Welcome to the eighth post in our twelve-part series reviewing each team’s signing class to date. These articles aim to provide a snapshot look at each team and lay out possible next steps once the transfer portal opens. Teams will be examined in alphabetical order. Today will look at the Aztecs. The Road So Far: […]
The Minnesota Wild gave up a lot to get Quinn Hughes this season, including Marco Rossi, Zeev Buium, Liam Ohgren, and a 2026 first-round pick. The Wild, while staying competitive, need to replenish their roster with some younger talent as some of their veterans are the ones weighing their team down. The Wild appear to have one name in mind on the Philadelphia Flyers . According to Anthony DiMarco, "The Minnesota Wild have shown continued interest in trading for Bobby Brink." Brink has turned i...
The Los Angeles Rams have four players on the initial Pro Bowl roster, including Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, Jared Verse, and Byron Young. This is Stafford’s second trip to the Pro Bowl with the Rams, which is more than he had in 12 years with the Detroit Lions. It is Verse’s second Pro Bowl nod […]

Iowa State News ISU Wrestling continues to get better and better. After her 41-point game, Crooks earns another Player of the Week award. Hansen joins Rocco and others who have now hit the portal. Around the Country Soooo the Mavs may have gotten ‘the guy”. UCF has gone under-the-radar with their 11-1 start this season. […]
The Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings face off in a game that has disappointingly low stakes. But On Paper lives on. I’ve previewed more than my fair share of “meaningless” football games, and I’m not going to stop now, despite Detroit’s playoff odds nearing astronomical and the NFL trying to ruin the holiday season. That […]
The betting market has no idea what to do with the San Francisco 49ers this season. Last week, oddsmakers installed the Niners as 5.5-point favorites. By the time the game kicked off, the line was down to 3.5, indicating that people with money who move markets believed the Colts were the right team. The 49ers […]
Kalani Sitake announced Monday that Big 12 offensive player of the year LJ Martin will miss the Pop-Tarts bowl Saturday after recently undergoing shoulder surgery. Martin had surgery after injuring his shoulder in the Iowa State game; he played in BYU’s five games after that. Martin was one of the best running backs in college […]

The Cleveland Browns close out the home portion of the 2025 regular season on Sunday when they host the Pittsburgh Steelers. Most years, the home game against Pittsburgh is a highlight, as even in the worst of times, the Browns tend to play the Steelers tough at home, having won five of the last six […]

Second-round picks don’t spend two full seasons on the bench in today’s NFL. Players drafted that high are selected for a reason: to start, often immediately. And then there’s Blake Fisher. On a woeful offensive line, Fisher remained under lock and key, buried as the backup option. He’s been hidden, veiled as the proverbial break-glass […]
While the Lakers may have figured things out with Jarred Vanderbilt, that certainly hasn’t solved all the issues. The bench remains an area of weakness, particularly offensively, for LA. It’s also been a shortcoming that’s been exasperated by the team’s recent injuries. The team has a host of role players who can fill various roles, […]
Since we are in the holiday season and since the hot stove is likely set to simmer, I thought I would tell a tale as old as time itself. Track any major invention and there is always a sordid tale about someone else that invented something similar at the same time. Alexander Graham Bell invented […]
Stock Up Alec Pierce & Josh Downs The Colts’ young wide receivers carried most of the load on offense against the Niners, with Downs leading the team in catches and first downs, and Pierce having a rebound game after a quiet stretch posting over 85 yards and two touchdowns. I expected more from Tyler Warren […]
Atlético de Madrid on Wednesday confirmed out-of-favor left-back Javi Galán’s departure for Osasuna, ending the Extremaduran’s two-and-a-half year stint in the Spanish capital. Osasuna have agreed to pay a €500,000 transfer fee and — if the Navarrese club stays in LaLiga — an additional €500k for each season it remains in the top flight with […]

For Pride of Detroit, we are tasked with gauging Detroit Lions fans’ confidence in the team heading into each game. The Lions dropped back-to-back losses for the first time since 2022, and are […]
The Minnesota Wild have chosen to go for it for at least the next couple of years and are in the most competitive division (playoff teams) in the league. They are third in the NHL, but are also third in their own division behind the Colorado Avalanche and Dallas Stars . The Wild signed Kirill Kaprizov to a massive deal in the offseason and acquired Quinn Hughes from the Vancouver Canucks not too long ago. With a strong defensive group and two very good goalies, they are set to compete, but cou...
Whether you think QB Shedeur Sanders is nothing more than an overhyped product of his Hall of Fame father, Deion Sanders, or think he is the savior for the Cleveland Browns, everyone would agree that A) He’s struggled as a starter and B) his fans/followers are a bit over the top in their support. Sanders […]
In Patrick’s NFC North roundup, he mentioned a subplot from the Steelers-Lions game in which Pittsburgh receiver DK Metcalf took a swipe at a heckling fan . Refs didn’t catch it (even though CBS’ cameras did) in the moment, so there was no in-game punishment. Now that the NFL has reviewed the footae and discussed things with the Steelers wideout, discipline has been handed down.
What a plot twist:

Switch-hitting Alex Freeland made his way to the majors in 2025, which qualifies this as a successful season for the 23-year-old shortstop. Freeland was called up to the Dodgers on July 29, the club’s second draft pick from 2022 to reach the majors. Freeland, a third-round pick that year out of Central Florida, was preceded […]

A recurring theme on Twitter lately has been fans of other SEC schools discounting Vanderbilt basketball — currently undefeated and ranked 11th in the AP Poll, 8th in KenPom, and 6th in the NCAA’s NET rankings, higher than any other SEC team in all three — because of its nonconference schedule. This is one of […]
