Tyler Warren: All Pro Fullback?

When the Commissioner Roger Goodell announced the Colts drafting Tyler Warren 15th overall in the 2025 draft, he did so with the usual customary addition of “insert position, insert university” that he does with all picks. The words “Tyler Warren, Tight End, Penn State” caused a thunderous roar of approval from both Colts fans watching […]

Cubs walkoff heroes: Rick Wilkins, Aug. 30, 1993

The 1993 Cubs were a maddening team. (Not “Maddon” ing, incidentally.) In their second year under manager Jim Lefebvre, they had hoped to make a jump into contention, but struggled around .500 most of the year. One of the bright spots on the team was catcher Rick Wilkins, who had been a part-time backstop for […]

Sixers practice notebook: Barlow returns; PG out vs. Pistons

Well, it appears one reinforcement is on the way. No, Paul George will not make his season debut in Detroit Friday and Joel Embiid’s status is murky at best, but it looks like there’s a chance two-way forward Dominick Barlow could return to the lineup. The 22-year-old’s elbow laceration has healed enough to the point […]

South Bay Lakers to acquire Kobe Bufkin

Los Angeles will be taking another flyer on a former first round pick. As first reported by Dave McMenamin of ESPN, the South Bay Lakers plan to acquire Kobe Bufkin. He was selected with the No. 15 pick by Atlanta in the 2023 draft and averaged 5.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.7 assists last year […]

Lukas Van Ness returns to practice for Packers

The injury news continues to be positive for the Green Bay Packers this week. On Wednesday, seven players who were listed on the team’s injury report leading up to the Philadelphia Eagles game did not appear on the Packers’ initial injury report of Week 11 at all. Now, defensive end Lukas Van Ness (foot) has […]

The Anthony Davis and Chicago Bulls Chatter Keeps Growing Louder

The Anthony Davis snowball started rolling down the hill this week, and it’s finally become too big to ignore. With the Dallas Mavericks finally moving on from general manager Nico Harrison , the Dallas Mavericks’ future has become a hot topic around the league. Many are staring at their win-now roster, wondering how ownership or a new front office management will choose to proceed. Is the plan to continue to build upon Harrison’s shaky post-Luka Doncic plan that centered around Davis and...

Rutgers Hangs On To Defeat Rhode Island 68-63 In Recess Game

Rutgers women’s basketball took on the Rhode Island Rams in the program’s annual Recess Game, with schoolchildren from around the area filling the student section and all across the arena. The young students provided just as much, if not even more, enthusiasm as the Rutgers students usually would, creating a strong homecourt advantage that was […]

Eagles-Packers Film Review: Statement game by the defense

This was one of the most dominant defensive performances of the Philadelphia Eagles’ 2025 season. The Green Bay Packers managed only one scoring drive, seven total points, and rarely looked comfortable. The pass rush was alive again, the coverage was sharp, and the minor schematic tweaks to fit the personnel were outstanding. The defense looked […]

GM #17: Winnipeg Jets @ Seattle Kraken

I know that I am getting tired of all these consecutive late start times for the Winnipeg Jets….yet they still have two more to go. The first of these will take place tonight at the Climate Pledge Arena in Washington state when our Jets will take on the Kraken, shortly followed by the final game of the road trip on Saturday in Calgary to clash with the Flames. It will be the second meeting of the season for the Winnipeg Jets ( 10-6-0 ) and the Seattle Kraken ( 7-4-5 ) and unfortunately ou...

The 6-foot-7, 205-pound wing from Chatsworth, California, will choose between Kentucky, North Carolina, Michigan State, and Texas.

Why are the Steelers so bad on third down?

The Pittsburgh Steelers have been in a month-long funk. They’ve lost three of their last four games, the latest of which was a 25-10 blowout loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. One thing that has stood out throughout the span of this slump is how dreadful Pittsburgh’s offense is on third down. In their last […]

Coaching breakdown of what Ohio State will see from UCLA

In 2025, UCLA’s offensive philosophy has been reimagined around one clear objective: get the ball to the playmakers and let them create explosive plays, while giving the quarterback the freedom to improvise when things break down. The offensive staff’s language in the room reflects this mentality. Phrases like “simplify reads, maximize tempo, take what the […]

Study Hall: Mizzou 83, Minnesota 60

I’ll be honest. I’m not sure what to make of this team yet. I was pretty sure they’d be good heading into the season, but wasn’t sure how good. I thought they had the talent and depth to contend for a top four finish in the league. But so far this season they’ve been down […]

Kicking woes be damned, Justin Tucker ain’t worth it

The “Karty Party” has been a disaster for the Los Angeles Rams this season. There’s no easy fix to the team’s kicking woes, yet all I know is that signing Justin Tucker wouldn’t be the answer, or worth the hassle. Tucker is set to return from his 10-week suspension to begin the 2025 season, meaning […]

Seahawks rookie Nick Emmanwori wins Rookie of the Week award

Nicholas Ovundah Eze Emmanwori. Impressive. First off, the Seattle Seahawks rookie safety really might be that dude. Physically speaking, 6ft 3in, built like a Commadores song; plus, he’s a RAS legend with an obviously advancing football acumen. Beefcake smash. Beefcake win awards, like the Rookie of the Week. Last Sunday’s inter-divisional battle against the Arizona […]

Free Agent Poll: Framber Valdez

We’ve been doing this for several years now. We reviewed some of the top free agents, as rated by Keith Law in The Athletic and Ben Clemens at FanGraphs, using the contracts FanGraphs suggests they will receive, and asked if we should sign them. Ben Clemens (no “t”) has Framber Valdez his number 4 free […]

Week 10 Colts Film Breakdown: Big Time Win in Berlin

International games can be the best or the worst—depending on the outcome of the game. If you win, there’s nothing like that flight back home. If you lose? It is MISERABLE. Luckily, the Colts under Shane Steichen have not had to experience that. I’ve said it before, but the NFL is a week to week […]
