The San Diego Padres needed a win like Wednesday afternoon’s. As the Padres bludgeoned the San Francisco Giants, 7-1, to salvage the series finale, they finally put together an offense that matched what it looks like on paper. The club (after only recording nine extra-base hits going into Wednesday’s contest) had five XBH, including four […]
In Today’s Links: where do the Seattle Seahawks stand around the league as far as their QB situation, a John Schneider press conference, a look at the most recent free agent signings by the ‘Hawks, Riq’s reasons for leaving, a mock draft (or two), and more. #np Bird On A Wire by Action Bronson and […]
Tonight’s Phillies game will feature one of the most anticipated MLB debuts in recent memory, at least for Philadelphia baseball fans. Top pitching prospect Andrew Painter will finally make his long awaited MLB debut, nearly three years after it was originally anticipated thanks to a torn UCL and Tommy John surgery. The Phillies went into […]
I’ve come to think of Bryce Elder the last couple of years as Chunky Woody Harrelson. Not fat, just broad-shouldered with a full, kind face. I have noticed this season that he’s added the beard. He does appear to be slimmer. As a blogger with a terminal case of dad bod, I know how helpful […]
Commanders links Articles Bullock’s Film Room (subscription) NFL Draft Profile: WR Carnell Tate After the Washington Commanders missed out on both Alec Pierce and Romeo Doubs in free agency, there’s a growing belief among the fanbase that the team could pursue a wide receiver in the draft. Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate is widely […]
Marc Cucurella has been talking about Barcelona while on international duty with Spain and made it pretty clear he would be tempted to return if the Catalans came knocking. “It is clear if that situation [Barcelona making an offer] did arise, it is hard to turn down, but I would have to consider it in […]
Some of you might have taken note of Owen Caissie’s two-run walk-off homer for the Marlins on Sunday. The other part of that deal, Edward Cabrera coming to the Cubs, also had a very good game for his new team. Cabrera was dominant over six innings, allowing just a walk and a fourth-inning single (and […]
The New Orleans Saints reportedly held a private workout for Illinois guard Josh Gesky last week, as the team could be looking to add to the interior of the offensive line in the 2026 NFL Draft. Gesky allowed just one sack and 12 pressures across 456 pass-blocking snaps last season, while committing only one penalty on 849 […]
Much of the focus X this past offseason centered (as it always seems to) on the Orioles’ ability to upgrade their pitching rotation. Mike Elias and the front office may not have traded for Tarik Skubal or signed a top free agent (Cease, Valdez, Suarez), but they did show a refreshing aggressiveness in adding starting […]
Good morning. Evan Grant writes that Jack Leiter looked every bit the part of an established, successful starting pitcher in a season debut victory for the Texas Rangers last night. Kennedi Landry writes that, now donning his dad’s No. 22, Leiter started his 2026 campaign with a win over the AL East’s Baltimore Orioles. Grant […]
We all grew up thinking of college athletes as amateurs, with the best programs landing the amateurs most likely to go pro. It’s been a rough and rapid change to this new world of paying players. Today, many basketball players will make far, far more money playing college ball than they ever will make playing […]
Gerry McNamara wants you to know that he’s here to win. It’s who he is. And it’s who he’ll always be. For 17 minutes on Monday afternoon McNamara spoke with confidence and conviction. Confidence in himself and the people around him. Conviction that he can get the Syracuse basketball program to where it needs to […]
I was excited to see that Husker Volleyball is once again keeping things interesting. They are once again playing in the Big Ten/SEC showdown and this time it is at Wrigley Field. Last year I was able to go watch them in their reverse sweep of Kentucky at the Broadway Block Party in Nashville and […]
Elite defenses have elite pass rushers and projecting sack totals is not a one-to-one exercise. Like many things in football, individual skill contributes a lot but luck also plays a big factor. Did you play a lot of mobile quarterbacks? Did you face a slate of particularly lackluster pass protecting offensive lines? Did you end […]
Ben Jacobson Hired as Utah State Head Men’s Basketball Coach In a surprising twist after all the Mark Madsen rumors, Utah State hired Ben Jacobson to take over the vacancy Jerrod Calhoun left behind. A shocker frankly, Jacobson was at Northern Iowa for 20 years and appeared to be a lifer for the Panthers. It’s […]
The Milwaukee Bucks will face the Dallas Mavericks in a battle of two teams with tanking aspirations. This was the rescheduled game from January 25, after winter storms prevented the Mavericks from flying out of Dallas to Milwaukee. Where We’re At The Milwaukee Bucks have all but given up, and so have the fans. There […]
At the start of this season nobody was sure Evgeni Malkin even wanted to come back. He was a pending unrestricted free agent and the Pittsburgh Penguins were expected to be near the bottom of the standings, chasing a shot at Gavin McKenna. Zoom ahead to late March and the picture is just the opposite. Malkin amazingly is over a point per game this season with 15 goals and 52 points in 50 games. Pittsburgh is right in the thick of the playoff race in the Metropolit...

The annual Kid’s Day Game at Swayze Field is just a special little event if you’ve never been there in person. Thousands of shrieking children from local schools pack the stands for this one game and getting to skip a day of school to watch baseball is about as American as it gets. First pitch […]
Graves-Blanks ran the early NCAA lead in the 110-meter hurdles, Liisa-Maria Lusti cracked Oregon’s all-time top 10, and the Ducks piled up eight personal bests at the Jim Bush Legends Invitational. Oregon’s sprint and multis groups brought plenty of firepower to Los Angeles on Saturday, and Kai Graves-Blanks led the way. Competing at the Jim […]

Maybe I’ll write up something quick this week asking Should the Los Angeles Rams move off of Stetson Bennett? Either way, if the Rams are planning on nabbing Kirk Cousins or Jimmy Garopollo as their backup, where does that leave Bennett? It’s not that Bennett is expected to beat out Cousins or Garopollo, longtime players, […]
Week 4 had it all: NWSL attendance records, teams sinking and rising and important wins.

Two wins and a loss last Friday against table-leading Angel City, put them in fifth position. […]
