The Dodgers lost a clunker to the Blue Jays in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night, thanks to a nine-run sixth inning that turned the opener into a laugher. Blake Snell allowed the first three runs of the inning, leaving after not retiring any of his three batters faced in the sixth, […]

We’re pretty close to the halfway point in the 2025 NFL season, and your Detroit Lions are pretty close to expectations at their Week 8 bye. For example, way back in May, Erik Schlitt and I made 2025 Lions game-by-game predictions right after the schedule came out. Both of us had the Lions at 5-2 […]

As we hurl towards Sunday, and the Los Angeles Rams are on a bye week, what is your favorite thing about this team through their seven games played? For me, it’s their ability to lose a heartbreaker against the Philadelphia Eagles, then come back and win, and to lose a sickening game against the San […]

I felt I gave Bo Bichette kind of the short shift in the recap last night (a normal thing; generally, I want the recap up pretty quickly, so some things get missed). I was a little worried about Bo. Not in the way some on Twitter were. I read a lot of people saying that […]

The conversation surrounding the Edmonton Oilers and their goaltending never seems to go away. While the Oilers have gotten off to another ho-hum start at 4-3-1, the issue has been more due to their offense than their goaltending. But, we’ve all seen how the combination of Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard has held the Oilers…

The Arizona Cardinals came into this season wanting their offensive identity to become a great running team. That is what OC Drew Petzing envisioned and is his scheme. The Cardinals were actively gathering offensive linemen who were primarily good run blockers. All of their tight ends were scouted for how they blocked, and if they […]

Barcelona play the biggest game of their season so far when they face Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday afternoon, and there will be quite a few key pieces missing. One of them is Hansi Flick, who is banned for the red card he received against Girona last week, so his assistant Marcus […]

Tyrese Proctor fell to the second round in this past summer’s NBA Draft and when he did, the Cleveland Cavaliers made it clear they felt like they got a steal. And so far, so good. The Cavs have a lot of injuries, which means other guys have to step up and so far, Proctor has. […]

The rise of televised exhibition games has made it easy to overreact to a contest that doesn’t actually count for anything. For example: based on UNC’s exhibition win over Memphis last season, Jalen Washington was going to be a dominant post player, Seth Trimble the team’s leading scorer, and Elliot Cadeau one of the top […]

Are you bad at something if you never do it, or does never doing it make you bad at it? The Atlanta Falcons lack of a middle-of-the-field (MOF) passing attack is starting to draw more attention. Michael Penix Jr.’s passing charts on NextGenStats are raising questions about what’s going on. Is it the coach, quarterback, […]

In a game where Vanderbilt was favored over a Top 10 team for the first time since 1978, the Commodores did their part. It was “only” a 7-point win in the inverse way that it was a 16-point loss to Alabama. Diego Pavia could have run in another TD with just under 2 minutes on […]

Opening blurb. 1.) 1979, Bears @ Vikings: Walter Payton makes history (again) On a cold and blustery October afternoon, the 3–4 Chicago Bears squared off against the 3–4 Minnesota Vikings.

After a few days of mental regrouping, baseball is back, as the Blue Jays and Dodgers kicked off the 2025 World Series at the Rogers Centre up north of the border. It was a tense and tight start to Game 1 of the Fall Classic, but once they found their footing, the Blue Jays took […]

The Mavericks lost to the Wizards on Friday night, 117-107. It was an ugly game for Dallas, and one of the main reasons for that is their clear lack of a point guard. For the last seven years, it was easy to gloss over just how important a game manager is because they had, arguably, […]

The Hawkeyes picked up a second straight win a week ago when they came storming back against the Penn State Nittany Lions to win 25-24. It was a gutsy win despite playing anything but a clean game, much in contrast to their rivalry win the week prior at Wisconsin. Now Iowa again takes to the […]

1955 White Sox co-GMs Chuck Comiskey and John Rigney made their first trade — shortstop Chico Carrasquel and center fielder Jim Busby went to Cleveland for slugging center fielder Larry Doby, the left-handed power hitter the Sox had been lacking in the previous three years. The deal also made room in the starting lineup for a rookie shortstop from Venezuela named Luis Aparicio. Doby’s best […]
