The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Kaden Wetjen earlier than most expected, including himself. But coming into the draft with a major need for a return man, the Steelers didn’t let Wetjen pass them up in the fourth round. So far in training camp, special teams coordinator Danny Crossman has been impressed by Wetjen. “A lot of […]

It’s all coming full circle for the Washington Wizards. John Wall, the franchise’s No. 1 overall pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, will represent the Wizards at Sunday’s NBA Draft Lottery. The 35-year-old retired in August after a decorated career that included nine seasons as Washington’s star point guard. Wall departed the Wizards as the […]
Washington State University plays a critical role in the state's economy.
The Minnesota Vikings have lost another piece of their history, as one of the best tight ends in team history has left us. The Vikings have announced the passing of tight end Joe Senser at the age of 69. Senser was a sixth-round pick of the Vikings in the 1979 NFL Draft from West Chester […]
Early this morning, Spotrac reported that the Chicago Bears restructured the contract of center Garrett Bradbury, converting $1M in incentives into guaranteed salary, meaning he’s now due $4.7M in 2026, with $3.7M guaranteed. His previous 2026 cap hit was $5.7M. I’m not exactly sure how the numbers work, but I was told by someone who does know […]
They predicted a firm Los Angeles Lakers loss to the Houston Rockets in the First Round of this year’s NBA playoffs. Without two of their three best players (Austin Reaves, out with an oblique injury and Luka Doncic, out with a hamstring strain), they had no chance against the talented young Rockets, most media members […]
The Jays don’t play today, so I figured we’d do the open thread today. There isn’t all that much for Jays news, as we wait to hear who leaves to make room for Addison Barger. It will be interesting, I’m not sure who I’d pick. Since Barger is a left-handed batter, a lefty batter would […]
Back about a week ago, Duke University announced that their men’s basketball team was 1) scheduling three non-conference games against UConn, Michigan, and Gonzaga and 2) arranging for those three games to be broadcast in a unique deal through Amazon Prime Video. At the time, my instant reaction was two-fold, neither of which really warranted […]
BOSTON — For 82 games, the Celtics’ depth — particularly at the wing position — was one of its biggest strengths. “We just have 15, 16 guys that can impact winning,” Joe Mazzulla said before the playoffs. “At any point in time, people can help us win.” When Mazzulla made that comment, it resonated. We’d […]
On Wednesday, The Athletic released its annual anonymous poll of NBA players, who are asked to vote on various league superlatives. Adding salt to the wound of the Rockets’ underwhelming 2025-26 season — which ended in a second consecutive first-round exit from the playoffs — Alperen Sengun topped the “most overrated” list with 12.3% of […] The post ‘Most overrated?’ After playoff exit, Rockets’ young core is in question appeared first on ClutchFans .
Look, I don’t want to make the entire offseason about Mike Tanier, and I also don’t want to just spend all my time criticizing the Chicago Bears, who I really and truly believe are now extremely competently run, well-coached, and true contenders. HOWEVER. There were a bunch of factual errors in Mike’s last big thing […]
Very recently, I wrote an article here talking about the opportunity presented to the Yankees in 2026, competing for the top spot in an American League that lacked standout clubs. Some of their potential biggest adversaries were dealing with more than their fair share of issues in the Blue Jays and Mariners. Since then, the […]
Allow me to get my recantation out of the way forthwith. Then we can move on. Mingling in the Commentariat, as I always do, I have joined recent exuberance in the threads as Coach Pat Kelsey has been piecing together next campaign’s fascinating roster. As obsessives are wont to do, there has been much conjecture […]
The Kansas City Chiefs’ running back room got a complete overhaul this offseason, saying goodbye to Isiah Pacheco and Kareem Hunt to welcome in free-agent signings Kenneth Walker III and Emari Demercado, along with fifth-round pick Emmett Johnson. The only incumbent from the 2025 season is Brashard Smith, who was drafted in the seventh round […]
The Miami Hurricanes and Notre Dame Fighting Irish were can’t-miss television last year. And with the drama that went down last college football season and the way both teams’ respective seasons ended, it will be again when the teams meet in 2026. As such, it’s no surprise that the Hurricanes and Irish will meet in […]
The Penguins announced a pair of contract extensions on Thursday. Connor Dewar and Ilya Solovyov are impending free agents no longer with the news both have signed with Pittsburgh. From the team: The Pittsburgh Penguins have signed forward Connor Dewar and defenseman Ilya Solovyov to contract extensions, it was announced today by President of Hockey […]
The San Francisco 49ers are well-equipped with cap space, holding over $70 million currently, according to OverTheCap, easily the most of any team in the NFL. That’s a good sign because the 49ers can now be players in the final wave of free agency, with teams no longer being penalized by the compensatory formula for […]
Ohio State baseball is coming off one of their most memorable series wins in recent memory, taking three games from Nebraska last week, marking their first series win over the Cornhuskers since 2018. The sweep of 16th-ranked Nebraska was the fifth sweep of the season for the Buckeyes, and the third of a Big Ten […]
There are a lot of interesting storylines in the Las Vegas Raiders’ 2026 undrafted free-agent rookie class. Yet, one of the coolest is a reunion after five years between two new key Raiders’ veteran linebackers and a undrafted rookie play the position. Some may not realize it, by rookie signing Xavien Sorey has Raiders’ ties. […]
Perhaps the most intriguing Edmonton Oilers prospect lifted his team to the Gagarin Cup Final with a critical goal on Wednesday. Maxim Berezkin (Beryozkin) scored in Game 7 double overtime for a 4-3 victory, sending his Lokomotiv Yaroslavl team on to the KHL championship series. They eliminated Avangard Omsk after beginning the semifinal by digging…
Last week, the Minnesota Vikings hosted former San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings for a free agent visit that lasted a couple of days and appeared to be a good fit for both parties involved. Jennings left Minnesota without a deal, and everything has been fairly quiet since then. There may be a reason […]
The Los Angeles Lakers are already down in their series against the Oklahoma City Thunder and face a big Luka Doncic decision.
Ted Turner left an impact on the city of Atlanta that will forever be remembered through the Atlanta Hawks organization.
Ho hum, anyone see anything interesting on Wednesday night? With all due respect to the 2016 Cubs, this team is becoming the most “must watch” Cub team of my lifetime. That ‘16 team was a rampaging juggernaut. But that was like sitting down and watching Michelangelo bang out a work of art. You expected them […]
Worcester: L, 7-9 (F/10) (BOX SCORE) The biggest story out of this topsy-turvy game was that Justin Slaten, a couple days removed from his opener in Portland, made another rehab start and struck out two, including Oswaldo Cabrera, while allowing a hit and walking a batter in his inning of work. He also retired Anthony […]
