We’ll keep track of every time a Dodgers player is optioned to the minor leagues during the 2026 season. Details on these transactions can also be found on our 40-man roster tracker, but here we will chronicle every specific time a player gets sent down, relative to the limits set by MLB. Major League rule […]
The Eagles weren’t expected to hire a guy like 33-yeard-old Sean Mannion — a former NFL QB with only two years of coaching experience and no play-calling experience —, but that’s exactly what they did when they announced him as the new Offensive Coordinator. While perhaps surprising, the move was widely accepted as a high […]
After what turned out to be a severe lapse in judgement, the Royals somehow ended up drawing to Exeter City on Tuesday. In a game we absolutely should have won, the Grecians scored in the dying minutes. It was another match in which an ex-Reading player scored against the Royals, in Pierce Sweeney. In fact, […]
The Wildcats pulled away from the Nittany Lions via a strong second half to get their second Big Ten win of the year. Head coach Chris Collins’ lineup adjustments continue to pay off for Northwestern, as it has now won two of its past three games and looks to gain momentum heading into the second […]
There are a full five years left on the 2020 NFL collective bargaining agreement, but there is no sign that there will be any slowdown in the speed at which the salary cap is increasing. After bottoming out at $182.5M in 2021 after the revenue shortfall of the 2020 COVID season led to the first […]
The Buffalo Bills haven’t officially pulled the lever yet, but all signs point in one clear direction when it comes to tight end Dalton Kincaid and his fifth-year option. Speaking recently, Bills president of football operations/general manager Brandon Beane left little room for doubt about the team’s intentions. “I don’t see any reason why the […]
The Philadelphia Flyers are starting to turn the corner on their rebuild — or at least they’re trying to. Elliotte Friedman speculated that the Flyers might be interested in New York Rangers winger Artemi Panarin on the most recent episode of 32 Thoughts: The Podcast . We wrote on that report earlier on Friday, with a look at how it might benefit the Flyers. Sure, bringing in a Russian winger to help Matvei Michkov and take this team to the next level might make sense right now, but ...
It took them a while, but the Green Bay Packers finally announced that they are bringing back head coach Matt LaFleur, general manager Brian Gutekunst and executive vice president/director of football operations Russ Ball on multi-year extensions. We’ll have to wait and see on further coaching staff moves, as the Packers have been known to […]
Each year, the NFL tends to set the official salary cap for the upcoming season in late February. However, according to a report, they have at least given an estimated range to clubs, and that means the Cleveland Browns (and the other 31 teams) will be gaining a bunch of cap space again: The report […]
If it feels like No. 11 Ohio State women’s basketball consistently starts slow in games, it is because that is exactly what is happening. The 2025-26 Buckeyes welcomed the Wisconsin Badgers to Columbus on Thursday night, and the game went as expected when compared to the rest of the season. Ohio State beat the Badgers […]
The Lakers have struggled without Austin Reaves. They’ve gone 9-8 during his time away due to his calf strain, unable to stack wins against the NBA’s top teams. Considering that Reaves is averaging 26.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game, his productivity should help bolster the Lakers’ offense and lighten the load for […]
Aston Villa head into Sunday’s clash with Brentford FC only four points off the pace for the top of the table. As Villa enter the weekend, they have seven injury concerns, five of which are longer-term injury absentees: Youri Tielemans, Boubacar Kamara, John McGinn, Andres Garcia and Alysson; and we’ll cover that here. They also […] The post Aston Villa Injury Updates: Youri Tielemans, Boubacar Kamara, John McGinn, Andres Garcia appeared first on The Sports Bank .

Four goals scored, but only two points in two games at home for Reading, leaving Ben and Ross to debate whether this team has enough to make a playoff push in the second half of the season. New full-backs Ryan Nyambe and Haydon Roberts impress, while Ross thinks there’s still a glaring need in the […]
A triumph over Penn State gave Northwestern its second Big Ten win, offering a glimmer of hope in what has been a tumultuous conference season. Now, the Wildcats face Washington on Saturday, another Big Ten team with hunger that has shown the potential to battle elite programs this year. This matchup, like every remaining game […]
Kentucky Basketball is about to face a massive road challenge Saturday night at Bud Walton Arena vs. John Calipari and the Arkansas Razorbacks. The Wildcats are looking to right the ship after yet another Nashville nightmare. After winning five straight and giving us hope, the Cats (14-7, 5-3) find themselves right back in the muddy […]
The A’s are reportedly on the verge of extending another one of their young stars. Shortstop Jacob Wilson and the team have reportedly agreed to a seven-year extension that ties him to the team for the long haul: The deal will reportedly pay Wilson $70 million overall and gives the team a club option for […]
After a near miss against No.7 Michigan State in overtime at home, Rutgers men’s basketball will look to break their four game losing streak as they head out to Los Angeles to take on USC on Saturday. The Scarlet Knights game against the Trojans is the first part of their two game LA road trip […]
John Spytek doesn’t have to look far for offseason inspiration. The Las Vegas Raiders general manager can simply look at the New England Patriots — the AFC representative in Super Bowl LX — for a insight as he embarks on an integral offseason for the Silver & Black. New England went from back-to-back 4-13 seasons […]
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. – With five teams tied for third place, each 5-4 in conference play, and with the next four teams lurking close behind (each within two games), this year’s normally competitive Coastal Athletic Conference has already produced even more parity than usual. However, two of the league’s perennial contenders – the UNC Wilmington Seahawks […]
We’re about 30 minutes late on the Bundesliga Open Thread but FC Köln vs Wolfsburg is still 0-0 right now so it basically doesn’t count. According to Predicting Ball (which has been recently updated and now splits fixtures by date and shows kick-off time in your timezone), there are several pretty close games this weekend, […]
With the Edmonton Oilers’ first three-game win streak of the season and the excitement packed into those games, if you could bottle all that energy into a morning drink, coffee companies would be out of business. The Oilers pulled off their first comeback from a three-goal deficit in the third period since 2022 with a…
As this UNC men’s basketball team was being put together after heavy turnover from last season, it was clear that perimeter shooting was a high priority for Hubert Davis and Jim Tanner. Kyan Evans was a deadly pull-up shooter at Colorado State last year; Luka Bogavac was a sniper in the Adriatic Basketball Association; Henri […]
The answer here, on the surface, is obvious: don’t allow runs. But what are the factors which go into a bullpen that’s good at run prevention? There are some obvious metrics which clearly have an impact. A high strikeout rate, for example: you can’t score, if you are carrying your bat back to the dugout. […]
For little over a decade now the Dallas Cowboys have been pretty consistent about how they choose to approach free agency year after year. They’ve chosen to shop from the “bargain bin” for about 11 years now and haven’t really paid an outside free agent over $6 million annually in that timeframe. This approach to […]
Sometimes in this job I feel a bit like Liz Lemon at the end of January. You’re telling me 2026 just got started? More than one half of Mizzou’s roster got turned over, yet we’re 8.5 percent of the way through the calendar year?? The transfer portal can do that to you. The fast and […]
