After beating the Buffalo Sabres, the Maple Leafs improved to 4-4-1 to start the season… matching their record through nine games last season. They’ve posted some bad losses in this stretch, so this isn’t said to completely dismiss their play to date, but some perspective is important here. For all the focus on the Leafs’ […]

So the Craig Albernaz dreams died pretty quickly for the Washington Nationals. Just a day after it was reported that he interviewed for the job, Jeff Passan reported that he was taking the Baltimore Orioles job instead. I wrote that Albernaz was my favorite candidate, so seeing him go to a rival is tough. Albernaz […]
The Los Angeles Rams are tied for the best record in the NFC West with the Seattle Seahawks at 5-2, but they’re temporarily in a wild card spot as they approach midseason because L.A. has yet to win a conference game. However, if the Rams had tied the San Francisco 49ers two weeks ago, then […]
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was.
The Steelers are losers of two straight games, very quickly going from 4-1 and in command of the AFC North to 4-3 and in need of a win to avoid absolute turmoil. Pittsburgh will play host to the team with the best record and the best offense in the NFL, the Indianapolis Colts, in Week […]

The New Orleans Saints dropped to 1-7 after being outplayed heavily by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This was the second week of being totally outclassed and seemed to be moving in the wrong direction. While a 1-7 record is never fun, it isn’t always the worst thing in the world. Up: Draft pick It finally […]
While the Las Vegas Raiders were on a bye during Week 8, they did get some help when it comes to their odds to get the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft. With the New York Jets pulling off a comeback against the Cincinnati Bengals, there are no more winless teams in […]
There are some persistent issues plaguing the Chicago Bears this season, but nothing more so than the penalties. The Bears have been flagged more than their opponents in every game this year, and in Sunday’s 30 to 16 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, they were penalized 11 times for 79 yards, while Baltimore was penalized […]
The Seattle Seahawks head into the bye week sitting at 5-2 — a record that looks impressive on paper, but one that leaves fans still searching for answers about what this team truly is. On the latest episode of The Hawks Eye Podcast, I was joined by Corbin Smith of Locked on Seahawks and Emerald City Spectrum to break down […]
Team news [Dbacks.com] How Carroll jumped his way into Gold Glove contention – “He’ll go as hard as he can and get to it and come up and get it in,” [Dave] McKay said. “Because he realizes the value in working on your jumps at all times, rather than [only doing it] when there’s that […]
The Jets won their first game of the 2025 season in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals. With the team out of the Playoff race, all eyes are on positioning for next year’s NFL Draft. The Jets began the day owning the top pick. They dropped in the order with the win but only to […]
The undermanned Milwaukee Bucks lost 118-113 to the Cleveland Cavaliers in a game that had a playoff feel to it. Milwaukee nearly came back and won this one despite some rough stretches, leaving room for encouragement alongside the sting of defeat. This was Cleveland’s sixth straight victory over the Bucks, a streak that dates back […]

Cody Bellinger was once a superstar; a Rookie of the Year-turned-MVP in his third season whose capabilities only seemed to be climbing higher and higher in LA. By the time he came to the Yankees last December in a one-for-one deal with the Cubs for Cody Poteet, he had endured a steep multi-season decline and […]
It might be too early to consider a long-term contract for Cubs closer Daniel Palencia — and yes, I’m calling him “closer” because I have no doubt he’ll be back in that role in 2026. Palencia had a shoulder issue during the 2025 season, and might have come back sooner than most would have wanted. […]
In Mariners news… Around the league…

Happy Monday Dawg fans, and welcome to today’s Dots. I walked to Husky Stadium on Saturday remarking that UW needed not just a win, but a Feel Good Win against Illinois. With the late collapse to Michigan and meager 1st-half scoring recently, it seemed Husky fans like me needed to feel good about where this […]
We’re three weeks in and it’s still early, but there are some storylines taking shape that look like they could have legs. Last week, we looked at five early surprises I wasn’t buying quite yet .

Ahead of this year’s training camp, New England Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel explained that he was looking at his team’s performances in three categories. There is the good, the bad, and, as he called it, the s—t that gets you beat. For the Patriots, Sunday’s 32-13 win over the Cleveland Browns brought more good […]
