Even if it didn’t make a ton of sense at the time – and, to many, still doesn’t – it was clear as day why the Cincinnati Reds made the trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates at the 2025 trade deadline to acquire Ke’Bryan Hayes. He is, and has been, the single best defensive 3B in […]
The Arizona Wildcats had a very favorable schedule in its first season as a member of the Big 12. That means the softball schedule for year two won’t be quite as friendly. The conference released the 2026 slate on Thursday afternoon. Arizona will play four home series and four road series. With 11 teams in […]
The Utah Mammoth are having a tough time in negotiations with Logan Cooley, who is set to be an RFA after the season when his entry-level contract expires. He is currently making $950,000 AAV, but is expecting a large contract and a massive bump in pay, considering where the cap is going and contracts being signed around the league. Frank Seravalli said, "They don't have any $10 million AAV players. They're trying to keep it within their own team structure, like the Canadiens. Unless there's a...
Real Madrid vs Juventus was far from a blockbuster, but strong performances from Militao, Asencio, and Fede — along with goal contributions from Jude (and maybe you should count Vini) — gave encouragement. But there’s one big takeaway… Arda Guler is a Midfielder For all the concern around Arda Guler in big games, albeit a […]
Welcome to week 7 of the Cyclone tracker! This is where we follow our resident weather themed duo in rookie receivers Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel, both out of Iowa State (hence, the “Cyclone” twins). As always, there will be analysis, projections, commentary, and relevant updates that happen in real time. Week 7 Cyclones Tracker: […]
We are less than two weeks away from the NFL trade deadline, where the San Francisco 49ers could be a buyer after starting the season 5-2. The 49ers have dealt with several injuries to start the year, including season-ending injuries to linebacker Fred Warner and defensive end Nick Bosa, so there are definitely areas to […]
The New York City FC shot-stopper is one of three players up for the end-of-year award, and he's also nominated for Save of the Year.
It’s been 15 years since ESPN’s “College GameDay” crew was in Columbia, Missouri. The show was a different show then. It was 2010. The legendary crew of host Chris Fowler and analysts Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstrait and Desmond Howard traveled to a Homecoming matchup against then-No. 3 Oklahoma. Missouri was ranked No. 18 at the […]
Who else feels like their blood pressure is up this week? Must be Hate Week. I’m sure many of you have given this week’s opponent all the attention they deserve, which is to say none (other than Steve’s preview earlier today), so we sat down with Nick Durand from Maize n Brew to find out […]
Tyon Grant-Foster’s eligibility case was set for Thursday, October 23rd, at 3:30 p.m. PT in Spokane, but the NCAA filed a motion on Wednesday, October 22nd, requesting that the case be moved from state to a federal court. The NCAA is sticking by its thought process that Grant-Foster’s eligibility expired because “he had the opportunity […]
Montréal's foundational signings are signed through 2027-28.
The Calgary Flames have now lost seven straight games (at least they picked up a point in their 2-1 OT loss to the Montreal Canadiens Wednesday night). But with just three points, they sit with the second-worst record in the NHL, and talk is already surfacing about the potential of changing direction, and selling off veterans. Captain Mikael Backlund has spent his entire 18-year career in Calgary. But given their current situation, is it time for the Flames to consider moving him to recoup an ...
Serie A leaders AC Milan host rock-bottom Pisa at the San Siro this weekend in a bid to extend their points tally at the summit. Milan come to this match on the back of a seven-game unbeaten run across all competitions. With 16 points on the board, the Rossoneri surpassed Napoli and Inter in the […]
The Philadelphia Eagles activated the 21-day practice window for Darius Cooper to return from injured reserve, according to an official team announcement on Thursday. Cooper suffered a shoulder injury during a special teams play in the Eagles’ Week 3 win over the Los Angeles Rams. The undrafted rookie wide receiver was then placed on injured […]
Today, the Chicago Stars announced that they have re-signed defender Sam Staab through 2029. With her contract was set to expire at the end of the 2026, both sides reached a new agreement. “I’m excited to sign an extension with the club,” said Staab. “I feel like there’s unfinished business here – it’s an amazing […]
The Lakers didn’t have a great defensive start to their season on opening night against the Warriors. Los Angeles couldn’t defend the perimeter as Golden State shot 42.5% from 3-point range. Jimmy Butler was able to attack Gabe Vincent mercilessly, ending the night with 31 points. And the third quarter was a disaster as the […]
By now you have likely heard about the comments New York Jets owner Woody Johnson made about his 0-7 team earlier in the week. There are a number of different angles we could from this. I couldn’t help but think about a complaint I hear constantly from Jets fans about the team. That is a […]
The Raiders sit 2-5 after an awful loss to the Chiefs 31-0, where the Raiders amazed an impressive 91 yards of offense on the day with three first downs. This off-season the Raiders decided to part ways with players that totaled over 60% of their defensive snaps. In addition to these, the Raiders have let […]
The Wisconsin Badgers are struggling on the field, losing their last five games to drop to 2-5 on the season, with the No. 6 Oregon Ducks coming up this weekend. As the Badgers continue to disappoint on the field, fans are wondering how that could impact the team off the field, specifically with recruiting. So […]
We’ve known for some time that things were going to look different rotation-wise this season. Going from a coach who’s known for tight rotations and an overreliance on starters more than anyone in Tom Thibodeau to Mike Brown means we should’ve been prepared for games where some unusual names play big minutes. That was exemplified […]
The college football season continues to roll on all too fast. We’re already into late October with five weeks left in the regular season. Feels like I just got back from my summer vacation a couple of weeks ago but in reality I need to think about raking the leaves in my lawn in time […]
While the Steelers have four former players still eligible for the 2026 Hall of Fame class in the modern era category, one remains in the senior category: former defensive end L.C. Greenwood. The Pro Football Hall of Fame announced Thursday that 34 “seniors” — NFL players who appeared in their last game in 2000 or […]
We're rapidly approaching must-win territory
Matt Savoie is getting the opportunity every young forward dreams about: playing on a line with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. The 21-year-old has earned this chance by grinding it out in the bottom six and penalty-killing effectively, all while flashing offensive talent that keeps showing up even when the puck isn’t going in. Now…
The Central Michigan Chippewas (4-3, 1-1 MAC) have one last Saturday game in front of the fans in 2025, and they’re hoping to make it a good one, celebrating Homecoming against the UMass Minutemen (0-7, 0-3 MAC). The game will pit two first-year FBS head coaches against one another, with former Army West Point offensive […]
