Fixing the 2026 Arizona Diamondbacks: Starting Pitching

How the rotation for Arizona performed this year kinda depends on what metric you choose, as well as how you look at it. By straight ERA, they were mediocre: 4.29 ranked the D-backs’ starting pitching nineteenth. It was considerably better than the 4.79 ERA and 27th ranking they managed in 2024. They certainly got their […]

NFC East update: Eagles pulling away

At about the midway point of this 2025 season, the NFC East is only partially operating as expected. Unsurprisingly, the defending Philadelphia Eagles are still on top. But despite expectations to start the year, the Washington Commanders are not in hot pursuit. We enter Week 9 with Philadelphia pulling away from the pack as the […]

Friday Night Frights

Scene: Indoors, a rectangular room with a long table at the front. Microphones are clustered around an empty seat in the middle of the table. Assembled PRESS, their backs to the camera, shuffle quietly and clear their throats, evidently waiting for something or someone. Enter SUIT, who leans over the chair and speaks into the […]

Flyers send Emil Andrae back down to AHL, again

The Philadelphia Flyers have made a roster move that not many fans will agree with and it involves young defenseman Emil Andrae. Announced by the team on Friday afternoon, the Flyers have sent Andrae back down to the AHL’s Lehigh Valley Phantoms. Andrae played just one game since his recall a few days ago, where he played over 15 minutes against the Nashville Predators in a fairly solid win for the team. In addition to the Andrae news, the Flyers have recalled center Jacob Gaucher fr...

Celtics’ slow start has fans re-evaluating expectations

The preseason seems like a long time ago now, doesn’t it? Except that we’re only just over a week into the NBA season. Things didn’t go as well as Celtics fans might have hoped, with the team dropping their first 3 games before winning the next two. So for this week’s survey, I figured I’d […]

Titans rule out four starters

The Tennessee Titans are outmatched against pretty much every team in the NFL at full strength. Well, this week they will be without Jeffery Simmons, Calvin Ridley, Xavier Woods, and Arden Key for the game against the Los Angeles Chargers. That’s pretty brutal. The Los Angeles Chargers currently rank fourth in the league in yards […]

NFL Best Bets: Week 9

NFL Best Bets Halloween is this week, and it’s always been one of my favorite holidays. Every year, I dress up as my cartoon namesake, Doug. Mostly because it makes me laugh, but also because it’s a very easy costume, and not far off from my usual apparel. Speaking of costumes, the Steelers’ throwback jerseys […]

Real Madrid have six games on the road lined up after facing Valencia at the Bernabeu on Saturday. A key UEFA Champions League date at Anfield is due on Tuesday.

UConn men’s basketball 2025-26 positional preview: Frontcourt

While the backcourt for the UConn men’s basketball team offers plenty of talent but many new faces, the frontcourt oozes stability and familiarity. Alex Karaban’s return and the ability to keep Jaylin Stewart and Jayden Ross from transferring brings tremendous experience and versatility on both ends. Almost every player in the frontcourt can defend multiple […]

Earlier this week we ran a poll asking Portland Trail Blazers fans if they thought Interim Head Coach Tiago Splitter brought their club a better chance to win than suspended former coach Chauncy Billups did.

Oilers Rumors: Cap Clearing Moves Coming Shortly

The Edmonton Oilers seem to be in great hands with general manager Stan Bowman as he has made almost all solid moves since joining the team. Nobody can bat 1000, but he also doesn't sit still and let things play out when there are obvious issues. The Oilers don't have much cap space to work with this season, but will have plenty to utilize in the offseason. But that is a long way away and Edmonton is a Stanley Cup contender again, even if they don't look like it quite yet. To get there, some m...
