Before looking for a featured image for this writeup, I hadn’t realized Cotton Nash was also a professional basketball player. He only played two seasons, but perhaps that height advantage gives him an edge in Out of the Park as well. (…nah.) Regardless of what it was, Nash’s home run and Scott Stahoviak’s 3-4 game […]

The Seattle Seahawks defense dismantled the Houston Texans on Monday night. Things like 31 yards allowed to running backs, 10 tackles for loss, and 12 passes defensed, you know. Just a normal day in Mike Macdonald land. Anybody who watched the game knows the score and discrepancy should have been an avalanche, had the refs […]
The start of the NBA season approaching means it’s time for my favorite bi-annual tradition: depressing my co-workers by asking them long=term questions about the state of the Philadelphia 76ers. As a team that quickly went from title contenders to ping=pong ball hopefuls, there’s a lot of ways this season can go. So I’ve given […]
Usually I post my college updates and weekend schedule for the Blackhawks on Thursday mornings, but three days between games and the Hawks having an early evening game in Tampa on Thursday gives us an opportunity to look ahead a day earlier than usual.

Thanks to a hot start from their sophomore netminder, the Minnesota-Duluth Bulldogs have joined the rankings. ...
Well, they tried! Try and try they might, the Houston Texans just couldn’t claw their way to victory in an ugly match against the Seattle Seahawks.

The summer drama is over. Cam Thomas remained a Brooklyn Net, but instead of the big deal he’d hoped for, the fifth-year shooting guard wound up with a $5.99 qualifying offer, up in one year.
