Jaylen Brown is headed to the Philadelphia 76ers in the biggest blockbuster trade of the offseason for a package that does not impress any Celtics fan right now.
Dan Quinn spoke to the media after today’s practice. The Washington Commanders will host the Detroit Lions on Sunday afternoon, and he named this week’s team captains and highlighted Jeremy Reaves representing special teams. Chris Rodriguez Jr is the captain for the offense and Daron Payne’s the defensive captain vs the Lions. Quinn confirmed the […]
1971Todd Ritchie, author of one of the worst seasons in White Sox history, was born in Portsmouth, Va. He came to the White Sox from Pittsburgh in a ballyhooed deal that saw three pitchers dealt away for a player in Ritchie — who was never destined for much more than middle-rotation innings-eater. And in 2002 […]
Earlier this week, the Miami Marlins announced their new General Manager, and it was a name very familiar to Phillies fans. Quick refresher: After the Ruben Amaro reign ended, the Phillies were determined to pivot hard in the other direction and become the most analytically based organization in baseball. To that end, before the 2018 […]
There’s just one game to break down this week, so it’s time for an extra-deep over-analysis of Northwestern’s 70-47 win over Mercyhurst to open their season. On the surface, this was an ugly one. NU shot just 37% from the field, 26% from three and missed 11 free throws. The only ‘Cats player who stood […]
The Colorado Rockies announced Friday morning that they have named long-time football and baseball executive Paul DePodesta as their new head of baseball operations. Effective immediately, DePodesta will take the title of president of baseball operations. “I have always kept my eye on baseball and this is an incredible opportunity to help make an impact […]
There were bits of Jays’ news yesterday that I missed. Not that it was news, but the Jays game Bo Bichette a Qualifying Offer. $22.025, which sounds like a lot of money. Bo will be looking for a contract for around ten years. That’s a longer contract than I’d want to give him, but if […]
Well, the days of fighting for that first win is officially over! Coming off a much needed 112-103 victory against the Pacers, led by a Michael Porter Jr. 32 point night in 35 minutes, the Nets were able to finally get a W after being the only team left without one. Again, we aren’t expecting […]
For the first time since the 2013/14 season, the Celtics are among the top five teams in long mid-range frequency in the NBA. In a nutshell, the last time this happened, it was Brad Stevens’ first season as head coach and the Celtics’ only season without a playoff appearance in the last 17 years. Will […]
The Chicago Bears put up a bunch of eye-opening numbers in their Week 9 win against the Cincinnati Bengals, but none stood out to me like one that was tied to quarterback Caleb Williams. 90.8: That is the overall grade Pro Football Focus gave Caleb Williams for his Week 9 performance in the Bears’ win gainst the Bengals. It is the highest single-game grade Williams has earned from PFF this season. Put a star on that one and hang it on the fridge, folks. The only number that is a...
Buccaneers News Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin might not return until late November or early December as he continues recovering from a fibula injury sustained five weeks ago. Godwin has missed three straight games since suffering the injury during the Week 5 victory over Seattle. The 29-year-old did not practice Thursday as the […]
The ‘Cats are back in action this weekend. But it’s no normal weekend for Northwestern football: it will be partaking in a Friday night special under the lights, heading on the road to take on the No. 19 USC Trojans out in Los Angeles. Sitting at 5-3 currently and still searching for a sixth win […]
It’s been three and a half seasons since the 2022 rookie class took the field and Texans fans have a good sense of who hit and who missed. Many of the woes the team is experiencing in the 2025 season are due to the mistakes of this class. Offensive line Conversely, the strength of the […]
A few hours before Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline, Jaguars general manager James Gladstone executed his sixth deal this year to acquire Jakobi Meyers. Jacksonville sent a 2026 fourth-rounder and a 2026 sixth-rounder to Las Vegas in the process. Meyers turns 29 on Sunday and is playing on an expiring contract; his value was probably worth […]
The TCU Horned Frogs suffered a stunning opening-night loss to the New Orleans Privateers, falling 78–74 after trailing by as many as 21 points. Nothing went right for Jamie Dixon’s squad, as the defeat dropped them behind a team ranked near the bottom of Division I. The win vaulted the Privateers from No. 296 to […]
Once again this week I interview a fellow SB Nation blogger over to our side of the internet to talk about an upcoming matchup. This time it’s Matt Tamanini from Land Grant Holy Land who covers, you guessed it, the Ohio State Buckeyes. He is the co-managing editor over there and was kind enough to […]
Packers News Watson’s Expanded Role Takes Shape as Packers Receiver Room Thins. Christian Watson appears on track to play Monday night when the Green Bay Packers host the Philadelphia Eagles, marking another step in his return from major knee surgery. The wide receiver caught six passes for 143 yards across his first two games back […]
The Los Angeles Rams will have an opportunity to avenge one of their most disappointing losses of the season when they take on the San Francisco 49ers in Week 10. While the Rams were 8.5-point favorites back in Week 5, they lost in overtime despite having multiple chances to win that game. Much like back […]
Mitchell Robinson is many things. He is the longest tenured Knick. He is a defensive force, capable of changing games and playoff series. He is an interesting character. He is the best offensive rebounder in the game. And he is quite possibly better than he’s ever been. Now, I get that he’s played just 49 […]
NFL Best Bets Tom Brady made headlines this week for cloning his dog. Of course he did. The man who defied aging for twenty-three seasons wasn’t about to let biology win now. He used a Dallas biotech firm to recreate his late pit-bull mix, Fluffy, which makes sense for someone who’s spent his life reverse-engineering […]
Game notes Setting the scene Friday night sets up a perfect showcase for perennial American Conference contenders. Memphis rattled off three-straight American Championship appearances from 2017-19, and Tulane currently rides its own three-game streak from 2022-24. As one expects when the conference releases the schedule each year, this matchup matters significantly to the league’s title […]

Maltepes is one of the nation’s hottest sports betting experts who appears weekly on national radio, is the best-selling author of “Booked: The True […]
As some of you may have noticed, I was not around last week, because I was taking a very lovely vacation in the beautiful country of Colombia. If you have not been, I cannot recommend it enough. I especially vouch for Medellín, which went from one of the most violent cities in the world a […]
After a chaotic several days with neither coach nor sporting director, Fiorentina’s now plugged those holes. Technical director Roberto Goretti has been promoted to fill the former position until the end of the season (and likely has the inside track if he performs well, although it’s anyone’s guess how ownership will judge “well”), and now […]
It’s been a challenging season for San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh. We saw the potential of what a healthy defense could look like in Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks when they held that offense to 13 points. Since then, no team has kept the Seahawks under 20 points. There have been four […]
The No. 24 Wisconsin Badgers aim to secure their second win this week as the Northern Illinois Huskies visit the Kohl Center on Friday, November 7th. Tip-off is at 7:30 p.m. on the Big Ten Network, and the Badgers are 27.5-point favorites.. In Wisconsin’s season-opener on Monday, the Badgers pulled away from Campbell in the […]
