As if the Colorado Rockies’ search for a president of baseball operations/general manager weren’t already weird enough, yesterday, it took another bizarre twist with this from Tim Healy of the Boston Globe: Healy’s reporting was confirmed by Patrick Saunders later in the day. You can read Purple Row’s coverage of the disintegrating search for a […]

The Miami Hurricanes have lost to another unranked team, this time the SMU Mustangs, and are now out of the ACC Championship Game picture unless something absolutely beyond possibility happens to the half dozen teams in line before them. We had thousands I say THOUSANDS of folks write in this week and the resounding message […]
Happy Tuesday, Red Sox Nation! To the surprise of absolutely nobody, Alex Bregman officially opted out of his deal on Monday. The Red Sox will have to compete with 29 other teams for his services, although several of those teams probably won’t be seriously interested because they’re cheap and waiting for a hypothetical future salary […]
Barcelona waved goodbye to Vitor Roque earlier this year as the Brazilian moved to Palmeiras in a deal worth around €25m. Crucially, Barcelona also kept hold of 20% of the player’s rights which could be about to bring the club a windfall. Vitor Roque’s agent has claimed that offers are starting to arrive for the […]
“Dumpster diving.” It’s a phrase that Orioles fans hate, a derisive criticism of the team’s tendency to eschew high-profile talent and instead add flawed players through waiver claims or minor league deals. But every once in a while, dumpster diving really does work. With a new environment and the right coaching, one team’s castoff can […]
Hello CSR! Welcome to Ask Brian (trying out a new title due to feedback), part one of your weekly Panthers fan mail bag for everyone! The Panthers are coming off a huge upset over the Green Bay Packers, with rookie kicker Ryan Fitzgerald nailing the game winner as time expired. Bryce Young returned from injury […]
Results George Strait once crooned “you’ve got to have an ace in the hole”. Well, in the winner-take-all Game 7 of the 1991 World Series, the Twins’ ace was a Black Jack. A ten-inning shutout of the Atlanta Braves for St. Paul’s own Jack Morris just might be the single greatest postseason pitching performance of […]
Welcome back for another round of fantasy ramblings. This week will be short, as it’s not a particularly inspired set of waiver wire options by this point in the season. But one point, in addition to the usual list: Now is the point of the season to start handcuffing your best players. I tend to […]
Borussia Dortmund face a difficult Manchester City tie in the Champions League today but will be buoyed by the return of three key injuries. Nico Schlotterbeck, Emre Can, and Julien Duranville are all available and we can expect Schlotterbeck to start. Niklas Süle is out with a toe injury. It’s not the most exciting slate […]
When the Miami Heat pulled off the under the radar acquisition of Norman Powell from the LA Clippers over the summer, it seemed like a brilliant move from the start. All it cost in a three-team deal between the Heat, Clippers and Utah Jazz to add Powell was aging veterans that had inconsistent roles last […]

Nebraska may not have come away with the win in Saturday’s blackout game against USC, but the night still paid major dividends on the recruiting trail. Four-star wide receiver Tay Ellis has announced his commitment to the Huskers, giving Matt Rhule and his staff another huge recruiting victory. Ellis, a 6-foot, 175-pound playmaker from Crowley, […]
While Roma’s European legacy can’t compete with the likes of Real Madrid, AC Milan, or Bayern Munich, the Giallorossi have provided many memorable European nights. From decisive victories to crushing defeats, memorable goals, epic comebacks, and everything in between, there’s seldom a dull moment when Roma faces its continental foes. Roma’s latest European campaign hasn’t […]
With some of the top teams off (Alabama, Texas A&M, Oregon) and others playing conference doormats (Penn State-Ohio State, Indiana-Maryland) as per usual, the SEC took center stage. It was much better entertainment than watching the Dodgers’ “bought” World Series win. One shlock-fest in particular caught some eyes for the car crash that it was: […]
With Liverpool set to welcome Real Madrid to Anfield for the second straight year in the league phase of the Champions League, there’s been plenty of chatter this week about a new UEFA rule that states any club that has drawn the same opponent this season and last at home won’t be able to draw […]
After it was formally announced that the Nov. 14 Jake Paul vs Gervonta Davis fight would not be going through, Paul took to social media to air out his complaints about Davis as both a businessman and a person, emphasizing how difficult it had been to work with him up to this point. “Gervonta Davis […]
Trent Alexander-Arnold returns to Anfield for the first time since his summer move to Real Madrid as Liverpool prepare to face the Spanish giants in the Champions League. Trent Alexander-Arnold will make his long-awaited return to Anfield on Tuesday night, bringing with it one of the most anticipated fixtures of the season. The right-back, who […]

Sunday was a rollercoaster ride for Patriots quarterback Drake Maye. Maye began the day building off his strong start to the season, completing nine of his first 13 passes for 157 yards and two touchdowns. But after a disastrous strip sack to end the first half, Maye looked hesitant at times and went just 10-of-16 […]
We’re kicking off our ranking of the Brewers’ 10 most valuable players in 2025 with third baseman Caleb Durbin. Durbin finished the season with 2.9 bWAR and 2.6 fWAR, good for seventh and sixth on the team, respectively. While old for a rookie at 25 years old, Durbin has come a long way from being […]
I want to dive into the difference between the American goal tending/ basket interference rule and that for the rest of the globe. That was in play in the singular “controversial” moment of U of L’s draw and quartering of South Carolina State, 104-45. Because there wasn’t much tension after this: On the Cards’ opening […]
Up to fourth in the Premier League, another sold out Stadium of Light, Granit Xhaka scored, and we’re still unbeaten at home in the Premier League – life is pretty good right now at Sunderland AFC! Joining us to chat about the draw with Everton is debutant Jason Jones, who writes for the Sunderland Echo! […]
Good morning to all as we hit the final big roster day of the 2025 NFL season: The NFL trade deadline. After Tuesday at 4 PM Eastern, teams will no longer be able to freely trade players between each other. With every team having at least played eight games, the NFL’s midseason deadline is often […]
Not to be hyperbolic, but the Detroit Lions’ 27–24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings might go down as the most surprisingly unprepared and disappointing efforts of the Dan Campbell era. Coming off a bye, playing at home as near double-digit favorites against a quarterback making just his third career start, and facing a defense they’ve […]
Maxine Raynaud came close. The 7-1 center from Paris led Stanford in scoring and rebounding for the past two seasons, finishing 2025 as the ACC leader in rebounds (10.6) and as its second-best scorer (20.2) behind Notre Dame guard Markus Burton. A picture of versatility, Raynaud completed 67 threes, tied for 11th-best in the league. […]
