Good morning, everyone, and a happy Monday to you all. As per tradition, I’ve got a brand new mailbag set to go after taking your questions and sending them to the crew for their takes. This week, we’re discussing the bottom six, Matt Savoie’s season so far, Vasily Podkolzin, and more. If you’ve got a…
Good morning. Evan Grant writes about the path back to contention for the Texas Rangers as the Winter Meetings open up today. The folks at MLB dot com check out the biggest need for each team at the start of the Winter Meetings, with Kennedi Landry writing that Texas is in need of a catcher. […]
Happy Monday, everyone! And to those who celebrate, happy start of Winter Meetings. We can expect some delightfully unhinged comments from Scott Boras, potentially some hot stove moves, and lots and lots of speculation. It should be a good week to get some excitement brewing ahead of the holidays. We will get into the Winter […]
Following a big win against Kentucky last week, it would’ve been understandable if UNC had a hangover going into yesterday’s game against Georgetown. It’s something we’ve seen from previous teams, and while it tends to be a really frustrating situation, it at least would’ve been predictable. However, this Carolina team was able to handily dispatch […]
The Contemporary Committee spoke last night and opened the doors of Cooperstown to Jeff Kent and Jeff Kent alone. Of the 16 votes that were on the committee, Kent received 14, clearing the threshold needed to join the game’s elite. What’s been reported is that of all the other candidates, none were really that close […]
No one would argue that the Orioles still have a few obvious holes on their roster. They need at least one more starting pitcher and additional veteran help in the bullpen, and a concrete solution in center field would be nice too. Based on his quotes throughout the offseason, Orioles EVP Mike Elias seems keenly […]
Week 14 was relatively kind to the Detroit Lions when it comes to their overall playoff odds. Most importantly, the Lions took care of business against the Dallas Cowboys, which pushed Detroit’s playoff probabilities from around 25-30% to 45-55%, depending on which model you prefer. While the Lions didn’t get external help because of Seahawks […]
In Today’s Links: all kinds of reactions, analysis, takeaways, and breakdowns of another Seattle Seahawks victory, this time beating the feathers off the Atlanta Falcons. The first half saw our squad struggle offensively, turnovers, inefficacy, and such. Then, despite NOT punching anyone at halftime, Rashid Shaheed did his best Percy Harvin impression and returned the […]
The Dallas Cowboys (6-6-1) need help. Lots of it. This was true before they lost to the Detroit Lions last week, but that result exacerbated the issue. If the Cowboys want to be a playoff team in 2025 then they have to win out and have a lot of things go their way. Sunday’s NFL […]
One day, the fact that Bryce Elder led the 2025 Braves in innings will be a fun factoid, rather than a painful one. The innings leaders for the teams in the half-decade before that weren’t ever surprising, until perhaps when you get to 2019, which featured a tie between Michael Soroka and Julio Teheran. (I […]
Team news [Arizona Sports] Report: Red Sox, Rays, Tigers have checked in with Diamondbacks on Ketel Marte – USA Today’s Bob Nightengale reported on Sunday three new teams have joined the group interested in trading for the three-time All Star: the Boston Red Sox, Tampa Bay Rays and Detroit Tigers. Nightengale reported that Marte could […]
The Syracuse Orange women’s basketball team (8-1, 1-0) has been struggling to make shots from beyond the arc, but that changed in Dallas yesterday. Syracuse used a strong first quarter and then held on for a 78-69 road win over the SMU Mustangs (4-6, 0-1). Sophie Burrows led Syracuse with 22 points on 5-10 shooting […]
New Orleans Saints defensive end Cam Jordan is a name that most football fans know for his performance on the field. Jordan is currently in his 15th NFL season and showing no signs of stopping. He just played his 250th career game, surpassing Ted Washington and Chris Doleman for 8th all-time among defensive linemen in […]
Hansi Flick has confirmed that Marc-André ter Stegen will return to the Barcelona squad for Tuesday’s Champions League match against Eintracht Frankfurt, but the coach is not changing his plans for the goalkeeper position. Speaking at a press conference on Monday, Flick had a brief but clear response to the questions about Ter Stegen’s return […]

Newcastle United will enter 2026 with six senior players approaching the end of their contracts, and The Athletic’s Chris Waugh reports that several long-serving figures are expected to move on as the club reshape the squad for the next phase of their project. Waugh writes that Jamaal Lascelles “appears likely to leave,” noting that the […]
Remember the guy in this picture? Welcome to the Game Day Thread for the games in the week of 12/8. Couple of wins against struggling teams last week, along with an ugly loss to the Canes. The Preds didn’t quit, though the Canes kind of did. Games this week are: Tuesday 12/9 vs Colorado Avalanche 8:30pm Central on TNT Thursday 12/11 vs Saint Louis Blues 7pm Central on FanDuel and ESPN Saturday 12/13 at Colorado Avalanche 8pm Central on FanDuel and ESPN Go ...
After Borussia Dortmund crashed out of the DFB-Pokal on Tuesday, I was really curious how the coach, the squad, and the fans would react. The Pokal was the most likely route to a trophy for Die Schwarzgelben this season, so I was slightly nervous that the defeat could spark a downward spiral in the league […]
Obviously the big news of the day is that the College Football Playoff bracket was announced yesterday. Not everyone in college football got in. Some took that better than others. To be clear, of the trio of Miami, Notre Dame and Alabama I thought Notre Dame had perhaps the best case to get in. They […]
Women’s basketball falls to UCLA in Westwood Football stays at 5 for the College Football Playoff Details for Oregon’s first round playoff matchup Dan Lanning | CFP Selection Press Conference Highlight of the Day: Reliving the 2025 Football season – Oregon shows that Oklahoma State is not at their level
With Kekua Aumua announcing his commitment to the Huskies the 2026 HS recruiting class is likely all done (there could always be a surprise in February), so lets take a look at how the coaches did at recruiting their respective positions. Jimmy Dougherty (Quarterback/OC): Aaron’s Grade: C Luke’s Grade: A– Overview: The QB dominos out […]
It felt like a formality, but the Week 14 loss to the Miami Dolphins officially eliminated the Jets from Playoff contention. The team started 0-7 so it’s not like the Jets were ever in the race for a Playoff spot. Even before the season began, there were few expectations this would be the year the […]
It has been a bad season for the Nashville Predators, and changes are expected to be on the way. Due to this, let's look at three Nashville players who could end up traded this season. Ryan O'Reilly O'Reilly is one of the NHL's top trade candidates this season, and there is a real expectation he will be moved. The 34-year-old is still a very good two-way top-six center at this point of his career and has a good contract. With this, expect interest to be very high for the vete...
One week after a valiant effort against a very good Denver Broncos team at home, Washington came out and laid an egg against the struggling Minnesota Vikings on the road. The offense was stagnant all game as both quarterbacks looked rattled against Brian Flores’ aggressive defense. The defense, as it’s done most of the season, […]
All right. The holiday is here. The Winter Meetings. Time to start really popping off, baseball … Speaking of which, I wrote yesterday about the prepared-for-urgency with which the Cubs need to treat this week, even if it may wind up that it isn’t absolutely critical to get things done SPECIFICALLY this week. In short, if dominoes do start falling in certain sectors, the Cubs may have to leap quickly. They have a set of needs, and if they have strong market preferences, they can’t let t...
