The Cleveland Cavaliers will likely finish fourth in the Eastern Conference, but we don’t know who they’ll face in the first round of the playoffs, given how tight spots five through 10 are in the Eastern Conference standings. One of the many teams that they could play is the Orlando Magic. The Cavs won the […]
The Toronto Raptors continue their travels to Arizona, where they will go toe-to-toe tonight with the Phoenix Suns. These teams meet twice a year, with the first contest going in Toronto’s favour. So far on this road-trip, the Raptors are 1-1. They beat Chicago effortlessly and followed that up with a close but frustrating loss […]
With the injury to Joshua Jefferson, it’s anyone’s guess for how the Cyclones will match up against an up and down Kentucky squad. It’s a bit of a miracle that Kentucky is even in this position, as they needed a desperation heave to fall true to force overtime against Santa Clara. It will also be […]
The Miami Dolphins and Denver Broncos agreed to a blockbuster trade last week, a move involving wide receiver Jaylen Waddle. Along with Waddle, Miami sent the Broncos a fourth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft (111th overall). The Dolphins received three 2026 picks back in the deal, a first-rounder (30th), a third-rounder (94th), and a […]
For three quarters on Saturday afternoon at Valley Fields, Marquette women’s lacrosse was in a duel with #23 Georgetown. In fact, if you wanted to, you could argue that if the Golden Eagles didn’t have the nationally ranked Hoyas on the ropes when they held them without a goal for the middle 17 minutes of […]
The 17-win Nets are up against the 18-win Kings in the ultimate tank-fest at 6 PM ET, which makes today’s games all that much more exciting. Sacramento is one game ahead of Brooklyn in the standings, so if the Nets pull this one out then they’ll be tied for the third-best odds at the No. […]
A while ago, Cristopher Sanchez agreed to an extension with the Phillies that eventually made him incredibly underpaid. Now, the team has done right by their ace. According to reports, there is new money that is up to $107 million. That the team would choose to give Sanchez a new contract rather than continue to […]
Ty France celebrated the news that he made the Opening Day roster for the San Diego Padres by getting the start at second base when the Padres took on the Milwaukee Brewers at American Family Fields of Phoenix on Saturday. San Diego lost the contest 6-1, but France finished his outing with a 1-for-3 performance. […]
This current Phillies era of being October regulars began in 2022, when they got in as the final NL Wild Card and then went on a run to the World Series before falling to the Astros. In the three years since, they’ve made the postseason every time and won the NL East in the last […]
The coaching candidate buzz continues to headline Boston College Athletics. If the early reports hold true, the candidate can be chosen any day now. Recently, a name that’s floated around with the vacancy is no one other than John Becker. Becker, 57, is the current head coach of the Vermont Catamounts. Dating back to the […]
Yesterday, manager Alex Cora announced that Marcelo Mayer would be the starting second baseman for the 2026 Red Sox. Thus concludes one of the sillier spring training storylines we’ve seen in a long time. There was never really any baseball reason to suggest that either Isiah Kiner-Falefa or Andruw Monasterio would make more sense for […]
Most of Friday’s NCAA tournament games were not that close. Duke beat TCU by 23, Michigan took out Saint Louis by 23 also, Houston took out Texas A&M by 31, Michigan State handled Louisville by 18, and Illinois smacked Louisville by 21. We’ll come back to those. The other three games were really good: Texas […]
In this week’s Media Bytes, the message is clear: no free agency savior is coming—so the Rangers’ path forward runs through trades.
The 2026 NFL Draft is quickly approaching, and Cleveland still needs to add quite a bit of talent at wide receiver this offseason. They just signed Tylan Wallace in free agency, but he’ll most likely be used as a kick and punt returner for the Browns, though he has shown flashes of reliability as a […]
WELCOME TO CAMP NOU!!! The Greatest Stadium on Earth hosts the final Barcelona match before the last international break of the season as the Blaugrana welcome Rayo Vallecano, with Barça looking for all three points to extend their advantage at the top of the table before a massive Madrid Derby that could have a major […]
The Miami Heat’s current difficult stretch reached another devastating blow Saturday night versus the Houston Rockets. They lost at the buzzer off an Amen Thompson game-winning tip in, dropping their fourth straight game in Houston 123-122. Miami is now sporting a 38-33 record and dipped even further into the play-in picture as the ninth seed. […] The post Rockets hand Heat crushing buzzer-beating loss, 123-122 appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
As I pack up my hotel room and prepare to head for the Arena for today’s matchup, I wanted to share the staff predictions for this one. So no preamble, let’s just get into it. Ledman: This Miami team has two Big Ten retreads with Malik Reneau and Tre Donaldson. I think that should give […]

I don’t think I’m talking out of school when I say that the Oilers were far from their best with the Panthers in town on Thursday. Despite being built up as a Stanley Cup rematch, Edmonton was mightily outworked by a shorthanded Florida club that wound up controlling the night from start to finish. Sunday’s…
Colin Rea threw four efficient innings Saturday night in Peoria, Arizona and the Cubs defeated the Mariners 7-1. Rea threw 77 pitches (50 strikes) and generally looked like the solid pitcher he was for the Cubs most of last year. He’ll be in a long relief/spot starter role to begin the season and he seems […]
It’s time to reflect on the San Francisco 49ers’ previous drafts again. Thanks to YouTube poster and 49ers fan Marvin49, we have videos of each draft. We’ll look at every year during the Kyle Shanahan era up to 2025. Today, it’s 2021. The 2021 NFL Draft will forever be defined by one person: Trey Lance. There’s no way to avoid it. The […]
Meet the Mets The Mets have set their Opening Day rotation. We already knew that Freddy Peralta is slated to start on Opening Day, but he will be followed by David Peterson, Nolan McLean, Clay Holmes, and Kodai Senga in that order. Meanwhile, Sean Manaea, whose velocity has been down this spring, will be used […]
The name Larry Stahl won’t ring with any younger baseball fans, but older fans will remember Stahl for a couple of key events in Kansas City and baseball history. The Kansas City Athletics signed the 19-year-old Stahl as a free agent shortly after his high school graduation. He spent the first four seasons of his […]
Didier Fuentes’s stuff has been electric this Spring. A 17/0 K/BB ratio in 9 innings attests to that. Yeah, it’s Spring Training, but he clearly has something. Do you know what he doesn’t have? His curveball. Per our 2026 Preseason Top 30 Prospect list coverage, Didier “is working to develop a curveball.” It’s not bad […]
The Milwaukee Bucks made up for their stinker in Utah, beating the Phoenix Suns 108-105, mainly due to a bunch of huge plays down the stretch. The Bucks moved the ball more and turned it over less than they did against the Jazz, resulting in a much more polished performance. Read our full summary of […]
There has been quite the amount of negativity surrounding the Phillies this offseason. It does not help that the players they ended up signing this offseason were the same ones that were on the team last year, a pot probably stirred a bit by national and local media focusing on the idea that they are […]
