The Illini head to Seattle this weekend for a daunting matchup against a stacked Washington Huskies squad. Both teams enter the game 5-2. To help break down Jedd Fisch’s squad, we asked Mark Schafer of our sister site the UW Dawg Pound to provide deeper insight. The Champaign Room: Illinois has found some success in […]
Welcome to The Link Farm. This is your update on all things Texas A&M (that we didn’t already talk about in another article). And if there’s something we missed, be sure to talk about it in the comments. #BTHOlsu
A 7th seed usually doesn’t have much of a chance, but anything can happen in the playoffs.
Cooperstown, New York is a wonderful little town. Look at this place! Give me this lake, a small sailboat, some beer and I’d gladly spend the whole summer there. But Cooperstown, New York has absolutely nothing — NOTHING — to do with the history of baseball. You know what does have something to do with […]

I don’t often agree with Jared Stillman, but he opened his show on 440 Sports yesterday talking about the legends of the Tennessee Titans franchise. He said that there are three true legends from the Titans era – Steve McNair, Eddie George, and Derrick Henry. That means it carries weight when one of those guys […]
Joseph Parker and Fabio Wardley are set to collide tomorrow in London and in anticipation of the match both fighters sat down for an in person interview with Max Kellerman on behalf of Ring TV. Parker and Wardley both insist they aren’t taking one another lightly considering that the winner will likely have options for […]
On the bright side for NC State, both Noah Rogers and Terrell Anderson are good to go this week, as neither appeared on the initial injury report for the Pitt game. On the unpleasant side, NC State’s two starting offensive guards are listed as questionable. The Wolfpack defense will again be without Sean Brown, AJ […]
PSG defender Eva Gaetino was called up to the senior USWNT from the U-23 camp, the USWNT announced on Friday. The 22-year-old center back has one previous appearance for the USWNT against Argentina in October 2024. She is in her third season with PSG, and previously played for Notre Dame. She will fill the roster […]
The players may be combatants on the field, but we are one big happy family here at SBNation. My favorite feature every week is the five questions feature because it allows me to get behind enemy lines to see what is going on with that week’s opponent. Nicholas McGee of Niners Nation was kind enough […]
Laiatu Latu Latu has been the Colts’ best pass-rusher this season, which is no surprise after a rookie year where he showed flashes. The Titans have two good tackles, but are struggling in pass-protection, as they struggle in all offensive areas. Keeping the edges contained and bringing in quick pressure to rookie quarterback Cam Ward […]
LSU’s season isn’t over, but with two conference losses there is no more room for error. So of course, with their backs against the wall LSU will play host to the undefeated, #3 ranked Aggies. To get us ready for LSU’s do or die game is our pal Rob Beherns of Good Bull Hunting. 1. […]
No. 5 Penn State will finish off its six-game homestand with a pair of games against Stonehill this weekend. The Skyhawks are in their third season as a Division I program. With the Big Ten opener against Ohio State looming, this is the Nittany Lions’ last chance to iron out the wrinkles before the grind […]
Ole Miss may be walking into an early kickoff buzzsaw in Norman on Saturday if oddsmakers and computer nerds are right with its predictions. FanDuel Sportsbook lists the Sooners (6-1, 2-1 SEC) with a -5.5 spread against the Rebels (6-1, 3-1 SEC) with a -200 moneyline. ESPN’s Football Power Index gives Oklahoma a 55 percent […]
It is no secret that the Washington Nationals pitching staff was really bad in 2025. They posted a 5.35 team ERA, which is the highest in Nationals history. However, heading into the season, the starting rotation was seen as a strength. That was due in part to Mitchell Parker. Parker had a strong rookie season […]
With their 5-3 win over the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers on Thursday night the Pittsburgh Penguins improved to 6-2-0 on the young season, making them easily one of the biggest surprises in the NHL through the first two-plus weeks of the season. Nobody expected this, even with a relatively soft early season schedule. […]
In Today’s Links: we’ve got a mailbag, thoughts on a possible Riq Woolen trade, contract talk, Grey Zabel at the bye week, a THREE-IN, THREE-OUT hightlights the ups and downs of the Seattle Seahawks win earlier this week, and a bit more. Happy Friday! The weekend is nigh! Thanks for being here. #np SPAGHETTI by […]
Shane Pinto’s next contract is trending towards a shorter term.. After offering the 25-year-old center an eight-year extension, the Ottawa Senators are now widely viewed as open to a Shane Pinto short-term deal that preserves cap agility and keeps their room dynamics intact. Pinto is scorching to start the season and his leverage is growing, but Ottawa’s stacked salary chart suggests a bridge makes sense. Shane Pinto is betting on himself and has came out FLYING to start the season...
After a start that could best be described as hot and cold, the Los Angeles Rams offense showed the Jacksonville Jaguars (and the rest of the NFL) that they were capable of an efficient four-quarter effort. The finishing stats weren’t gaudy, but the Rams, for the first time this season, controlled the flow of the […]
Special thanks to Kedrick Stumbris of Talkin’ Badgers for joining me to discuss Wisconsin’s roster on this week’s podcast: The Wisconsin Badgers have many, many problems. Disentangling which of these came from dealing with some of the most horrific injury luck I’ve ever seen, which were the forseeable results of poor choices, and which were […]
After snapping their three-game losing streak on Tuesday in Ottawa, the Edmonton Oilers returned to home ice to face the red-hot Montreal Canadiens. And after 60 minutes of the most ridiculous hockey you could ever imagine, the Oilers locked in a 6-5 victory that was anything but easy to get. There were ups, there were…
The Miami Dolphins need Zach Sieler to be better than he has been this year, but it may not be his fault.
Commanders links Articles The Athletic (paywall) Jayden Daniels out for Commanders game at Chiefs; Marcus Mariota will start Monday’s game will be the first time Mariota has started opposite Patrick Mahomes; his two starts against the Chiefs, in the 2016 regular season and 2018 postseason, were either before Mahomes was drafted or during his rookie […]
I will admit that I’ve never been much of a Kyle Isbel guy. I’m generally not a huge fan of players who derive all of their value from fielding, which has been Isbel’s story in the majors. When I saw that I was writing about Isbel in our Season in Review series, however, I realized […]
