It may only be from wins against the Nets and Wizards, but the Sixers have still won two of their last three games. It’s an improvement at least after the recent slump of losses and injury woes, and Tyrese Maxey even got to ease off from heavy minutes with only 28 in Tuesday’s win against […]

While no one has said as much, this could potentially be Ovechkin’s final season in the NHL, which means this could be his final visit to San Jose. Ovechkin has already broken Wayne Gretzky’s goal-scoring record and has tacked on several more since then. He’s now at 909 goals and 1,650 points in his career. His team is doing pretty well this s...
The San Francisco 49ers are heading into their late Week 14 bye week after a 26-8 win over the Cleveland Browns this past weekend, which improved their record to 9-4. That put them just a half-game back of both the NFC West and the No. 1 seed in the NFC with five weeks left. With […]

Good morning everyone! For today’s Season In Review we picked right-handed reliever Justin Sterner for the deep dive. It was a bit of a roller coaster season for the rookie, with lots of highs and a few lows in his first full season as a major leaguer. But overall not a terrible first year with […]
I’m going to go through the players on the Contemporary Baseball Era Player ballot over the next couple of days, because they are voting on the weekend. Jeff Kent had his 10 tries on the regular ballot, his last one in 2023. He was on 46.5% of the Writers’ ballots, that time, the high point […]
