3 Free-Agent Destinations for Evgeni Malkin

Evgeni Malkin's future as a Pittsburgh Penguin is awfully bleak. The future hall-of-famer was noticeably distraught after the Penguins were eliminated in the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs by the Philadelphia Flyers. After not being an offered a contract extension at all since July 1st, Malkin knows this could be it for him, even though the likes of Sidney Crosby and Bryan Rust have essentially begged publicly for Kyle Dubas to re-sign the Russian forward. Malkin's very likely hitting...

With five teams ranked in the AP preseason poll, the ACC is loading up for an ever-competitive season. Familiar faces are expected to lead the conference, but a summer of transfer portal chaos leaves us with some pressing questions before the season tips off: Can No. 7 Duke finally get over the hump?

All hail the King! 1982 – Today marks the 43rd anniversary since Bernard King became the King of New York.

Tails never fails

The 2025 Mariners are no more.  I already wrote my season recap. I intentionally published it before the playoffs to feel like I could say something objective without the benefit of hindsight. The playoffs are random, if you hadn’t heard. They’re a short series of coin flips. The best player in MLB can lose. The […]

Where Are We Wednesday: Week Eight

Subverting expectations To quote J.A. Adande from his panel at this week’s Journalism 202 Lecture, “Every game is a chapter in the story of the season.” So far, it has been hard to fit this chapter in with the rest of Northwestern’s 2025 football story. Think about where NU was last Wednesday, riding the high […]

Packers to wear all whites vs. Steelers’ throwbacks

The Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers will be relatively unrecognizable when they face off on Sunday Night Football this week. Neither team will be wearing their classic uniforms, which, to me, is a little disappointing in a matchup between two massive brands. The Packers will be wearing their all white “Winter Warning” uniforms, which […]

Three keys to a Northwestern win over Nebraska

The ‘Cats might be a win or two away from getting serious consideration for the AP Top 25 for the first time since 2023. Four straight wins, including a shutout of Purdue and a victory over the preseason No. 2 in Penn State, have given NU some much-needed momentum following a lackluster 1-2 start to […]

EA Extends “Madden” NFL Exclusivity, NFLPA not on board

In 2020, Electronic Arts extended its exclusive-rights deal with the NFL for the Madden video game series. The extension was through 2026. Much like an NFL contract, however, an in-season extension was expected for this year. Insider Gaming reported back in July that a deal was in the works that included EA actually looking to […]

The State of the Farm System

Most of the articles written on Brew Crew Ball recently have focused on the Brewers’ performance in the playoffs, with good reason. This is going to be different. As BCB’s resident minor league writer, I feel a duty — nay, an obligation — to remind you just how stacked the Brewers’ farm system is. While […]

Nine Years Ago Today, the Chicago Cubs Won the Pennant

Although the fresh playoff moments for the Chicago Cubs wrapped up in this year’s National League Division Series, we can still look back and enjoy the best of the best moments that came before. For example, here’s one of the absolute best: on this day in 2016, the Cubs beat the Dodgers to win the 2016 National League Championship Series and take their first pennant in 71 years. They were off to the World Series, where I seem to recall some good things happened. Enjoy the highlights ...
