Teams will […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
The Miami Dolphins are going through a full overhaul of their coaching staff, and one of their former assistants just got a major promotion with the rival Jets.
With the Panthers offseason underway and free agency just a couple months away, let’s take a look at some of the areas on the roster that Dan Morgan and Brandt Tillis have to address this offseason. Instead of looking at the entire roster, we are going to break the list down by position group. For […]
MOBILE, AL – Things were heating up on Day 2 of the Senior Bowl, both literally and figuratively. The temperature in Mobile was back above 50 degrees for the better part of the day, and the second practice of the week brought a heightened intensity. Here are the highlights. Defense dominated in a big way […]
Indianapolis, IN — The Indianapolis Colts have been searching for viable depth under their star-studded defensive tackle duo of DeForest Buckner and Grover Stewart since the pairing took off. From Taylor Stallworth to Taven Bryan and everyone in between, impactful reserves across the interior have been hard to come by for general manager Chris Ballard […]
A lot of my football analysis is based on body mechanics and science. My schedule doesn’t allow me to pay a ton of attention to teams that aren’t the Buffalo Bills. That said, what I do know a good deal about is behavioral science and hiring strategies, so let’s chat about that a bit. If […]
As mentioned in few other profiles, a part of the Detroit Tigers draft strategy under Scott Harris has been tilted toward allocating their bonus pool to lure prep talent from their college commitments. The corollary to that strategy is finding inexpensive college players who have some major league potential and trying to develop them into […]
In the vote for the #4 prospect, Quinn Mathews did not win by a lot. It was a two-man race and Joshua Baez was only 14 total votes short of Mathews’ total. He received over double the votes of the third-place vote getter. It is not a hard and fast rule, but it was a […]
Despite a disappointing first-round exit in the playoffs, the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 2025 season can generally be considered a success. With a new front office and coaching staff in place and a significant overhaul of the roster, the Jags jumped from four wins to thirteen and won the AFC South. The ultimate goal of course is […]
We’re here to talk about the one thing on everybody’s minds: who is going to be the Milwaukee Brewers’ backup catcher when the 2026 season starts? There was a bit of news on this front on Tuesday, when the Brewers — after rumors swirled for some time — signed the Chicago Cubs’ 2025 backup, Reese […]
There are a few more signing rumors out there, but we’ll wait for confirmation. The Dylan Carlson deal is done. More pitching and infield help (Gabe Klobosits, Karson Simas) may be on the way. We, um, await developments. *means autoplay on, (directions to remove for Firefox and Chrome). {$} means paywall. {$} means limited views. Italics are often used on […]
The Colorado Rockies haven’t exactly had a quiet off-season. They hired an entirely new front office and coaching staff as the organization begins their much needed modernization and rebuild efforts. They’ve signed two veteran free agents in Michael Lorenzen and Willi Castro to Major League deals, acquired Jake McCarthy from the Arizona Diamondbacks, brought on […]
The Houston Rockets head to Georgia to take on the Atlanta Hawks in the second game of a back-to-back for both teams. Atlanta was in Boston last night while the Rockets were at home against the Spurs. Atlanta has already made their big move for the trade deadline, sending Trae Young to Washington for C.J. […]
David Lesky looks at who could be a candidate to lead off for the Royals. If what we saw from Garcia in 2025 is real, and the Royals are betting on it with the contract extension, he fits as a pretty traditional leadoff hitter that blends old school with new school…. I think the argument […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The newest member of the San Francisco Giants, Harrison Bader, joined The Max Mannis Podcast earlier this week to discuss his decision to join the Giants’ organization. During the episode, Bader discusses his approach to facing his new team’s biggest rivals and reigning World Series champions (boo), the Los Angeles Dodgers. […]
Last year, on July 31st, the New York Yankees traded prospects Roc Riggio and Ben Shields to the Colorado Rockies in exchange for right-handed reliever Jake Bird, who had a 3.49 FIP to that point, albeit with a 4.73 ERA, in 53.1 innings. Unfortunately, he imploded upon reaching the Bronx, and just three outings were […]
After a tough loss to the Islanders at home on Monday, the Flyers hit the road again looked to shake that off and tap into some of the truly remarkable success they’ve found on the road so far this season. Their first stop brought them to Columbus last night, where they needed pretty desperately to find a way to hit the reset button, and get themselves back in the win column in short order.
What unfolded, though, was a somewhat stale effort from the team on the complete level of their off...

Until the WNBA and WNBPA agree to a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA), there will be plenty of explanations from both sides on why an agreement has yet to be reached. The fact is, the prior CBA ended on Oct. 31, 2025—and we are nearing February 2026 without a new deal. This extended stalemate is […]
At the beginning of the Nebraska Men’s Basketball season, I told myself that I wasn’t going to cut my hair until they lost. Little did I know that I would be waiting a solid 3 months before finally doing so. I had started to grow my hair out around the time the exhibition game with […]

The Detroit Lions have made a ton of fans happy this offseason by overturning their offensive staff at the top. They opted to fire offensive coordinator John Morton and replace him with Drew Petzing. While the Petzing hire itself wasn’t all that popular with fans—earning mostly Bs, Cs, and Ds in our fan vote—people were […]
Artemi Panarin's days as a New York Ranger are coming to an end, and there's a very good possibility his next stop with be on the west coast. Rangers GM Chris Drury has been working the phones for weeks, trying to facilitate a move that Panarin would approve, and now it sounds like both sides are working together after Panarin was scratched in the Rangers game Wednesday. A game the Rangers lost 5-2 against the New York Islanders. Panarin has reportedly been told if he doesn't approve a trade o...
