The New England Patriots had quite the year under head coach Mike Vrabel this past season, reaching the Super Bowl behind a transformed defense and star second-year quarterback Drake Maye.

The San Francisco Giants, feckless and fully on life support after one of the worst road trips in franchise history, were in desperation mode after Sunday’s defeat. As we’ve been told since birth, desperate times call for desperate measures, and in baseball parlance, desperate measures means desperate transactions. And so it wasn’t surprising that the […]

This past week, I asked the following question about the Miami Dolphins’ most recent NFL Draft class: Which of the Miami Dolphins’ 2026 draft picks that most fans are either downplaying or just outright dismissing do you believe will surprise us all and turn into either a good/solid NFL player or even possibly a star, […]
The St. Louis Cardinals will begin one of the most important early season series as their NL central rivals Milwaukee Brewers come to town. Kyle Leahy (3-3, 5.52 ERA, 22 SO) will get the ball for the St. Louis Cardinals while those dastardly Brewers will start Chad Patrick (2-1, 2.57 ERA, 16 SO). First pitch is scheduled for 6:45pm […]

Roster analysis has been made. So now that we’ve had time to reflect, how will these picks impact the 2026 […]
While adding an edge defender wasn’t a pressing or immediate need for the Las Vegas Raiders, general manager John Spytek went with a “best player available” approach to the third round of the 2026 NFL draft, selecting former Auburn pass-rusher Keyron Crawford 67th overall. Crawford comes from a basketball background and didn’t start playing football […]
Aaron Rodgers is close friends with Cardinals offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett. As the Steelers grow impatient with the 42-year-old quarterback and Arizona’s starting job remains uncertain as Jacoby Brissett avoids the team for more money, speculation arose on Monday that a Rodgers-Hackett reunion could make a lot of sense. And let’s not forget that the […]
Winners of five of their last seven games, the Brewers travel to St. Louis to take on the Cardinals for the first time since last fall.

Anthony Richardson BACK at Colts workouts! Mendoza free for White House? Cignetti piece dazzles!
Nick Cross is from the DMV. He was born in Bowie, Maryland. He attended DeMatha Catholic High and then went to the University of Maryland. After four years with the Indianapolis Colts, Cross has come back home. That was assured this spring, with a two-year, $13 million contract in free agency. The Washington Commanders acquired an every-down safety with over 1,000 […]
The history of the Chargers is filled with undrafted free agents who paved their way into the lore of the team by overcoming their lack of draft status to be an impact player.
