A couple of weeks ago, the Chicago Bears picked up the fifth-year option on right tackle Darnell Wright. With him coming off a Second Team All-Pro honor, the decision was a no-brainer.

No. 6-seeded Northwestern (30-20, 16-8 B1G) started out hot, but its bats seized to deliver as No. 11-seeded Penn State (33-20, 11-13 B1G) took home the upset victory with a late surge. Back in April, the Wildcats swept the Nittany Lions, outscoring them 38-9 across the three games. In the Big Ten Tournament, it looked […]

Remember when the Omaha World-Herald tasked six of their sports writers to write a book titled “Frost: A Husker’s Journey Home” about Scott Frost’s journey to come back and save Nebraska football? It was a book about his days in high school to Stanford then Nebraska and his ascendance at Central Florida to finally make […]
The Minnesota Vikings just went through the NFL Draft without a general manager. Their former GM, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, rejoined the San Francisco 49ers in late February.

Mendoza mania is officially underway in Las Vegas, as the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL draft, quarterback Fernando Mendoza, has completed his first few practices with the Las Vegas Raiders during rookie minicamp.

Ah, the Atlanta Braves and the West Coast. It’s truly a match made in the underworld as far as the Braves are concerned, as the games always just feel like they go one of two ways: Miserable slogs that have you like “I stayed up all night for this?” or miserable slogs that result in […]
13 days ago, the Green Bay Packers moved up seven spots in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft to take defensive tackle Chris McClellan out of Missouri. While some Packers fans (and the vast majority of the APC staff) were hoping for the team to land Iowa State’s Domonique Orange, Brian Gutekunst and […]
The 2026 Syracuse Orange have been defined by their incredible defense. A turnover-causing and shot-limiting machine, the ‘Cuse defense has been historically great this year in allowing just 8.06 goals-against per game. That’s the best mark for a Syracuse team since all the way back in the program’s inaugural season of 1998 (7.77 GAA). In […]

Newcastle United could face a difficult transfer situation involving Anthony Gordon, with Bayern Munich pushing for a deal and the Magpies’ player interested in a move to the German giants. The Geordies are believed to value the winger at around £75 million, but that figure may prove difficult to secure depending on how negotiations unfold, […]
Between 1977 and 2008, the Oregon Ducks had just two head football coaches. For more than 30 years, that remarkable consistency allowed the program to steadily grow from its humble place it occupied in the early to mid-1970s to the national presence it enjoys today. In stark contrast, between 2009 and 2021, Oregon had four […]
