Caleb Williams Stat Tracker Week 15

I skipped this update last week. The Green Bay game wasn’t particularly great stats wise (186 yards, 2 TDs) but it’s one of those things that no one really likes to look at the stats after a tough loss anyway. After Sunday’s blowout win against the Browns, Caleb’s 242 yards puts him over 3,000 on […]

The Good, Bad, and Ugly of the Trail Blazers Season So Far

The Portland Trail Blazers are almost exactly one-third of the way through their 2025-26 regular season schedule. A 10-16 record doesn’t look as good as they’d hoped at this point in the season, but injuries have played a part, and six games under .500 isn’t an insurmountable deficit. Still, it’s fair to call the beginning […]

Cubs Still Being Attached to Tatsuya Imai and Michael King – What’s the Appetite for Risk?

Outside of a stray Zac Gallen report that initially inadvertently reported a signing , I would say the two free agent starting pitchers who’ve been most seriously linked to the Chicago Cubs this offseason are Japanese ace Tatsuya Imai and outgoing Padres righty Michael King. Each offers significant upside, but comes with his own significant risk (for Imai, it’s the transition to MLB; for King, it’s his robust injury history). Each also has a contract projection that is a little tough to peg, a...

Jeremiyah Love and Leonard Moore looking to make the consensus All-American jump to UNANIMOUS

The third All-American team that counts toward the “consensus” and “unanimous” selections just came out on Tuesday with the release of the AFCA All-American Team. Both Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love and cornerback Leonard Moore were honored with first team selections on the AFCA team, to go along with their first team selections on […]

Open trade season means open mailbag time

I make no secret about the fact that I love transaction season. Trades are exciting! Trade rumors and speculation is fun because there’s always the hope of something great happening. That doesn’t mean I’m very good at trade ideas. I don’t have delusions of grandeur or refer to myself as the Picasso of the Trade […]

Carl Grundstrom’s contributions should force Flyers to re-think fourth line

Since the Flyers opened the season, it feels like they’ve managed to shuffle their forward line combinations once a week. That’s not exactly shocking, given that Rick Tocchet has been trying to get a look at as many new units as possible to see what works in his first year as head coach, but it has been a frequent occurrence nonetheless.  This morning, ahead of their matchup against the Canadiens, the lines got tossed in the blender once again following back-to-back shootout losses to the...

Washington Nationals sign crafty lefty Foster Griffin from Japan

Paul Toboni has made his first free agent signing as Washington Nationals President of Baseball Operations and it is an outside the box move. He signed Foster Griffin to a 1-year $5.5 million deal. If you have not heard of him, I do not blame you. Griffin has spent the last three years in Japan […]

Miami Dolphins considering quarterback change

The Miami Dolphins traveled to Pittsburgh to play the Steelers on Monday Night Football in week fifteen only to be embarrassed by their opponents to the tune of a 28-15 final score that really wasn’t fully indicative of how poorly the team played. One player whose warts were on display for the entire world to […]

The Daily Bee: Bust-Up Exposes Developing Crisis at Dortmund

Apparently there is just one game left before the winter break? This crept up on me. I only noticed when I went to put myself down for some of the match coverage in the coming weeks and realised we have just one more game before the Bundesliga takes a month-long break. I guess we better […]
