On my recliner of solitude, where I will be sleeping for the 5th night in a row (no I’m not in the doghouse), I wanted to take the time to celebrate my wonderful wife’s 38th birthday! Happy Birthday Heidi! You are a tremendous wife and mother of 3 beautiful kids (even if the twins are […]
Back on June 2, I wrote an article about the Colorado Rockies then-record, but also rescored each game based on “Banana Ball” rules, inspired by the Savannah Bananas. At that time, the Rockies were 12-50 with a run differential of -181. Based on Banana Ball rules, they would’ve actually been 14-15-33 with a run differential […]
Of all the ProCanes currently sitting on practice squads, none feels more primed for an opportunity – or is talked about more – than Xavier Restrepo. Restrepo has endured a waiting game throughout the season, similar to the one he had to do during draft weekend in April. And honestly, given how sluggish the Tennessee […]
The Detroit Lions (5-2) and Minnesota Vikings (3-4) will square off in a Week 9 NFC North battle. These rivals are very familiar with one another, and while the Lions are working with two new coordinators, the Vikings have had the same key staff members in place for the past three seasons. Here’s what Lions […]
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — The Syracuse Orange kept it interesting far longer than fans were hoping in their second exhibition game of the season, but eventually pulled away for an 75-57 win over Pace inside the JMA Wireless Dome. SU trailed by as many as five in the first half, and trailed for over 13 minutes, […]
This is your daily thread to talk about the latest hockey news. BLACKHAWKS So far, so good for Blackhawks after 10 games: “We just believe in one another” ( Sun-Times ) How did Connor Bedard find his voice? By realizing it doesn’t matter what people think ( Sun-Times ) RECAPS: Blackhawks 7, Senators 3 ( SCH ) ( Sun-Times ) ( The Athletic ) ( Tribune ) ( NHL ) ( Fels ) Jonathan Toews brings healthy body and attitude to first game against Blackhawks ( The Athletic ) ...
Braves History 2021 – The Braves take a three-games-to-one lead in the World Series by winning Game 4 at home, 3 – 2, over Houston. The Astros take an early 2 – 0 lead, scoring a run against unlikely opener Dylan Lee in the 1st and another on a solo homer by Jose Altuve in […]
Christian Gonzalez and Keion White arrived in New England as part of the same draft class, joining the Patriots as their first and second picks in 2023. But while both looked like potential long-term cornerstones for the organization up until last season, their paths started to diverge in 2025. Despite dealing with a nagging hamstring […]
Marco Scutaro turns 50 today (sorry Marco, but it only gets worse from here). Many of my favourite Jays have birthdays in October. We picked up Scutaro in trade from the A’s back in November of 2007. In the post about the trade achnegy said: I am not surprised at who this trade partner is […]
Stepan Zvyagin scored a pair of goals, including the game-winner, to lead HC Dinamo-Molodechno to a 3-1 victory over HK Lida in action from the BETERA Extraleague in Belarus. Zvyagin, Florida’s seventh-rounder in 2023, has six goals and 18 points in 19 games played. Last season, Zvyagin had just 10 points in 20 Extraleague games. Shea Busch lit the lamp twice and added an assist in the Everett Silvertips 6-3 win over the Kamloops Blazers. Busch, a fourth-rounder in 2025, leads the Western...
There’s something a bit uncomfortable about early departing players being referred to as alumni of particular colleges. Those players apparently do fit the strict definition of an alumnus if they attended a university for any length of time, and thus can claim affiliation with an institution whether they stopped by for a semester of classes […]
Last Devils Game Late Tuesday night (or early, depending on your location) the Devils lost by a score of 8-4 in Colorado. No, your eyes did not deceive you. Yes, the Devils let up as many goals against as games they had previously won in a row during their now over, 8 game win streak. […]

We’re back! Sorry for not getting this out last week, some personal stuff came up and I dealt with that instead. For those interested, here are Week 8’s rankings: And last week’s inspiring lead-in: Given that I’ve ended up shouldering nearly all of the Power Polls this season, I admit I’m starting to burn out […]
That's Wild It's no secret that the Minnesota Wild are essentially Kirill Kaprizov. Where he goes, they go. With some early-season struggles in all three zones (and especially at 5-on-5) that lead to losing possession of the puck just so easily, is Kaprizov trying to do too much? Does he fee...
With Wednesday’s contract extension for Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, the team has locked up yet another foundational piece of the organization. The following stars are now signed through the 2028 season: Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Penei Sewell, Jameson Williams, Aidan Hutchinson, Alim McNeill, and Kerby Joseph. But the Lions’ core of strong […]

Oilersnation is reviving the Top 100 Edmonton Oilers of All Time list, a project originally created by the late Robin Brownlee in 2015. Pat Hughes comes in at No. 66 on our updated 2025 list. He was ranked No. 36 on Brownlee’s original list. For Edmonton Oilers fans of a certain vintage, the name Pat Hughes…
Hello, friends. There are now 147 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day 2026. At most two of these days will have real baseball, depending on whether the World Series finishes in six or seven games. Today is not one of those days, as the teams will travel back to Toronto to settle whatever is left. […]
Cowboys’ Brian Schottenheimer on 3-4-1 start: Can take stats on offense and shove ’em – Nick Shook, NFL.com Schottenheimer is interested in wins not statistics. In a parity-filled, unpredictable 2025 season, perhaps no team matches their overall record better the Dallas Cowboys. At 3-4-1, Dallas has been good enough to win (and in one instance, […]
2024-25 Recap I came into the 2024-25 season with some hope, and it was dashed almost immediately when Georgia Tech was run off the floor at McCamish by North Florida. The Yellow Jackets followed that up by looking largely uncompetitive in all 4 of their non-conference games against major competition (Georgia, Cincinnati, Oklahoma, and Northwestern). […]
Game notes Setting the scene Two years ago in the same venue, Houston seemingly watched its first-ever Big 12 victory since joining the league slip away. West Virginia trailed by 11 with under four minutes remaining, but with 12 seconds left, Hudson Clement caught a 50-yard touchdown reception on 4th and 10 to spoil the […]
Good morning Gang Green Nation! The New York Jets traded cornerback Michael Carter II and a 2027 seventh round pick to the Philadelphia Eagles in exchange for wide receiver John Metchie III and a 2027 sixth round pick. The Jets seem to prefer Jarvis Brownlee at slot cornerback. Since Carter can’t play outside cornerback, that […]
