In the playoffs, rotations shrink, but perhaps Lakers head coach JJ Redick will have to open his up a bit. The Lakers had only eight players who logged at least 10 minutes and with so many subpar performances, someone else needed to be called upon. The Thunder had 10 players play more than 10 minutes […]
It’s almost like Mike Elias and the Orioles front office are conducting a long-term experiment with their pitching program. They want to prove that it is possible for a team to build a competitive big league staff without the use of any high draft picks. If they can turn Trey Gibson in a force at […]
Two offseasons ago, Twinkie Town christened the top Minnesota Twins players of all time. Last year, we looked at franchise ephemera & eccentricity—from managers to broadcasters to an honorable Judge (not Aaron). This baseball-less period, I’ll be spearheading an accounting of the greatest Twins moments & performances from 1961-Present. As a fanbase, we need some […]
A short trip to the blue medical tent following a scramble in Tennessee led to the buzzword around Patriots quarterback Drake Maye being “sliding” last week. While New England certainly needs their MVP candidate and franchise quarterback healthy, the dual-threat nature of Maye’s game is going to result in him taking hits at times. The […]
After a couple of opposing games to open up the 2025 Fall Classic, the Dodgers and Blue Jays found themselves knotted up in a 1-1 tie. Despite the nature of this World Series’ first two games, Game 3 would be a nailbiter all the way through. There were no pinch-hit grand slams or complete games, […]
The race for the 2025-26 women’s college basketball national championship is just beginning. Yet, the competition for another crown—the best 2026 recruiting class—is entering the final sprint. Four of the top-five recruits in the class of 2026 have made their decisions, and the fifth undecided prospect recently made a splash. Jerzy Robinson, a 6-foot-0 guard […]
One of the best wrestlers in the state of Nebraska from the second he hit the mat, Zaiyahn Ornelas announced Monday that he’s going to be a Husker. A senior-to-be for Creighton Prep, Ornelas spent his first three high school seasons at Class C Wilber-Clatonia where he dominated — he won three Class C state […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The World Series continues tonight with Game 4 between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Los Angeles Dodgers from Dodger Stadium.

It is not yet officially the holiday season, but as fans wait for the Colorado Rockies to announce their new president of baseball operations/general manager, the mood is highly anticipatory. We know a few things now that we did not know at this time last week. First, Patrick Saunders’ reported that the Rockies will not […]
The TCU Horned Frogs failed to make the NCAA Tournament during the 2024-25 season, finishing 16-16 and 9-11 in the Big 12 Conference. It was the worst season since 2020-21 for the Horned Frogs, who had won at least 21 games in each of the previous three seasons. Once again, TCU’s roster underwent a major […]
The Atlanta Falcons have let one loss turn into two and are on the verge of letting that turn into four if they can’t get it right quick. There were still a few positives to take away, but not many in the second blowout of the year. Here’s the week 8 3 up and 3 […]
On Monday evening, the Detroit Lions made a curious roster move; they released veteran Kendall Fuller from their practice squad. In the midst of a handful of cornerback injuries, Fuller—who has started 104 games over nine seasons—was signed just two weeks ago. The hope was to provide some stability to a cornerback room that was […]
The New York Knicks (2-1) face the Milwaukee Bucks (2-1) at the Fiserv Forum on Tuesday, playing the second game of the season’s first road trip. On Sunday, the Miami Heat topped New York, 115-107. Jalen Brunson paced the Knicks’ offense with 37 points on efficient shooting, along with six assists and five boards. Karl-Anthony […]
The Miami Hurricanes are leaving Florida for the first time all season, and playing only their second road game of 2025. This is also Miami’s only kickoff prior to 4:30pm so far this year. So not only do fans have to hit the airport to Dallas on Halloween weekend, they also have to be up […]
We cover the coverage like PCA covers center field. Now in our eleventh season. Greetings. It’s true, this is the first episode of my eleventh season at the helm of this questionable enterprise, Cub Tracks that is. We generally steer clear of the mainstream but occasionally muddy the waters with our polluted stream of consciousness, […]
The Royals’ High-A affiliate in the Midwest League had the most successful regular season in the farm system, finishing sixteen games over .500. The River Bandits stayed in the playoff hunt all year, finishing just short of a playoff spot in the first half, with a winning record in the second half. Their performance was […]
The Royals name Cullen Maxey as president of business operations as Brooks Sherman transitions to real estate development with the club. John Sherman explained why Maxey’s hire was important. “Cullen’s proven leadership and relevant experience will fit the organization strategically, operationally and culturally,” John Sherman said. “This also allows Brooks to focus on our next […]
This week I will review Purdue’s heartbreaking 27 – 24 loss to Rutgers and preview the upcoming game at Michigan. About last week … This was a tough loss for Purdue because there were several opportunities for them to firmly take control, when they had the momentum, well before the bizarre end game where Purdue […]

MLB free agency began in 1976 and one of the first major developments of that era was Reggie Jackson leaving the Oakland A’s for the Baltimore Orioles in 1976 only to move to the the New York Yankees in 1977. As an A, Jackson already had Hall of Fame credentials, helping the Athletics win the […]

College basketball season is finally upon us, and with it, the 2025-26 UConn men’s basketball team’s attempt at a third national championship in four years. The Huskies will play a downright brutal non-conference slate with games against five preseason Top 25 teams on the schedule. But before they get to those, UConn will open with […]
The Carolina Hurricanes finally return to their home ice after a lengthy and troublesome six-game road trip to accommodate the North Carolina State Fair.

NEW ORLEANS — Jaylen Brown grinned ear-to-ear as the final buzzer neared, the first Celtics win of the season just moments away. “It feels great to get the first one,” Brown said postgame, hardly supressing a smile. “Feels awesome, actually.” Brown is typically among the Celtics’ least expressive players postgame, regardless of the final score.
