When the lights shine brightest, what will we make of the 2025-26 Colorado Buffaloes? The Buffs were picked 15th in the preseason poll, second worst in the league, but could they punch above their weight in a heavy-fisted conference slate? And after going 3-7 at home last year, can this team be feisty at home, […]

It wasn’t all that long ago when Red Sox fans were dreaming of Vlad Guerrero, Jr. hitting after Rafael Devers in the lineup, when Red Sox Twitter was awash in photoshops of Vladdy, Raffy, and Juan Soto (Juanny?) all wearing the red ‘B’. Alas, that’s not what fate (or Fenway Sports Group) had in store […]

After three strong preseason showings, the blue and orange bloom faded from the rose in the Knicks’ last scrimmage. That was an ugly loss to the Washington Wizards, in which both teams fielded their second units, and our heroes were woefully outmatched.

It’s Lightning vs. Red Wings tonight at Little Caesars Arena. The Wings come into the game with a three-game win streak. It appears that John Gibson will get a shot at redemption. Really hope the team can play like they have been the last few games. Gibson needs to get his legs under him. It’s a long season and Cam Talbot is 38 years old. For what it’s worth, Mason Appleton skated with Dylan Larkin and Emmitt Finnie at practice on Thursday. A sign that perhaps Lucas Raymond is still heali...

The newcomer could be a bigger addition than many of us expected. We’ve all heard it before, preseason hype about a player we haven’t even seen play a single second for our favorite team.

So… is it time to overreact, Bills Mafia? No, but go on if you must. The Buffalo Bills aren’t very good right now, held up only by the four wins they stole from teams that are now a combined 3-21 on the season. Even their Week 1 win against the Baltimore Ravens comes with an […]

Under Mike Elias, the Orioles are yet to invest major assets into big league pitching. Yes, they made the trade for Corbin Burnes heading into 2024, and they have ponied up some cash for one-year free agent deals, but those are relatively low stakes in the modern game. Pair that with a draft strategy that […]
