The University of Colorado Should Hire Brent Vigen as its Next Head Football Coach

Good morning, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans.  We step out of the ACC today to discuss the University of Colorado Buffaloes (herein the Buffs) football program. By now, you know that Georgia Tech defeated the Buffs around Labor Day weekend.  @TalkinACCSports chronicled that win here.  That win looked really good for Georgia Tech early … Continue reading »

Colorado hires exciting new athletic director

Folks, doesn’t it feel good to have faith in an institution again? Isn’t it nice to trust the people making decisions that affect your life? I got to feel the sunshine of good decisions (not mine, obviously) on my face this weekend. My bet is, if you’re reading this, you did, too. We, as Colorado […]

Surely the Reds Didn’t Just Finish Up Their Positional Moves with Those Two Modest Outfield Additions, Right?

Earlier this offseason, we talked about how the Reds and Pirates projections had them looking plausibly competitive in 2026 in the NL Central, particularly if they made certain offensive additions over the offseason. In both cases, the teams desperately needed to add offense in the outfield and at DH, and, for the Pirates, their acquisitions of Ryan O’Hearn and Brandon Lowe could very much help in those regards (and possibly also the acquisitions of outfielders Jhostynxon Garcia and Jake ...

Chicago Bears Playoff Scenarios: What’s At Stake in Week 18?

The bad news is that the Chicago Bears are no longer in the running to take home the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs. But the good news is that the No. 2 seed is very much in play. And all the Bears have to do is beat the Detroit Lions on Sunday in Week 18 to make it happen. However, that will not stop me from rooting for the Washington Commanders against the Philadelphia Eagles. An Eagles loss would also clinch the second seed for Chicago’s football team. It’s a shame that the Buffalo Bil...

Are the Oilers looking to trade Andrew Mangiapane?

On the latest episode of the 32 Thoughts podcast, Elliotte Friedman spent a few minutes talking about Andrew Mangiapane and how his time with the Oilers might be winding down. According to Sportsnet’s insider, Mangiapane might be willing to waive his no-trade clause if Edmonton can find him a bigger role elsewhere. Needless to say,…

Browns: Future QB plans continue to be problematic

Winning in the NFL, especially against a division rival, can cover up a lot of issues for a team. Take the Cleveland Browns, for example, who pulled off a somewhat surprising (but not really) victory on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The win was Cleveland’s sixth in the past seven home games against Pittsburgh, and […]

MMBets: Dallas squares off with Portland

Let’s scan the lines in search of value as the Dallas Mavericks hit the road, having lost four of their last five, with any talk of a steady climb back toward .500 quietly shelved — possibly for a good long while. Dallas is banged up, directionless, and stuck in that uncomfortable middle ground where wins […]

Fan Notes from the Patriots’ 42-10 win over the Jets

Well…that was easy. The New England Patriots are once again kings of the AFC East after a brutal five-year hiatus. That there are currently kindergartners on Christmas break who have never known a world in which New England didn’t own the AFC East is something I never want to see again in my lifetime. Glad […]

GM #37: Edmonton Oilers @ Winnipeg Jets

Well, the year of 2025 is nearing its conclusion and the Winnipeg Jets will be glad to see it in their rearview mirror. Currently on a 5 game losing streak, the True Northers have gone 3-10-4 since November 21st. The level of the Jets’ play on the ice has improved recently, but that has only resulted in the club picking up a pair of loser points in their most recent contests. Winnipeg ( 15-17-4 ) is sitting in a tie for the 2nd worst record in the NHL before the action gets underway on Mo...

Everton at Nottingham Forest: Predicted Line-Up | Waiting For Grealish

Everton, already minus Idrissa Gueye, Iliman Ndiaye, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Jarrad Branthwaite and Seamus Coleman, lost Jack Grealish as well for the Burnley game on Saturday. With such a quick turnaround between games, none of the former are expected to be available, which then leaves the Blues waiting for Grealish. The star winger was reportedly unwell […]

2025 Dodgers in review: Miguel Rojas

Miguel Rojas continued to be a solid bench option and a leader in the Dodgers’ clubhouse during the 2025 regular season, and when his name was called on in the World Series, he became a part of some of the biggest plays in franchise history. Rojas was coming off his best full season statistically in […]
