Cadillac have announced that Marcin Budkowski has been named their new team principal. The Polish engineer last worked in Formula 1 as a director at Alpine, leaving at the start of 2022. His arrival means Graeme Lowdon has been replaced in the role after an uncompetitive start to the team’s first se...
At the moment there are nine head coach openings in the NFL and one of them is within the NFC East at the New York Giants. Obviously we have a level of interest in what the Giants do as Dallas Cowboys fans given that there are two games the team plays against them every year. […]
At the beginning of the off-season, it seemed very unlikely the Phillies would be able to sign a big-money free agent if they also brought back Kyle Schwarber. Of course, they ultimately secured the reigning NL MVP runner-up to a five-year, $150 million contract back in December. The chances of signing one of the other […]
As classes begin we get caught up on the latest from Syracuse’s Olympic Sports. Syracuse announced that on February 8th as part of National Girls and Women in Sports Day, they will honor alum Kathrine Switzer. During the women’s basketball game against Louisville, Switzer’s #261 bib number will be added to the JMA Dome rafters. […]
In a somewhat unprecedented move Dante Moore, who was widely viewed as the consensus No. 2 pick in this year’s draft has, decided to forego declaring for the 2026 NFL draft and instead return to Oregon for his senior season. On the surface, the decision makes sense from a developmental standpoint. Moore has long been […]
Bundle up, it’s about to get really cold. The fanbase will be anything but as they are hyped up to watch the Chicago Bears in the divisional round of the playoffs. The city has been buzzing ever since the team overcame an 18-point deficit to eliminate their rivals and advance in the playoffs. This week […]
The Seattle Seahawks’ 2025 season has reached the point where national conversation and local belief finally meet. What began as a year filled with uncertainty has turned into a playoff run that demands real analysis — not just from a Seahawks-centric lens, but from a league-wide perspective. That’s exactly why I’m welcoming Garret Greenlee of […]
Unfortunately for North Carolina, the story in Wednesday night’s game against Stanford was yet another defensive collapse in the second half. That was already the case in the SMU loss, but it also happened in the Wake Forest game, even if that ended up with a victory. With the Cardinal hitting 10+ three-pointers in the […]
Now that we’re full-on into the playoffs, it’s time to stop looking in the rearview with our Secret Superstars series, and start looking forward to the next game with postseason X-Factors. The principle is the same — using game tape and metrics to uncover those hidden gems for every team who are primed to bring […]
The son of Brian Morabito, who played baseball for James Madison University when he attended the school in the late-80s and early-90s, and the nephew of John Morabito, who played baseball at Wake Forest University and was drafted by the Chicago White Sox in 1987, playing professionally for a year, Nick Morabito took to baseball […]
Following the game, let’s look at how each player changed their stock. Keep in mind that information can be hard to come by for players, depending on their performance or their position. If anyone else can find info, please post in the comments. For starters, there were challenges stemming from the Hula Bowl this year […]
Four goals, no win, and no answers—just draft math, trade deadline thoughts, and growing doubts about J.T. Miller.
Reading under-18s exited the FA Youth Cup in the fourth round on Wednesday night, but not after a valiant effort, losing 3-2 against a strong Chelsea side at the SCL Stadium. Two goals from Chelsea’s Ryan Kavuma-McQueen, either side of the Royals’ T’Shay St Louis rifling an equaliser into the top corner, put the visitors […]
In case there are any gamblers coming here looking for information, I don’t have enough to explain the absurd line movement happening with three of the AmEast games on Thursday. I wish I knew more, as I’m rather confused myself. Alas, I’ll stick to hoop analysis. Another programming-related note: I’m previewing only the four Thursday […]
Tonight in the NBA, we will be treated to a huge Western Conference showdown between two title contenders when the Oklahoma City Thunder visit the Houston Rockets. The Thunder come in having won four consecutive games, including finally getting by San Antonio in their last time out. The Rockets, on the other hand, just snapped a three-game losing streak with a 119-113 win over the Bulls in their last outing. Who will come out on top tonight in Houston? Let’s take a look at some ...
Major League Baseball’s international signing period officially opened on Thursday morning, and the Cincinnati Reds wasted little time in making official a major deal that had been long in the works. Outfielder Angel Nunez, Jr. put pen to paper on a deal featuring a $3 million signing bonus, as the fine folks at MLB Pipeline […]
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
When Liverpool saw their left-it-too-late move for Crystal Palace centre half Marc Guehi fall apart on deadline day last summer, the general belief was that the Reds would remain frontrunners for his signature in summer of 2026 on a free transfer when his contract expired. While that certainly remains a possible outcome, the problem with […]
The NCAA made a surprising announcement yesterday evening that it will be changing the structure of the college basketball transfer portal. This announcement comes after two years of pressure from college basketball coaches and institutions asking the NCAA to bring more regulation to the transfer portal. The NCAA announced on Wednesday that going forward, men’s […]
I know for a long time many of you have been wanting some written version of our mailbag ever since we started doing those as a weekly podcast. It’s been something I’ve tried to bring back multiple times, but ultimately just haven’t found the time to be able to do. This offseason, however, I think […]
We’ve had a little bit of a soft spot for right-hander Carlos Marcano over the past few seasons. The 22-year-old has barely gotten a mention nationally, and that was pretty understandable until late in the 2025 season. His breaking stuff was pretty fringy, and he basically profiled as a 92-93 mph sinkerballer with advanced control […]
It’s time to reveal the five players who made it the closest to the pre-season 2026 top 30 Purple Row Prospects (PuRPs) list, the Honorable Mention PuRPS, as voted on by the Purple Row community recently. For each player, I’ll include a link to individual stats and contract status (via Baseball-Reference), as well as notes on […]
The Cleveland Browns have been furiously bringing in potential head coaching candidates left and right over the past two weeks, and now ESPN has predicted who the next lead man will be in Northeast Ohio. According to ESPN’s Dan Graziano, Cleveland’s next head coach will be Mike McDaniel and it makes a ton of sense […]
A full look at the FC Dallas depth chart heading into preseason, breaking down starters, depth options, and key positional battles for 2026.
The New York Knicks (25*–15) visit the Golden State Warriors (22–19, eighth in the West) tonight at Chase Center in San Francisco. This cross-conference matchup pairs a stumbling team that can occasionally be great against a Warriors team that has steadied itself behind veteran leadership and a strong home-court energy. Stay up late with us […]
Morning, all! MLB Network is doing a slow reveal of the league’s top 100 players over the next few days and Wyatt Langford and Nathan Eovaldi are numbers 69 and 65. The international free agent signing period begins today, and the Rangers are stepping outside of their comfort zone and investing significant bonus pool money […]
