UPDATE: Beating the tanking Nets just got easier for the Lakers. Luka Dončić and Rui Hachimura were originally listed as questionable to play, but have now been upgraded to available. Luka will now get one game closer to the 65-game threshold he must reach to be eligible for the end-of-season awards. Hachimura has missed the […]
Leo Chenal has a golden opportunity with the Washington Commanders. The former Kansas City Chief signed a three-year contract with Washington during free agency for $8.2 million per year. The pay in itself indicates Washington’s belief in who Chenal can become in a defense that does not have Drue Tranquill and Nick Bolton playing ahead […]

I write a companion piece for The Crawfish Boxes called “In the lab.” The bent of the articles are similar. Essentially, I am a data nerd. Four of my five books relied heavily on complex statistics. I literally swim in data at work as well. Who the heck knows, maybe I am somewhere on the […]
The Philadelphia 76ers are coming off a loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, who predictably had their way with the injury-riddled Sixers in their last matchup. Now they’ll have a prime opportunity to bounce back against a team tumbling toward the bottom of the standings — the Chicago Bulls. The Bulls have had an #OnBrand […]
One of the more interesting takeaways from Detroit Lions general manager Brad Holmes’ appearance on the Lions Collective podcast was hearing him talk about free agent signing Larry Borom. Holmes was very high on the offensive tackle who served as the Dolphins’ backup tackle last year, but ended up starting 11 games for them at […]
After their much recent blowout loss, the Miami Heat are now sporting a season-worst five-game losing streak— immediately after a season-best seven-game win streak. This stretch of the Heat’s season has shown exactly what this team is; consistently inconsistent. Just a couple of weeks ago, Miami emerged to tie for the Eastern Conference’s fifth seed. […] The post GAME PREVIEW: Heat will attempt to avoid their sixth loss in a row as they face Cavs in Cleveland appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops ...
The next player in our series is Marcus Neal Jr., who had a breakout season in 2025 as a member of Iowa State’s secondary. Marcus Neal Jr. was a four-star recruit and the No. 33 overall safety in the 2024 class when he originally committed to Iowa State. He played in seven games as a […]
The lab is first and foremost a place where we get to learn more about baseball. As much as I would love to pass myself off as an expert in all things, that would be the height of hubris and would deprive all of us the opportunity to avail ourselves of genuine expertise. As most […]
Few things fill NFL fans with more hope than first round picks. It’s part of our nature as football fans to pull up our favorite team’s list of upcoming picks then selectively scour Football Reference to see which Hall of Famers were drafted somewhere near where our team picks. For us as Panthers fans, that’s […]
Another trip to the Sweet Sixteen for Brad Underwood and the Illini, and another tough, physical Big 12 2-seed awaiting them. Houston arrives to the Sweet Sixteen in similar dominating fashion as the Illini have, with 31-point victories over two double-digit seeds. A lot of the talk so far has been about how can Illinois […]
Meet the Mets The Mets will be wearing a memorial patch on their jerseys for Davey Johnson this season. The New York Transit Museum will be running a vintage 7 Line train to Mets-Willet Point Thursday morning in honor of Opening Day. Carson Benge had an excited (and colorful) reaction to being called up to […]
Sweet 16 is in the air in Houston. It’s with the Houston Cougars at Toyota Center. It’s with Jose Altuve stepping into the batter’s box on Opening Day as he embarks upon his 16th year. Many fans will recall his homer on Opening Day five years ago against the A’s. Of course, every organizational […]
Astros fans, the wait is finally over. The long offseason has come to an end, and with it arrives something that never goes out of style, hope. As Opening Day approaches, there’s a noticeable shift in the air. Months of dissecting roster flaws, questioning decisions, and wondering whether this team has done enough suddenly give […]
While it is certainly common for players to play for multiple franchises in their career, more often than not, they are generally associated with one team. In the case of today’s birthday boy, that association is not with the Yankees. Lee Mazzili played 14 seasons in the majors, less than one of which came with […]
Illinois will head to Houston on Thursday night for a matchup with the Houston Cougars at the Toyota Center. The Illini will travel more than 900 miles for the game, while Houston will be playing in its home city. This will be a rematch of the 2022 Round of 32, when the five-seeded Cougars defeated […]

Kansas Jayhawk News While the men’s team saw their season end on Sunday, the Lady Jayhawks are still alive in the WBIT: “Getting one more game is really important to us,” Kansas head coach Brandon Schneider said after the game. “We want to play well, we want to advance in this tournament and we want to represent […]
Needing a win to keep pace in the Atlantic playoff race, the Montreal Canadiens hosted the top team in the entire conference on Tuesday in the form of the Carolina Hurricanes. After a horrific start saw them down two goals in the first period, they went on to score five unanswered goals, securing two points that didn’t seem within the realm of possibility in the early goings. At the centre of their comeback win was Jakub Dobeš, who stonewalled the Hurricanes after their two early goals. ...

Meanwhile, Gudas does it again, but this time, he's feeling very guilty about what took place. "I really hate the...
