Dana White teases he may be willing to help Floyd Mayweather out. According to multiple reports, Mayweather is suing a former investment manager that defrauded him out of $175 million.

The Washington Commanders are visiting the Minnesota Vikings this week. Both teams have had disappointing seasons, and dealt with QB injuries. Jayden Daniels and J.J. McCarthy are both returning today, with Daniels coming back from an elbow dislocation, and McCarty clearing concussion protocol. They have seven wins between them, but the Commanders are getting a […]
Beyond the rather obvious answer of, “Probably not, man,” to this article’s title, we should at least explore the topic, right? It feels like Giannis Antetokounmpo, the 31-year-old multiple-time MVP who’s already solidified himself as one of the greats the sport has seen, may have played his last game with the Milwaukee Bucks. Trade talks […]
Our Miami Dolphins faced off against a bad team last week in the New Orleans Saints, and while our Phins did pull out the game, it seemed as if they were trying very hard to give the game away. Hopefully, Miami manages to pull out another win this afternoon, without the struggle, against another bad […]
Here’s another photo from BCB reader Clark Addison. It is, quite clearly, a play at the plate. There are enough letters on the back of the runner’s jersey to identify him: That’s Jason Marquis. Here’s the full photo: Marquis pitched for the Cubs for two seasons, 2007 and 2008. The catcher’s uniform doesn’t show a […]
It’s Sunday, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! This week, we will finally get some baseball news, as the Winter Meetings are set to begin in Orlando.

The Friar Faithful have lived this experience before. The San Diego Padres and their general manager and president of baseball operations A.J. Preller are heading into MLB Winter Meetings in Orlando, Fla. with little financial flexibility and an unknown list of targets to fill the roster. Fans can only speculate about how Preller and the […]
AJ Smith-Shawver just turned 23. Literally, he turned 23 a couple weeks ago, on November 20. Given that he pitched in Atlanta in both 2023 and 2024, it always breaks my brain a bit to remember how young he is, even though he’s got parts of three MLB seasons under his belt. Selected in the […]
The Carolina Panthers are are off today, hopefully getting healthier during their late and well-earned bye week. Somehow, that has left us with more games to watch in which we, as Panthers fans, have an active rooting interest in.

As the buzzer sounded on Northwestern’s 86-82 loss to Ohio State, Nick Martinelli stood alone on the Welsh-Ryan Arena court with his jersey collar covering half his face, hands first on his knees and then behind his head in disbelief. After the NU senior forward scored a game-high 32 points, his teammates guided him to […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers made multiple moves involving wide receivers this week. They signed veteran Adam Thielen after he requested his release from the Minnesota Vikings, and they elevated Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the active roster for Week 14. In turn, they have also taken a helmet away from one of their receivers. Roman Wilson will be […]
You know what they say about assumptions, right? Well, after Roma laid an egg in last weekend’s top-of-the-table clash against Napoli, today’s fixture against 15th-place Cagliari should have been a gimme for the Giallorossi. Even with some lingering injuries in attack, we felt safe labeling this as a “get-right” match for Roma, and, well, in […]

Bluebird Banter is 20 years old today. I remember when the site was an awkward teenager. Or maybe I was an awkward teenager?
