The transfer portal news cycle has slowed down for the Syracuse Orange, but clearly, there’s still more work to be done. To date, it’s been a busy period of roster movement for coach Felisha Legette-Jack and the program. Six players from the Orange’s NCAA Tournament squad entered the portal. The list includes two former starters […]
Manchester United will be bidding to take another huge step towards securing Champions League football for next season when they welcome Brentford to Old Trafford on Monday night. United can wrap up a place in the Top 4 with six points from their remaining five matches, and a win over the Bees would go a […]
The Cubs had a 5-2 week, which on its face is excellent. The way it ended, with two losses to the Dodgers after sweeping the Phillies and mounting a stirring comeback Friday in Los Angeles, wasn’t great. But this team is still showing that it can compete with anyone, even with multiple bullpen injuries. Here’s […]
Detroit Tigers infield prospect Hao-Yu Lee had a pretty rough spring. After a slow start in camp, he headed off to represent his native Taiwan in the World Baseball Classic. An oblique strain suffered before the tournament even began caused him to miss the opportunity, and then it lingered, costing him the first week of […]
Some players are remembered for elegance. Others are remembered for effort. Enos Slaughter belongs in the second category. He built a Hall of Fame career on aggression, hustle, and a willingness to play every moment at full speed, helping create the old baseball belief that the dirtier your jersey was by the end of the […]
For the most part this season, I’ve left the monologues out of the beginning of my Minor Lines because the performance of the farm seemed pretty separate from the uninspired performance of the Boston Red Sox. But, this recent plethora of changes directly influences the farm even though the result of the games themselves are […]
The conclusion of the 2026 NFL Draft is simply the start of the 2027 draft cycle for the football world, and Kansas City Chiefs fans are hoping the next first-round pick isn’t in as premium a position as this year’s. Even with quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ timeline to return up in the air, the Chiefs are […]
Baseball life is good for the Atlanta Braves at the moment. They’ve already put a gap between them and the rest of the division and the gap keeps growing between them and the Phillies and the Mets as well. The vibes are very positive and the week ahead for the Braves could be a promising […]
The final weekend of April brought lots of excitement in Mountain West baseball. The Silver State Series wrote its latest chapter of the rivalry, in which the Wolf Pack came out on top in dominant fashion. Air Force took to the skies and swept San Jose State in convincing fashion at home, while Washington State […]
Illinois’ old X-Factor is heading to Nashville. Wide receiver and return specialist Hank Beatty is going to get his shot in the NFL, as he signs an undrafted free agent deal with the Tennessee Titans. Beatty played four seasons at Illinois, ending his career as one of the best return men in program history. During […]
All season long, members of the Minnesota Timberwolves had insisted to the coaching staff that things would be different come playoff time. During a December back-to-back series in New Orleans, Anthony Edwards mentioned that the team was already looking forward to the playoffs. IN DECEMBER. Only four months to go! So, all included, surely game […]
Up next in our pop quiz series are the Bucks’ backup bigs: Bobby Portis, Jericho Sims, and Pete Nance. But while they share on-court positions, these guys play completely different games. How well do you know them? Season in a snippet Bobby Portis 67 GP, 24.2 MPG, 13.6 PPG, 6.4 RPG, 1.6 APG, 0.6 SPG, […]
While Virginia Cavaliers running back J’Mari Taylor was certainly hoping to have his name called in the 2026 NFL Draft, the former ’Hoo will still get his chance to earn an NFL roster spot this summer. Taylor, who earned First Team All-ACC honors in 2025, agreed to an undrafted free agent deal with the Jacksonville […]
Rams First Round Project The surprise of the first round of the NFL draft had to be the LA Rams selecting Ty Simpson on Thursday night. Drafting Alabama quarterback Ty Simpson with the 13th overall pick was not on my bingo card. Simpson walks into a room with the reigning MVP firmly in place and [...]
The 2026 NFL Draft is now complete. And while, surprisingly, not a single Virginia Cavalier had his name called throughout the 257 picks this year in Pittsburgh, we’ll still see plenty of former ’Hoos at NFL training camps this summer. Five members of last season’s defense signed undrafted free agent deals not long after the […]
The 2026 NFL Draft ended over the weekend, with the Miami Dolphins adding 13 rookies over the three-day selection process. The team is also working the phones to sign undrafted free agents, with that list growing as more players agree to head to South Florida. But, as soon as mock draft season ends for one […]
With Anthony Joshua set to return in July against Kristian Prenga, the big question is still about Joshua and Tyson Fury. And Joshua is strongly suggesting that Fury is his bigger plan still. “It’s no secret I’ve taken some time to consolidate and rebuild to be ready for stepping back in to the ring, and […]
The NFL draft concluded this past Saturday with the Commanders adding six new players to the team. Adam Peters entered the draft with just two top 100 picks and Washington didn’t make any trades, instead choosing to stand pat and pick at each selection. Below is my review of our selections followed by my grades […]
The 2026 NFL Draft concluded on Saturday, and even though the Miami Dolphins added thirteen new players via the selection process — and many more as undrafted free agents — that won’t stop the powers-that-be (or, you know… journalists) from proactively adding even more players via way-too-early 2027 NFL Draft mocks. One such mock came […]
For the past couple of weeks, both Sean Murphy and Spencer Strider have been busy on the farm getting in work via rehab assignments. While Strider may be closer to returning than Murphy is, one thing we know now is that they’ll be joined by a third Braves big leaguer who is working his way […]

Mats Zuccarello’s injury has quietly become one of the biggest reasons the Minnesota Wild’s first-round series has swung in the Dallas Stars’ favor. The Wild looked sharp in Game 1, but once Zuccarello exited the lineup, their power play lost its most important connector, and the offense became far...
On a recent bonus episode of New Heights with Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce, the brothers spoke with former Eagles (beloved) offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland. It’s one of the few interviews he’s done since leaving the organization, but he had some interesting insights to some of the offensive struggles from last season. “I think […]
Needing just four points this season to seal a Champions League berth for the next one, Manchester United welcome Brentford on Monday night at Old Trafford. The Red Devils have surged well under coach Michael Carrick as they now sit third in the league standings with 58 points across the board. Eight points separate them […]
Last week I made a lot out of this weekend’s baseball series with USC. Purdue went on the road needing a good weekend against the best team left on the schedule. Instead, it went 0-3 and is now on a four game losing streak. Here is the quick recap of the weekend: Friday: USC 4, […]
