Before the San Francisco 49ers signed De’Vondre Campbell during the 2024 offseason, they wanted veteran Eric Kendricks. In fact, both sides agreed to a deal.

Getting you set up for tonight’s Jets game.
It’s not April Fools. This is actually happening. ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that three-time All-Pro center Frank Ragnow, who retired back in June, is coming out of retirement for the Detroit Lions. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport added that “he’s in shape and ready to roll sooner, rather than later.” Notably, the Lions’ current center, […]
I’ll never forget the wise words my friend, a recovering alcoholic, said after Edmonton’s 9-1 loss to Colorado, where he heard many suggest that was rock bottom for the Oilers: “It can always get worse. Until you choose and commit to change, rock bottom can keep happening over and over again,” he said. Edmonton lost…
When Jon Lester came to the Cubs, he was a terrible hitter. No, seriously. He had gone 0-for-36 in his American League career, and that carried over to his first year with the Cubs in 2015.

With six games left to go, including Friday’s contest with the Eagles, the Worldwide Leader’s latest […]

It’s a Thanksgiving Day miracle! As teased by the Detroit Lions and later confirmed by multiple national reporters, All-Pro center Frank Ragnow is coming out of retirement after just a few months on the sideline. “Center Frank Ragnow is returning. Sounds like he’s in shape and ready to roll sooner, rather than later,” NFL Network’s […]
Just 17 games into the season, first-year Celtics guard Anfernee Simons already finds himself in uncharted territory, more than two months before the Feb. 6 NBA trade deadline. Simons, acquired from the Trail Blazers just over four months ago, arrived in Boston as the organization’s marquee addition during a fire-sale offseason. The 26-year-old had just […]

Wednesday was a battle between Ohio State women’s basketball and No. 21 West Virginia. The Big 12 side had a reputation for getting to the free-throw line, and the Buckeyes brought a side with eight underclassmen. The Mountaineers scored 23 points from the free throw line, but it was late free throws by the Buckeyes […]

A contrite and somber Smith issues a an apology to […]
My apologies to the sanctity of the NBA Cup, but watching the Sixers trot out Tyrese Maxey for 30-plus minutes in a 41-point loss on Tuesday evening is not sitting well with me. The Sixers were down their four non-Maxey starters against Orlando and this bad boy was over at halftime. Despite it all, there […]
A day after waiving Jusso Parssinen, the Rangers shuffle again: he clears, Mackey’s up, a CBA clause comes into play, and key injuries leave tonight’s lineup in flux.
Indiana football hasn’t had a ton of recent rivalry success aside from the rather prominent 66-0 drubbing the Hoosiers handed the Boilermakers last season to reclaim the Old Oaken Bucket.

Tuesday’s match with Bodø-Glimt was a must-win, as Juventus started the day outside the playoff places and without a win through the first half of the League Phase. It was anything but a clean game for the Bianconeri, and it looked as if they were in for another disappointing night after gifting Bodø a late […]
