How many wins will the Dolphins have in 2025?

The Miami Dolphins dropped to 2-7 through the first nine weeks of the 2025 NFL season after losing to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football. While the rest of the league is waiting for their Week 9 contests, the Dolphins are already starting to work on the future – general manager Chris Grier has […]

Player review: Bryce Eldridge

Bryce Eldridge’s mid-September call-up was billed as a desperate search for an offensive boost in a desperate and flailing push for the postseason. Admittedly, a big ask for a 20 year old, and somewhat unsurprisingly, the team’s young top-prospect did not provide the much-needed kick in the pants. The Giants pulled at October’s push-door and […]

November Rain: Blackhawks at Oilers Preview

Chicago’s sojourn through Canada continues this weekend as the Blackhawks face off against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night. It’s a similar Cup-or-bust season for the Oilers, who lost in six games to the Florida Panthers in last summer’s after losing in seven games to the same Panthers in 2024. With Sasha Barkov out for the season in Sunrise, though, the possibility of Edmonton finally summiting the top of the hockey world seems more real than ever. And it’s largel...

Ian Gibaut, Santiago Espinal elect free agency

The Cincinnati Reds made make or break roster decisions with a pair of veterans over the past week, choosing to outright both right-hander Ian Gibaut and infielder/outfielder Santiago Espinal off the 40-man roster and assign them to AAA Louisville. Both Gibaut and Espinal, though, have enough service time as veterans to control their own destinies […]

Roma’s Split Personality: Success on the Road, Stumbles at the Olimpico

Five away games, five wins. It looks like Gasperini has cured Roma’s old Achilles Heel: poor results on the road. But what’s behind their struggles at home? Roma’s results are split into two parts: they have won all their away matches, but all their defeats have occurred at home. The Stadio Olimpico, once an impenetrable fortress, […]

2025 Atlanta Braves Prospect Reviews: Jhancarlos Lara

How was he acquired? The Braves signed Jhancarlos Lara back in 2021 as an international free agent. The team was still dealing with their international sanctions from the John Coppolella era at the time, significantly limiting what they could spend. So getting a real prospect in this time would require finding a diamond in the […]

Craig Berube on following a practice day with a full morning skate: “We haven’t gotten a road win yet”

Ahead of Saturday’s game in Philadelphia, Craig Berube discussed William Nylander’s injury absence, the return of Chris Tanev, the team’s offensive vs. defensive balance, and the challenge against the Flyers. With William Nylander unavailable, where do you miss him the most? Berube: In a lot of areas, obviously. Any time he is on the ice, […] The post Craig Berube on following a practice day with a full morning skate: “We haven’t gotten a road win yet” appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .

First Half Open Thread

Many of us have lamented the Bulldogs’ slow first half starts this season. If ever there were a team against whom the Dawgs should come out firing it would be this Gator team. And, I hope this doesn’t sound too Munsonian, they really need to come out hot. This Florida team has some great athletes. […]

Micah Parsons: The off-ball pass rusher

Through eight weeks of the NFL season, it’s safe to say that the opposing offenses the Green Bay Packers have faced thus far were primarily worried about Micah Parsons’ impact on their ability to play offense. Through the first four weeks, opposing teams could game plan around Parsons’ rushing off the edge.  After the bye […]
