Kaleb Johnson knows he has to fight for a roster spot this year, but his teammates see the work the running back is putting in. A 2025 third-round pick, he struggled as a rookie. Under a new coaching staff with no ties to him and a depth chart on which he can be no higher […]
Well, at least you can file this one under “it shouldn’t theoretically affect the Braves in 2026, I guess,” if it makes you feel any better: This does seem more like a holdover from 2025’s injury woes than a continuation into 2026, but it is what it is. The notable thing here is that once […]
It’s kind of boring to keep repeating this so often. But this Chelsea Women is not playing as confidently as they were since their Arsenal loss followed by an absolute beatdown handed to them by Manchester City. No wonder we’ve had major developments ever since in a mostly drama-free club, namely Sonia Bompastor’s extension to […]
“Right now I don’t even know who will be available, so I need to see that first. Then we’ll see what we decide. Pellegrini has played a lot, right? So those are the options. We’ll see. First we need to figure out what shape we’re in. We’ll train today and then we’ll decide. But Dybala […]

The Winnipeg Jets have had a very underwhelming season up to the Olympic break. They are 11 points out of a playoff spot and some injuries and a lot of poor performances from players have caused them to be in this position. Josh Morrissey is one of the Jets who have had another strong season and was selected to Team Canada, where he got injured and missed the second game. It's yet to be determined whether the injury is bad or not, but it could impact the rest of the Jets' season. While many wo...

It would be hard for people who never experienced Jason Williams’ run at Duke to understand just how good he was. He was built like a fire hydrant, short by basketball standards, really strong, and with a low center of gravity. He was also explosive as hell. Take this game against Kentucky in the 2001 […]
Meet the Mets Marcus Semien’s quiet leadership will be key in getting the Mets’ new infield to jell, writes Laura Albanese of Newsday. Semien is looking forward to a reunion with Bo Bichette and playing alongside Francisco Lindor, he said. Anthony DiComo of MLB.com provided his early spring training observations from Port St. Lucie. Edwin […]
The Orioles made a significant effort over the offseason to shore up multiple positions. The team boosted its starting pitching depth by adding Shane Baz, Chris Bassitt and Zach Eflin. Baltimore added Ryan Helsley and Andrew Kittredge to help in the late innings. The O’s added plenty of power with Pete Alonso and Taylor Ward, […]
The Detroit Lions defense failed to meet expectations in 2025 under first-time coordinator Kelvin Sheppard. Lions coach Dan Campbell still saw enough promise to keep Sheppard around another year, and that was likely due to the play of some individuals on defense. Our 2025 Pride of Detroit awards continue today with Defensive Player of the […]
The Minnesota Wild are gearing up to finally make an impact in the playoffs after acquiring Quinn Hughes and looking to do more. By do more, there is a high chance that a center is brought in. They feel they need an upgrade to be able to go toe-to-toe with the Dallas Stars and Colorado Avalanche and actually make a deep run. The center depth is as follows: Ryan Hartman, Joel Eriksson Ek, Daniil Yurov, and Nico Sturm. Given the production and overall play, I only see one top-6 center, Eriksson ...
It's a legendary rivalry.
It’s here! It’s finally here! The Dodgers will be playing baseball in less than a week’s time. As the team begins to regroup at Camelback Ranch, old faces and new alike make their way into the clubhouse, and among the new faces to the Dodgers is Edwin Díaz. Díaz was the first major signing this […]

Arizona men’s basketball alum and current Miami Heat Keshad Johnson outlasted fellow former Wildcat and current San Antonio Spur Carter Bryant to win the 2026 NBA Slam Dunk Contest. Johnson marks the first NBA Wildcat to win the contest after four players before him did not win. On their first dunk attempt, Johnson received a […]
With the draft approaching, this series has been about stripping away hype and getting back to what actually translates on Sundays. Quarterback and running back evaluations get most of the attention, but wide receiver is the position where casual scouting often falls apart the fastest. Too many prospects get labeled as “NFL-ready” because they’re fast, […]
Maybe you’re a regular at Detroit Tigers spring training camp. Maybe you’ve made the pilgrimage once, like myself. And maybe your best spring training memory came from a story or from watching Grapefruit League action on television. I went down once, long before the whole Lakeland complex was completely renovated, before I even started writing […]
Hey now. The players are in camp, except for a couple, who (as far as I know) are still having visa trouble. They’ll actually play a competitive game this week. I don’t know about you, but I’m studio-tanned, restless, and ready-to-wear. I’m in the best shape of my life (round) except for my hand, which […]
