The Las Vegas Raiders fired coach Pete Carroll after just one season on Monday. Here are some early thoughts on the move: It had to happen: During the offseason, the idea of Carroll going one and done in Las Vegas seemed unfathomable. Yet, as the season unfolded, it also appeared unfathomable for Carroll to come […]
If you can believe it, Spring Training is right around the corner. Which means we’d better get cracking on the Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List, because we have to rank 44 San Francisco Giants prospects, and we’re only just past the halfway mark! Our latest name is one that has been all over the […]
Everyone who has met former Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski likes him. He is personable and well-liked. Stefanski is respected in NFL circles, and it should not take him long to find a coordinator job with another club. Or, he just might slide into another head coaching position. Numerous media outlets have projected that between […]
It’s that time again! Manchester United are once again in the midst of a managerial search. Ruben Amorim has been terminated, and honestly, he had it coming, given the way he publicly hit out at those directly above him in the org chart yesterday. It’s like he wanted to be sacked, the way he was […]

“Jaylen Brown is a rightful candidate for the Most Improved Player.” This statement comes from a simple question: who stepped up the most this season, and how did it happen? The Most Improved Player award is often associated with young breakouts or role players taking a leap. This season, however, Brown, one of the league’s […]
Officially at the Halfway Point of the Season: Sens Chasing the Wings
After a pair of wins against the bottom tier of the ACC Duke faces a much different conference rival on Tuesday. The Blue Devils will face the team everyone says is the second best in the league, the Louisville Cardinals. One key question for this game is the health of superstar freshman PG Mikel Brown, […]
With GW20 proving to be a frustrating experience for many managers, selecting the perfect captain for GW21 becomes one of the most pivotal decisions of this mid-season stretch. With double points on the line, your armband choice can deliver a match-winning haul or a rank-destroying blank—especially in a fixture slate packed with enticing matchups but […]
It’s a new year so we’ve got new rumors when it comes to the Atlanta Braves and their plans for continuing to improved their roster for the upcoming 2026 season. Earlier on in the offseason, Alex Anthopoulos made it clear that the three areas that they’d be prioritizing were shortstop, bullpen and starting pitching — […]
Arizona men’s basketball remains No. 1 in the Associated Press by the smallest of margins. Arizona received 32 first-place votes in this week’s poll compared to 29 for No. 2 Michigan. A single point separates the two teams in the rankings, with Arizona receiving 1,494 points to Michigan’s 1,493. Arizona is ranked No. 1 for […]
Kevin Durant believes the NBA’s 65-game mandate won’t last long. Or much longer. (Hopefully he’s right). The rule was implemented to prevent players from load managing their way to accolades and honors. (See Kawhi Leonard and LeBron James, of late). The downside is that players with legitimate injuries are also withheld from the same milestones, […]
The Ivy League gives us more data points than any other league in non-conference play to learn about teams. It also gives us the fewest data points within league play for the teams to separate themselves. So now that every Ivy League team is done with its non-conference slate, let’s take a step back and […]
The holidays meant there was no new poll last week, and this week there is not a lot of change due to many teams not playing a lot. As a result, Purdue sits at No. 5 this week once again as we move into the New Year. The most notable change is Michigan gained on […]
The Flyers host the Anaheim Ducks play Tuesday night, which means everyone’s favorite guy to hate, Cutter Gauthier, is back in Philadelphia.
As has been much discussed over the last few years, Gauthier was traded out of Philadelphia two years ago for Jamie Drysdale and a 2025 second round selection (Jack Murtagh). In that trade, the Flyers sent a disgruntled Gauthier to Anaheim, losing one of their two best prospects for a defenseman that had struggled in his early showings in the NHL.

What’s better than keeping the best running back in college football? Keeping the best running back in college football and then landing a transfer portal stud at the position less than 24 hours later. Former Missouri running back Marquise Davis, who took an official visit to U of L over the weekend, committed to the […]
The Milwaukee Brewers officially announced their 2026 coaching staff on Monday morning, headlined with four returning coaches switching roles and four new coaches joining the staff, including a former slugging first baseman at hitting coach. The four moves include promotions for Jim Henderson (previously assistant pitching coach, now pitching coordinator), Jason Lane (previously third base […]
The Jazz (12-22) roll into Portland tonight to face the Trail Blazers, (16-20) looking to get back to their winning ways. Or, perhaps, continue their tanking ways? Utah is 3-7 in their last 10, which is bad, but still amounts to 50% of the Indiana Pacers’ win total and 33% of the 4th-worst Washington Wizards’ […]
After nearly a month of staying at 10 in the AP Poll, BYU moved up a spot to 9 after the road win at Kansas State Saturday. BYU is one of seven Big 12 teams ranked along with Arizona (1), Iowa State (3), Houston (7), Texas Tech (14), Kansas (22), and UCF (25). Villanova, who […]
In what was one of the most chaotic endings to a game we have seen in quite some time, the Pittsburgh Steelers held on to a 26-24 win over the Baltimore Ravens to clinch the AFC North for the first time in five years. Let’s dive into the best and worst performances of the night. […]
Coming into the season, one of the Edmonton Oilers’ biggest perceived strengths was their defensive core. Edmonton’s depth on the back end was a huge reason why they got to a second consecutive Stanley Cup Final last spring. The ability to play Jake Walman in softer matchups gave their bottom six a puck-moving edge that…
The Oilers have completely turned around their season from the previous calendar year. They’re sitting in a good spot right now, 6-4-0 in their last 10 and having lost only four games all season at home in Rogers Place. Most importantly, they’re leading the division, albeit only by a single point, as Vegas and Anaheim…
Not Jacob Misiorowski. Not Paul Skenes. No, not even Stephen Strasburg. The best starting pitcher debut this century belongs to none other than Bryce Miller. In the first five starts of his career, way back in 2023, Miller threw 31.1 innings, allowed four runs on 13 hits, walked three, and struck out 28. By Game […]
There was a bit of a stir during the holiday week when Tatsuya Imai put pen to paper and agreed to a deal with the Houston Astros. The deal that he signed contained multiple opt-out clauses in it, one after each season to be exact. It’s interesting that the opt-outs exist since that type of […]
Oh how sweet it is to win a division title and the number one seed. It’s even sweeter when it happens on the road against a team that’s had the upper hands for years. The Seattle Seahawks are NFC West champions and the top team in the conference after what had to be the most […]
