After a poor start, the Tampa Bay Lightning have returned to their usual selves. Taking care of a wounded New Jersey Devils team on Tuesday, the Bolts have won nine of their last twelve hockey games.

At one point in 2023, it looked like signing Trea Turner to an eleven-year deal worth $300 million was going to be a major disaster for the Phillies. If 2023 was rock bottom, 2025 was the complete opposite. While other players on the roster like Schwarber and Sanchez succeeded loudly and publicly, Turner quietly had […]

We have hit the point in the 2025 Air Force season where we will see the character of this team tested the most. After another competitive loss last week to UConn, the Falcons are 3-7 (2-4 MW) with Bowl hopes dashed, the Commander-in-Chief’s Trophy again eluding them and their star quarterback now shelfed for the […]

Here is a shocker: White Sox general manager Chris Getz has a solid offseason plan. I never thought I would see the day.

The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is back in the studio tonight with a number of guests joining us to talk about a sport that only seems to get mentioned when the Olympics roll around every four years. Despite the successes of the national and provincial teams, sledge hockey or parahockey never quite gets the spotlight that stand-up hockey does, so our hosts thought it was time to get everyone up to speed about what's happening in Manitoba a...

There’s a decent argument that Nico Hoerner was the MVP of the 2025 Chicago Cubs. The 28-year-old second baseman put up a career-best .297/.345/.394/109 wRC+ slash line and 4.8 WAR, a career-low 7.6% strikeout rate, stole 29 bases, scored 89 runs, drove in 61, and played some of the best defense of any player in baseball. He was also among the most clutch hitters in baseball, constantly coming through when the Cubs needed him. Like many other Cubs, Hoerner is under contract through 2026, ...

The Bucks stink at defending the pick-and-roll. Any time an opponent runs the action right now, it’s basically an automatic bucket. The stats are mind-bending. Milwaukee is allowing a league-worst 64.6% roll man scoring frequency, which equates to 1.35 points per possession. For reference, the two worst transition defenses, Sacramento and Washington, are giving up […]
