In 2019-20, Kyle Lowry was fourth in the league in minutes per game (36.2), Fred VanVleet was eighth (35.7) and Pascal Siakam was 12th (36.2). In […]
The St. Louis Blues have won two of their past three games, but they still have a big hole to dig out of. It isn't going to be easy and there is likely going to be some changes to the roster, whether that involves hockey trades or selling a piece or two well ahead of the trade deadline to retool and get some assets. David Pagnotta retorted, "We heard Pavel Buchnevich's name in the summer. He's got a full no-move right now. Do they entertain that?" Like many of the Blues, the offense just hasn'...
Friday open thread
Duke’s next opponent is Western Carolina, and there’s just not a lot to go on right now when it comes to the Catamounts. WCU opened against Cincinnati and lost, 94-63. Wes Miller is an adequate coach, but the Bearcats aren’t exactly in a golden era. Duke is going to be heavily favored, but the one […]
Happy Friday, everyone. It’s LSU week, but this year doesn’t have quite the same buzz as usual after the firing of Brian Kelly. Your previews: Alabama might be fourth in the College Football Playoff rankings, but to keep hammering this home – Florida State, Georgia, South Carolina, Missouri. Obviously, the FSU game was a loss, […]
It took the Colorado Buffaloes all of 22 minutes to figure it out before tearing through the New Mexico Lobos, 84-59, in their season debut. Those 22 minutes were back-and-forth, CU trailing for moments while the roster of 10 newcomers struggled to get into an offensive flow. Only Jade Masogayo, Kennedy Sanders and JoJo Nworie […]
Well, Indiana is having the kind of season that everyone thought Penn State would be having.

Before they play Saturday at Beaver Stadium, we spoke […]
The first full month of the Hockey East season is completed, and you know what that means: the October recap of conference happenings.
The Edmonton Oil Kings knew they could have a good season, and so far, the offence is showing it can be one of the most dynamic in the CHL. Oil Kings opponents this year have been working hard — digging pucks out of their own net. Count’em: 29 goals in the last four games for…
Thus concludes the honeymoon phase

It’s week 10 of the NFL season, and the 3-6 Washington Commanders will be facing a 5-3 Detroit Lions team at home in Northwest Stadium in Landover, MD this Sunday at 4:25 pm ET.

Kyle Schwarber had a historic season at a perfect time, as the 2025 MVP finalist is hitting the open market in free agency as arguably the second best available hitter behind Kyle Tucker. Most insiders agree that a reunion with the Phillies seems likely, but as we discussed yesterday with J.T. Realmuto, that is not […]
Are ticket price impacting attendance for Aztec football games? The Aztecs are having a great season, but attendance has still been a major issue? Do they need to reevaluate ticket prices?

When Jeremiah Jackson arrived in the Orioles organization as a minor league signing around this time last year, there was not much fanfare. At that point, he was a 24-year-old who had never made it above the Double-A level and his most recent season with the Mets did not suggest he was on the way […]

Carolina’s 40-point win over Central Arkansas was exactly the kind of performance needed to establish confidence in a new-look team; the Tar Heels looked like a cohesive unit and didn’t play down to their opponent. If you’re like me, it was enough to give you a sense that this season might be different. Tonight, we’ll […]
The Chicago Bears are coming off winning one of the wildest NFL games of the year last Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. The win brought their record to 5-3, and they have a chance to push their record to 6-3, which would be the first time the Bears are 3 games over .500 since 2020, […]

(This is not a Big Board question, though it could be. I think right now, any guesses to that effect would not even be educated, and that seems like the wrong thing for the Big Board.) Back before the 2025 season, I wrote an article that the 2025 bullpen could look a bit different than […]
Happy Friday, everyone, and now that the free agency market is open following the end of the qualifying offer window, things are about to get very exciting around baseball over the coming months.

One of the greatest concerns and topic of discussion on this young Colorado Avalanche season despite their sparkling record of 8-1-5 is the power play. With the disappointing results in the 2025 playoffs and subsequent letting go of assistant coach Ray Bennett, it’s natural that there would be even more focus on how the new-look […]
