The relationship between the Los Angeles Rams and aging receivers is a troubling one. Allen, Woods, and Kupp were 28 at the time of their signing. Adams was 32. It’s clear the Rams need a new number two receiver this offseason. At the same time, alarm bells should be ringing and paying top dollar to […]
Sean McVay’s coaching tree has grown so many branches that now he’s in the full grips of his own branches like one of those evil trees from The Evil Dead. Every NFC West team now has a strong connection to McVay: Peetz, who was on McVay’s staff from 2022-2023, was passed over for the open […]
As we head into Gameweeks 27 to 32, looking at team fixtures can help you make smart FPL decisions. Some teams have easier matches where their players can score points consistently, while others face tough games that make it harder to get returns. In this article, we highlight five teams to focus on and five […]
FanGraphs on Monday put out its top prospects in baseball, with five Dodgers ranked in the top 110 entering the 2026. Eric Longenhagen, Brendan Gawlowski, and James Fegan wrote up the prospects, a list that was expanded from 100 to 110 to account for the prospects with a Future Value rating of 50 (on the […]
Three days ago, ESPN published a tongue-in-cheek article called “Why Your Team Didn’t Do What You Wanted This Winter.” In a spectrum that ran Dodgers-to-Rockies, the Mariners were thankfully much closer to the Dodgers side of things, but Bradford Doolittle, the author, did question why the Mariners didn’t get another lefty bullpen arm to help […]
The locker room at Camelback Ranch is quite spacious, but the Dodgers are testing its capacity this spring training. The latest addition is infielder Santiago Espinal, who was signed to a minor league contract with a non-roster invitation to spring training, per the various beat reporters on site in Arizona. Espinal makes 34 Dodgers non-roster […]
At All-Star Weekend, LeBron James refused to answer questions about his basketball future. That hasn’t stopped the rest of the NBA from speculating about what’s next for King James, though. Will he retire after this season? Will he re-sign with the Lakers? Or will he head back home to Cleveland and spent one last year […]
After a busy Dodgers offseason, we have a pretty idea of what their roster will eventually look like. But the active roster over the 186 days of a major league regular season is an ever-changing organism. The Dodgers last year used 62 players, for instance, including 40 pitchers, both the most in franchise history. If […]
Six and a half minutes remained in the second quarter of a dog fight between the Lakers and a shorthanded Dallas Mavericks team. With a timeout, head coach J.J. Redick calls for a switch in their defense from traditional man coverage to zone, leading to three straight stops and pushing a six-point lead to a […]
It is NBA gospel to believe that Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, shining stars as they were in the East (and West), enabled the league to rise into the firmament, to become the Goliath it has since become. Upon their arrival in 1979, they polished pro basketball’s profile, burying its sordid, drug-addled past and paving the way for […]
This past Sunday, NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported that the Chargers are hiring former Steelers outside linebackers coach Denzel Martin to be their new assistant linebackers coach under Sean Spence. Martin has been with Pittsburgh under Mike Tomlin since the 2016 season and has worked with notable players such as T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, and […]
If this article is your first time hearing of Julian Fernández, I can’t blame you. The 30-year-old right-handed reliever was acquired in August off waivers from the Dodgers, and in 12.2 innings pitched with the Rochester Red Wings, he posted a 7.82 ERA and 5.47 FIP. He made his Nationals debut at the end of […]
Harrison Mevis filled in during the 2025 season to become the Los Angeles Rams kicker out of necessity, and he answered the call by going 12-13 on field goals (plus 6-6 in the postseason) and a clean 39-39 on extra points. Not bad for a “fill-in”. Mevis’s rise with the Rams is an interesting one, […]
After digesting that Ben Rortvedt will now join fellow former Dodgers catcher Austin Barnes, a non-roster invitee, in New York Mets spring training camp, here are more baseball stories to begin your week. Roki Sasaki faced hitters, including Hyeseong Kim, on Sunday at Camelback Ranch, as he begins building toward his second year in the […]
49ers reportedly hiring Jerry Gray for key defensive coach role “Gray brings decades of NFL experience as both a player and coach.

The NBA found some (unexpected?) success with its new All-Star format on Sunday, even if it ended in a bit of a dud. Luka Dončić and LeBron James took part in the three-team, USA vs. World format for the 2026 NBA All-Star Game which saw a trio of really exciting games before an underwhelming championship […]

The Los Angeles Rams are big fans of Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson, possibly the second player at his position to get drafted in April, according to ESPN’s Louis Riddick. “I know they like Ty Simpson and his skillset and his makeup is exactly what they’re looking for,” said Riddick over the weekend. Should the Rams […]
The itinerant offseason of Ben Rortvedt continued on Sunday, as the catcher was claimed off waivers by the Mets, and a case of unfortunate timing for the Dodgers. After September injuries to both Will Smith and Dalton Rushing, the Dodgers liked trade deadline acquisition Rortvedt enough to start him 19 times in 25 games down […]
Another former Steelers coach has found a new NFL team after not being retained on Mike McCarthy’s Pittsburgh staff.
