The Red Sox won 5-4 on Monday night after two-time reigning Cy Young Award winner Tarik Skubal was scratched for surgery (boo), the game time was moved up to 6:10 (yay?) and the Justin Bieber to all of my Detroit friend fans (a sizeable faction, randomly), Kevin McGonigle did not play. So things were going […]
Tyrod Taylor is one of the greatest offensive players in Virginia Tech history. The 2010 ACC Player of the Year led the Hokies to two ACC titles, where he was also a two-time ACC Championship Game MVP. Taylor started 38 games over the course of his Virginia Tech career, finishing with a remarkable 34-4 record. […]
I don’t know how much the loss of John Sterling affected the Yankees’ players on the field, but his spirit was certainly palpable in all other forms of the game. Tributes were paid to the iconic broadcaster multiple times, with a touching pregame ceremony and other moments highlighting Sterling’s career and humanity. Perhaps most fitting […]
When college softball players receive their “golden tickets” on their home fields, they know they will be drafted into the AUSL. They just don’t know where. Arizona All-American catcher Sydney Stewart found out where on Monday evening during the 2026 AUSL College Draft. She was taken midway through the second round by the expansion Portland […]

The post Open Thread: 2026 NBA Playoffs (Part 1) appeared first on Denver Stiffs .
They say it’s very hard to sweep a four-game series in baseball. But they must not have watched the 2026 Orioles. In an inevitable result, the Yanks completed the sweep of the Orioles with a 12-1 win in the finale. Aaron Judge’s first-inning homer dug the O’s a hole from which they never escaped, with […]
Thursday afternoon means a fresh episode of Real Life was recorded and edited, and it’s ready to help you wrap up the week. On today’s podcast, the guys discussed the Oilers‘ playoff exit, the John Chayka announcement in Toronto, who Edmonton may need as a new head coach, and much more. The guys kicked off…
Queensberry promoter Frank Warren joined Ariel Helwani’s show to discuss a number of topics including this weekend’s heavyweight fight between Fabio Wardley vs Daniel Dubois, plans for Moses Itauma, his fractured relationship with Turki Alalshikh and more.

On their first day as the new leaders in hockey operations for the Maple Leafs, John Chayka and Mats Sundin joined Real Kyper & Bourne to discuss their process of assessing the organization, charting a path forward, the culture they’re seeking to build, and whether Auston Matthews and William Nylander are “untouchables.” How did the […]
The post John Chayka on whether the Leafs are still building around Matthews & Nylander going forward: “That’s a fair assessment… We are talking about world-...
Just a few hours after designating backup catcher Jonah Heim for assignment, the Atlanta Braves announced a trade to the Athletics in exchange for cash considerations. With catcher Sean Murphy ready to be activated from the IL, it was Heim who found himself as the man left out from the 26-man roster. There was discussion […]
On a day in which some big, dark, looming injury news was made, some big, dark, looming clouds — literal, not metaphorical — hung over downtown Detroit. Eventually, those clouds caused a rain delay, but after dodging the drops, the Tigers dropped the opening contest of their three-game home series against the Red Sox, 5-4. […]
It was João Pedro’s turn to apologize to the fans after yet another horrendous result, our sixth league defeat in a row. At least we did finally score a goal, thanks to JP’s spectacular bicycle kick in stoppage time to provide (scant) consolation in our 3-1 defeat. The wait was almost worth it for our […]
Blue Jays 1 Rays 5 That was a very frustrating game. The Jays had ten hits, but just one extra base hit, a double by Yohendrick Piñango. It is hard to have 10 hits and only get one run. You really have to work at it. And, the Rays scored three in the first. Eric […]
Saturday night in Los Angeles, the Vancouver Whitecaps played out a 1-1 road draw with the LA Galaxy. This was only the second time the Whitecaps have dropped points through ten games, so let’s have a bit of a dive into the individual showings. Yohei Takaoka – 5.5 Yohei was only forced into one save, so it should have been a tidy day for him, …

Names are a funny thing. Today’s Phillies starter has a name that accurately describes him: Aaron Nola is from Louisiana, where one can find New Orleans, or NOLA (he’s from Baton Rouge, but I have a good time with these puns, so I’m gonna laissez les bons temps rouler). Today’s Marlins starter has a name, […]

Hot off yet another home series sweep, the Rays welcomed the Blue Jays to Tropicana Field for the opener of a three-game series. Nick Martinez starts the series opener, bringing a 1.70 ERA into the game after six starts on the season. Start number seven began with a one-pitch flyout, and ended without a runner […]
Gonzaga Bulldogs fans have always had a soft spot for the walk-ons. Rem Bakamus and Dustin Triano became two of the most beloved Zags of their era without ever really seeing the floor. Mike Hart remains the gold standard of the walk-on success story at Gonzaga. Hart showed up in 2008 as an unknown from […]

The last time the White Sox saw the Angels was just last week, and it ended with a White Sox sweep at home. This time, the Good Guys are coming off a series win against the Padres during this latest West Coast road trip, and seeing the somehow even worse-for-wear Angels for the second and […]
The University of Kentucky is considering selling naming rights to Memorial Coliseum as part of an ongoing effort with its multimedia rights partner JMI Sports to generate additional revenue for the athletics department.
