Remember all of those MacKenzie Gore trade rumors at the deadline, well they are back as we approach the offseason. In the last 24 hours, we have gotten even more smoke about the Nationals trading their 26 year old ace. The Nats were close to trading Gore at the deadline, but did not pull the […]
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — The 2022 Illinois Fighting Illini defense was good. Like, really really good. So good that one player from the secondary was a top-five pick in the 2022 NFL Draft. So good that two other defenders were drafted in the second and fourth round. So good that a young defensive coordinator was hired […]

Last week ATS: 9-10 (6-4 National, 3-6 B1G) Season ATS: 74-69 (29-36 National, 45-33 B1G) Last week was so close to looking as good as the previous week. Five of my losses were in games where my pick missed covering by two points or less. USC, Ole Miss, and UCLA all were half a point […]
The Dallas Cowboys 44-22 win against the Washington Commanders provided a lot of reasons for optimism moving forward for the home team, now sitting at 3-3-1 and second place in the NFC East. Many of these reasons all flow together as, above all else, the Cowboys played complementary football to support another big offensive performance. […]
The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is back on the UMFM frequency tonight with a lot of stuff to go over from the hockey world. It's pretty remarkable that there's always something going on in hockey around the globe that is significantly news-worthy, but that's how the sport goes. Whether it be Canada, the US, overseas, the NHL, the AHL, or anywhere else, there are stories - both good and not-so-good - that should be brought forth for greater...
Traveling to Morgantown has traditionally been a struggle for the Frogs, especially going back to the Dana Holgorsen years. Unfortunately for TCU’s Big 12 entry twin, they’re hobbling through the middle of the season in Rich Rodriguez’s second stint for the Mountaineers. After a 2-1 start, the Mountaineers have been ravaged by the injury bug […]
The Silver Slugger finalists across baseball were revealed on Thursday morning and three Athletics saw their names among the contenders for the prestigious award: None of these are a surprise to A’s fans.

Well, folks, the long-anticipated wait is finally over. The teasing and trolling are over, and we have the new Nordiques Jersey. The first game they will see comes against the Hartford Whalers, or as they are currently known, the Carolina Hurricanes. This game doesn’t just set up as a sight for sore eyes because of […]
No. 2 Indiana football is set to welcome the turnaround story of the 2025 college football season when the Hoosiers take on the UCLA Bruins on Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, Indiana. They’re not quite the 2024 Hoosiers in terms of turnaround. UCLA’s move came midseason when the athletic department moved on from now-former […]
In basketball the term rebound is defined by possession after a missed shot. But beyond basketball it’s typically defined as a recovery following a setback. The first item is something Mizzou struggled with for the first two seasons during Dennis Gates’ tenure. The latter defined the third. There were a lot of prognosticators who doubted […]
Marcus Rashford is being tipped to star for Barcelona in El Clasico by Gary Lineker ahead of Sunday’s big game at the Santiago Bernabeu.

If you haven’t heard by now, this morning the FBI announced arrests on gambling charges. Among the accused: NBA coach Chauncey Billups and former players Terry Rozier and Damon Jones. There appear to be two different situations. In the first, four Mafia crime families – the Bonnano, Genovese, Gambino and Lucchese – ran allegedly fixed […]
Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth could be found more easily on a milk carton than on a football field through the team’s first five games. The veteran had just eight catches for 76 yards ahead of the black and gold’s Thursday night contest against the Bengals. But his quiet start to the season quickly came to […]
The NBA world got quite the shock early Tuesday morning when Heat guard Terry Rozier and Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups were arrested for separate gambling-related crimes.

The stop-and-start saga of Raymond Muratalla’s mandatory IBF lightweight title defense against Andy Cruz may finally be reaching a conclusion, as Matchroom Boxing successfully defeated Top Rank at today’s purse bid. Per Jake Donovan, Matchroom’s $888,888 bid soundly trounced Top Rank’s $550,000, a rare victory for Eddie Hearn in this arena. This still leaves them […]
My first conscious memory of the Silver Slugger award was opening a pack of Upper Deck baseball cards and pulling out a Daryl Strawberry card (when he was on the Dodgers) with a Silver Slugger award logo in the corner. I asked my dad, “What’s a Silver Slugger?” and he probably said something like “oh […]
