In the aftermath of the Cremonese win, Paolo Vanoli talked about how, with a good transfer window, he’d be able to shift the team to a 4-2-3-1. I found that comment a bit odd, as Vanoli’s only rarely played a 4-2-3-1 in his career, during which he’s mostly relied on some form of 3-5-2, as […]
“If we want to become the elite team that we think we can be with the group that we have, we just can’t play that way. We have to learn from it, sooner rather than later.

The Golden State Warriors were dealt a significant blow on Monday night when small forward Jimmy Butler suffered a season-ending ACL tear, according ESPN’s Shams Charania . Golden State had been trending up prior to the injury and walked away with a win against the Miami Heat even after Butler went down in the third quarter. The Warriors have won seven of their last 10 contests, and, at 24-19, are suddenly within range of a top-six seed in the Western Conference. But losing their sec...

The vibes are absolutely immaculate right now. At least for this week, I don’t care about tactics (but, as always, you should read Pauly Kwestel’s new piece!), I don’t care about sustainability, and I definitely don’t care about what’s to come in the summer. I only care about one thing, and that is the fact […]

We have already had several incredibly close voting results in this year’s Community Prospect Rankings, but the race for spot #7 was by far the most ridiculous.

Nothing announces the arrival of the offseason like the Chicago Bears posting the list of players who have signed future contracts with the team. Future contracts (a.k.a. Reserve/Future Contracts) allow for front offices to sign their own team’s practice squad players to non-guaranteed deals for around the league minimum and essentially lock them into roster spots for the offseason program and training camp without taking up a spot on the 53-man roster or eating into the salary cap. So if...
While developing young players has been a bit rocky in the Minnesota Wild organization over the past few years, give them credit where it's due: They seem to have nailed it with Danila Yurov. One of the Wild's two first-rounders from the 2022 Draft, Yurov made the trek overseas this summer for...
Devin McCourty knows a thing or two about playing safety in the NFL. Over his 13 years in the league, he appeared in 229 games and helped the New England Patriots win three Super Bowls. So, when he takes to social media to say a rookie “plays like a 10-year vet,” it is not some […]
