Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 5, Nashville Sounds (Brewers) 2 —Game 1 F/7 The Orioles kept Sam Huff in the organization with a fresh minor league deal after he cleared waivers and elected free agency last week. The move ensured that Baltimore could turn to Huff if either Adley Rutschman or Samuel Basallo went down with an […]
The game before the first Duke game has not been kind to North Carolina of late. In it’s past six contests before the Duke game leading up to the game against Syracuse, the Tar Heels were 1-5 with the one win being an overtime road win against Louisville. The five losses were mostly to not […]
Every year I like to take a look back at my preseason predictions and see how I did. I think it is fair to say this past year’s predictions were not my best. This three-week series is going to look back at my predictions, and last week started with the teams that once made up […]
Before every football season I continue the tradition set by The Godfather Bill C. and come up with a checklist of accomplishments for the Missouri football team to complete. Some lead to a winning season, some lead to a 10-win season, and the best seasons of recent years check a lot more boxes than other […]
With all of the buzz surrounding NFL head coaching hires (particularly around the Las Vegas Raiders hiring Seattle Seahawks OC Klint Kubiak), it is only natural to wonder how certain hirings will stack up compared to others. Will these new hires produce results quickly? Will the teams be better off than they were before the […]
With ten goals in his last twelve games, it may be time to give Brian Halonen another look. Halonen Hot This is not exactly breaking news for fans of this site, but the Devils have struggled scoring goals this season. One guy who is doing that in Utica lately is Brian Halonen. Is it time […]
Count with me, just two days to go until the trade deadline. And with it comes all the allure and perceived value of expiring contracts that the Chicago Bulls are suddenly boasting. The desperation is starting to seep through, and as a result, the calls for Zion Williamson are getting louder. According to Joe Cowley, the Bulls recently made another call to the Pelicans, expressing interest in former No. 1 overall pick Zion Williamson. Chicago has reportedly been in consistent contact with...

We’re back today to get you caught up on the latest from Syracuse’s Olympic Sports. Ice Hockey (13-14-3, 9-9-2): Syracuse split a home series with Lindenwood last weekend. The Orange got a 2-1 overtime win on a goal from Jordan Blouin before dropping a 4-1 decision last Saturday. Syracuse will host RIT this weekend in […]
It was reported on Monday that the Dallas Cowboys have not had any contract extension conversations with wide receiver George Pickens. Given that we are only in the very early days of February, there is no need to freak out. But context is necessary all the way around and in the Cowboys’ case it is […]
The road trip continues, as the Jazz are welcomed by our fellow bottom-of-the-league dwellers in Indiana. Viewers have been warned: This game will contain a substantial amount of unethical tanking. Utah is slowly sinking into what they were always meant to become, currently sitting 13th in the West with a 15-35 record. Whilst our fellow […]

These are the teams with the most Super Bowl wins of all time. With Super Bowl LX on the horizon and the New England Patriots back in the Big Game, history is once again within reach
In an era of one-year contracts and player-friendly deals, free agency is a significant aspect of the team building process. Especially for the Texans, as they still seek their first AFC Championship appearance, all it could take is one or two key free agent decisions. According to Jason from Over The Cap, the Houston Texans […]
As the clock ticked to 7 pm BST yesterday, there was a buzz on the interwebs concerning the move of Dwight McNeil from Everton to Crystal Palace. This late an approach is nothing new on a transfer deadline day. What was different was how the transfer went off the rails and the claims and counter […]
In an effort to build the community here and get some discussion started, I will be posting a question of the day every day. Some days it will be something Tennessee Titans specific. Other days, it will have nothing to do with the Titans. Hopefully, it will be something you look forward to every day […]
Barcelona president Joan Laporta has taken aim at Real Madrid in the wake of their controversial win over Rayo Vallecano at the weekend. Real Madrid secured a late win thanks to a Kylian Mbappe penalty that was awarded in the ninth minute of stoppage time. Laporta joked yesterday that Brahim Diaz dived for the penalty […]
The Philadelphia Flyers have had a rollercoaster of a season. Well, if there is a rollercoaster that is just one hill where you climb up, start to feel good about where you’re going, and then the tracks just end and you plummet to your death. But how will this all affect the upcoming trade deadline? Can they really justify any moves after losing 11 of their last 13 games? Flyers general manager Danny Briere appeared on 97.5 The Fanatic during the Flyers Carnival last weekend and cleared t...
Matthew Stafford is not the first important veteran starting quarterback to put his team in limbo at the end of every season in his twilight years as he contemplates retirement or a change of scenery, he’s just the latest. There’s nothing interesting to say about Stafford’s future until he announces a real decision; speculation by […]
The Mavericks were 0-3 this past week but remain in 12th place in the West. They lost to Minnesota (118-105) and Charlotte (123-121) at home, then traveled to Houston, where they lost to the Rockets (111-107). Cooper Flagg led the team in scoring with 33 points per game. P.J. Washington suffered a concussion in Houston […]
It looked like the Pittsburgh Steelers were about to have their new offensive coordinator in the form of New Orleans Saints quarterbacks coach Scott Tolzien. However, Jordan Schultz reports that Tolzien will be staying in New Orleans. “Saints QBs coach Scott Tolzien plans to remain in New Orleans after interviewing for the Steelers OC job,” […]
Despite the loss on Saturday, Gavin McKenna turned in a strong performance against Michigan State. Saturday’s crowd was the second-largest ever for an outdoor college hockey game. Penn State’s game-worn jerseys from the outdoor game will be auctioned off. Four Penn State women’s hockey players begin their Olympic journey this week. Men’s hockey fell to […]
We’re past the halfway point in the Big Ten race as everyone except Maryland and Iowa has now played at least 11 conference games. Since the Terrapins are clearly not a contender their remaining game is not a factor. In the last update we had five true contenders and I think that holds true, but […]
New general manager Ian Cunningham is stepping into a less-than-ideal situation in Atlanta. On one hand, he has some terrific pieces on both sides of the ball, a reasonable amount of cap space, and a fanbase that knows that 2026 is not a year where we’re going to place outsized expectations after eight straight losing […]
The Matchup: The New Jersey Devils (28-25-2) versus the Columbus Blue Jackets (27-20-7) The Time: 7:00 PM The Broadcast: TV — MSGSN Columbus 8-1-0 Since Firing Head Coach If you are expecting the same sad Columbus team who promised to knock the Devils out on New Years’ Eve and promptly fell apart in the actual […]
There are some players that just look the part. Dylan Crews firmly falls into that category. Despite not producing in his first year and change in the MLB, I still have a lot of faith in him. Some of that may be irrational, but Crews just looks like he should be a really good player. […]
