SEC Football Preview and Predictions for the 2026 Season

Is the SEC the nation's deepest conference? Absolutely, it should be once again. But is it the best? Well, anyone who says that would have a hard time backing it up.

Knee-jerk Takeaways From Reading’s April/May

Here it is then, the end of the season. Lots of things have happened over the last few months: management changes, a playoff charge, injuries, player recruitment, more injuries and even more off the pitch. In earlier editions of this monthly summary, I always said February/March would give us the real indicator of whether we […]

Opposition research: Jeff McNeil

Throughout baseball history, there have been players who can’t seem to decide if they are stars or not. They will turn in or two seasons that make it seem like they’re stars but also have seasons in which they look far more like good, but not great players. (Ask an older Yankees fan about Roberto […]

Roster Build: One Month In, How’s It Going?

That […]

The University of Kentucky is evaluating multiple organizational structures for its next athletic director as the school prepares for a major leadership transition following Mitch Barnhart’s planned retirement in June. Two months ago, it was announced that Barnhart would step down, prompting Kentucky to begin a national search. Since then, UK President Eli Capilouto has […]

Pep Guardiola Admits Arsenal Have Upper Hand in Premier League Title Race

You knew the Premier League title race was going to have another major plot twist or two. The first one came last night, as Manchester City blew a 1-0 second half lead at Everton, to fall behind 3-1. They salvaged a point, in the closing seconds, on Jeremy Doku’s equalizer, which made the end result […] The post Pep Guardiola Admits Arsenal Have Upper Hand in Premier League Title Race appeared first on The Sports Bank .

Chargers projected to receive 3rd-round comp pick in 2027

Ever since Joe Hortiz stepped foot in the The Bolt as the Chargers’ new general manager, he has spouted about his love for getting the compensatory pick formula rolling as soon as possible. In each of his first three offseasons, that has largely been shown. This offseason specifically, the Chargers had several players go sign […]

Tuesday Bantering: Lauer, Piñango

Does it give you comfort to know that the Jays have the exact record they had last year at this time? No, me neither. If it is going to be like last year, now is the time to turn it around. In May last year they were 16-12. Eric Lauer wasn’t throwing as hard as […]

Eagles Enemy Draft Analysis: Dallas Cowboys

The Dallas Cowboys once again proved to be reliable trade partners with the Eagles. Back in 2021, a first-round trade between the two rivals delivered Micah Parsons to Dallas and DeVonta Smith to Philly. I think both teams are hoping this one will be similarly fortuitous. Here’s how the entire Dallas draft went. Caleb Downs, […]

Flyers’ Denver Barkey showed potential in first game at center

Monday night saw the Flyers’ series against the Hurricanes shift to Game 2, and as they looked to find quite a bit more in the way of jump and production alike to bounce back from a difficult showing in their first time out, the Flyers made a notable shakeup to their lineup — beyond the addition of Carl Grundstrom and Emil Andrae from the sidelines into depth roles — within their middle-6.  As part of their line shuffling late in Game 1, looking for a mix with a bit more spark, the F...

SEC Softball Tournament Preview

The SEC Softball Tournament gets underway today and the field is absolutely loaded. Six of the top 10 RPI teams in the country belong to the SEC. Even crazier, Ole Miss finished with a 6-18 conference record, landing the 13 seed in the tournament, but has the #22 RPI in the country. I don’t want […]

What We Learned from the Spurs Game 1 loss to the Wolves

I’ve woken up under the weather. My mouth is dry. I’m either hot or cold, I can’t decide. I desperately want to distract myself from whatever it is I’m feeling right now, but I know, deep in my bones, that nothing good is going to come from looking at my phone. I need a coffee. […]

Men’s Golf Finishes Tied for 12th at Big Ten Championships

The Ducks struggled to climb the leaderboard at Pumpkin Ridge, but Aiden Krafft closed with a strong final round to lead Oregon individually. The Oregon men’s golf team entered the Big Ten Championships looking to extend one of the program’s most consistent postseason runs, but the Ducks were unable to generate enough momentum over three […]

Knicks 137, 76ers 98: “Really surreal”

Getting it right starts with getting it wrong. It’s true in math, mental health and Madison Square Garden, where last night the New York Knicks took a 1-0 series lead over Philadelphia with a 137-98 shellacking of the 76ers. Through all the fits and false starts of this season, there were glimpses. Early on the […]
