Total tackles, interceptions, and sacks are the hallmarks of any defense. There are other parameters, such as total yards allowed either in the run game or through the air, the number of batted passes, and tackles for loss. But the aforementioned stats are considered the Big-3. Or, are they? There is another metric that is […]

I’m glad that I’m not in charge of a professional sports team. It’s a lot of work, the pressure is intense, and at any given time a lot of people hate your guts. It is also significantly more complicated and nuanced than fans think it is–in a real-time, zero-sum world, you aren’t even guaranteed to […]

It’s been at least five years since I came with this idea of watching a live Real Madrid game at Santiago Bernabéu. And even though I haven’t watched the three-peat players, which was part of my original idea, I finally made it to the Bernabéu. Let me tell you how it happened. It’s been a […]

The best ability is availability, as they often say. Of course, they say a lot of things and just because they say it loud and they say it often, it doesn’t always make it true. But in this case, they are not completely wrong. Roméo Lavia’s time at Chelsea has been injury-hit, to say the […]

Today I ended up having a bit of time to explore how some of the Winnipeg Jets’ prospects are doing early in their seasons. Since I figured I would let the players in the American Hockey League with the Manitoba Moose play some more games before I attempted to see how they were doing…that left me with the young men suiting up outside of the minor leagues. These include a lot of the True North franchise’s most recently drafted players, including 2025 1st rounder Sascha Boumedienne and other pro...

Well, it didn’t take long after declining Tyler Kinley’s option for the Braves to go ahead and do the same thing to Pierce Johnson. Like Kinley, Johnson was also acquired from the Rockies in a Trade Deadline deal, back in 2023. He was lights out after the trade (17/66/48 ERA-/FIP-/xFIP-), and because he checked a […]

While I am not as obsessed with “home court advantage” as Arturas Karnisovas, I think we can all agree that you’re supposed to play better in your own building. For whatever reason, the Bulls have been awful at that over the past few years. They have finished below .500 at the United Center in each of the last two sea...

What went right for Rutgers in their first game: The dynamic duo of Jamichael Davis and Tariq Francis being on the floor together really sparked the offense early and often with their speed.
