Comparing the Raptors, in great detail, to their best competition in the NBA's East. The post How the Raptors stack up in the revamped Eastern Conference: Part One first appeared on Raptors Republic .
Each year the NFL makes a big production about ‘releasing the schedule’ in April. But thanks to the NFL’s scheduling formula, we already know 15 of the 17 opponents the Cowboys will face next year, just not when and in what sequence. And with that info, we can take a quick look at what the […]
Adam Albums of the Year Honorable Mentions: clipping. – Dead Channel Sky; Cheekface – Middle Spoon; Vulfpeck – Clarity of Cal; Jason Isbell – Foxes in the Snow; Rosalia – Lux 10: Maribou State – Hallucinating Love Maribou State returned with their first album with their first album since 2017’s Kingdoms in Colour and picked […]
2025 stats: 16 G (3 GS) 36 IP, 4.75 ERA, 5.93 xERA, 1.39 WHIP, 6.5 K/9, 3.3 BB/9, 2.3 HR/9, -0.6 fWAR The San Francisco Giants began the year with three of the five most famous Carsons in western history. Number one, of course, is Johnny Carson. Then there’s Mr. Carson from Downton Abbey. After […]
The holiday week saw just three games in the Horizon League. Now, aside from one in-state tilt with a high-major opponent on Tuesday, the league shifts officially to conference play with a handful of matchups between the conference’s top teams. There’s been a handful of teams that have seemed to be the top contenders for […]
The Cleveland Browns opened as 7.5-point underdogs on the road against the Cincinnati Bengals ahead of their Week 18 match-up, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. The over/under on the game is 44.5. The Browns (4-12) are coming off of a 13-6 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was a game that the Steelers desperately needed to […]
Happy New Years (early)! On Monday, Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman announced on X that he will return to Notre Dame to be the head coach in 2026. So that’s the good news. To be honest, I heard about a month ago that the contract extension was done and Freeman was locked into Notre […]
The Minnesota Vikings swept the season series against the Detroit Lions on Christmas Day. The Vikings knocked their divisional rival out of playoff contention, but also clinched the playoffs for the Packers at the same time. The Week 18 matchup between Green Bay and Minnesota will be meaningless for playoff positioning. The Lions offense was […]
A report out of Japan indicates that Japanese infielder Kazuma Okamoto is now in the United States ahead of the January 4 expiration of his posting period for MLB teams. He is reportedly meeting with his agent, Scott Boras, and visiting interested teams. This sounds like what we heard over the weekend about Tatsuya Imai, whose posting expires two days earlier. I suppose that means we need to be on the lookout for clandestine meetings at Wrigley Field this week. The Cubs should just h...
There will be no Victory Monday this week, as the Buffalo Bills lost 13-12 to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon, bringing their record to 11-5. The loss also clinched the AFC East division title for the New England Patriots, ending Buffalo’s five-year streak. It was an ugly game offensively, and it was the Bills’ […]
The final score wasn’t exactly what we hoped for, but the Bears and 49ers played one heck of a football game. No, Ben Johnson’s team wasn’t able to pull off its seventh come-from-behind victory with less than two minutes left this season, but what they did do is establish that they can hang with anyone they’ll come across in the playoffs on a given day. That doesn’t mean the Bears aren’t flawed. They are. The defense thrives on taking the ball away and struggles mightily when it doesn’t. ...
The Las Vegas Raiders did get some good injury news on starting quarterback Geno Smith but it may not matter. A day after Las Vegas coach Pete Carroll said Smith suffered a high-ankle sprain, the coach said it’s not a high-ankle sprain. However, Carroll called it “significant” and said it will be difficult to for […]
Utah State ended a disappointing 6-7 season with a 34-21 loss to Washington State in the Idaho Potato Bowl on December 22nd. The Aggies went down at the half 14-0, and before the Aggies scored their first touchdown of the game, the Cougars were up 20-0 in the 3rd quarter. The first score of the […]
Outside of the NFC West title race and the battle for the NFC’s No. 1 seed, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford has been in the MVP conversation throughout the season. For much of the year, Stafford has led that discussion, but New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye hasn’t been far behind and has been […]
If you’re wondering whether the Detroit Lions are going to play all of their starter in a “meaningless” Week 18 game against the Chicago Bears, coach Dan Campbell gave a resounding… maybe? Unsurprisingly, Campbell mentioned that the game can say a lot about a team’s set of players, and it’s the standard in Detroit to […]
Rutgers men’s basketball fans, it’s GameDay! The Scarlet Knights wrap up this season’s non-conference slate today as they are set to take on Delaware State at home. The Hornets are by far the lowest-ranked opponents by KenPom that Rutgers has faced this season, as they sit at No.355 out of 365 total teams. Rutgers, on […]
Noah Philp is gone from the Edmonton Oilers organization. The Carolina Hurricanes claimed Philp off of waivers on Monday afternoon, after working his way back from a reported concussion. The 27-year-old played 15 games with the Oilers this season, scoring two goals and adding an assist before his injury. Philp was one of two Oilers…

I joined OTE full time just after the 2014 season, which means this is only the fourth bowl preview I’ve ever had the opportunity to do. I never imagined I’d have to do them in consecutive seasons! Illinois plays Tennessee in the ostensibly neutral-site Music City Bowl tomorrow, and I have a slow week at […]

For the first time since his arrival in Los Angeles, LeBron James is not the leading vote-getter for the Lakers for the All-Star game. The NBA released the first returns for fan voting for the upcoming All-Star game in Los Angeles and Luka Dončić leads all players. LeBron James and Austin Reaves both are in […]
Speaking to reporters as the Kansas City Chiefs began their week of preparation for the season finale — a road game against the Las Vegas Raiders this Sunday afternoon — head coach Andy Reid was happy there were no significant injuries to report in the wake of last Thursday’s 20-13 loss to the Denver Broncos. […]
Out pro wrestlers Dillon McQueen and Nixi XS left Austin with Uncanny gold. 'I don’t plan on leaving this title under lock-and-key,' McQueen said. The post New LGBTQ wrestling champions crowned at Uncanny Attractions’ ‘Winter Ball’ appeared first on Outsports .
The injuries have taken quite a toll on the Green Bay Packers over the past few weeks. Now, with the team locked into the 7 seed in the NFC playoffs ahead of their regular season finale at the Minnesota Vikings, the Packers are expected to sit several banged-up players for that game, a group that […]
Tonight, the Los Angeles Kings will step into Ball Arena, a place where no visiting team has won in regulation so far this season. Pretty remarkable considering we are already 17 home games into the season. The Avalanche are winners of seven straight contests and will hope to push it to eight in what could […]
The All-Star break is fast approaching! Fan voting started just a few weeks ago, and now we have the first round of returns. As always, there are some surprises, some strange results, and some outright bad voting. Starting with the Eastern Conference, Milwaukee’s (?) Giannis Antetokounmpo leads the conference — which, in hindsight, is a […]
