Just the Facts Wait, why are we doing one of these? Boston was a playoff team! Yes they were! No matter what happens, they will be picking at least 23rd in this Draft. Mathis Preston or ALEXANDER COMMAND can be yours when it comes down to it! But! As a result of the Brandon Carlo […]
The San Francisco 49ers have been catching quite a bit of flak for their 2026 draft class, especially their choices to deviate from the consensus board with a couple of perceived reaches throughout the draft. The most notable selections being scrutinized so far have been taking wide receiver De’Zhaun Stribling, considered a late-second round or […]
The Atlanta Falcons have completed their draft and signed several mid-sized sedans full of free agents, but it would be a stretch to suggest their work is complete. This team is set to use 2026 as an evaluation year, but they’d love to be competitive and even playoffs-level-frisky if things break their way, and that […]
The Philadelphia Flyers are already fairly shallow at the center position and now they’re going to approach a puddle-like depth in the middle of the second round of the playoffs. According to a report from The Phildelphia Inquirer’s Mike Sielski late Monday night, Flyers center Noah cates was seen on a cart in the depths of the Lenovo Center in Raleigh after Game 2 and was holding a walking boot for his right foot. The report also mentioned that a spokesman of the Flyers declined to comme...
The New York Knicks crushed the Philadelphia 76ers 137-98 in Game One of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Building a big lead early, they led by 23 at halftime and then cruised, with all starters resting in the fourth quarter. Jalen Brunson poured in 27 of his 35 points in the first half, while Tyrese Maxey […]
Diamondbacks News Diamondbacks’ Ildemaro Vargas named NL Player of the Month by Tyler Drake [Arizona Sports] The honor comes a week after Vargas took home NL Player of the Week. Vargas, who just saw his 27-game hitting streak end over the weekend, has been on a tear this season. Over 22 games in April, Vargas slashed […]
Arrghhhh! How different would I feel if Champagnie had made that last shot? I could view Game 1 as a regrettable offensive underperformance that ultimately cost San Antonio nothing; in fact, it might have been framed as an event which underscored the power of Wemby’s defensive brilliance in the face of scoring struggles that are […]

Less than a week later, the Edmonton Oilers’ first-round defeat is still raw. After back-to-back Stanley Cup Finals, expectations were high in the 2026 postseason. Instead, the Oilers picked up numerous injuries down the stretch and into the postseason, before bowing out after just six games. The 2025-26 Oilers’ 93 points were the fewest in…
The Miami Dolphins are continuing to re-work their roster ahead of the offseason programs. On Monday, they released seven players.
Even though it ended with a disappointing result, their 2025 season was a success for the New England Patriots as a whole and a lot of their players individually. High up on that list you find cornerback Christian Gonzalez. While the third-year defender did have to overcome some challenges, he played his typical brand of […]
The best way to project 2026 success is by looking at the remains of the 2025 team and figuring out how much production returns on the offensive and defensive sides. The gentleman who created both Rock M Nation and the SP+ metric system, Bill Connelly, has a measurement called “returning production”, a metric that attempts […]
Each NFL team is allowed a maximum of 90 players under contract on its offseason roster. The Dallas Cowboys just signed OL DJ Wingfield as an undrafted free agent, bringing them to exactly 90 players under contract on their roster right now – assuming Malachi Lawrence eventually signs his rookie contract. But even though they’ve […]
A combination of day games and morning news gave me a brief, impromptu break, but I’m back. Before this season started, I thought the Braves might need to operate more like their 2019-2021 lot in life (nothing is guaranteed) than their 2022-2025, “Our roster is good enough to do whatever” framework. The Braves have done […]
Though the Mets have not been bitten nearly as severely by the injury bug on the pitching side of things, they have struggled to find answers outside of the top 3 in their rotation. Clay Holmes has dazzled and Freddy Peralta and Nolan McLean have been mostly solid, but all of Kodai Senga, David Peterson, […]
Buffalo Bills running back James Cook is the NFL’s reigning rushing champ, and we’ve hardly spent any time this offseason on his future in Joe Brady’s offense as one of the league’s most efficient ground-game workhorses. Frankly, there’s essentially been no conversation on Buffalo’s running back room over the past few months, and it’s the […]
Last Saturday, Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid expressed caution when speaking to the point that quarterback Patrick Mahomes is on track to return to the field in some capacity for organized-team activities (OTAs) in roughly three weeks. That caution is likely felt by all at the top of the organization, but not the […]
Michael Conforto has been an afterthought for most of this Cubs season. The team didn’t sign him until late February. He got some playing time early on because of the injury to Seiya Suzuki, but since Suzuki’s return April 10, Conforto has played in just 10 games, starting just four of those. He didn’t play […]
Good morning. MLB dot com’s Benjamin Rosenberg writes that the Texas Rangers are getting it done in relief without having a lot of strikeouts or flamethrowers. Matt Snyder writes that with Tarik Skubal out, the AL Cy Young race is wide open with Jacob deGrom among the new favorites. And, the DMN notes that former […]
Performance in the NFL Draft is not always defined by the players a team picks. Sometimes it’s defined by the player they passed up on. Not to bring up a painful example, but Eric Ebron turned out to be an okay player for the Detroit Lions. But when the next three players drafted after Ebron […]
It was a bit of a surprise when the Phillies promoted Felix Reyes to the majors on April 18th. It was a major surprise when he batted cleanup in his first ever MLB game. It was downright shocking that he took Chris Sale deep in his first at bat. However, everything that’s happened since is […]
We’re back today to get you caught up on the latest from Syracuse’s Olympic Sports as the spring sports calendar ramps up. Rowing: The #9 Orange women were off this weekend as they train for the ACC Championships to begin on May 15th. The #12 Syracuse men are off until the Eastern Sprints in Worcester […]
The Orioles went into New York this past Friday trying to prove they were better than their middling record. Instead, they walked away on the wrong end of a four-game sweep, looking more like a team trying to avoid a last-place finish than one contending for a playoff spot. Each of the four losses in […]
The New Orleans Saints didn’t have the best record, but saw their team grow quite a bit in Year 1 under head coach Kellen Moore. While the offense saw sparks behind rookie quarterback Tyler Shough, the defense also saw improvements throughout the year in both the run and the pass game under defensive coordinator Brandon […]
With apologies to Shohei Ohtani and the faithful attending tonight’s contest at Daikin Park, the more significant season barometer will actually be registered approximately 23 miles southwest this evening when the Space Cowboys take the field against the Albuquerque Isotopes at Constellation Field. The likes of Josh Hader, Nate Pearson, & Tatsuya Imai are each […]
Moving on to the Gopher defense. This unit is also returning a lot of production, but probably has more question marks than the offense. A year ago the Gopher defense finished in the middle of the pack of the Big Ten, allowing 23 points per game and they were 11th in yards allowed. Their SP+ […]
