In less than 24 hours, the Patriots and Seahawks will duke it out in Super Bowl LX. As you probably have heard, it is not the first time the two teams meet each other on the game’s biggest stage: they already squared off in Super Bowl XLIX, 11 years ago. Much has been said and […]
According to a report by The Guardian’s Tom Garry, forward Catarina Macario has declined a contract extension at Chelsea. It was also announced that she was left off the upcoming UEFA Women’s Champions League (UWCL) knockout stages. The USWNT forward is one of the biggest names in football and is attracting interest from all over […]
Terrance Gore was known as one of the fastest men in baseball. He played in 14 games for the Cubs in 2018, mostly as a pinch-runner, and also appeared in the Wild Card Game that year against the Rockies. He was still in MLB as recently as 2022, with the Mets. Today, I have sad […]
Now that the 2026 signing day is past (although UW didn’t add any scholarship players this week), the roster is mostly set for the 2026 season. Last year I put together a list of 10 goals for UW football for 2025. (https://www.uwdawgpound.com/2025/2/6/24360368/uw-football-goals-for-2025) UW did well, achieving 8 out of 10 of the goals. (https://www.uwdawgpound.com/washington-football/72817/reviewing-the-2025-uw-football-goals) Because […]
That was okay. The back-to-back SEC champion #3 LSU gymnastics team picked up an easy win over #14 Penn State 197.525-196.125 in the PMAC Friday. A Krewe of Athena-impacted 11,516 fans piled into the building to watch a solid performance, but LSU had moments that weren’t as good as they have been in the past. […]
Fresh off a week layoff, the Wisconsin Badgers are traveling to Assembly Hall to face the Indiana Hoosiers on Saturday. Tip-off is set for 11:00 a.m. on FOX, with the Hoosiers being 4.5-point underdogs. Wisconsin has been a winner in seven of its last eight games, including a 92-82 win over the Ohio State Buckeyes […]
With the 2026 all-star showcase games finished, all those notes and scribbled thoughts can be penciled in to update draft boards. As always, there were a number of surprise risers and fallers and just as many subjective opinions on who they were. One data point that is less subjective is speed and in this day […]
Let’s get that elusive third straight win. Go Cards.
Not quite sure what we’ve done to deserve this, but according to the game notes, ex-UNC forward John Henson is on the call for this game. The kids won’t know who he is but I need my fellow millennials in the building to boo this man. Hokies vs. Wolfpack Tip time: Noon ET TV: The […]
Welcome to The Daily Merengue — a place where you can feel free to discuss all things football. Do not be alarmed by the overt RMCF bias. It’s in the name! Shoutout to the Mods who do a fantastic job, Valyrian Steel, Ezek XI, KungFuZizou, NeRObutBlanco, Felipejack, and Juninho. MATCH DAY Pray for Arbeloa. Seems […]
With the No. 25 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the chances the Bears acquire a blue-chip prospect are pretty slim. That’s not at all to say that they can’t end up with a blue-chip player with that pick. Rather, we’re talking about an extremely highly-touted prospect heading into the draft. There’s a difference between […]
Well, in case you didn’t know, Mike Vrabel used to be the coach of the Tennessee Titans. Amy Adams Strunk fired him, and now, in his first year with the New England Patriots, he has taken his team to the Super Bowl. It appears that 79% of us will be rooting against him. Are you […]
Bret Bielema has some spots to fill on his coaching staff. He filled one of them on Friday with Jared Elliott. Elliott served as tight ends coach at New Mexico last year, and he’ll serve in the same position on the Illini staff in 2026. The program said Elliott has served as a college coach […]
For the third time in six seasons, the Fighting Illini football team will have a new defensive coordinator. Aaron Henry accepted the Co-Defensive Coordinator/Secondary coach position at the University of Notre Dame. Henry was promoted to the Defensive Coordinator position when Ryan Walters left to become the Head Coach of Purdue in 2023. Henry’s tenure […]

Nobody’s going to argue that Matthew Golden had a statistically dominant rookie season, or even a particularly noteworthy one. 29 catches for 361 yards isn’t going to turn a lot of heads, no matter how you slice it. But Golden was great for the Packers in at least one significant area: he consistently came up […]
It’s been quiet. Too quiet. Even if we don’t know of any lingering injuries outside of Addy Brown’s absence, I don’t think anyone ever complains about some extra days off. Following a four game win streak, a now rested Iowa State squad prepares for their first of two legs in the state of Utah, taking […]
On January 28th, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman addressed the media after Cody Bellinger’s return to the Bronx became official. When inevitably asked about the Yankees deciding to essentially bring back the same roster that lost the AL East and the ALDS to the Blue Jays in 2025, he said that this wasn’t the case: […]
The Cleveland Browns will have a new head coach on the sidelines for the 2026 season. Todd Monken, who was with the team as an offensive coordinator in 2019, left the team for the University of Georgia to be that team’s offensive coordinator. He spent two years with the Bulldogs before returning to the NFL […]
When the Cleveland Browns first hired Kevin Stefanski back in 2020, they envisioned a hard-running back-driven offense similar to his Minnesota Vikings offensive attack that he had displayed. And in several years, the Browns run game was dominant, highlighted by the talents of Nick Chubb. But the quarterback situation never became solved under Stefanski. Turnover […]
The Super Bowl is right around the corner and there’s no better way to get involved than on the FanDuel Sportsbook. As the Patriots offense will look to move the ball against a top-ranked defense, New England’s defense will look to stay red-hot against Sam Darnold and the Seahawks’ offense. If they are able to […]
The New England Patriots are in the Super Bowl. That sentence makes my stomach drop. How many times have we heard that line over the last two decades? Nine. That’s how many. After Tom Brady moved on and Bill Belichick traded the NFL out for college, I thought we were done. Unfortunately, that is not […]
Maryland men’s basketball is quickly starting to become a get-right opponent in the Big Ten. No. 12 Purdue had lost three straight games before playing Maryland. It won by 30 points, more than double the next-largest margin of victory in series history. Ohio State had lost three straight games on the road. It won by […]
Happy Saturday one and all. The Arizona Cardinals and the rest of the NFL are preparing for Super Bowl LX, even though it seems incredibly underwhelming compared to years past. For the Cardinals, it is a worse case scenario. A division foe or a team that was awful and made one move at coach and […]
In the 1988 movie Cocktail, Tom Cruise’s character remarks that, “everything ends badly, otherwise it wouldn’t end.” That sentiment was on display Friday when the news came out that Jim Schwartz was resigning as defensive coordinator of the Cleveland Browns. It may have been inevitable, but there was still hope that Schwartz would be professional […]
