Ranking the Top 10 Sports Cinderellas of All Time

The Indiana Hoosiers entered the 2025 college football season with a level of expectation unseen across their decades of futility. But even after they finished 11-2 in their first year under head coach Curt Cignetti in 2024, a national championship run still felt out of reach.

While they note he’s not...

Nashville Predators draft D Cameron Reid 21st overall

The Preds traded the 23rd and 67th picks to the Ottawa Senators to move up and draft 21st, where they selected defender Cameron Reid, who may have fallen a little to get there — many scouting reports had him ranked a few places higher.

The scouting report at ElitePro...

Marie Greyhounds last season, and represented Canada at the WJC, wearing an A for both teams. Almost every scouting organization had him set to go in the first half of the first round, and although he came off the board a little earlier than expected, the Preds remain in dire need of a strong center. He was described by Elite Prospects as a physical, hard-hitti...

Monday Quickie - closing in

 on the worst "trying" team in baseball The Rockies, despite sweeping the Nats, are historically bad.  They are on pace for 37 wins.  There literally should be calls from the game to replace the owner because things are so non-competitive in Denver.  The White Sox are in a similar spot, Reinsdorf aging into a worse version of himself as owner often do stuck with a "back in my day we didn't pay players so much" mentality, trying to squeeze every last dollar from the team for...
