To quote one of my favourite movies, The Princess Bride ….. Vizzini: So, it is down to you, and it is down to me. As the Winnipeg Jets and San Jose Sharks get set to finish the regular season of the National Hockey League’s 2025-26 campaign, the above quote is likely how the two franchises feel about each other.

NFL teams are going through various exercises ahead of the NFL Draft. The goal is to prepare yourself for any potential unexpected scenario while you’re on the clock. We’ll work through a scenario I did with Rob Lowder, where we labeled each prospect “hot,” “lukewarm,” and “cold” in each round. If it’s not self-explanatory, “hot” […]

Something was just the slightest bit off with Cincinnati Reds righty Chase Burns during his most recent start. It was a warm night in Great American Ball Park against a moderately imposing Los Angeles Angels lineup back on April 10th, with nothing too out of the ordinary about the conditions. Still, the fireballin’ righty had […]
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
Morning, all! Skip Schumaker took responsibility for yesterday’s loss in a postgame presser, saying he should have walked Shea Langeliers in a tie game with first base open.
