87 hitters have taken 100 PA so far in AA leagues so far this season. The best batting line among them belongs to the Blue Jays’ 2024 fourth round draft pick, Sean Keys. Keys played his college ball at Bucknell, putting up ridiculous numbers against pretty pedestrian Patriot League competition. He popped a bit with […]
As the Kansas City Chiefs prepare to host the Las Vegas Raiders in their Week 7 AFC West matchup on GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium, wide receiver Rashee Rice isn’t looking back. After a knee injury kept him out of nearly all of last season’s games — and an NFL suspension kept him out of […]
Good morning, Bears fans. Welcome to only the second noon kickoff of the season. The Chicago Bears come in on a three-game winning streak and before they take on Spencer Rattler and the one-win New Orleans Saints, the WCG Sunday Livestream would love to talk about how the Bears got here in some interesting, interesting […]
It’s always a good day to beat Tennessee, and last night was no exception. Alabama controlled the action throughout the evening. It wasn’t a completely stress-free affair, but the Tide generally maintained a two score lead in the second half. It was nice, wasn’t it? A few impressions: This game was much closer than the […]
The Houston Rockets second iteration of the Victor Oladipo trade was far more intriguing than the original trade back in 2021. At that time, the franchise was desperate to reach postseason play, after trading away their All-NBA backcourt of James Harden and Russell Westbrook. The team hoped Oladipo and John Wall could rewind the hands […]
The Los Angeles Rams hit a patch of bad luck in the injury department this week, when Friday the injury report confirmed the loss of WR Puka Nacua and RT Rob Havenstein for their game in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Well, it looks as though the Rams won’t be the only team without one […]
The Detroit Lions take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a game that could have huge implications on the NFC playoff race come January. The Lions have not lost back-to-back games in several years, but the 5-1 Bucs are going to put a tough test to that streak, especially given Detroit’s current injury situation. Let’s […]
The Miami Dolphins are having one of their worst seasons in recent years, stumbling their way out of the gate in Week 1 and continuing to fall throughout the first third of the season. Can they turn things around with a visit to the Cleveland Browns? Is there any way for a 1-5 team to […]
The Las Vegas Raiders are back at Arrowhead Stadium to play the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday in Week 7. The Raiders won there in 2023 and barely lost there last year. They will be coming into this game, knowing they can compete against the Chiefs on the road. Game info: Records: The Raiders are 2-4, […]
After losing another game this season, the New Orleans Saints could have moved up a bit in the draft order. Instead, luck was not on their side, and the team is still currently set to select at pick 5. The 2026 Prospects There may not be a bigger riser in the 2026 draft than Ohio […]
Down 2–0 early in Montreal, the Rangers showed the kind of resolve that defines good teams—and the kind of response last year’s group couldn’t find.
For the fourth straight week, Sunday football kicks off with an NFL International Series game—this week featuring the Los Angeles Rams (4-2) and Jacksonville Jaguars (4-2). This will be the third and final NFL game played in England during the 2025 season. Jacksonville has played 13 international games in the last 18 years (this will […]
That’s right, we’ve got another game in Europe. The NFL’s latest trip to London sees the Los Angeles Rams as the “road team” versus the Jacksonville Jaguars, who lost to the Seattle Seahawks last week. We need to see the Jaguars beat the Rams, much in the way the Jags beat the San Francisco 49ers […]
Illinois has only traveled to the west coast once since the Pac-12 schools joined the Big Ten, and we don’t need to relive that tragedy in Eugene. The Illini find themselves in Seattle next week, and the fine people at FanDuel don’t like their chances. Illinois (5-2, 2-2 Big Ten) opened on Sunday as a […]
Hello everyone, and welcome to the Week 7 Minnesota Vikings roundtable here at Daily Norseman. The Vikes are coming off the bye week following two weeks across the pond, and now will turn their efforts toward the Philadelphia Eagles in a battle of teams searching for their identities. Can the Vikings lead the Eagles to […]
As much as we decried yesterday’s loss to Inter Milan as a fait accompli, we have to give credit where it’s due: Roma kept last year’s Champions League finalists under control for most of the game. After giving up a goal that initially seemed like a total defensive breakdown, Roma bounced back, matching the Nerazzurri […]
The "A Tale of Two Expansion Teams" series continues with part three, this time focusing on how each team built their blueline. See what blueline building philosophies each front office has and showed by how they built their blueline.
On its surface, the idea of the Edmonton Oilers being a team that struggles to score is a laughable one. They have perennial 100-point man Connor McDavid. One of the best goal scorers in the league in Leon Drasiatil. A premier offensive defenceman in Evan Bouchard. A jack-of-all-trades Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, who at his peak a…
According to The Athletic, the Twins have talked to famed SLUGGGRRR Nick Punto about the Twins’ open managerial position. Among various other folks. Punto’s currently an infield coach for the Padres; he’s originally from Southern California. (Oddly, his career OBP and SLG are both .323). Now, in a way, I don’t really care who they […]
It’s a pivotal offseason for the Phillies that lies ahead. They need to make at least some changes to their roster in the hopes they can get past the Dodgers and the other teams in the National League to play in a World Series. The options in front of them are difficult, yet varied. They […]
The Seattle Mariners lead the ALCS three games to two over Toronto. They’ve also out-homered the Blue Jays 11-7 so far in the series. A total of 18 balls have left the field in five games, but you wouldn’t really know that if you listened to the broadcast. It seems the only thing the Jays […]
The article title may upset some of you who feel that Willson Contreras has been treated exactly as he should. I will say that I am probably one of the biggest Contreras and supporters of him on the Cardinals, but it was not always that way. As a Cardinals fan in the Chicagoland area, anything […]
In the photo above, two defensive ends who once played for the Dallas Cowboys have since become defensive factors on their respective teams. Over his first two seasons with the Washington Commanders, Dorance Armstrong has 10.5 sacks. Since 1982, that ranks as the tenth most in franchise history for any defensive lineman during their first […]
Good morning! Hopefully you’re up, or remembered to check your fantasy football lineup if you have anyone from either of the teams playing in London this morning. The Jacksonville Jaguars are hosting the Los Angeles Rams at Wembley Stadium in the fourth game of the NFL International Series for the 2025-26 season. The Los Angeles […]
Let’s check in with the results of this week’s SB Nation Reacts survey. Each week we ask Jets fans for their confidence level in the team’s direction. As one might imagine, an 0-6 start has the confidence rating quite low. I have been surprised to date that the weekly confidence ratings have been as high […]
We’re hitting that time of year where sports start to overlap. The fall sports are deep as they approach the end of their regular seasons, and the winter sports are gearing up to get going. We even had some baseball this past week. So you’d be excused if not everything that came out this week […]
