Long before the Yankees became the Yankees of Ruth, Gehrig, October mythology, and even Gerrit, Leonard Leslie “King” Cole (not to be confused with Nat) was one of the franchise’s most intriguing early arms. For a season, he looked like the kind of pitcher who could help stabilize a club still searching for its identity. […]
Let me tell you a story. A few months back I went out to the West Coast to help take care of my nephews for a month. Currently I have a lot of flexibility about where I base myself. My brother and sister-in-law needed some extra help because of work schedules. It ended up being […]
TV: NESN First Pitch: 1:40 p.m. ET Well, this series couldn’t have started any worse. Red Sox starters gave up 15 earned runs in the first two games, thanks to disastrous starts from Garrett Crochet and Sonny Gray.

It’s been a tale of two ballclubs for the Nationals to start the season, as on one hand, they have what is currently a top 5 offense in all of baseball, ranking 4th in wRC+ at 117 and 4th in WAR at 3.6, and on the other hand, they have a bottom 2 pitching staff […]

Mountain West (and beyond) NCAA baseball tournament projections will be new every week leading up to the College World Series. This seems like the natural step to continue our baseball coverage, and mirrors the bowl projections and bracketology we do with our football and basketball coverage, respectively.

It feels like everywhere I go, there’s always another Matt. So, it only feels natural that I join VU Hoops as a new contributor with Matt Lukoskie already running the show, adding another Matt to a world seemingly filled with them. While I’m new to writing on the site, I’m not new to following along. […]
Coming into the season, one of the more polarizing prospects that was supposed to make his debut was Justin Crawford.

It’s here: Game 82 of the regular season for the Chicago Blackhawks, who host the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday night.
These two just played two Mondays ago , so there won’t be too much to dive into here. That game was a 6-2 loss for the Hawks in San Jose, who were hoping to grab a wild-card spot. They didn’t. At 80 games, the Sharks are fifth in the Pacific Division with 84 points, and it was the Los Angeles Kings who grabbed that final spot in the West — I’m just glad it wasn’t the Nashv...
As Real Madrid prepare for another defining European night in Munich, Lucas Vázquez has offered his belief.

You could describe the Philadelphia Flyers’ 2025-26 season with a list of different words, but none of them would be the word “perfect”.
After their January swoon where they lost 11 out of 13 games and looked dead in the water amongst a glut of playoff contenders in the Eastern Conference, without any real juice, or an attribute that separated them from the pack. They were unable to string together any lengthy win streaks, every game without Dan Vladar in between the pipes felt like a sch...

The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins accomplished the task of clinching second place in the Atlantic Division. It comes with a nice bonus of sitting out the best-of-three first round playoffs that tripped them up the prior two seasons. They’ll await the highest seed that emerges from the 3/6 and 4/5 series, with the lowest seeded team playing […]
Thanks to CelticsBlog, I had the pleasure of covering the final two games of the Boston Celtics’ regular season as credentialed media, making the journey from Tasmania, Australia. I won’t bore you with the details of the journey, but despite a 45-hour, door-to-door journey and some horrendous jet lag, I still had the time of […]
The San Francisco 49ers are hosting Oklahoma defender Kendal Daniels for a visit, per NFL Insider Aaron Wilson. Daniels is 6’5, 242 pounds. He was more of a hybrid defender for Brent Venables’ defense at Oklahoma. He’s walked down on the line of scrimmage, played in the slot, or played as a strong or weakside […]
The Cleveland Browns hold the sixth overall pick in the draft and The Athletic’s Dane Brugler wrote this week that “we for sure know” that the Browns want to trade down. Brugler has Cleveland going down from 6 to 12 with the Cowboys in his mock draft, but could this be Les Snead’s opportunity to […]
