2025 Atlanta Braves Prospect Reviews: Cory Wall

How Acquired Cory was drafted by the Braves in the eighth round of the 2023 MLB Draft and signed for $47,500. What Were Expectations? There were few expectations for Cory as he entered the season with just one full season in his belt. That said, Cory was leveraged quite a bit during spring training thanks […]

Mets, Jorge Polanco agree to two-year deal

The Mets made their first move after the Winter Meetings exodus of Pete Alonso and Edwin Díaz, signing veteran Jorge Polanco to a two-year, $40 million contract this afternoon. Polanco is an interesting signing for a myriad of reasons. The switch-hitting veteran, who will turn 33 during the 2026 campaign, has been a steady presence […]

A’s Reportedly Sign Mark Leiter Jr.

The A’s will end up coming away from the Winter Meetings with an agreement after all. The team has reportedly come to terms with right-handed relief pitcher Mark Leiter Jr. on a deal for the upcoming season, per Ken Rosenthal of the Athletic: We’ll be waiting for official confirmation from the team but if this […]

Throwback Thursday: Notre Dame Fighting Irish VS Michigan, 1998

Some games don’t just open a season — they announce a statement. And in 1998, Notre Dame delivered one loud enough to echo all the way from South Bend to Ann Arbor. Coming off a turbulent offseason, a disappointing end to 1997, and a national chorus predicting mediocrity, the Irish entered their season opener against […]

Alonso to the Orioles, per reports

MLB Rumors: Pete Alonso and the Baltimore Orioles have agreed to terms on a 5 year, $155 million deal, per multiple reports. This is a very surprising move on a few levels. First of all, it seemed unlikely that the New York Mets would let Alonso leave. A homegrown hero, Alonso explored the free agent […]

Champions League Preview: Juventus vs. Pafos FC

When it comes to Juventus’ standing in the Champions League, there is not much of a difference in approach from Matchday 5 now onto Matchday 6. Just because they now have a win under their belt in Europe — which, again, is not necessarily you want to suddenly boast about in the first days of […]

Today In NHL History - Ryan O'Byrne's Own Goal

On November 24th in 2008, Montreal Canadiens blueliner Ryan O'Byrne played the puck into his own net during a delayed penalty, tying up the game for the New York Islanders with five minutes remaining in the third period. O'Byrne's own goal was credited to Islanders captain Bill Guerin, who subsequently sealed the 4-3 win with his third round shootout score as the Habs faithful taunted a dejected

Mavericks Fire General Manager Nico Harrison

The Dallas Mavericks have fired General Manager Nico Harrison. The news broke this morning via reports from Shams Charania. Harrison became Dallas’ GM in 2021 and presided over two trips to the Western Conference Finals along with one to the 2024 NBA Finals. In February, 2025 Harrison engineered the trade of franchise superstar Luka Doncic […]

Bear & Balanced: Chicago Bears rookies make a statement

We’ve talked about some crazy games during our time doing Bear & Balanced, but none quite as crazy as yesterday’s 47 to 42 Chicago Bears win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Eight lead changes, 1,071 total yards of offense, 31 fourth-quarter points, and a couple of firsts in NFL history by the Bears. Chicago shook off […]

Jets vs Bengals Final Score: Fields Flourishes, Jets Win!

In the New York Jets’ eighth game of the 2025 season, on a cool, partly cloudy autumn afternoon in Cincinnati, Ohio, the Jets beat the Cincinnati Bengals, 39 – 38 in a wild back and forth contest. The first half saw the Jets offense show some life, but the Jets defense fail miserably on the […]

Power ranking the Dallas Mavericks roster based on VIBES

Just like that, it is opening day for the 2025-26 NBA Season. Six long months have passed since your Dallas Mavericks last played in a game that had meaning. This is a roster that has both changed a lot and very little within the last six or so months, which means it’s time to take […]

Chicago Bears Week 15 Notes: Frozen Domination

It may have taken the first offensive drive to thaw out but from that point on, the Chicago Bears put together their most complete game of the season enroute to a 31-3 thumping of the Cleveland Browns at frozen Soldier Field. Here are my notes from the encouraging contest. Offense: Defense: Special Teams:
