One of the things I try to watch out for, in myself as a fan/commentator is to try remember there are things I don’t know. I remember reading Bill James’ Baseball Abstracts, all those years ago, and I remember him saying ‘I’m just getting to the point where I’m finding out all that I don’t […]
The Arizona Cardinals are getting a little healthier, even if the players are not quite ready to go yet. The team announced on Tuesday that they are opening the practice window for Garrett Williams. From the team: The Arizona Cardinals Football Club today announced that the team has designated cornerback Garrett Williams to return from the injured reserve list. […]
Ahead of Tuesday’s game against Calgary, Craig Berube discussed Max Domi’s struggles to start the season, the marathon Game 3 of the World Series, the McMann-Matthews-Robertson line, and the challenge against the Flames. How late did you stick with extra innings in Game 3 of the World Series? You’ve had to rally your team after […] The post Craig Berube on the message to Nick Robertson & Bobby McMann on the Matthews line: “Don’t change who you are as a player because you are playing with Aus...
Not so long ago, I found myself thinking about this AL MVP race, and particularly how, in pretty remarkable ways, the productions from both Aaron Judge and Cal Raleigh transcend the usual standard for this award. Whoever misses out on the award will do so with a historic season, and while it won’t be the […]
The Colorado Rockies always select a lot of pitchers in each year’s Major League Baseball Amateur Draft. 2025 was no exception, as they drafted 14. However, it was Jonathan Bailey “JB” Middleton from the University of Southern Mississippi that was their first off the board. The Mississippi native’s freshman season at Southern Mississippi was a […]

Wow. So, where do they go from here? Last night’s game was epic in every way. All of us are exhausted. Personally, after going to be at 3:15 am Eastern, I’m surprised my brain is functioning enough to write this. That fatigue will be the story line for Game 4, starting most notably with the […]
The New York Rangers are riding the struggle bus. General manager Chris Drury is not liking what he's seeing so far from his hockey club, as the Rangers are off to a 3-5-2 record to start the year, and sit second last in the Eastern Conference. Their offense has produced just 22 goals in 10 games, and despite having Igor Shesterkin in net, that's simply not good enough. Moves could be coming sooner than later. According to David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period, the Rangers have three prime trade...

The Arizona Cardinals made a couple of roster moves yesterday, one of which releasing veteran running back Michael Carter. The surprise is that with Trey Benson still on the injured reserve for one more week, they only have Bam Knight and recently ailing Emari Demercado on the depth chart. It sounds like per Josh Weinfuss […]

We like Mookie Betts and want him to be happy and feel fulfilled as a human. We don’t really like the ownership class and want them to, like, constantly have acid reflux or something. So it’s pretty great that Mookie won yet another award, this one for things he does off the field. Betts was […]
I don’t know if I jinxed anything by talking up the Giants’ replacement bullpen that pitched them through August, but let’s stand back and admire the scale at which the whole thing crashed and burned in September. Their 4.39 ERA was not the worst in the sport (it was merely 20th), nor was their 4.31 […]
For those of us who don’t have a tight allegiance with an NFL franchise, we have all become New York Giants fans (again) right?! From Eli Manning to Evan Engram to Jaxson Dart, the Giants just love Ole Miss and now we love the Giants again! Ultimately, our Rebel favorites that have gone on to […]
There’s a reason Dave Dombrowski said what he said. When Dombrowski spoke to reporters last week following another disappointing, early-round playoff defeat by the Phillies and questioned whether Bryce Harper would be able to return to the previous “elite” level of play he enjoyed during his first six seasons in Philadelphia, it wasn’t done out […]

Say hello to Leam Richardson, who’s agreed a deal until 2027. Danny Schofield and James Beattie have been appointed to his coaching team. A couple of media […]

At a casino, once up, the term ‘playing with house money’ comes into play. Most believe the term originated in faro games in the west, where players were encouraged through early wins (often rigged) by the dealers to stay in, playing betting their winnings so they could get into their full funds. With the odds […]
Major League Baseball is the only one of the Big Four North American sports leagues not to have a salary cap. As a result, a potential salary cap is constantly–and I do mean constantly–a topic of discussion. The whole salary cap issue does wax and wane with the seasons, so to speak, and it’s waxin’ […]
Since Mark Teixeira retired at the end of the 2016 season, the New York Yankees have tried — and failed — to find a long term first baseman. Despite a promising cup of coffee in 2015, Greg Bird was beset by injuries and was out of the picture completely after 2019. Luke Voit took the […]

Pittsburgh Pirates star Paul Skenes has been the subject of trade rumors ever since he was named the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 MLB Draft. Baseball fans have thought that the Pirates would be unable to keep a star like Skenes, so trade proposals get thrown out every once in a while just […]
Staying up to watch 18 innings of World Series baseball was a mistake. And I’d do it again. I think this is just the beginning of us seeing a wave of comparisons between where Bears quarterback Caleb Williams is now and where Lions quarterback Jared Goff was at this time in Year 1 operating in Ben Johnson’s offense: Caleb Williams is near the point on the Jared Goff/Ben Johnson timeline when Goff's production went thru the roof. That isn't realistic for Williams right now based o...
