Did you have a nice breather over the All-Star break? Well, now it's time to buckle up and strap back in for the second half of the fantasy baseball season. We're now entering the stretch run of the fantasy season, and every waiver wire addition becomes more and more valuable for those of you pushing […]
Monday night’s game between the Brewers and Red Sox got chippy out of nowhere. With two runners on and no outs, Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras stepped to the plate against veteran starter Brandon Woodruff. Woodruff’s first pitch was a high-and-tight sinker just a couple of inches inside. Contreras, known for crowding the strike […]
Like it or not, Sounders have been putting in the work it will take to challenge a Gigante.
NFL Draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah made a claim while on The Mina Kimes show that Miami Dolphins fans should pay attention to.
It didn’t take new Atlanta Falcons general manager Ian Cunningham and new head coach Kevin Stefanski long to understand that their new team has a VERY interesting recent draft history. There was, of course, the decision to sign Kirk Cousins and select Michael Penix in 2024, and in 2025, there was the move to trade […]
Red Sox nation needed a reason to smile on Opening Day after a trainwreck of a road trip (rail trip?) to start the season. The 1986 team is all well and good, but winning games in 2026 is more fun than thinking about games that were won 40 years ago. They also weirdly played a […]
For the vast majority of the time, hot takes are really bad. Sometimes, however, they can be fun and harmless, especially when it involves something you believe about your favorite team. Alternate universes, unpopular opions, all of that. Everyone has a hot take. Here’s mine: had Neymar never left Barça in 2017, he would have […]
So, we’re just over 10 games into the season for the Atlanta Braves and the on-paper results have been encouraging — even if the on-field results have the Braves just one game over .500 as they look to avoid dipping below that mark as they deal with the seemingly impossible task of winning baseball games […]
After a tumultuous 2024 season that saw the Bears cycle through 2 head coaches and 3 offensive coordinators while rookie QB Caleb Williams took an NFL-leading 68 sacks, the Chicago Bears spent the 2025 offseason setting up their young QB for success. They brought in offensive whiz kid Ben Johnson as head coach, acquired veteran […]
The Diamondbacks’ first ten games have been remarkably undefinitive as far as answering any questions one might have had about the team. Pitchers that have been expected to be good have been bad and vice versa. Hitters who were expected to be bad have been worse, and hitters that were expected to be. It all […]
After the team’s first full week, plus a little, the Royals are 5-5. That’s not where they want to be, but there are some positive takeaways from that first week. The losses still count, but they were never going to go 162-0. Even the most optimistic Royals fan can’t look at this team and expect […]
The transfer portal is officially open and we are here to track every move that Villanova makes. This 15-day period has become one of the most important stretches of the year in college basketball. Teams are losing players at a high rate and coaches are working to replace holes from year to year. Kevin Willard […]
Last Friday, the WNBA held its Expansion Draft for the Toronto Tempo and Portland Fire. The Fire selected Washington Mystics forward Emily Engstler and guard Sug Sutton with their picks. The Tempo did not select any Mystics players. Engstler played two seasons for the Mystics from 2024 to 2025 where she averaged 4.8 points per […]
The Philadelphia Flyers have needed to work on the power play for a very long time, and head coach Rick Tocchet knows that. So, he’s trying out some temporary solutions. On Sunday against Boston, the Flyers had a 5-on-3 for nearly two minutes in overtime. It was a very low-risk option, but Philadelphia head coach Rick Tocchet went with five forwards for that power play. The collection of Christian Dvorak, Porter Martone, Travis Konecny, Trevor Zegras, and Tyson Foerster took the ice to go...
I guess it’s a useful exercise, as we tiptoe ever closer to the promised land, to take one more quick glance at the abyss. A Victor Wembanyama injury, short term, long term, chronic, you name it, is the proverbial other shoe waiting to drop. It’s not an anchor that weighs the franchise down, and it’s […]
After a few days off, the Miami Heat will be back in action to kick off the final road trip of the season— starting with a back-to-back set of matchups versus the Toronto Raptors. Toronto is currently in the Eastern Conference’s sixth seed at 43-35 overall. These two games could be crucial and potentially set […] The post GAME PREVIEW: Heat to open final three-game road trip of season in Toronto appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
We discussed what scouts are saying about a handful of wide receivers the San Francisco 49ers might be interested in. Now, we turn the page to the other perceived biggest need and look at what these anonymous scouts are saying about the EDGE rushers in this class, courtesy of Bob McGinn. Before we get into […]
The Los Angeles Rams don’t just ask their wide receivers to block, but to block a lot. It’s part of their role. It makes me wonder if any rookies would rather not go to L.A. as they’d rather just focus on catching, and not so much blocking. Food for thought. The fact that the Rams […]
Following Saturday’s 4-0 embarrassment at the hands of Manchester City in a game that saw Liverpool’s squad appear to give up on the match after going down a goal in the first half and where City took the gas off and passed it around them comfortably after the hour mark, expectations for Wednesday are low. […]
The Philadelphia 76ers suffered a disappointing defeat on Monday night to a San Antonio Spurs club that lost star Victor Wembanyama to a rib injury midway through the game. The loss moved Philadelphia out of a tie with Toronto and down into the seventh seed, which would mean an entry in the Play-In Tournament rather […]
Oral Hildebrand’s baseball story feels almost too perfect for its era. Disney could easily turn it into a coming-of-age summer classic. Born in Indianapolis in 1907, his journey to the Yankees did not begin under bright lights. It started in the kind of Midwestern setting that shaped so many ballplayers of his generation, where imagination […]
Rueben Bain Jr., EDGE, Miami In a shocking development, the Dallas Cowboys — that bloated, self-congratulatory circus run by Jerry Jones and his failson Stephen — managed to make a pick that actually makes sense. Not because they suddenly became smart. Not because they discovered some secret sauce. And definitely not because that organization has […]
It was an inning Joe Espada, Ryan Weiss, and (most surprisingly) Jeremy Pena would like to forget. All things considered, things were going about as well as could possibly be hoped for the Houston Astros through the first four innings of Monday’s game. They built a 3-0 lead through the first four innings thanks to […]
You know the story of the 2025 Cincinnati Reds. They found a way to keep their record just above the .500 mark, slipped into the playoffs as the final Wild Card in the National League, and were promptly bounced in two games by the future World Series champs. They got their on the backs of […]
When the Minnesota Wild acquired Filip Gustavsson from the Ottawa Senators in the July 2022 Cam Talbot trade, the move looked like a practical goaltending swap with some upside attached. A few seasons later, it’s fair to say the Wild did more than just land a promising young goalie. They found a net...
After a disappointing 3-2 Colorado Avalanche loss happened on Sunday in Denver against the Blues, the teams head east to complete the home-and-home in St. Louis. Colorado will once again have the opportunity to clinch the top seed in the West while St. Louis desperately needs a win to keep their playoff hopes alive. Colorado […]
