EDITOR’S NOTE: A version of this article appeared here on the 42nd anniversary of this event, eight years ago. Since it’s now been exactly half a century since Mike Schmidt’s four-homer game at Wrigley Field, I thought you might like to read about that day again. Here’s a lightly edited version of the 2018 article. […]
Indiana men’s basketball is naturally going to be compared, contrasted and measured against fellow Big Ten programs, but carries the additional wrinkle of the same being true for Louisville and Kentucky given the region the program occupies.

Indiana Athetics has had a pretty busy week between even more transfer portal commitments for the men’s basketball program, the women’s basketball roster taking greater shape and spring practice carrying onward for the football program.

The NBA playoffs are finally upon us, and that means one thing: it’s time to place every team in arbitrary tiers made by yours truly. First, we need to reiterate one thing. In any given year, only a handful of teams have legitimate shots at the title, as history’s shown that teams need a player […]
I can remember the feeling very distinctly when Luther Burden III was picked 39th by the Chicago Bears. It was overwhelming confusion, followed by an urgency to understand. Poles has Odunze, Moore, and just picked Loveland — what is the vision here? I wouldn’t say I was disappointed, just deeply confused. T.J. Sanders, JT Tuimoloau, […]
The Phillies have plenty of early season problems, but perhaps one of the most concerning ones is the performance of Jesús Luzardo. Four starts into the season after signing a five year, $135M extension, Luzardo sports a 7.94 ERA in 22.2 innings. He’s allowed five or more runs in three of those starts, with the […]
There’s no real way to answer this, but give me your take anyway. I think this is kind of a funny situation. The Braves have the guys they think are the Good Relievers: Tyler Kinley, Dylan Lee, Robert Suarez, Raisel Iglesias. Maybe Aaron Bummer is in that group, maybe not, I’m not sure yet. But […]
In November last year, the Cowboys traded their 2026 second-round pick and a 2027 first-round pick for star defensive tackle Quinnen Williams.

After an 82-game grind that at various points felt like a thriller, a slog, a dark comedy, and a group therapy exercise for everyone invested in Minnesota basketball, the Timberwolves have arrived exactly where they finished a year ago: the Western Conference’s sixth seed.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones always seems focused on his legacy. Certainly, one part is the fact that the ‘Boys won three Super Bowls during the heyday of Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin, and Troy Aikman. But those titles were when? The final one was Super Bowl XXX, played on January 28, 1996, at the conclusion […]

Mike Malone has only had the job for a few days, but so far, he seems to be doing reasonably well. The smartest thing he’s done has been to hire experienced college personnel. Malone was by all accounts a superior NBA coach, but there are real differences between the two levels of the sport. He […]
What a horrible year for the Cleveland Browns in 2025 in respect to their receiver room. Ranked what? #32? Out of 32 teams? Goodness.

What would it take for the Packers to crush it in the draft this year? I think often it can be tempting to fixate on what might go wrong or how things could break against the Packers, but it’s equally valid, and maybe just as important, to think about scenarios where everything goes right. How […]

Earlier this week, the Yankees picked up a split in their series against the Angels, but it was a lot of work to get there. The two wins required ninth inning comebacks, while the two losses were both of the very dumb variety. With that over, the Yankees will remain home and welcome the Royals […]
