Nebraska has officially signed its entire 2026 recruiting class — the Huskers signed a sizable class of nine wrestlers who will arrive next fall. As usual, Nebraska recruited nationally in this class — the Huskers currently have 29 guys on their roster from 16 different states — the highest number (seven) coming from in-state Nebraska. […]
The Detroit Lions (7-5) and Dallas Cowboys (6-5-1) will square off in a Week 14 NFC showdown at Ford Field. Heading into this game, these two teams look in vastly different spots.

Good morning, baseball fans! We hope you had a great holiday weekend! Over the weekend, I asked you all to share your favorite home runs of the San Francisco Giants’ 2025 season. Today, I wanted to get into our favorite defensive plays of the 2025 season. There were a LOT of great plays and catches […]
Starting pitching is generally an issue for the Colorado Rockies, but their woes were especially apparently in 2025. The Rockies’ rotation set a modern-era record for worst ERA at 6.65 through a league second-fewest 776.1 innings of work. The Rockies’ 2026 rotation is set to look very different. Austin Gomber and Germán Márquez have both […]
Good morning.
Alex Speier at the Boston Globe writes about Boston’s pursuit of Cole Ragans. For teams that are in the market for high-end starting pitching and willing to deal big league talent to get it, the Royals represent one of the most interesting potential trade partners of the offseason. Kansas City isn’t hiding its willingness to […]
The gloom was pervasive, and it wasn’t just the weather. This Atlanta Falcons team had everything to play for—a small chance to climb the ladder in the NFC South, pride, their coaching staff, one another, and even not handing a top ten pick to the Rams in 2026—and they simply weren’t good enough to beat […]

With nine points in Final, including the winning free throws, Gray was named tournament MVP. Gray […]
I’m always loathe to call for someone to lose their job. No matter what you think of someone’s job performance, they are a human being. They’ve got loved ones, they’ve got friends, they’ve got family. But the sad reality is that sometimes someone has to lose their job. In the case of Purdue football, who […]
The Vancouver Canucks are open for business. GM Patrik Allvin has told teams around the league the Canucks are willing to work with just about every team, and will listen to just about anyone off their roster. This includes captain Quinn Hughes, who the team knows is leaving by the time he hits free agency in two summers. President Jim Rutherford shockingly admitted that Hughes wants to eventually play with his brothers in an exit press conference to end last season, and now, with just one yea...
Good morning, ‘Dawgs! Only a handful of teams in college football find themselves playing for a conference championship this weekend. And your Georgia Bulldogs are one of them. As noted yesterday the Bulldogs opened as a very slight favorite over the Crimson Tide, though the line has moved from -1.5 to -2.5. Far be it […]
Welcome back to the 2025-26 edition of Smash or Pass, in which we examine potential free agent and trade targets to determine whether the Red Sox should pursue them and what it would take to land them.

Good morning! It can be hard to return to work after an extended break. So do yourself a favor this morning and ease into things. Instead of going through your emails, watch this 15 minute home movie footage of the 1946 Red Sox — including the World Series against the Cardinals. Talk about what you […]
The ACC went 2-2 against the SEC on rivalry week, but the real story is SMU’s loss opened the door for a doomsday scenario for the conference where the champion misses the playoff. Definitive Worst in the ACC 17. Syracuse (3-9 [1-7] Prev 17): When you’re getting blown out at home to Boston College, you’re in […]
Feast Week is over, we’ve got a full four weeks of basketball in the books, and as of Sunday afternoon, Big East league action has started with UConn women’s basketball tangling with Xavier. Plus, Monday is December 1st! If you think of the season as November/December/January/February and March is the postseason, we’re at the one-quarter […]
Dave Canales finally committed to the run against a superior opponent. Bryce Young delivered a precise-when-it-mattered and mistake-free game. This was the game we hoped for against the San Francisco 49ers and, instead, it showed up a week late and right on time as the Panthers head into their much needed bye week. For all […]
PHILADELPHIA – Merrimack hadn’t held an opponent under a point per possession through its first eight games of the season.

While it may seem a bit odd, December typically is one of the most exciting months on the baseball calendar. The Winter Meetings is typically the peak of off-season activity, and we are just a week away from the 2025 MLB Winter Meetings starting. This does not mean that moves will stop until then, but […]
Before we move forward, before the next steps, before the rumors and the portal and the pressure of what comes next, there is something that deserves to be said clearly and respectfully. Thank you, Mark Stoops. When Mark Stoops arrived, Kentucky football was in the gutter. I was young, and I honestly did not know […]

This is a low point for the Falcons. Losing to this New York Jets team that just went on a fire sale feels like the final straw for the Terry Fontenot-Raheem Morris era. If it is, then they picked the perfect note to leave on. There is no better encapsulation of why the Falcons need […]
