David Lesky digs into the hire of Mike McFerran as assistant pitching coach. Early in the interview, he says that being a good pitcher comes to one thing and it’s how to consistently get outs. He’s very big on a pitcher being who he is. For McFerran, he believes that his job is to help […]
Let’s start the breakdown for the New Orleans Saints Sunday matchup against the Miami Dolphins! OT Kelvin Banks Contrary to many social media posts, Kelvin Banks did well against the Falcons.

Despite no national analysts really giving them a chance, the Chicago Bears are (9-3) following a thoroughly dominant 24-15 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles in front of a hostile crowd on Black Friday. For the majority of four quarters, the Bears dominated the play and dictated the pace. That’s not something even the most optimistic […]

New San Diego Padres Manager Craig Stammen made his first moves as the team’s skipper by selecting Randy Knorr and Steven Souza Jr. as the new bench coach and hitting coach respectively. Neither name is all that familiar to Padres fans, but they are familiar to Stammen. One is a long-time coach and former player […]
The Pittsburgh Pirates are rumored to be spending this offseason. And while we have seen lots of reports around, we’re still waiting to see if anything materializes.

We here at Dawgs By Nature and all of the NFL draft community spend a lot of time focused on the first round of NFL drafts. With the Cleveland Browns having two picks in the first round of the 2026 NFL draft, it makes a little more sense, but we often hear from readers that […]
Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving, or a good week at the very least, if you don’t celebrate the holiday. I did what I do best: eat. And I have plenty of leftovers to get me through the weekend. I also have a mailbag full of questions from you to get through. Thanks again to […]
Well, this is definitely the biggest Vanderbilt-Tennessee game in a long time. Vanderbilt heads to Knoxville today looking for its first win over the Vols since 2018 — and looking for its first ten-win season in school history, along with possibly maybe a playoff berth?

Most Duke fans watched the win over Arkansas and probably had some fairly universal reactions: 1) we won. Yay! 2) Day-um Boozer! and 3) take that Calipari. Old habits die hard.

When people discuss the proud history and tradition of college football, they often point to games like Army-Navy, Harvard-Yale, and Ohio St-Michigan. I would argue that Washington-Oregon belongs in that same top tier of bitter, storied rivalries. The Huskies and Ducks will meet for the 118th time on Saturday. The Dawgs lead the all-time series […]
Good things come to those who wait. Whether signing a 33-year-old Eric Kendricks can be classified as a good thing is open for debate. However, the veteran linebacker’s arrival on the practice squad is a case of patience paying off for the 49ers. The 49ers had an agreement to sign Kendricks last offseason, only for […]
