It’s a mixed bag of injury news and a busy day for the Atlanta Falcons. Raheem Morris and the team provided multiple updates, including some positive updates for Divine Deablo and Malik Verdon (remember him?) and bad news regarding Storm Norton. Let’s break it all down quickly. Divine Deablo: Back in Week 12? This would […]
With the Philadelphia Eagles on deck for the Detroit Lions, the chatter about the infamous tush push has already overtaken Detroit. The short-yardage play has become synonymous with the Eagles offense, as its success rate of 91.3% on third or fourth-and-1 from 2022-24 is a huge weapon on critical plays. So, yeah, the Lions are […]
#14 Georgia tech (8-1, 5-1) sits atop the ACC standings inching ever closer to a shot at the College Football playoff. Standing in their way first is Boston College (1-9, 0-6). It will be the last home game for these seniors, so hopefully the Eagles aren’t just counting the seconds. These two programs last faced […]
The Olympic Stadium in Berlin has witnessed its share of historic feats over the past nine decades. Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor turned the page to a new chapter on a global stage Sunday, with a performance that will be remembered as one of the greatest individual showcases of the modern NFL era. Taylor […]
With Jackson Powers-Johnson going on injured reserve and potentially missing the rest of the 2025 season, it sounds like the Las Vegas Raiders’ coaching staff has made the decision to put rookie Caleb Rogers at the top of the depth chart at right guard. “I couldn’t think of a better opportunity week one as a […]
The kids will be alright.
When the New England Patriots selected TreVeyon Henderson in the second round of this year’s NFL Draft, they were hoping to get a home run hitter at the running back position. Against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last Sunday, the rookie was just that: Henderson scored touchdowns of 55 and 69 yards and played a pivotal […]
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce could warrant upwards of $20M/year in a new deal this upcoming offseason: “Teams I’ve talked to anticipate [Alec] Pierce will hit a big number in free agency. They think the $20 million per year threshold isn’t out of the question for him. Pierce is […]
The EuroLeague Women regular season is currently on a brief hiatus, known casually as the “national team break.” This is, as the term suggests, a period in which European national teams reconvene and play in a qualifying tournament for another international competition, EuroBasket. Many European basketball clubs will get this time off as their top […]
Overview Voting overview 2025 review My first player review this offseason, Jeff Brigham, had a very similar path to the team as today’s subject. Connor Kaiser came to the Diamondbacks via minor league deal signed early in the 2024/25 offseason after last playing in the Major Leagues in 2023, just like Brigham. Kaiser spent the […]
Joan Garcia has been talking about Hansi Flick’s high line after fresh criticism of the system the Barcelona boss has employed during his time in charge. The Barca defence has leaked goals all season, with the suggestion being Flick’s system has been found out, and Garcia admits it’s a risky tactic. However, the goalkeeper also […]
The Blackhawks return to the United Center ice for the first time in two weeks coming off a successful road trip. Connor Bedard is one of the hottest skaters in the entire NHL at the moment, and the Blackhawks have been showing steady improvement in a number of areas.
Waiting for them will be the New Jersey Devils, who enter Wednesday’s action with the best record in the Eastern Conference. Nothing comes easy in the NHL, and this should be a fun, tough test against a really good Devils sq...
In the NFL, context matters. So many things happen over the course of the season, many of which we as fans, and even those in the national media, are not privy to. I don’t like to throw out overused internet fan tropes, but when the Minnesota Vikings aren’t doing well, the “armchair GM’s” get their […]

The San Francisco 49ers were rather quiet in free agency this offseason, letting several veterans walk, while not signing any player to a deal worth more than $5.25 million per year. Instead, the goal was to rely on and develop the team’s younger talent as they cleaned the books in what seemed like a ‘bridge’ […]
It was another game that wasn’t the prettiest, but UNC football did come away with a second-straight win over the weekend as they took down Stanford. With their consecutive victories, the Tar Heels have clawed their way back to 4-5 after, for a while, it looked like Bill Belichick’s first season was going to end […]
Though he never played a game for the Colorado Avalanche, the story of former organizational prospect Mason Geertsen is worth spotlighting, especially as a drafted prospect still in the NHL at age 30. As a player currently on the Buffalo Sabres roster, Geertsen may finally play in a NHL game on Ball Arena ice in […]
There are very few authors whose releases I count down the days for. Chuck Klostermann is one of them. Shea Serrano is undeniably the other. I’ve been familiar with Serrano’s work for a while now, his trilogy on basketball, hip-hop Continue reading Book Review: “Expensive Basketball” by Shea Serrano →
Winning early-season games at home was the way Oregon Women’s Basketball started last season, and it ended up leading to an NCAA Tournament berth. Hopefully, the pattern continues this year. On Tuesday Oregon overpowered Grand Canyon University 84-66 to push their home and overall record to 3-0. Up by 19 at the end of the […]
Texas A&M notched a third straight road victory thanks to its 38-17 trouncing of Missouri. The Aggies finally get to return home to College Station this Saturday as Texas A&M hosts South Carolina.

While at times it sure didn’t look like the Buffalo Bills made the trip at all, let me assure you that the team traveled to Florida where they were embarrassed by the Miami Dolphins. Buffalo, usually good for one embarrassing loss per season, is now up to three such games by my count. In looking […]
The iconic voice was back in the broadcast booth.
For the first time in 20 years, the NFC East will have a repeat champion. The Eagles can stumble, and are stumbling, their way through the rest of the season, and they will win the division because somebody has to and the rest of the division is declining to participate. The NFC Least is so […]
