Former Pirates pitcher Andrew Heaney retires

Former Pittsburgh Pirates lefty pitcher Andrew Heaney announced his retirement from MLB this weekend. The 34-year-old Heaney won a World Series title with the Los Angeles Dodgers after they picked him up following his release from Pittsburgh in August. Heaney was signed to a one-year deal by the Bucs ahead of the 2025 season for […]

In the Lab: Right Field BPO

We finish our trip through the diamond in right field. Ironically, the combined output by the two primary right fielders is one of the more disappointing parts of the 2025 season, but these two players might be a biggest part of the hope for growth. Ultimately, where this team goes depends greatly on where these […]

Extend Brian Flores Now!

In this festive post-Christmas episode of Two Old Bloggers on Vikings 1st & SKOL, hosts Darren Campbell (fresh from his trip), Dave Stefano, and this season’s sidekick Drew Bunting deliver passionate, unfiltered analysis of the Minnesota Vikings’ thrilling 23-10 upset over the Detroit Lions. The defense stole the show on Netflix’s holiday showcase, forcing six […]

Can the Detroit Lions become a Super Bowl contender again in 2026?

Before the 2025 Detroit Lions season began, many wondered how the team would look after losing both coordinators to head coaching jobs. Many warned of a potential “brain drain” in Detroit, and when Frank Ragnow suddenly retired in May, offensive line concerns were just as large—if not larger—than that of the coaching staff losses. One […]

Match Preview: Manchester United vs. Wolves

Aiming to end 2025 with back-to-back wins, Manchester United will welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to Old Trafford on Tuesday, when Ruben Amorim faces some tough selection calls. Still missing several players, including key creator and captain Bruno Fernandes, United lost Mason Mount to injury during Friday’s home win over Newcastle United, and the England midfielder’s participation […]

Quick Hits: Dynamic Defense Paying Dividends

Happy Simon Edvinsson Day in America to all who celebrate! No seriously, though. What a way to bounce back after Saturday’s ugly loss against the Hurricanes. The Toronto Maple Leafs gave the Red Wings a lot to handle on Sunday. The first period was a defensive battle before Matthew Knies opened the scoring in the middle frame. Moritz Seider would have the equalizer with less than a minute left in the second. Simon Edvinsson would eventually put the game away in OT thanks to a sweet displa...

Editor-in-chief mailbag: That was not a very good week

Last week, I posed the question — are the Sixers good? Well, in the time since, the team dropped three straight games to the Brooklyn Nets, Chicago Bulls and Oklahoma City Thunder. They’ve started a season-long, five-game road trip 0-2 (and the next three games are no picnic) and have a 16-14 record, which is […]

More Weird and Wild Cubs, Kelly Cycle, Hall of Fame Shift, Multiple Retirements, and Other Cubs Bullets

Just a few more days left of having to catch myself when trying to reference the previous season and the following season, without simply being able to say “this year” or “last year” in a very clean and easy way. It’s TBD what it’ll actually mean , but The Athletic is reporting that, “The expectation is for Baltimore to remain in the market for starting pitching help” even after re-signing Zach Eflin last night . My hope is that they’re out, so that they aren’t additional competition on...

Bottom Six Minutes: Juraj Slafkovský is at the top of his game

After a much-needed holiday break, the Montreal Canadiens resumed their road trip on Sunday night in Florida against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Bad bounces and broken sticks saw them down 3-0 going into the third period, and it felt like they were going to lose despite a pretty good overall showing through 40 minutes. Instead, they orchestrated a thrilling comeback, forcing overtime and taking one point before succumbing in the shootout. As disappointing as the final result was, their resil...

Addressing a fan question during his latest Newcastle Q&A, Waugh wrote there is a strong recognition inside […]

Where Matt Eberflus went wrong with Cowboys defense

The Cowboys have one game left to play in the regular season, and no decisions have officially been made, but it sure feels like Matt Eberflus will be departing the staff after just one year as defensive coordinator. Not only has Jerry Jones publicly hinted at it, but his recent comments on Eberflus not playing […]

Cardinals tight end Trey McBride breaks NFL record

There are certain things in life that are just a certainty. Marrying for love will always trump marrying for money. Change will always exist. Mankind will continue to seek the meaning of life. The love of a mother never wavers. No such thing as being too kind to others. And that last Oreo will get […]

UNC begins ACC play with Florida State

For years, when you looked over at the Florida State bench, you’d see Leonard Hamilton roaming the sidelines. The legendary coach ruled the Seminoles for over two decades and was a constant thorn in the side for the Tar Heels. In recent seasons, though, the quality of the Seminoles basketball program suffered as they didn’t […]

Do you think the relief pitching is in a better place?

It’s still the offseason in MLB, a slow slog towards spring training. We usually think of the winter meetings as the time when most of the action occurs, yet here we are on December 29 and there are still a ton of free agents that need a home before equipment trucks depart for Arizona and […]
