Game result: Diamondbacks 16, Cubs 8. Zounds! Jefferson Rojas continues to impress. He’ll need to get that BA up, though, to get to The Show. Miguel Amaya is smoking the ball. So is Matt Shaw. The pitching? The jury is still out. The third inning was troublesome for everypitcher. Knoxville sometime starter Dawson Netz closed […]
Welcome back to our AL Central previews, where I’ll give my take on the other four teams challenging Detroit for the AL Central title. We touched on Kansas City’s top-heavy roster the other day. Later, we’ll be checking out the rebuilding Chicago White Sox and the aimless Minnesota Twins. For now, though, it’s time to […]
The Royals get all their guys back, as the World Baseball Classic has concluded. Matt Strahm left early last night after taking a comebacker to the lower body. (Foot??? Unconfirmed though.) MVP of the WBC, Maikel Garcia doubled down about his comments about Latin America, and playing for his country. Acuña said Team Venezuela was […]
“We need to have a clearer vision on offense, defense, and teams and how we are going to play. Have a coaching staff that understands that clearly. A GM who understands clearly. How do you build players, bring them into the roster that match that system and that philosophy, and hold people accountable for their […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The World Baseball Classic finale took place earlier this week between the teams representing the United States and Venezuela. The San Francisco Giants would have been winners either way, with players representing both countries. Ultimately, though, it was the Venezuelan team that came out on top. Which means that congratulations are […]
The Miami Dolphins continue to undo Chris Grier's draft classes, and that isn't good news for one veteran receiver.
This is your daily thread to talk about the latest hockey news.

I woke up this morning after what seemed like an eternity of tossing and turning. The dreams, nightmares and everything in between as I look forward to the Men’s Basketball team playing in the NCAA Tournament. I have had a tremendous amount of fun writing for them this year here at Corn Nation, and I […]
The Thursday and Friday of the NCAA Tournament are personally my favorite two days in sports. There’s just something wonderful about turning on the TV at noon eastern — usually in my case at like 11:50, where I’ll watch the last 10 minutes of “The Price is Right” — and then just having basketball on […]
Fantasy baseball drafting patterns can act as a massive crowdsourced opinion poll. Every season, millions of people participate in drafts where they select the players they think will play well that season. The majority of those draft selections are recorded and publicly accessible in the aggregate. Some skillsets are more valued in fantasy than in […]
The Iowa Hawkeyes (21-12, 10-10) are back in the NCAA Tournament & take on the Clemson Tigers (24-10, 12-6) in Tampa, FL at 5:50 PM on Friday. FanDuel has the odds at Iowa -2.5 with an over/under of 129.5. The Hawks are -146 favorites despite being the 9 seed. You can get Clemson at +122 […]
NC State and Texas put on a highly entertaining game Tuesday before the Longhorns prevailed, 68-66. This came after Kenny Blakeney’s Howard nipped UMBC, 86-83. As noted previously, both Wolfpack coach Will Wade and Texas coach Sean Miller have expressed bewilderment at their teams and the inability to get everyone on the same page and […]
The moment has come. The Nittany Lions are ready to do what they do best: win the big one. Round 1 action is set to kick off at 12 noon today, with an Intermission estimate based on years past set for 3:30p to 7p. Penn State Upcoming Bouts Reminder to use the Bubbapage liberally for […]
1962 A player who would represent GM Ken Harrelson’s cleverest trade and be a mainstay for some poor late-1980s White Sox teams, Iván Calderón, was born in Fajardo, Puerto Rico. Signed by Seattle at age 17 and in the majors by 22, Calderón’s push for Rookie of the Year (STATS) was derailed by a broken […]
The Tennessee Titans had a pretty good swing tackle last season in Oli Udoh. Udoh played 341 snaps either as a sixth blocker in jumbo packages, or in relief of JC Latham and/or Dan Moore Jr. at left and right tackle. He performed very admirably as far as backup tackles go, allowing three sacks and […]
Real Madrid have published a medical report on goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who suffered a quad injury during his pre-game routine ahead of the return leg against Manchester City. The Belgian star will miss around six weeks with this injury, which is devastating news for Madrid considering that he will miss crucial games like the ones […]
A daily roundup of Jets, Moose coverage — all the pro hockey news that matters in Manitoba and beyond.
It’s March Madness time, Badger fans! The fifth-seeded Wisconsin Badgers take on the 12th-seeded High Point Panthers at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon. Tipoff is at 12:50 PM CT on TBS, and the Badgers are favored by 10.5 points. The Wisconsin Badgers enter this year’s NCAA tournament with a 24-10 record and a 14-6 […]
Many fans in the Yankeeverse aren’t too pleased with Austin Wells after his 2025 campaign. Count this site among them, as Jeremy gave him a C+ in our 2025 Roster Report Cards series. It’s not hard to see why. After being touted as a bat-first catcher for much of his prospect days, Wells showed considerable […]
The Baltimore Ravens have not been shy about drafting prospects from Penn State in recent years. Since 2019, Baltimore has selected four players from the Nittany Lions, more than any other school during that timeframe (Trace McSorley, Odafe Oweh, Jordan Stout, Adisa Isaac). That trend could continue in 2026, as reports emerged late last season […]
New Lions linebacker Damone Clark’s arrival in Detroit is anything but a surprise. Detroit needed depth after several linebackers left for free agency, and Clark’s connection to Lions defensive coordinator Kelvin Sheppard was obvious. Back when Clark played for the purple and gold at LSU, Sheppard was the program’s director of player personnel. That LSU […]
The Florida Panthers (33-31-3) will continue its four-game road trip when they pay a visit to the Edmonton Oilers (34-26-9) tonight at Rogers Place to conclude the season series between last year’s Stanley Cup combatants.
Florida fell to 0-2 on the trek west with Tuesday night’s sloppy 5-2 loss to the Vancouver Canucks. Matthew Tkachuk had a goal and an assist; Sam Bennett scored his 25th of the season; and Carter Verhaeghe assisted on both markers. Sergei Bobrovsky gave up all five goals...
New Commanders tight end Chig Okonkwo was among the top tight ends in this year’s free agency class. For Washington, it was a great addition to the offense. After losing veteran Zach Ertz, the Commanders’ offense lacked a viable receiving threat at the position. Furthermore, even with Ertz on the roster the past two years, […]
Barcelona have been handed some great news on Joan Garcia after the goalkeeper went off injured against Newcastle on Wednesday night in the Champions League. Early reports claimed that Garcia had suffered a calf injury and would miss the next few weeks. However, Barcelona have now said he’s undergone tests and no injury has been […]
