What Were Expectations?Drew showed some promise in 2024, hitting .289/.394/.414 in 110 games across Augusta and Rome. Because of it, and his good production in college, there were some expectations brewing for Drew because of his ability to switch hit […]

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 […]
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. Slay became expendable in Pittsburgh following the addition of Asante Samuel Jr. from the practice squad to their active 53-man roster. The Titans entered Sunday’s contest versus the […]

A new era of Kentucky football is kicking off as Will Stein has taken the reins as the Wildcats’ head coach, ending Mark Stoops’ tenure in Lexington. Despite a rough last few years, Coach Stoops helped drag UK football out of the gutter and ascend to heights the program had never seen. Including two 10-win […]
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...
A full breakdown of FC Dallas’ end-of-season press conference: roster plans, coaching insights, 2026 expectations, and what the club is building next.
Last night’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur was maybe not a truly fitting result for Newcastle United. The Magpies outshot Spurs 19-8, putting seven on goal to Tottenham’s two. 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 A’s have spent 4 years rebuilding with a losing record that has improved each of the last 2 years and ended with a promising post All-Star break run of sustained success. Now, starting this weekend, come the Winter Meetings when the hot stove tends to heat up and players are on the move via […]
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 […]

After two high-effort, high-drama, high-emotion games, there’s every chance that today’s visit to Elland Road will result in a comedown and a letdown. It’s tough to keep up those levels, especially when the occasion is not nearly as grand. One way to combat this problem is through rotation, to keep legs and motivations fresh. Rotation […]
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 Ravens (6-6) are 5.5-point favorites for their upcoming game against the Steelers (6-6), a surprising line considering the two teams’ even record and history of competitive matchups. Both teams lost in Week 13. The Ravens were embarrassed by the Bengals at home on Thanksgiving, while the Steelers got run over by the Bills. That […]
Kentucky football secured its first major recruiting victory under Will Stein on National Signing Day, as 4-star quarterback Matt Ponatoski officially signed with the Wildcats on Wednesday. Ponatoski, who originally planned to wait until February to sign and commit to playing both football and baseball at Kentucky, accelerated his timeline following a crazy week for […]
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 […]
