The San Francisco Giants still haven’t finalized their staff, but the pieces are all coming together, and a trend is continuing: they’re hiring a lot of people that new manager Tony Vitello is comfortable with. A few days after news broke that Justin Meccage (who didn’t have a prior relationship with Vitello) was going to […]
Monday night’s matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and Carolina Panthers has massive playoff implications. When the schedule was released, very few would believe the Week 12 matchup would have so much on the line, but that is how close the NFC has been in 2025. A victory for the 49ers would increase their playoff […]
The Detroit Lions coordinators met with media on Thursday to discuss the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and look forward to Sunday’s game against the New York Giants. Topics ranged from missing Sam LaPorta, why the defense loves Dan Campbell’s fourth-down aggression, and some thoughts on how to improve the return game on special teams. […]
The Montreal Victoire get their season underway on Sunday afternoon, and on Thursday they announced their 23 player active roster and three reserve players that will start the season as they seek their first Walter Cup.

With No. 22 North Texas in town for a marquee in-state matchup, and with bowl eligibility on the line, the Rice Owls are working to create the ultimate homefield advantage at Rice Stadium. One stop the Owls are pulling to […]
There are plenty of lessons the Edmonton Oilers can take from Thursday’s opponent, the Tampa Bay Lightning, because their path from frustration to dominance is a blueprint that should hit close to home. Like most expansion teams, the Lightning spent years stumbling around the basement before finding their footing. By the mid-2000s, they had built…
Oh good, more arena drama to talk about!

Teams across the league had to make Rule 5 Draft related 40-man roster decisions the other day. Now that has happened and we know who is available to be selected in the Rule 5 Draft. As a bad team, the Nats are likely to pick a player because they can afford to roster that player […]
By virtue of how the calendar falls, prep recruits sign with colleges with a full season of high school baseball left to be played. And until the rules changed a few years ago, many prospects would commit as early as their freshmen year of high school in order to lock in a spot. Arizona took […]
Coming off the division title years in 2007 and 2008, hopes were high for a three-peat in 2009. But the Cubs struggled for much of the early going in ‘09. They kept near first place, but after mid-April were not again in first place — until July 26, when a win over the Reds put […]
If it weren’t for bad luck, the Chicago Sky wouldn’t have any luck. Chicago has found new and painful ways to drown in misery. They drafted Angel Reese, which should’ve been the beginning of a new era. But with Chicago missing the playoffs over the last two years and Reese calling out the organization for […]
Just when the Carolina Panthers were down and out and it looked like Bryce Young’s career was on the ropes, Young and the Panthers went into Atlanta and put forth their best passing display of Young’s career and the entire franchise’s history. Young finished with a Panthers record 448 yards passing. Tetairoa McMillan accounted for […]
Even at their worse Barcelona are one of the best teams ever to grace the sport. Chelsea Women meanwhile have been on a very frail unbeaten run where it feels like they can crumble at any moment. It’s a strange feeling to arrive at Stamford Bridge as massive underdogs. But that’s also the kind of […]
Isaac Humphries came out publicly as gay in the National Basketball League 3 years ago. He reflects on that journey and what came before. The post National Basketball League’s 1st out gay player turns his near-heartbreak into life-saving hope appeared first on Outsports .
Through the first month of the 2025-26 NBA season, Deandre Ayton is looking like one of the biggest steals of the summer. The Lakers split their $14.1 million non-taxpayer mid-level exception between Ayton ($8.1 million) and Jake LaRavia ($6.0 million), both of which seem like home runs early on. Ayton already has seven double-doubles in […]
It’s no surprise at this point when the Los Angeles Rams lose coaches in the offseason. Last year they lost Nick Caley to the Houston Texans as he became their offensive coordinator. The season before they lost Raheem Morris, Zac Robinson, Eric Henderson, and Jake Peetz. It’s been a never-ending cycle that head coach Sean […]
Good news: the Knicks are no longer winless away from Madison Square Garden. Bad news: they did it by narrowly surviving a severely shorthanded, mediocre Mavericks team with a horrendous shooting night, including 16 missed free throws, and on a controversial offensive foul. Against anyone else, the Knicks lose that game. Aside from bursts by […]
The Blackhawks and Kraken are two of the teams surprising people early this season. They played 17 days ago in Seattle, a 3-1 win for the home team. The Hawks have been hot since then and will be on their home ice in the rematch. Tyler Bertuzzi is expected to return to the lineup tonight, which is great news. The Hawks are going to keep Ryan Greene on the top line, however. Bertuzzi will be on a line with Frank Nazar and Oliver Moore tonight. Let’s see if the Blackhawks can keep the ...
Time’s reputation for distorting the past is well established and equally deserved. It’s so good at what it does that at some point in every person’s life they begin to doubt – to some degree at least – the validity of their own memories. I bring this up because in my surely flawed mind, 90 […]
The Wildcats (4-1) find their first road (and Big 5) win at John E. Glaser Arena, leading wire-to-wire against the Explorers. Villanova had four players in double-figures, led by Matt Hodge with 17 points on 7/9 shooting (3/5 from deep). Tyler Perkins, Acaden Lewis and Bryce Lindsay chipped in 13, 12 and 10 points respectively. […]
