On paper, the Braves and the Blue Jays make perfect sense as trade partners. The Braves are obvious buyers sitting atop the NL East, while the Blue Jays are in last place in the AL East and 5.5 games back of the final wild card spot with several teams between them. They are likely sellers, […]
The New York Giants have fired Brian Daboll. They are the second NFL team this season to move on from their head coach as the Tennessee Titans dismissed Brian Callahan a few weeks back. It is a tough season to be a head coach named Brian… watch out Schotty. New York is going to be […]
How Acquired The Braves signed Didier Fuentes as an international free agent from Colombia in the 2022 class. Fuentes was hardly the headliner in that class, as he received a more modest $75k bonus in the class that was headlined by Diego Benitez. What Were Expectations? Expectations were high for Fuentes in 2025 coming off […]
Bryce Zephir grew up a Syracuse basketball fan. Growing up on the west coast, an affinity sprouted for the Orange program due to its guards and style of play. Zephir grew up just outside of Los Angeles in Carson, CA, but his father is originally from New York. He tuned in to the Syracuse program […]
The Los Angeles Rams made up for their unspeakable loss to the San Francisco 49ers a few weeks ago in a 42-26 win in Week 10. Los Angeles is set up nicely for a big matchup with the Seattle Seahawks next week for sole possession of the NFC West. Before we get too ahead of […]
Coming off last night’s Fall Stars Game, it’s a great time to check back in with the Cubs Boys of Autumn playing for the Mesa Solar Sox in the Arizona Fall League. The home run derby and the Fall Stars Game meant it was a short week for the Solar Sox with only four games […]
Update: The Giants make it official The New York Giants are reportedly firing head coach Brian Daboll, and naming OC Mike Kafka as the interim head coach. They are 2-8 this season, and on track for another high draft pick after picking No. 3 pick overall in this year’s draft, taking DE Abdul Carter, then […]
Despite a lack of improvement on the offensive side of the ball, the Tar Heels have are suddenly on a two-game win streak after taking down Stanford this past Saturday. The Cardinal struggled against the Heels’ defense for most of the night, and it wasn’t until the fourth quarter that they finally started to make […]
Less than 24 hours removed from another late-game collapse for the New York Giants, head coach Brian Daboll has been fired by the team. NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport was among the first to break the news this afternoon. The #Giants are firing coach Brian Daboll, sources say. A promising and frustrating season leads NYG to have an opening. pic.twitter.com/0hB84Yb6s8 — Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) November 10, 2025 The Giants Have Fired Head Coach Brian Daboll Daboll and the...
The Pittsburgh Steelers have lost their third game in four weeks with a 25-10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, sending them to 5-4 on the season. The offense had by far its worst performance of the season, while the defense did all it could to limit the Chargers. Here is this week’s Varsity and […]
It was clear Jackson Powers-Johnson’s injury status wasn’t great, but now it appears it could be a worse-case scenario situation. NFL Media reported Monday morning that, as expected, the right guard will go on the injured reserve and he could be out for the final eight games of the season. So, Powers-Johnson, will miss, at […]
The Twins started out the week with Derek Shelton’s introductory press conference, where the Twins gave some indication that the fire sale over the trade deadline would not be continuing into the offseason. That being said, until Pablo López (or Joe Ryan) steps on the mound for Opening Day, everything is likely fluid for the Twins. […]

Hello there and welcome to the Big Ten Power Rankings! Each week we’ll rank how the teams across the conference are playing, in the hopes of seeing just who is a contender, and who is a pretender over the course of the season. The rules are few, but resolute: Teams are ranked by how they’re […]

Update: The Kentucky Wildcats made a small move in the latest college basketball rankings. The Coaches Top 25 Poll has Kentucky up to No. 8 and the Louisville Cardinals at No. 12. The first AP Top 25 Poll of the regular season has Kentucky at No. 9 (nice) and Louisville at No. 12. Gary Parrish’s […]
Wow. What a week in the FBS. What a week in the Big Ten. From upsets to game winners, Week 11 was full of surprises. One of the better weeks in Big Ten football this season, that’s for sure. Note: I will be using the newly-released College Football Playoff Rankings now instead of AP Top […]
Mark Stoops and the Kentucky Wildcats have now won two straight SEC games as they look to continue to build on the positive momentum from the last few weeks. Which now brings us to a conversation I think we all thought was long past several weeks ago… bowl projections. Now, the Cats still have a […]
Caleb Williams is well on his way to rewriting the Chicago Bears record books. While the Bears are currently the only NFL team without a 4,000-yard passer in its history, Williams is on pace to change the narrative and erase it from the annual preseason storylines that come up each year. Chicago’s QB1 has thrown for 2,136 yards in his first nine games this season. At this pace, Williams projects to throw for 4,035 yards. Not only would that number be a franchise-best that knocks Erik Kram...
The Chargers won handedly in an ugly game over the Steelers on Sunday Night Football. Running back Kimani Vidal posted another game of over 100 yards of offense while safety R.J. Mickens recorded his second interception this season. Wideout Ladd McConkey was also top amongst pass-catchers with a season-high 107 yards and a touchdown on […]
On November 10th in 1996, Ron Hextall of the Philadelphia Flyers skated the length of the ice to engage netminder Felix Potvin when a melee broke out at the end of a match against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Hextall was met with a willing and able opponent who quickly bloodied the Flyer backstop with a serious of blows to the left eye. Not surprisingly, the Philadelphia feed (below) hailed
Have a fun, entertaining game where you win, and follow that up with a loss. That’s been the cycle for the San Francisco 49ers since late September. A myriad of injuries on both sides of the ball have led to Kyle Shanahan and Robert Saleh being over-reliant on players who have no business playing meaningful […]
On November 10th in 1985, Flyers goalie Pelle Lindbergh crashed his Porsche into a wall at 5:37am returning from an evening of team celebration with a blood alcohol level of .24%. The 26 year-old Vezina winner never regained consciousness and was removed from life support the next day upon his father's arrival from Sweden. Despite his death, the popular Swede topped fan voting for the 1986 NHL
On Monday, Notre Dame released its depth charts for the upcoming game against the Pitt Panthers. The list of injuries is starting to pile up, but the number of players not available at all this week is at six. Obviously — we should know more about the status of those listed as questionable after practice […]
On November 10th in 2010, New Jersey Devils star forward Ilya Kovalchuk fabulously flubbed a fourth round shootout attempt against Jhonas Enroth giving the Buffalo Sabres a 5-4 victory in Lindy Ruff's 1,000th game behind the Buffalo bench. The $100 million dollar man's miscue sealed his squad's fate as the league's worst through the first fifth of the NHL's 93rd offering, with only 4 wins and 10
In 2024, the Braves used a journeyman reliever named Jimmy Herget for a grand total of eight appearances and 12 1/3 innings. In 2025, the Braves used a journeyman reliever named Kevin Herget for a grand total of one appearance and one inning. In 2026, maybe they won’t use any Hergets, or maybe they’ll hire […]
