Three FCS Standouts to Play in 2026 Senior Bowl

With the East-West Shrine Bowl in the books, NFL scouts will now turn their attention to the biggest senior showcase game of the offseason this weekend in Mobile with the Senior Bowl. This year the FCS will only have three players represented in the contest but they are arguably three of the classification’s best. Here’s […]

The offseason move the Rams need not make

One of the most underappreciated storylines across the 2025 season for the Los Angeles Rams was the emergence of right tackle Warren McClendon. The Rams hit the jackpot and just saved themselves a ton of salary cap space. A year ago at this time, Los Angeles was staring down the barrel of Rob Havenstein either […]

Football: Defensive Performance Review

Compared to last year’s squad the 2025 team held steady in rush efficiency defense, lost ground in defending explosive passes, but gained ground in other categories. Based on the film review, I think some of the improvement in explosive rush defense and adjusted yards per play were a product of the schedule. Oregon faced more stereotypically […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Hipólito Peña

There are 365 days in a year, with a Yankee born on each of them over the years. Recounting each of these 365 days may not always bring us a Ruth or a Jeter; sometimes we may spend a day looking back on the likes of a Hipólito Peña. It is no small feat to […]

Cedric Mullins’ Mets tenure was an unmitigated disaster

It is never fair to blame a team’s collapse on a single player, let alone one as otherwise likeable as Cedric Mullins, who ultimately was a pretty small cog in the grand scheme of the spectacular failure that was the 2025 season. But if there is a player who came to symbolize—justly or not—that failure, […]

Colorado Rockies prospects: No. 20, Ashly Andujar

20. Ashly Andujar (197 points, 18 ballots) Andujar was the headliner of Colorado’s international free agent class in January 2024, earning a $1.7 million bonus as the 18th ranked international prospect at MLB.com as a well-rounded offensive and defensive player with good bat to ball skills who was likely to stay as an up the middle defender. The […]

The optimist’s case for Jonathan India

Last year, the player I was the most optimistic about bouncing back from a tough season was Maikel Garcia. I didn’t foresee him taking a huge step forward, but you could see heading in 2025 that there were still lots of positives in his batted-ball profile despite the poor results. Garcia worked hard on his […]

Previewing Mountain West Softball: San Diego State Aztecs

Now we move on to our seventh team, the defending MWC Tournament Champion, the San Diego State Aztecs. The Aztecs have made the NCAA Tournament 15 times since 2001, but had been mired deep in mediocrity for the second half of the 2010s, and had still not yet escaped its embrace prior to 2022. That […]

Detroit Lions face just 1 offseason question at WR

One of the biggest strengths of the Detroit Lions’ roster is at wide receiver. Last year, they were the only team with two wideouts who finished in the top-10 in receiving yards. With their core players locked up long-term, Detroit won’t need to overly focus on the wide receiver position for a couple of years. […]

Mark Tyler’s Washington Commanders 2026 Free Agent Targets

It was a LONG 2025 season, marred with injuries, inconsistent performances and a disappointing 5-12 record. Dan Quinn set out to change the trajectory of the team by agreeing to mutually part ways with offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury and firing defensive coordinator Joe Whitt. Washington wasted little time promoting young up-and-comer David Blough to offensive […]

Friday morning Rangers things

Good morning, LSB. The Rangers formally introduced new pitcher MacKenzie Gore yesterday. Kennedi Landry says the Rangers hope Gore can “level up” in Arlington. Evan Grant asks if adding another pitcher to this offense starved roster will be enough to compete in 2026. Kevin Sherrington says the Gore deal was too logical to pass up […]
