Yankees 2025 Roster Report Cards: Cody Bellinger

Cody Bellinger was once a superstar; a Rookie of the Year-turned-MVP in his third season whose capabilities only seemed to be climbing higher and higher in LA. By the time he came to the Yankees last December in a one-for-one deal with the Cubs for Cody Poteet, he had endured a steep multi-season decline and […]

Cubs contracts: An extension proposal for Daniel Palencia

It might be too early to consider a long-term contract for Cubs closer Daniel Palencia — and yes, I’m calling him “closer” because I have no doubt he’ll be back in that role in 2026. Palencia had a shoulder issue during the 2025 season, and might have come back sooner than most would have wanted. […]

Monday Dots: From Start to Finish

Happy Monday Dawg fans, and welcome to today’s Dots. I walked to Husky Stadium on Saturday remarking that UW needed not just a win, but a Feel Good Win against Illinois.

What Now?

In lieu of the Whistlestop Tour this week I feel like we need to address the current state of Purdue football. After one of the most pants-on-head stupid losses I can remember ever seeing the Boilermakers fumbled away their last realistic chance at a victory in 2025. That leaves the program at a dismal crossroads, […]

Monday Musings: BE THE BULLIES

I’m just going to come right off the top rope and say that watching PJ Fleck settle for a feckless field goal because he didn’t want to get blanked at Kinnick Stadium was an All-Time victory cigar moment for me. It might be my favorite moment in the Ferentz/Fleck era of this rivalry. I just […]

2025-26 MSU Hoops Preview: The Coaches

The 2024-25 basketball season certainly exceeded expectations with Michigan State winning the Big Ten regular season championship by a ridiculous three-game margin and then advancing all the way to the Elite 8. What makes that season even more impressive is that Tom Izzo was basically breaking in a whole new coaching staff. One assistant, Doug […]
