The New England Patriots promoting outside linebacker Bradyn Swinson and tight end C.J. Dippre from the practice squad recently was about more than just bolstering the depth on their active roster. Both rookie players had become a target for other teams trying to lure them away. Among the clubs showing interest were the Buffalo Bills, […]
Good morning, baseball fans! Tonight is the inaugural draft for the Women’s Professional Baseball League! So I just wanted to share all the details again so people can follow along if they want to. The draft will begin at 5:00 p.m. PT and consist of six rounds, with each team drafting five players per round. […]
When musing over how to maximize the No. 1 pick in any draft, including the WNBA Draft, it’s generally frowned upon to “draft for fit,” meaning picking the player with the skillset that will best elevate your team. Teams are encouraged to take the best player available regardless of redundancies. If their 9.7 percent chance […]
MLB Trade Rumors is taking a reader poll on what the Royals should do about their second base situation: If the Royals decided to stick with both players, they’d been committing nearly $10MM to what would essentially be a second base platoon that was below replacement level in 2025. That’s a big gamble given the […]
The Houston Texans are riding a two-game winning streak heading into Thursday night’s showdown with the Buffalo Bills. Making Houston’s win streak more impressive is that they’ve done it with a backup quarterback, as Davis Mills has stepped in and played well in place of C.J. Stroud. Houston’s starter has missed the last two games […]
The Miami Hurricanes (8-2) are taking only their third road trip and second outside of Florida as they head to Blacksburg, VA to face the struggling Virginia Tech Hokies (3-7). The Hurricanes and Hokies will kickoff at noon on ESPN. The ‘Canes are a 90.2% favorite over the Hokies per ESPN. Miami is a double-digit […]
Historically, the Iowa-Michigan State series sits at 25-23-2, with Iowa holding a narrow edge in one of the more evenly matched conference rivalries. The Spartans snapped a two-game Iowa winning streak last season with a win in East Lansing, but history hasn’t been kind to Michigan State visitors at Kinnick Stadium – they’ve only won […]
Happy victory Thursday Bears fans! The cardiac Bears v2.0 strike again (the 2001 team is starting to get really nervous the 2025 is going to yank their moniker fully.) After leading the majority of the game, the Minnesota Vikings scored 2 late 4th quarter touchdowns and suddenly the Bears were sensing déjà vu all over […]
Rather quickly, there has been a growing assumption that Brendan Donovan will be traded. The stove is hot for Donovan, and it seems like it’s a fairly safe assumption to think he won’t be a Cardinal in 2026. A consequence of this is that the Cardinals’ outfield situation is rather bad next year to put […]

Jack Mahoney (HM PuRP) was drafted in the third round of the 2023 MLB Draft. He’s worked his way up through the system, spending all of 2025 with the Double-A Hartford Yard Goats. In 24 starts with the Yard Goats, the right-hander posted a 3-10 record and 5.93 ERA and 1.67 WHIP. However, despite some […]
I know most of you are feeling the same thing I am…you get to work and it’s still dark, you get home and it’s still dark. It has finally approached that time of year where that giant yellow ball in the sky is just a foreign object that I think I see but can’t verify. […]
Hello CSR! We’re back onto the next game after the Panthers miraculous overtime win over the Falcons that once again put them into the NFC playoff conversation.

The Detroit Lions (6-4) and New York Giants (2-9) will square off in a Week 12 battle at Ford Field. While the Lions will be looking to get back to their winning ways, the Giants are trying to salvage what looks like a lost season. “This team has been in a ton of these games,” […]

There is no escaping the gloomy feeling surrounding the Atlanta Falcons. A once-promising season has disintegrated into a demoralizing year of catastrophic losses and franchise-altering consequences. They can’t win close games. They consistently struggle in the third quarter. They can’t find any semblance of consistency offensively. While strides have been made defensively, the unit allows […]
The MLB offseason is creeping along and with it, another important date can be marked off the calendar as today, Friday November 21st at 5pm, the deadline will pass for teams to off contracts to their arbitration eligible player or to non-tender them and thus make them free agents. Entering the offseason, the Rays had […]
With Liverpool having spent upwards of £400M over the summer, including the blockbuster signings of two £100M+ players in Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak, there is some understandable eyebrow raising at the idea that they could now also be big movers in the January window. The November international break has seen a major uptick in […]
The San Jose Sharks are going to be an interesting team to follow this season on the trade market, as they have a boatload of pending free agents, and will have to make some decisions on whether they're going to shoot for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, or try and sell off their assets. The Sharks are exceeding expectations this season, but they should still be building for the future. One forward they should be moving is Alexander Wennberg. The center trade market is slim this season so the Sharks ...

In a rather surprising announcement, Ryan Garcia has taken to social media to record himself signing a contract for a WBC welterweight title fight against Mario Barrios on February 21. “Like I said, guys, I’m pretty tired right now. It’s a long day but I promised you guys I would have this video for you,” […]

The Tennessee Titans defense has been better than advertised lately. They held the Houston Texans to 16 points in a Week 11 loss. They routinely made Justin Herbert uncomfortable and scored a pick-six return touchdown in a 27-20 Week 9 defeat to the Los Angeles Chargers. A stale, ineffective offense has been the Titans’ bigger […]
Happy Thursday, everyone. Alabama basketball notched a huge win last night over Illinois. Nate Oats was pleased with the effort, and Keitenn Bristow was a big part of it. “Keitenn’s made a huge difference. I mean, he played less than 20 minutes. He’s still not in great shape. You can see, he had to ask […]
Marcus Rashford has emerged as a doubt for Saturday’s La Liga clash between Barcelona and Athletic Club after missing training on Thursday.
