It seems like only yesterday when the Dodgers won the World Series by winning the final two games on the road at Rogers Centre in Toronto, including coming back from down two runs in the eighth inning in Game 7, setting of a string of improbable highlights that beat the Blue Jays and brought a […]
The Portland Trail Blazers take on one of their toughest remaining opponents tonight, traveling to Ball Arena to take on Nikola Jokic and the burgeoning Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets Report The Nuggets are very, very, very good at basketball. It is bad writing practice to use the word “very” as an amplifier, much less use […]
As the 2026 NFL Draft approaches, fans and analysts will be firing up their mock draft machines in hopes of creating a perfect first round; however, ESPN writer Bill Barnwell has taken a different approach. In his latest mock draft, he instituted an all-trade policy where every pick must be moved. While for some teams, […]
It might physically kill a top-100 player to run agility drills this year. I’ve been running a Green Bay Packers thresholds big board for the past several years here at Acme Packing Company, an endeavor that grows increasingly futile each and every subsequent year as fewer players in the rounds that matter actually complete testing.

VEB is adding some serious firepower to its lineup. Starting today, we are thrilled to announce that the Redbird Rundown Podcast and its full network of shows are officially joining the Viva El Birdos family! Scott, Matt, and Jonathan will be bringing their talents to SB Nation and VEB, bringing a plethora of even more […]
Good Monday morning, Caps fans. I hope you’re having a good start to your week and enjoying the spring-like weather we finally have. It was a wild ride on Saturday night but, somehow, someway the Caps pulled out a 3-2 win over Portland. And boy, is there a lot to unpack here. The Timbers looked a bit better than they did in the return fixture, … Source
A program record crowd. A historic 300th career goal. A sixth straight win over an opponent that never really threatened. On paper, Saturday was a dream for No. 6 Northwestern. The 11-5 final against USC looked clean. The 5,805 fans at Lacrosse Day in Chicago went home happy. But if you watched closely, you saw […]
It’s NFL Draft Season! Before you read, some important context… I’ve ranked these players based on the Eagles’ needs and scheme fit. So while I may rate player ‘X’ higher than player ‘Y’ on pure talent, ‘Y’ could rank higher here due to fit or need. Focus more on tiers than exact order. Players in […]
The Syracuse Orange officially have their first new player who will be joining the program, and it’s an addition who is coming from across the Atlantic Ocean. Mark Morano Mahmutovič, a six-foot-seven wing known for his outside shooting and scoring pop, is committing to the Orange. Jonathan Givony of Draft Express was the first to […]
Last week, I asked you to predict who would lead the Tennessee Titans in receiving yards in 2026: Wan’Dale Robinson is the pretty heavy favorite there. It makes sense given the success Robinson had the last couple of years in Brian Daboll’s offense. He will have a leg up on the rest of the guys […]
Time is linear: At least, in terms of human perception. Little else is. An NBA career is certainly not always linear. There’s a tendency to falsely assume it will be. A rookie is bad on league-wide standards, and we accept it. They improve incrementally until year three, when they’re officially good, and then continue to […]
Oregon’s best Big Ten offensive showing still wasn’t enough on Saturday, as the Ducks fell 21-9 to No. 10 Johns Hopkins at Papé Field. Gabby Santucci led the way with four goals and five points, matching her season high in goals and setting a new conference-play high in points. Lilly Fortin added two goals, and […]
One of the best defensive players in the NFL over the past couple of seasons has requested a trade. Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Dexter Lawrence wants out of New York. Lawrence has two seasons left on his contract with the Giants, with cap numbers of $26.9 and $28.9 million in each of the next two […]
A breakdown of FC Dallas’ win vs DC, including tactical adjustments, key performances, and what it means for the 2026 MLS season.
The redshirt-freshman center follows both Acaden Lewis and Bryce Lindsay into the transfer portal, leaving only Nico Onyekwere, Chris Jeffrey, Tyler Perkins, Matt Hodge, Malachi Palmer and Malcolm Flaggs from this year’s roster. The 7’ center played consistently but sparingly in his first and (likely) only year on the Main Line. Look for Pierce to […]
In 2026, I am determined to pay more attention. The White Sox are a team full of exciting young guys who should be coming into their own. A club that signed a noteworthy slugger from Japan in the offseason. A team where Will Venable finally has the coaching staff he wants. By all means, this […]

It has been a quiet two weeks for Ohio State women’s basketball after the Buckeye fell to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament. In those weeks, hundreds of players expressed their intent to enter the portal when it opened on Monday, but none on the 11-player Ohio State […]
Defender Sam Angel has been loaned to expansion team Boston Legacy through July 30, the Chicago Stars announced today. Originally drafted by Racing Louisville in 2024, her debut in the NWSL only happened more than a year later, on August 31, 2025, with Chicago, after joining the club in June. Angel has more experience playing […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates are coming off a series sweep of the Baltimore Orioles and their fifth straight win. The team is looking complete and firing on all cylinders, but it’s the starting rotation that has shown a different kind of dominance to start the season. While it was well known that the Pirates’ group of […]

As the 2026 NFL Draft approaches, the Miami Hurricanes football team is sending one of the strongest groups of prospects to the next level. We haven’t seen a batch of players from Miami like this in quite a while, and we can hear a few names being called as early as round one. From potential […]

Few players were as impactful for their team as Zuby Ejiofor was this season, so it came as no surprise that he was named the winner of the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame’s Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award on Saturday. The Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award is awarded to the country’s best center at the end of every season. […]
