This offseason has been a busy one for the Dallas Cowboys. At the beginning of it they did a fair amount of reassessing in figuring out just what went wrong in 2025. Clearly there were a lot of contending options. Much of the focus since has been on the defensive side of the ball. Dallas […]
Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor was named the AFC Offensive Player of the Month for October. The engine driving the NFL’s top offense capped off an astonishing four-game stretch with another phenomenal performance to reassert his status as one of the premier playmakers in the league. Taylor’s numbers in October were a nightmare against […]
Last week ATS: 7-8 (4-4 National, 3-4 B1G) Season ATS: 81-77 (33-40 National, 48-37 B1G) So far this year it has felt like we’ll have one big weekend a month and the rest of the time we are either a game above or below .500. It’s hard to get mad about since our season record […]
Lamar Jackson makes his much-anticipated return as the Ravens vs Dolphins kick off week 9 under the lights on Thursday Night Football. Both teams sit multiple games below .500, but are looking to continue the positive momentum from last week’s wins. The return of Jackson has sent Baltimore all the way out to a touchdown favorite against Miami, who, despite their impressive performance against Atlanta, are still short-handed at multiple positions. So, before the Ravens and Dolphins jump-start w...
It’s been quite a week at the World Series. Monday’s marathon 18-inning game ultimately went to the Dodgers on the back a number of outstanding relief appearances, including the longest of his career from the last man in LA’s bullpen, Will Klein. Klein ultimately earned the win after throwing four scoreless innings before Freddie Freeman […]
With the Detroit Lions coming off their bye week, the team’s coordinators are entering the final stretch of the season with a new perspective on the team. Both John Morton and Kelvin Sheppard admitted they spent much of the bye self-scouting the team—evaluating both their own tendencies and areas of struggle. On Thursday, both provided […]
The Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins should be a marquee matchup for the NFL, with both teams fighting for a playoff berth as the league schedule reaches the halfway point. Both teams come into the game with identical win totals on the year, and it feels like this could be a game that springboards a […]
With five games left in the regular season, Arizona needs to win at least two of them in order to become bowl eligible. The first opportunity comes Saturday at Colorado. The Buffaloes (3-5, 1-4 Big 12) just lost 53-7 at Utah last weekend but at home are 3-2 with the losses by one score each […]
It isn’t at the United Center, but that likely won’t change the emotions for many Blackhawks fans as they watch Jonathan Toews face his former team for the first time. The Jets come in only 3-3-0 at home (they’re undefeated on the road) and in third place in the Central Division. The Blackhawks, meanwhile, are only two points behind the Jets with both teams having played ten games. Note: Ilya Mikheyev was on the ice with the team for the morning skate, but Blackhawks head coach Jeff Bla...
Barcelona’s injury crisis claimed it’s latest victim this week as star midfielder Pedri was ruled out for the foreseeable future. The situation is a real issue for Hansi Flick and was reportedly one reason why he gave four of his first-team players some extra rest this week, according to Mundo Deportivo. Marcus Rashford, Frenkie de […]
This defense gives me a bigger migraine than trying to explain to Hawk fans that they aren’t that good. One play we look like a defense that won’t allow a single yard by ground or air, then we look away for two seconds, and our secondary has a coverage lapse that even Uncle Rico could […]
The New Orleans Saints face the Los Angeles Rams this Halloween week. The big story of the game for the Saints is the first career start at quarterback for rookie second-round pick Tyler Shough, and deservedly so, but the Saints’ futility against the Rams in Los Angeles looms even larger. The Saints could certainly call the “Rams […]
8-0, you are oh so sweet. Last week, we inched closer to Charlotte with a convincing win over a struggling Syracuse team. There is not much time to celebrate, however, because we head back on the road to play the NC State Wolfpack. Quarterback CJ Bailey gave us trouble last year, as he is a […]
“I wanted to write you a glad song, but I didn’t have time, so I wrote you a sad one” It’s always a risk to start writing with someone else’s quote, since that person probably said it better than you ever could. Still, Franz Nicolay’s bitter parody of Mark Twain may be the best way […]
How acquired The Atlanta Braves top international signing in January 2023 was Luis Guanipa out of Venezuela. Guanipa ranked as the #34 prospect according to Pipeline and commanded a $2.5M signing bonus. Guanipa was seen as a bit of a late bloomer for an international signee, as he started to improve at the plate in […]
On Thursday, Monumental Sports Network announced that former Washington Wizards players John Wall and Brendan Haywood will join the Wizards’ broadcast team for games in the 2025-26 season. Haywood will make his season debut on Nov. 1 when Washington hosts the Orlando Magic. Wall will make his on Saturday, Nov. 8 when the Wizards host […]
The Cleveland Browns are enjoying their bye week, which provides a respite for players (and fans) to rest and recharge before starting the second half of the 2025 NFL season. The week off is also an opportunity for the coaching staff to reflect on what went right and wrong during the 2-6 start to the […]
Real Madrid’s Estadio Santiago Bernabéu will transform into a festive wonderland this Christmas, opening its doors from December 24th to December 31st to host a family-friendly experience filled with dazzling lights, live music, and spectacular shows, according to a report by MARCA. The initiative represents a creative way for the club to generate additional revenue […]
The writing was on the wall with where the new salary cap market was heading and the Colorado Avalanche decided to finally lock up their top line star Martin Nečas to an eight-year extension. The contract doesn’t come cheap after an offseason of the bar continually getting raised with new contract extensions on the projected […]
Graduate student Graham Ike was named to the Karl Malone Award preseason watch list, an award that’s given to the best power forward in the country. Drew Timme, now with the South Bay Lakers (Los Angeles Lakers’ G League affiliate), won this honor in the 2020-21 season with the Zags. In his two seasons with […]
The Chicago Bulls keep turning heads. Entering the season with their sights set largely on development, expectations for the organization were rather low. Many sportsbooks and analysts projected the team to finish with a win total in the low 30s, presumably ending their Play-In Tournament streak by missing the postseason altogether. To be sure, we can’t rule this out only four games into the regular season, but early indications are that the Bulls could be on the brink of their best seaso...

Luciano Spalletti is done with his few months back on his vineyard and hanging out with his favorite geese and ducks in the Tuscan sunshine. He is back in the game — and Juventus hope that he is the man who can, at the very least, get things headed in the right direction once again […]
Things are not going well for the Dallas Cowboys. After eight games, the team has only three wins. Their chances of making the playoffs grow slimmer with each week. Besides their inability to win back-to-back games, they have multiple things working against them. For starters, 13 of the 16 NFC teams (81%) also have at […]
The Miami Hurricanes clock in as the 10th-ranked team in the latest AP poll and have their first true road game of the season against the SMU Mustangs. This will be the first time the Hurricanes leave the state of Florida, as they travel to Texas for a big ACC matchup with a ton of […]
