conditions over the second half of the season, but Super Bowl LX against the Seattle Seahawks will not fall into that same category. In fact, if the current forecast turns out accurate, the game will be their most pleasant since early November. According to NFL […]
Blaine already reported that the Los Angeles Rams will play the San Francisco 49ers in Australia for the 2026 season, and I wanted to own that I shared last year that L.A. would be taking on the Philadelphia Eagles in 2026 in another continent. I should’ve put “reportedly” in the headline because it was reportedly […]
The Colts have to make a decision on some of their own players in pretty short order. Less than two weeks from now, teams can start designating a player as franchise or transition. The rules say that you can only choose one. The following list from Spotrac, are the major players who are eligible for […]
Author’s Note: I meant to post this before the second half tipped off on Thursday night, but my wifi crashed on Wednesday night, so I had to delay until I fixed that mess. Apologies, but cut me some slack — I only spend a million hours per year on this stupid low-major league. We’re at […]

We’ll keep you up to date on the Charles Bediako situation. He will learn today whether an injunction will be granted to keep […]
Tom Friend of Sports Business Journal has reported a new possible twist in the on-going saga of Main Street Sports Group, as it related to the Atlanta Braves. In the article from SBJ, it notes that two MLB teams – the Braves and the Los Angeles Angels – have opted not to join the other […]
Super Bowl LX Player Props Super Bowl LX features the most improbable championship matchup in some time. The Seattle Seahawks entered the NFL season at 60-1 odds while the New England Patriots were 80-1 to win the title. Both teams defied preseason projections that positioned them as rebuilding squads rather than legitimate contenders. The Seahawks […]
It has been a busy, exciting, and possibly incomplete offseason for the Baltimore Orioles. President of Baseball Operations Mike Elias has arguably been the most aggressive executive in the league this winter. The coaching staff has a bunch of new faces, including rookie manager Craig Albernaz. A bonafide “frontline” arm has alluded them to this […]
