With pick No. 40 in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Kansas City Chiefs targeted a defensive end, the team’s biggest position of need, by selecting among a group of worthy edge defenders. Being familiar with what a Chiefs’ edge defender has looked like most of the last seven seasons, the high-90s […]
Four weeks into the season, the Yankees are riding high with the best record in the American League. Despite several key starters beginning the year on the IL, their rotation has been excellent and, even with a weeklong swoon, New York’s offense has scored the fourth-most runs in the league. The biggest area of concern […]
The Bills selected two players on day two of the 2026 NFL Draft. Both picks ended up being in the second round with the picks of Clemson edge rusher T.J. Parker and Ohio State cornerback Davison Igbinosun. Plenty more players of fair value remain on the board, and the Bills will be able to get […]
Let’s dive more into the Seattle Sounders from someone who follows them closely.
Numbers don’t lie. They are never any shade of gray, and always either white or black. Nothing in between. Numbers tell the complete story and are never doused with sweeteners, which means no sugar coating. All of this brings us to the Cleveland Browns receiver room from last year. Ranked #32. Out of 32 teams. […]
The New England Patriots acquired two new players on day two of the 2026 NFL Draft on Friday night, selecting Illinois edge Gabe Jacas and Notre Dame tight end Eli Raridon. New England traded up to No. 55 — sending picks No. 63, No. 131 and No. 202 — to draft Jacas before adding Raridon […]
With no first-round pick, Chris Ballard had to focus in and nail his selections. The Indianapolis Colts faded down the stretch and much of the blame falls on the shoulders of an older, slower defense. The idea was to become younger and faster through the draft. When you draft rookies and move on from players […]
Tasked with some tough decisions last offseason, the Kansas City Chiefs prioritized guard Trey Smith and traded away veteran offensive lineman Joe Thuney to the Chicago Bears for a future pick, as they looked to shed salary. Thuney was looking for an extension, and the Chiefs had quite a few that they’d recently handed out […]
We have finally reached our destination this spring, as the Notre Dame Fighting Irish Football team hosts its loyal fans for the annual Blue-Gold Game. It should be a gorgeous day for spring football, with today’s forecast in South Bend being sunny and around 65 degrees come kickoff. Notre Dame will play this game as […]
Dodgers broadcaster Rick Monday will be honored at the National Baseball Hall of Fame this summer during induction weekend, part of the 50th anniversary celebration of him stopping an American flag from getting burned on the field at Dodger Stadium on April 25, 1976. It’s been quite a baseball life for Monday, who was the […]
The Carolina Panthers left the second day of the 2026 NFL Draft with a mammoth of a defensive tackle/3-4 defensive end in Lee Hunter and a blazing fast wide receiver in Chris Brazzell. They also, to read the comments section, executed a questionable trade and then reached a bit for their third round selection. Let’s […]
A lot depends on if the data exists in the first place. Then they have to know what it means.
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
Today’s Reflections I’m willing to do all I can to make things right! I closely read the stories from my usual group of writers. Nothing about the big story of the weekend, if not the week. I even read the national writers, thinking that someone may need one more story for the day. Nada. So […]
The Detroit Lions finally got themselves an edge defender, but the jury is still out on whether the team capitalized on their second-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Michigan’s Derrick Moore is considered a well-rounded player, but maybe one without a clear calling card. His pass-rushing production was ridiculous in 2025, but his technique […]
For nearly a month, the Rockies tried something you don’t see very often: They carried one left-handed reliever. If you’ve followed bullpens for a while, that probably jumped out to you the same way it did to me. You get used to seeing two, three, sometimes four lefties when you scan a roster. Different looks, different roles, different ways to navigate a lineup. That’s just how it’s always been. […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants are wrapping up another week of games this weekend, so it’s time to see everyone’s picks for Player of the Week! I think my pick for this week has to be Landen Roupp. Roupp is quietly having a very good start to the season, and the team […]
The Jaelan Phillips trade is closed. The Miami Dolphins used the Eagles' selection in round three on Friday night, and it wasn't used to help replace him.
To say this has been a surprising start to the Kansas City Chiefs’ 2026 NFL Draft would be putting it lightly. While not what some of us expected, at least it wasn’t boring. We got to see the Chiefs move up to No. 6 overall and select cornerback Mansoor Delane from LSU. We also got […]
The Chicago Bears have had a very surprising draft thus far. On Thursday, they had a player fall into their lap at 25, and we all rejoiced! But then yesterday, they seemed to reach for three players ahead of the consensus, none of whom played defense. A center, tight end, and wide receiver seemed more […]
The second day of the 2026 NFL Draft represented the first real action for the Buffalo Bills in the annual selection process. After trading down three separate times to eventually land out of Round 1 to stop at pick three overall in Round 2, the Bills sent Shane Conlan with a card to the podium. […]
Newcastle United travel to the Emirates Stadium on April 25 for Premier League MD34 against Arsenal, with both teams trending in the same direction but on opposite sides of the table. Eddie Howe’s side enters the match following a 2-1 home defeat to Bournemouth, extending their losing run to four matches in all competitions and […]
Day 2 of the NFL Draft is officially over, and New Orleans Saints have selected Christen Miller, DT University of Georgia, and Oscar Delp, TE University of Georgia. Let’s dive right into some of the immediate reactions: That’s all for today, we will be back tomorrow with reactions from the Saints selections on the third and final day of […]
It’s now Saturday, and that means we are making our preparations for the final day of the 2026 NFL Draft. Yes, with as long as it takes for it to arrive, it comes and goes very quickly, and the last four rounds of this year’s selection meeting will take place on this Saturday morning and […]
After trading back, the Colts landed one of the cleaner linebacker fits in the draft with CJ Allen at pick No. 53. He is expected to step into Lou Anarumo’s defense next to Akeem Davis-Gaither and compete to replace the role Zaire Franklin held in the middle of the defense. Allen brings leadership, range, and […]
