With the 2026 NFL Draft winding down, teams began turning their attention to rookie free agency. The New England Patriots were no exception, and they will once again be quite busy: the team of head coach Mike Vrabel and quasi-general manager Eliot Wolf has several open spots on its 90-man roster available to be filled. […]
Going into Sunday’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders, I wanted to see what wide receiver Rashee Rice would do after more than a full calendar year off the field. In his absence, the offense had developed a rhythm without him, so I was curious to see how he would be […]
Reading Women exited the Berks & Bucks Cup after a close match saw them finish on the wrong end of a 1-0 scoreline against Ascot United at the Racecourse Ground on Tuesday night. A clinical finish from Ascot’s Kate Fox in the 14th minute, a stunning top-corner save from Reading goalkeeper Lilly Hadrava in the […]
Ohio State’s recruiting pitch in 2025 is multi-faceted with the promise of NFL preparation, a national brand that guarantees eyeballs, and a pragmatic, increasingly institutionalized, approach to name, image and likeness (NIL). That combination is no accident. It’s a deliberate playbook engineered by Ryan Day’s staff and the athletic department to answer the modern recruit’s […]
Not every win will you hang in the Louvre – but the Louvre isn’t so safe these days. Neither did the Oilers have to play jewel thief in the nation’s capital. They collected the OT victory 3-2 and thankfully finished this five-game road trip. Overall, it was a so-so, alright performance by the Oilers. But…
The Toronto Raptors begin their regular season against the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. EST on Sportsnet. The matchup marks the first time the Raptors open the season on the road since 2011, during which they defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 104-96 on Dec. 8 in a lockout-shortened season. While rookie […]
Opening Night is finally here, and the Boston Celtics start off against Eastern Conference rival Philadelphia 76ers. With a new-look Celtics team going against a Sixers squad eager to prove it’s one of the best in the East when healthy, it’s bound to be an interesting first matchup for Boston. There are three big questions […]
After defensive miscues played a major role in the Yankees’ defeat in the 2024 World Series, the Yankees clearly made it a priority to strengthen their performance with the glove in 2025, as they brought in a trio of Gold Glovers in Cody Bellinger, Max Fried, and Paul Goldschmidt during the winter, shifted Jazz Chisholm […]
This is the first in a short series about potential contract extensions for young Cubs players. Let me preface all of these by saying that it’s unlikely any of them will happen. Because of a potential lockout after the 2026 season and uncertainty about what’s going to happen beyond Dec. 1, 2026, when the MLB/MLBPA […]
Welcome to the 2025 edition of Ranking the Rockies, where we take a look back at every player to log playing time for the Rockies in 2025. The purpose of this list is to provide a snapshot of the player in context. The “Ranking” is an organizing principle that’s drawn from Baseball Reference’s WAR (rWAR). […]
Wake Forest is back from the bye week, and they are kicking off the 2nd half of the season with their first ever matchup against conference newcomer SMU. The Deacs have a chance to do something in this game that has not happened in a long, long time: hand SMU a regular season conference loss. […]
I’m winding down this series on great hitting seasons. Only one more installment to go. With the passing of the years, it’s easy to forget just how good a hitter Henry Aaron was. His Baseball Reference page is filled with bold black and blue entries. He was a 25-time All-Star. That alone is a staggering […]

This week, we’re introducing a new series highlighting a player worth keeping an eye on heading into each matchup. With the New Orleans Saints hosting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 8 of the 2025 NFL season at Caesars Superdome, the player to watch is LB Danny Stutsman. Over the past two games, Stutsman’s reps […]
Heading into the 2025-26 season, there’s one goal in mind for new Syracuse Orange women’s basketball guard Laila Phelia: getting back her confidence. It’s been a rollercoaster journey for Phelia, who transferred to the program over the offseason. The two-time all-Big Ten selection played just eight games last season with her most recent team, the […]

Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Another uneven offensive performance has left the Falcons searching for answers. They were outworked, outcoached, and […]
Throughout the 2025 NFL season, SB Nation’s Doug Farrar will write about the game’s Secret Superstars — those players whose performances might slip under the radar for whatever reasons. In this installment, it’s time to recognize Seattle Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones, who has become the heart of Seattle’s new Legion of Boom-ish defense, and the franchise’s most […]
There are now only three ACC teams without a conference loss: Georgia Tech, Virginia, and SMU. To make matters worse for the Canes, those three teams do not face each other this season, with Miami only playing SMU. Yikes. If they want any chance of making it to Charlotte, Coach Cristobal’s squad better take care […]

The Wisconsin Badgers are taking on the No. 6 Oregon Ducks this weekend on the road, as they face their second top-10 opponent in a row after playing the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes this past weekend. It was not a pretty game against the Buckeyes, who shut out the Badgers 34-0 at Camp Randall […]

In Today’s Links: a few more leftover recaps from Monday’s win, how our Seattle Seahawks’ run defense is making it happen, ‘Hawks start getting healthy over the bye, how the defense (as a whole) is dominating, and more. We’ve got several days of this coming, looking back at the season so far, and speculating on […]
It’s the time of year when I spend a lot of time thinking about how I need more blankets and pillows around the house because comfort and warmth take precedence when the temps dip. Before we dive into some Bears stuff, this feels like a good spot to point out that basketball season is here. The Bulls are back. And while the franchise seems like it is in a perpetual rut, BN’s coverage is still superb. So be sure to check out our friends at BN Bulls here , as well as on Facebook , Twitter...
The Colorado Eagles have played only four games so far this season. All of them have been without starting goaltender Trent Miner, who has been with the Colorado Avalanche since day one. So the Eagles have had to resort to using their backup goaltenders, and one stands well above the other. Isak Posch has made […]
