The next head coach of the Edmonton Oilers will have early-season success regardless of who it is. The next Oilers head coach will be set up for success for four simple reasons. He will have a good roster led by Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and Evan Bouchard. The Oilers will have some question marks on…
We’d probably all like to forget the Yankees’ soul-crushing loss on Sunday against the Mets. That being said, there were several moments that can be remembered in a positive light, including Anthony Volpe’s first hit of the 2026 campaign — a two-out double off Freddy Peralta in the second inning. Volpe arguably had a pair […]
ICYMI: Buster Olney spoke with the folks at 680 The Fan’s Cellini & Dimino on a variety of Braves-related topics yesterday, but none were more buzzy than the following: should the Braves trade for Byron Buxton? It’s been discussed a lot over the years. A two-time All-Star and Georgia native who’d be a great cultural […]
Barcelona midfielder Gavi has taken aim at Real Madrid after celebrating another La Liga title win for Hansi Flick’s side. The Catalan giants successfully defended their league title this season, clinching top spot with a 2-0 win over Los Blancos in El Clasico. Gavi says he loved winning the title in the famous fixture and […]
Quentin Grimes’ audition with the Sixers for the 2025 free-agency class couldn’t have gone much better. He averaged 21.9 points in 28 games on 46.9/37.3/75.2% shooting splits. He also bore no responsibility for the team’s record over that time as they began to pile the roster with G-Leaguers and journeymen from overseas in a tanking […]
Strength of schedule can be misleading. I think that like many of you, upon seeing the Colts’ schedule ranked as the 4th easiest on release night, I was in full on “huh?” mode. That strength of schedule (SOS) was based on team records from last year. I saw a newer release, based the projected over/under […]
It started as a routine play when Arsenal's Piero Hincapié was fighting for the ball and ended in a wardrobe malfunction that delighted soccer fans.
Second up on our draft board is Swedish phenom Ivar Stenberg, a winger who has put up near-historic numbers in the Swedish Hockey League. Stenberg’s stock has risen considerably in the past year, and he’s squarely in the top tier of the draft and certainly a contender to go No. 1. It’s been pretty neck and neck with McKenna throughout the draft year, and the public consensus is that there is not much separating the two players at this stage. Chase Reid may also be a quiet contender ...
College sports eligibility is murkier than ever. Former G-League players and international stars, sometimes two or three years older than typical seniors, have made their way into college basketball lately. On Tuesday, one of the sport’s most recent standouts and a one-time St. John’s fan favorite is hoping to come back for one last season, […]
With OTAs beginning for the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team is on the field as a whole for the first time in the Mike McCarthy era. While all the attention has been on the quarterback position, specifically Aaron Rodgers returning for a 22nd season, the Steelers’ offensive line has several new faces – most notably, first-round […]
There will be a new plaque delivered to Seattle Seahawks superstar and Offensive Player of the Year winner Jaxon Smith-Njigba. As shared on Monday, JSN’s NFL Honors award for OPOY had a bit of a problem. It looks like he’s won Defensive Player of the Year, which would’ve been amazing in an alternate universe. The […]
Kevin Durant’s situation with the Rockets appears increasingly unstable, potentially reopening the door for a Warriors reunion.
When Nathan MacKinnon and Team Canada lost the gold-medal game against the United States, many Canadians viewed the silver medal as a failure. Nathan MacKinnon was likely one of those Canadians, as he stated in the build-up to the first NHL-Involved Winter Olympics since 2014, “We’ve talked to some other athletes, but to be honest, […]
Hartford Yard Goats outfielder Benny Montgomery may be just 23-years-old, but he’s already entering his sixth season in the Rockies system. Selected eighth overall in the 2021 draft out of Red Land High School in Pennsylvania, the 6’5” Montgomery hit the ground running. He made a strong first impression by hitting .340/.404/.383 in 14 games […]
Los Angeles Rams rookie quarterback Ty Simpson will rarely see the field in 2026, but he should still get more playing time than we anticipate. This is not to say that Simpson should be the primary starter if Matthew Stafford suffers a significant injury or is otherwise unavailable. TST’s JB Scott went more in-depth on […]
The WNBA’s 2026 rookie class is off to a strong start, and it isn’t just the big names. From some of the top picks in the 2026 Draft to international stars getting their first chance in the WNBA, this year’s crop of rookies is already making an impact, whether it’s filling in for injured veterans […]
The ABS Challenge System had indirect impacts beyond the challenges. As you know, this season the ABS challenge system arrived in the Majors. What you may or may not know is that the initial ball-strike calls had a higher accuracy this season. Let’s focus more specifically, on the overall accuracy of umpires calling pitches just […]
Newcastle United owners, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, are exploring the possibility of selling a minority stake in the club to help finance major infrastructure projects, including the revamped St James’ Park or an outright new stadium. “Newcastle United’s owners are open to selling a minority stake in the club in order to help fund […]
The Mariners haven’t been very much fun to watch this year. Sure, the run differential is positive. The fun differential, though? Stinky. Trash. Probably sitting about where the 19-30 Houston Astros run differential is, near the bottom of the league (the sentence is clunky, but please allow me this opportunity to bully the Astros). Most […]
Now that the Vancouver Canucks have a new general manager in place in Ryan Johnson, and new presidents of hockey operations in the Sedins, it was time to deal with the head coaching situation. And the front office trio has decided that Adam Foote is not the man to lead them forward. Insider Darren Dreger reports that Foote will not return. The Vancouver Canucks continue to make changes. Sources say Adam Foote has been let go as Head Coach. Other changes to the coaching staff also being m...
The Pistons need Jalen Duren to take inspiration from Jarrett Allen.
The Wisconsin Badgers saw their season come to an end in the Austin Regional on Saturday, as they lost back-to-back games against the No. 1 Texas Longhorns and the Baylor Bears to bow out of the bracket.
