There is an old saying in hockey that if you don’t ask, you don’t get. Kent Hughes has never struck me as a general manager who is afraid to pick up the phone, even if the answer is likely to be “no”. In fact, he has reportedly been calling about players considered unavailable, in hope […] The post Trade Targets Still Worth Pursuing For The Canadiens appeared first on The Sick Podcast .
We all got pretty excited about Dylan Dodd a few years ago. Selected in the third round of the 2021 draft, the lefty made a few appearances later in the year before blitzing through the minors in 2022, getting all the way to Triple-A. Due to an injury to Kyle Wright, his Spring Training competition […]
When the schedule was released, all eyes focused on the first 20 games. At first glance, it looked….difficult. Again. Last season, the Raptors had a rough schedule to start the season and ended the first 20 games with only 5 wins. The season prior — Darko Rajakovic’s first with the team — Toronto managed to […]
Evaluating a baseball manager is an extremely difficulty proposition for us on the outside (and probably difficult on the inside as well). Ned Yost was an idiot, until he was a baseball whisperer. I read and listened to Los Angeles Dodgers fans lambast manager Dave Roberts for years, but he’s still there and winning World […]
2025 In A Discarded-On-The-Dugout-Floor Nutshell He flashed elite skills behind the plate but a big drop off in offensive production leaves some question marks despite an excellent season. The Good You can cherry pick some stats here, but Carlos Narváez was one of the best defensive catchers in the Majors in 2025. Period. His 32 […]
Indiana (5-0, 0-0 Big Ten) is set to take on Lindenwood (5-1, 0-0 Big 12) on Tuesday night at Simon Skjodt Assembly Hall in Bloomington, Indiana. The Hoosiers are coming off of two less-than-ideal performances in buy games following three straight incredible showings on offense to open the season. Indiana has struggled shooting the ball […]
And there was one. “Demoralizing” is probably too strong of a word to put on this specific Mizzou Football season. After all, there’s still a very real possibility that the Tigers end up winning 9 games, including a bowl, which would’ve been a better-than-average year under Gary Pinkel and would’ve beaten even the best year […]
Nebraska wins a championship, Purdue stuffs Tech in a locker, and all the other news that’s fit to print. Good morning. Lots of Big Ten hoops to get to, since Rutgers—and boy do we have more on them in a second—is going to get flattened by Tennessee in about an hour. The Weekend That Was […]
After a seven-season run that included first-place MVP votes, a batting title, career-highs, sub-replacement-level showings, and an eventual midseason release, DJ LeMahieu’s tenure with the Yankees officially came to a close in 2025. The year prior was the real rock-bottom for the three-time All-Star, but ‘25 marked a second straight season in which LeMahieu was […]

Each week, we’ll take a look at what other college football media sites are saying about the Syracuse Orange. Let’s see what they are saying after the Orange’s blowout loss at Notre Dame… Syracuse.Com Football reporter Javon Edmonds drops Syracuse behind BC this week. ESPN In this week’s SP+ rankings Syracuse is down 17 spots to 118th between […]
Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel met with the South Florida media on Monday morning and addressed various injury questions surrounding his ball club. While Miami got good news regarding right tackle Austin Jackson — who should be back in the lineup soon — another injured offensive lineman did not get the same vote of […]
Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller missed the team’s first three games this year with a hip injury before exploding back into the NFL – ending a one-year retirement – with 10 receptions on 12 targets for 117 yards and four touchdowns in three games. During his fourth game, however, a pectoral injury landed him […]
The Texas Rangers have officially traded Marcus Semien to the New York Mets for Brandon Nimmo and cash considerations, the team announced this morning. And with that, the deal is done. I offered up some thoughts on the deal earlier this morning, though I admit I’m still having a hard time wrapping my head around […]
This year is Mark Buehrle’s sixth time on the ballot. His vote started at 11.0%, then 5.8%, 10.8%, 8.3% and back to 11.4% last year. It doesn’t look like his numbers are going to grow. Buehrle is one of the most interesting choices on the list. Mark was never the best pitcher in the game. […]
The Tennessee Titans were defeated 30-24 in an exciting showing by the Seattle Seahawks in Sunday’s Week 12 game. Rookie quarterback Cam Ward stole the show, but he wasn’t the only Titans rookie to continue trending in the right direction. Safety Kevin Winston Jr. and cornerback Marcus Harris also continued to impress on defense. Harris […]
Where did all the feelings go? What about that happy glow? Was that so long ago, when we were first in love? -Neil Young, Mr. Disappointment When J.J. McCarthy hit Jalen Nailor on a 3rd-and-5 to seal a victory at Ford Field over the Detroit Lions, it really felt like the Minnesota Vikings had finally […]
The Cardiac Bears strike again! Although most headlines about this game focused on the status of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback situation, history told us it would be a close game until the end. Well, history did not lead us astray, even if some fans wish the Bears would develop a better habit for closing out […]
It’s funny how a single result can almost completely reframe a situation, and a narrative. Prior to Everton’s 2-0 win over Fulham, before the third – and thankfully, last until March – international break of the season, the team was without a victory in three, and had won just once from eight across all competitions. […]
The Vancouver Canucks are not having a good season, but injuries to key players or positions have really hurt them. They have tried to recover and bring some pieces in at center, but those pieces aren't great and haven't panned out so far. It is too early to properly judge David Kampf, but he is slotted in as the second line center. That is too high in the lineup, however you look at it. As well, Lukas Reichel hasn't been what was expected. Elliotte Friedman said, "We know they don't want to t...
On Friday, ahead of the brutal North London Derby defeat, Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank did his usual weekly news conference, and the session included some updates on his squad’s injury/fitness situation. Specifically, Frank spoke about Kota Takai (thigh), Ben Davies (thigh) and Dominic Solanke (ankle). All are moving closer towards returning to action, but […] The post Tottenham Team News at PSG: Kota Takai, Ben Davies, Dominic Solanke appeared first on The Sports Bank .
The newest episode of TBMR is out now! In this episode, Andrew and Arnav analyze the state of Rutgers football after their 42-9 loss to No.1 Ohio State, then discuss Rutgers men’s basketball following their 67-54 defeat to Central Connecticut State. The episode also includes a brief preview of the Penn State game, a look […]
It is snowing. Real snow. Thankfully I don’t have to leave the house for a couple of hours. I don’t know how it is anywhere else, but the drivers here have all summer to forget how to drive in the snow. Then the first snow of the year happens, and it is like we don’t […]
Wednesday night, four of us women from the South Side Sox staff had the chance to step inside a different kind of ballpark experience. It was built not on box scores or bullpen decisions, but on stories, representation, and the women helping push the sports world forward. The Chicago White Sox hosted the latest installment […]
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill suffered a catastrophic knee injury earlier this season during Miami’s week four Monday Night Football victory over division rivals, the New York Jets. After undergoing surgery, Hill’s 2025 season ended prematurely, as the 31-year-old was placed on season-ending injured reserve. On Monday morning, Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, spoke with […]
