I was tired before this game even started. I had just spent two straight days in 10 hours of meetings, and I was mentally done. It was my department’s annual meeting at work, and usually it’s a “destination” event. Sometimes it’s in San Antonio — yes to that! It’s my hometown, an easy drive from […]

Day 11 of the Chicago Bears offseason. Is there anything a large, tavern-style pizza covered with Italian sausage can’t fix? Watching the Cleveland Browns coaching mess unfold makes me glad the Chicago Bears got their guy in Ben Johnson last offseason. ICYMI: The Browns hired a new head coach on Wednesday … and still found a way to make a mess out of it. Because shortly after news of Todd Monken’s hiring broke, so did this: After the Browns informed DC Jim Schwartz this morning t...

Did anyone’s star shine brighter than Jonathan Taylor’s for the 2025 Indianapolis Colts? The veteran stepped up big and helped carry this team to several victories on the year. Yes, he regressed in the second half of the season, but who didn’t? He still put together one of the greatest rushing performances in franchise history. […]

The Wisconsin Badgers were quite active in the transfer portal this offseason, landing 33 commitments, which was the second-most of any team that didn’t change head coaches.

Yesterday, our own Bob Osgood reviewed the pitching staff and noted this when it came to Connelly Early’s projections: “Early’s 16% K-BB, and near-3.50 ERA in both projections, is startling. Of course, thanks to the logjam of pitchers on this team, he’s projected for only 50-60 innings at the moment. That being said, there are […]

Ohio State has long been a pipeline to the first round of the NFL Draft. This year, it has a chance to do something rarer and far more difficult: Put four Buckeyes inside the top 10. It is an outcome that would normally sound hyperbolic. Top-10 selections are shaped by positional value, team need, and […]

A lot can change in a year, for better or worse. Pandemics can transform the world, the environment can be destroyed or restored, and a person’s mindset can be radically altered.

Why are we talking about trade rumors? How many of these articles… Oops. Sorry. Thought I was in the comments section. Look. It’s trade season. There will be trades. There will be trade discussions.

Mike McCarthy is the Pittsburgh Steelers’ newest head coach, following directly behind a line of Mike Tomlin, Bill Cowher, and Chuck Noll in the Steel City. Those are big shoes to fill, and while McCarthy impressed in his introductory press conference, his hiring continues to be met with vitriol from the team’s fanbase. Now that […]

On January 21, 2026, Brandon Sproat was traded to the Milwaukee Brewers. This list, and Sproat’s place on it, was compiled back in late-November.

There have been a few changes surrounding the Dallas Cowboys coaching staff over the last few weeks. Notably, the Cowboys dismissed defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus and hired Christian Parker to replace him and they have been in the process ever since of rounding out their staff. It was reported over last weekend that Dallas was […]

Last week, we talked about the rushing and passing elements of the Carolina Panthers offense. Both phases were pretty underwhelming, which made for an underwhelming offense on the whole. Surely for a team that made the playoffs, that meant the defense was pretty solid, right? Not really. How it went The Panthers were historically bad […]
