In Today’s Links: is Jaxon Smith-Njigba truly in the running for NFL MVP?; more stunning figures from JSN’s historic 2025 season, injury updates and news from Seattle Seahawks Coach Macdonald’s Monday presser, numbers of note from last Sunday’s ‘Hawks win over the Titans, another bit of praise for LB Drake Thomas, how the Seahawks can […]
We all know it’s been a rough season for the Las Vegas Raiders and thus, it has been a pretty lousy season for all of us who watch the team play. OK, it’s been brutal and I’m sure some of you wonder why you should even bother watching the final six games of this miserable […]
The Buffalo Bills (7-4) are on the verge of being on the outside looking in when it comes to the AFC playoff picture, and one week after their offensive line was bullied by a ferocious Houston Texans’ front four, the task won’t get any easier when the Bills travel to play the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-5) […]
College Football’s regular season is entering rivalry week, and several prospects for the upcoming draft have only just a few opportunities remaining to make a statement on the field as to why they should go in the first round.
Let’s run through another 2026 NFL Mock Draft.
2026 NFL Mock Draft
1. Tennessee Titans: LB Arvell Reese – Ohio State
The Titans took their quarterback last year. This year, they address the other side of the ball with the top defensive player in the ...
The Dallas Stars will be without their top weapon — both offensively and physically — during their first visit to Edmonton since last season’s Western Conference Final. That was Game 4 of a quick work series for the Oilers, of course, and the Stars laid their revenge on Edmonton back on Nov. 4 in a…
The Miami Dolphins continue to need a lot of help as they chase the playoffs. In week 12, they didn't get any.
Rockies in 2025. The purpose of this list is to provide a snapshot of the player in context. The “Ranking” is an organizing principle that’s drawn from Baseball Reference’s WAR (rWAR). It’s not something the staff debated. We’ll begin with the player with the lowest rWAR and end up with the player with the highest. […]
In Mariners news… Around the league…
Let’s pivot from looking at possible Cubs free agent signings and instead, check out some starting pitchers who will likely be available by trade. Some of these guys were the same starters that many teams, including the Cubs, tried to acquire at last summer’s deadline. Exactly zero of these pitchers were traded, reportedly because the […]
When things are going badly in football, everybody has their own differing opinion as to why—and what to do to fix it. Often, too, there can be at least a bit of truth in all of them, as when things go badly it’s usually not the case of just one thing, one phase or player, […]
For obvious reasons I am going to focus on outfielders and second baseman, though with Jonathan India not being on this list second might be more filled than we would like already. Non-tendered players are generally not very good, thus their team did not want to bring them back. Still, there are a couple of […]
How many more ways can we describe an Eli Drinkwitz going on the road and/or going against a Top 10 team and losing a close one? It’s getting pretty repetitive, eh? And how many more ways can we describe any Missouri football team travelling to Norman, Oklahoma and getting beat? It’s the 20th-straight time we […]
Although it might be hard to believe, the NFL regular season is six games away from coming to an end. The playoff push for over half the league is in full swing, and teams are starting to play like it. With a three-game Thanksgiving slate, followed by a marquee matchup on Black Friday, football and […]

Morning all! The A’s made another minor depth addition late yesterday evening, bringing back left-handed reliever Matt Krook on a minor league deal, per Bill Moriarity of A’s Farm: This’ll be Krook’s second go-round with the A’s after he began last season in the system. For the second time in as many years he’s inking […]

No team breathed a collective sigh of relief on Selection Sunday quite like North Dakota. It wasn’t that long ago that UND was sitting at 6-2 and looking like a shoo in for the playoffs. But three losses later… including a heartbreaking season finale overtime stumble to South Dakota State… and suddenly it seemed as […]
While the Nationals have not been extremely active on the free agent market in the past few seasons, there was once a time when they would spend as big as anyone, bringing in stars such as Max Scherzer on lucrative deals. Today, I’m taking a look at the best free agent signings the Nationals have […]
Once Oregon scored to go up 42-27 with only 5:22 left the rest of the game was excluded as garbage time. At that point USC was in desperation mode to not only score but do so quickly, while Oregon was primarily concerned with running clock. Because the punt return touchdown took the place off an […]
One of the biggest internal debates among fans this time of year is whether you should actually be rooting for wins or losses down the stretch. Simply put: to tank or not to tank. Unfortunately for the Jets, this has basically turned into an annual tradition at this point. If the season ended today, the […]
The New Orleans Saints were back from their bye week with a home tilt against the Atlanta Falcons. Here’s a quick look back on all the action from Sunday. First Quarter The visitors were instantly forced to punt after a three-and-out, but had the ball back just as quickly after a Saints fumble on their […]
As the Syracuse Orange’s matchup versus No. 3 Houston progressed, the doors were closing in on its chances of winning as the game clock got closer to reaching zero. Syracuse previously held a nine-point lead in the first half. It would be down three (37-34) heading into the second half, when the Cougars started to […]
We finally have some numbers on the Phil Maton deal , though not yet the full breakdown (which I do think matters):
Phil Maton Cubs deal: $14.5M, 2 years and club option. Plus $250K incentives per year based on games pitched for the ultra reliable reliever. So good chance to reach $15M. — Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) November 25, 2025
Maton had 81 k’s in 61.1 innings split between St. Louis and Texas last season — one of the best of his career. @Michael_Cerami was on the signing las...
As the 2025 calendar year begins to wrap up, more and more focus is shifting to the next big event on the horizon and that’s the upcoming 2026 Winter Olympics. The Colorado Avalanche expect to have a large contingent of players heading to Milan to take part in the festivities but is there one Avalanche […]
The Minnesota Golden Gophers (6-5) look to close out the regular season on a positive note when they battle the Wisconsin Badgers (4-7) for Paul Bunyan’s Axe at 2:30 p.m. CST on Saturday, Nov. 29. Can Wisconsin score on offense? Against a Danny Collins-led defense? Yeah, probably. The Badgers are down to their third- and […]
