Beer goggles: The future is bright and blurry in Brew City

“I can’t believe this just happened!” You either said it or you heard it, on a day you never thought would come—when the Bucks traded away a player we got to watch grow up, a player who became a multi-time All-Star and fixture in the community, and who helped Milwaukee raise its first championship banner […]

Dereck Lively gives ‘gone fishing’ a new meaning

The Dallas Mavericks have been without the services of Dereck Lively since very early last season, but that hasn’t stopped him from making his presence known. Lively has made his fair share of team-related social media appearances and even stopped by Summer League in July, showing he is still very much in the mix with […]

Mr. Romano or: How I learned to stop worrying and love the closer

My introduction to baseball fandom was through an invite to an Out of the Park Baseball sim-league run by some of my father’s friends when I was in high school.

NBA Fans Grow Curious About Jalen Brunson’s $113M Knicks Sacrifice After NBA Drops Hammer on Kawhi Leonard, Clippers

More than a year ago, Pablo Torre made a series of revelations that shook the NBA world. But he teased the LA Clippers weren’t the only team guilty of cap circumvention. The fallout from the NBA’s historic sanctions against the Clippers now extends beyond Southern California. NBA fans are questioning which other team could’ve operated […] The post NBA Fans Grow Curious About Jalen Brunson’s $113M Knicks Sacrifice After NBA Drops Hammer on Kawhi Leonard, Clippers appeared first on Essentially...

“Really Not Helping Anyone”: Dodgers’ Manager Drops Bold Take On Shohei Ohtani’s Injury Concerns After Yet Another Loss to Cardinals

Shohei Ohtani’s recent struggles have now forced the Los Angeles Dodgers to question whether allowing him to play through his physical issues is really helping the team.

Hey, remember Joe Smith? The Clippers certainly do…

In the early 2000s, the Minnesota Timberwolves committed one of the biggest scandals in NBA contract history. The confusion first started when forward Joe Smith, a former first overall pick, signed a small deal with the Timberwolves. Now, players taking pay cuts is nothing new, and certainly not illegal by any means. However, then General […]

Vanderbilt Football 2026 Position Preview: Cornerbacks

One of the most belabored groups on Vanderbilt’s defense last season, and for the last few seasons, was the cornerbacks. Mark Davis (Achilles) and Marlon Jones (cancer) both transferred to Vanderbilt before 2024 but missed the entire season. Neither found their way back to expected form in 2025. Kolbey Taylor went from a Vanderbilt villain […]

St. Louis Cardinals Minor League Update: Rookie Leagues

Yes, it’s that time. Last week saw the end of the Dominican Summer League season. In fact the Cardinals’ affiliate ended earlier than that, because they did not make the playoffs. The Florida Complex League ended well before that: though unofficial games have been played since then, games with actual recorded stats I can find […]

White Sox Minor Keys: Sept. 2, 2026

It didn’t take long — especially when watching Birmingham’s box scores — to see that something had changed with the run-scoring environment in Minor League Baseball in 2026. As the season winds down, Baseball America’s J.J. Cooper put it all in context, and came away calling it “the greatest offensive explosion the minors have seen… The post White Sox Minor Keys: Sept. 2, 2026 appeared first on Sox Machine .

Outgoing fullback aims jab at Moyes after Everton exit

Despite both being fellow Scots, it seemed Nathan Patterson could just not do anything right by manager David Moyes. Since Moyes came back to the Toffees in January 2025, Patterson only made 13 appearances for the Toffees, of which only three were starts. However, the proverbial straw that broke the camel’s back for many in […]

Ranking the Suns’ depth pieces entering the season

We begin ranking the individual tiers within SunsRank today with the depth pieces. I’ll start by acknowledging that this isn’t a perfect science, and it certainly isn’t a perfect polling system. There will be players you voted for in a different tier. That’s fine. I’m going off the majority of the voting for each individual […]

Without A’ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum, here’s how Team USA must change their identity to win a fifth-straight World Cup

When the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup tips off on Sept. 4, USA Basketball will begin chasing a 12th world title and fifth-straight gold medal. However, the roster that has landed in Berlin looks noticeably different than the one that squeaked past France for Olympic gold two summers ago.  A’ja Wilson and Kelsey Plum are […]
