One of my esteemed colleagues calls this time of year the silly season. That name fits just about as much as anything else. In the NFL, there is very much a hurry up and wait mentality. Free agency opens in early March and most fans want their team to act now, now, now. We declare […]
I enjoy Jon Hamm because I am a big Mad Man fan, but he’s a fun sports celebrity too, and he for a time was a fan of the St. Louis Rams, but that team isn’t around anymore. I know they are missed. I know their logos may be missed most of all. Hamm misses […]
The Flyers ended a full-season six-year playoff drought and will play in the playoffs for the first time since 2018, where they lost to the Penguins in the first round. Simply getting back to the postseason is quite the accomplishment based on the past month when Philadelphia was sitting in sixth place in the division […]
On the 15th of April, 1989, ninety-seven football fans, ninety-seven supporter, ninety-seven children and parents and brothers and sisters and cousins and co-workers and friends went to a football match and never came home. The years pass, and with time perhaps the immediacy of tragedy fades a little, at least for some. New fans find […]
Welcome to today’s roundup of New Orleans Saints and NFL news! Why Saints Fans Should be Excited about Jordyn Tyson Will the Saints succumb to the injury concerns, or will they believe in the WR’s talent? Report: 5 teams picking before Saints want to trade down in 2026 draft Could really mess up the Saints’ […]
Barcelona president-elect Joan Laporta has let rip at the match officials in the wake of the team’s Champions League exit at the hands of Atletico Madrid. Raphinha has already blasted the refereeing, claiming Barca were robbed, and Laporta has now added his thoughts on the game. “First of all, I want to congratulate our opponents, […]
The 11th ranked Alabama Crimson Tide traveled to the Magic City to take on Birmingham’s Blazers on Tuesday night. The Tide took the win by a score of 12-6 and improved to 27-11 on the season. The Blazers fell to 23-14. Alabama coach Rob Vaughn has been extremely high on his freshman start from the […]
Recency bias can be a heck of a thing, and a concept that may not serve Yankees righty Will Warren all that well. In his most recent outing on Monday against a forgettable Angels lineup, Warren failed to escape the fourth inning, and although they were all unearned, Los Angeles plated four runs under his […]
Happy Wednesday, A’s fans. Today, the Athletics—and every other MLB team—will wear No. 42 in honor of the legendary Jackie Robinson. After beginning the season 1-5, the Athletics responded with a five-game winning streak to finish their challenging opening 15-game stretch at an even 8-8. That streak came to an end Monday in the opener of […]
The Detroit Lions often tell a lot about their NFL Draft intentions by the players they decide to meet. Whether it’s formal meetings at the NFL Combine or pre-draft visits to their team facility in Allen Park, the Lions’ draft history has been littered with players they’ve done additional work on. So every year, we […]
Meet the Mets The Mets lost their seventh game in as many days, falling to the Dodgers 2-1 in a true pitcher’s duel. Francisco Lindor provided the team’s sole run, hitting his first home run of the season to lead off the game, recording his first RBI of the season in the process. Nolan McLean […]
Baseball games between NC State and East Carolina are typically highly contested affairs, but the Wolfpack saw to none of that on Tuesday in Greenville, scoring five runs across the 2nd and 3rd innings to take an early lead, while Luke Hemric and four other freshman arms kept the Pirates offense at bay. In the […]
In the best pitching duel the Dodgers have seen so far this season, Yoshinobu Yamamoto went toe-to-toe with New York Mets right-hander Nolan McLean and continued the trend of starting pitching giving Mets hitters headaches. Yamamoto got ambushed immediately by Francisco Lindor, allowing a leadoff home run on his third pitch of the game, but […]
The San Jose Sharks took a nice step in the right direction this season, but just missed out on the playoffs. Now, they are entering the offseason with some big decisions to make. One of them is regarding defenseman Mario Ferraro, as the left-shot blueliner is a pending UFA. If Ferraro ends up hitting the free-agent market instead of re-signing with San Jose, several teams should look to sign him. Because of this, let's look at three clubs that could target Ferraro this summer. Philadelp...

Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
The Miami Dolphins are entering a new era, and one analyst thinks the new regime should start things off with a draft gamble.
Phil Garner, a baseball lifer who was for a time the all-time winningest manager in Brewers history, died over the weekend at age 76. Brewers fans will remember Garner as the team’s manager for most of the 1990s. He became the franchise’s all-time leader in wins when he passed Tom Trebelhorn during the 1997 season […]

Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants may be off to a bit of a rocky start this season. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t silver linings in progress. One of those would be starting pitcher Landen Roupp. Broadcaster Mike Krukow made an appearance on KNBR’s “Murph & Markus” show earlier this week and […]
Triple-A: Durham Bulls 4, Norfolk Tides 3 (F/10) The Tides got out to an early lead thanks to a three-run 3rd, but their offense went silent after that as they fell to the Bulls in extras. Durham raced out to an early 1-0 lead thanks to a pair of doubles in the 2nd. Outfielder Jacob […]
In last week’s Ravens Reacts survey, we asked Baltimore Beatdown readers if they wanted to trade for Giants defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence. 88% of respondents answered yes, though a vast majority of those fans insisted upon keeping Baltimore’s first-round pick in next week’s draft (No. 14 overall). Reports have placed Lawrence’s trade value at a […]
It seems like every offseason Arizona’s coaches spend time talking up how involved the tight ends will be in the offense, only to see fairly pedestrian production from that position. The exception was when Tanner McLachlan went from an unknown FCS transfer coming off a knee injury to an NFL draft pick in 2022-23. Otherwise, […]
It’s easy to panic early in the regular season. As the sample size of plate appearances continues to grow and success isn’t consistent, the temptation to pull the rip cord on certain young players grows ever more tempting. However, there is a difference between a player floundering and a player who just isn’t catching the […]
As the Carolina Panthers prepare for the 2026 NFL Draft they do so in the awkward position of not knowing if quarterback Bryce Young is their long-term answer at the most important position in sports. Young enters 2026 on the final year of his rookie contract and Carolina has already picked up his fifth-year option […]
