Normally as the season goes on, the NFL picture becomes clearer and we start to get a good idea of who’s who and what every team is capable of. For the most part, we’ve reached that point in the season, but there are a handful of teams that seem to provide an unpredictable grab bag […]
If you thought things on the Green Bay Packers-related internet this week were bad, I can inform you that they were just as bad, if not worse, in person at Lambeau Field on Monday night. The Packers offense spent the entire evening shooting itself in the foot between poor offensive line play, hyper-conservative playcalling, procedural […]
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk was eligible to return in Week 5. There was cautious optimism that it would happen after preseason videos surfaced of Aiyuk running routes at about 25 percent. That was in August. The assumption was that, by late October, Aiyuk would be up to speed and ready to play […]
Next up in our look back at the A’s players in 2025, we turn back to the position player side of things by remembering our brief time with rookie corner infielder CJ Alexander. Did we not give him enough of a chance with the big league team? Or is what we saw what we were […]
This game was always going to be tough. When previewing the schedule at the start of the season, playing in Los Angeles against USC looked like the third-toughest game for Northwestern behind Oregon and Penn State. Even after the ‘Cats upset the Nittany Lions (who have lost six straight), the game against USC still felt […]
For the first time in a while, the Chicago Bears playoff odds (and not NFL Draft positioning) are a focus points for us in mid-November.
How refreshing is that for all of us?
Week 11 of the 2025 NFL season kicks off with a Thursday Night Football showdown between the New England Patriots hosting the New York Jets. So while the Chicago Bears will not kick off their game until noon on Sunday, this gives us time to take a look at the updated NFL playoff odds.

In a series of articles published over the summer, I covered the 10 biggest questions facing the Kansas City Chiefs in 2025. We’ve already revisited five of them. Now we’ll look at the rest. 6. What are the ceilings (and floor) at left tackle? Before the season, the Chiefs had two options at left tackle: Josh Simmons and […]
The Green Bay Packers have three losses by a combined 9 points in 2025. While the defense has held up their end of the bargain, the offense has been, at times, disjointed, undisciplined, and lacking in core philosophy. That’s the recipe that’s heating up head coach Matt LaFleur’s seat, despite being 5-3-1. New scene. Enter: The […]
Ah, the bad old days.
Last night’s ugly 124-113 loss to the Detroit Pistons felt a lot like the Chicago Bulls of the past few years. Handed an opportunity to snap a losing streak against a heavily depleted opponent, they played easily their worst game of the 2025-26 season. After narrowly taking down the San Antonio Spurs with the same lineup, they played down to the makeshift Pistons rotation and faced a double-digit deficit for essentially the entire game.
No Cade Cunningham or Jal...
No matter what sort of reports emerge on the Cubs’ spending intentions for this offseason, I remain steadfast in a general position I think we all should share: I’ll believe it when I see it.
With that said, I will also continue beating the drum for them to spend more, citing reasons both (1) strategic ( read this one ) and (2) with respect to their market size, revenue opportunities, and relative financial austerity in the recent past ( read this one ). I will also continue sharing and c...
With a condensed schedule last week, the mailbag column is back for the Las Vegas Raiders’ Week 11 Monday Night Football matchup against the Dallas Cowboys! Of course, with the Raiders sitting at 2-7, a lot of people’s attention is on the offseason right now. So, feel free to drop any questions you have about […]
Amber Glenn is poised to make her first USA Olympics team in figure skating, after barely missing out in 2022.

It is Pat Hentgen’s 57th birthday today. Pat will always be one of my favourite Blue Jays. He was the Cy Young winner (the first Jay to win the award) in 1996, going 20-10 with a 3.22 ERA and pitching an outstanding 265.2 innings. He won the prize on this day in 1996, a terrific […]
The Miami Hurricanes have their last home game of the season as they host NC State in another crucial ACC conference game to keep the postseason dream alive. In the latest College Football Playoff rankings, the committee ranked Miami at 15, moving them ahead three spots from the previous week. If the Canes continue to […]
Of all the guys. That’s what a Columbus Blue Jackets fan must’ve been thinking in overtime on Monday night. Connor McDavid goes supernova in the 3rd period to lead the comeback, but it’s Jack Roslovic, who played 228 games as a Jacket, who ended the game on a silky OT breakaway move on Monday night. …
A mysterious team from the west is in town.
Throughout the 2025 NFL season, SB Nation’s Doug Farrar will write about the game’s Secret Superstars — those players whose performances might slip under the radar for whatever reasons. In this installment, we focus on Houston Texans guard Ed Ingram, who washed out with the Minnesota Vikings, was traded in the offseason to a less stable offensive line, […]
For the 10th game of the 2025 season, the Miami Hurricanes return home to Hard Rock Stadium for the final time to face off against the North Carolina State Wolfpack on Senior Day. Last week, Miami got some revenge for 2024 against the hapless Syracuse Orange and their loudmouth coach, winning easily 38-10. On the […]
One of the better stories coming out of spring, J.C. Escarra was impossible to ignore at camp for the Yankees in 2025. He was a wonderful feel-good story, but the 30-year-old rookie also served as an adequate backup catcher for much of the ‘25 season. Although he occupies a spot that will never garner much […]
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NCAA. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Missouri fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. In the midst of a somewhat struggling season, the Missouri Tigers have lost two out of […]
As the title suggests, I could simply copy and paste what I have written in these write-ups from previous weeks. For the third consecutive week, quarterback Matthew Stafford threw four or more touchdowns in a game, a first in NFL history. This past Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers, the MVP of the 2009 Capital […]
With the Syracuse Orange off this weekend, we are spared a Saturday of anguish, but we want to look for the silver lining, so we threw up the TNIAAM Roundtable signal to discuss the building blocks for a better 2026. Which offensive player(s) can or will be critical pieces for the future? Kevin: I still […]
Last week, the New Orleans Saints ended a four-game losing streak with an energizing win over their division rival in Carolina, earning their first road win of the season. Despite a season filled with losses and plenty of negatives, the Saints come into their bye week on a positive note. Now the team and staff have a […]
We’ve kept saying it in some of these earlier reviews: the Atlanta Braves set a record this past season for the number of players used in a single season. Michael Petersen was one of the many players the Braves relied on for a short period of time while dealing with injuries. It was interesting how […]
General managers are meeting this week in Las Vegas, laying the groundwork for deals this offseason. Free agency is officially open, and the Royals have clear needs in their lineup. While they got another All-Star performance from Bobby Witt Jr., a breakout season from Maikel Garcia, and 30-home-run seasons from Vinnie Pasquantino and Salvador Perez, […]
