In addition to No. 1 UConn, which Big East teams are deserving of more national respect?

Between the Power 4 conferences and mid-majors, women’s college basketball boasts two strictly different dimensions. Inspired mid-majors may play David to a Power 4 Goliath every now and again, but competition between the two is often aspirational at best. However, somewhere in-between these two dimensions is a ripple. A black hole. A fracture in the […]

Should the Tennessee Titans sign CB Darius Slay?

If the Tennessee Titans are searching for veteran help at cornerback, an intriguing option just became available. The Pittsburgh Steelers waived veteran cornerback Darius Slay on Tuesday.

MUST READ: On Connor Bedard’s “Leap” to Superstardom

On a lovely, snowy, day-after-a-late-game Wednesday for Blackhawks fans, I want to share a terrific, highly recommended read from Dom Luszczyszyn and Sean Gentille at The Athletic . Especially after the absolute show he put on in Vegas last night, it’s a great perspective on Connor Bedard ‘s ascent to the elite tier of NHL superstars this season. The piece isn’t exclusively about Bedard; Macklin Celebrini and Leo Carlsson are both also on ridiculous paces to have huge, breakout seasons. B...

Newcastle United Predicted Starting XI vs Burnley FC

However, the outcome is the outcome, and that is that. Newly promoted Burnley FC are the next opponent, and that provides a wonderful opportunity for a […] The post Newcastle United Predicted Starting XI vs Burnley FC appeared first on The Sports Bank .

Bills news: How sustainable is Buffalo’s success running the ball?

The Buffalo Bills boast the reigning NFL MVP in quarterback Josh Allen, but despite possessing one of the league’s most dynamic dual-threat quarterbacks, when Buffalo has won this year, it’s been largely due to the contributions of another talented offensive weapon: running back James Cook III. During Sunday’s physically imposing road win over the Pittsburgh […]

REPORT: Brewers Changing Their Mind on a Potential Freddy Peralta Trade

Will Brewers trade Freddy Peralta this offseason? It may not matter. They lost their president of Baseball Operations, David Stearns, to the Mets. They lost their manager, Craig Counsell, to the Cubs. They traded their two elite closers, Josh Hader (to the Astros) and Devin Williams (to the Yankees). They traded their ace, Corbin Burnes, to the Orioles. And they lost their star shortstop, Willy Adames, to the Giants in free agency. None of it mattered. No matter how many times the Milwauk...

The Art of the Leo

I love a uniform. I want to analyze it, pick it apart and give my otherwise non-expert opinion on what my teams are wearing in all sports, so it should come as no surprise that I do the same thing for Mizzou Gym leotards. But I wanted to do more than just see them close […]
