Christian Mbilli won’t need another win to elevate his WBC interim super middleweight title to the real thing, as Mauricio Sulaiman and co. held an event today to announce his ascension. They had previously ordered Mbilli (29-0-1, 24 KO), who ran over Maciej Sulecki for the belt last June before defending it in a punishing […]
Today’s new word learned while reading too much stuff during breakfast: Anvilicious. Which I am using to describe “having an experience so harsh so vile that it’s like being hit with extreme prejudice over the head with an anvil.” Like watching the Cardinals getting drawn and quartered at Cameron Indoor as if Mel Gibson in […]
Burly right-hander Jose Franco claimed the #11 spot in this year’s Community Prospect Rankings, and now we head into the voting for spot #12. Per usual, here’s a link to the Google Form where you can vote, though it should be embedded at the end of the list if you’d rater read first and then […]

Fun video today from Eric Sim, a former Giants minor leaguer who has since made a name for himself in the baseball-connected content world.
For example, Sim put together a video on what it’s like to train with new Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman for a day. Surprise! Bregman works really hard on his training every day!
Primarily, it’s just entertaining to watch, but it does also give you a little behind-the-scenes look at what someone like Alex Bregman is doing to stay in top baseball...
The New York Yankees have claimed pitcher Dom Hamel on waivers from the Texas Rangers, it was announced today. The Rangers had designated Hamel for assignment to make room on the 40 man roster for newly signed reliever Jakob Junis. If you aren’t familiar with Dom Hamel, that’s understandable. The Rangers claimed him on waivers […]

Ahead of Tuesday’s game, Craig Berube discussed the 50th anniversary of Darryl Sittler’s 10-point game, starting Joseph Woll, and the challenge against the Buffalo Sabres. Darryl Sittler and Tiger Williams both spoke with you and the team today. Knowing your playing-day tendencies, was Tiger the more thrilling experience for you? Berube: Haha, no, it was […]

Lineups Fiorentina (4-3-3): Christensen; Balbo, Ranieri, Comuzzo, Fortini; Bresciani, Fagioli, Ndour; Fazzini, Piccoli, Harrison Como (4-2-3-1): Butez; Moreno, Diego Carlos, Ramón, van der […]
With Flyers coach Rick Tocchet critcizing him last night, and in a bit of a funk offensively, has winger Trevor Zegras hit the wall this season? And if so, why?
It was a three-game week for the Bakersfield Condors and some Edmonton Oilers prospects, and they came out with one win. That hasn’t happened much lately as the back-to-back losses are the first losing streak for the Condors since the calendar changed to 2026. Before the back-to-back losses, the Condors were on a 10-game point…
The Super Bowl is almost here, but for fans of the 30 NFL teams not participating in that game, the 2026 offseason is already underway. Coaching changes are in full swing, and in just a few weeks the big events that kick off free agency and NFL Draft preparations will take place. But exactly when […]
There is only a single game left in the NFL season as the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots will face off in Super Bowl LX, but as soon as it is done every single team will be squarely focused on getting to next year’s version of the game of all games. For now that […]
1. I’ll admit, I’ve repeatedly cast side-eye at the Seattle Seahawks’ chances of winning it all because I simply couldn’t get behind trusting Sam Darnold, despite his come-up from his early days with the New York Jets. His mid-season spluttering seemed to justify that skepticism, and thrashing a beat-up 49ers defense in the Divisional Round […]
For the first time in a decade, the Kansas City Chiefs are spending January off the field after finishing 2025 at 6-11 and failing to make the playoffs for the first time since 2014.

Update 1/27/2026: Rumored Drake Maye injury blown out of proportion, says Mike Vrabel After not directly addressing his quarterback’s injury status on Tuesday morning, Mike Vrabel had a chance to clarify his comments during a press conference at Gillette Stadium later that day. He did remain somewhat vague, but did acknowledge that the story about […]
Getting you set up for tonight’s Jets game.
By most measures, the Portland Trail Blazers have had a successful season. They carry a record close to .500 after enduring a mammoth list of injuries. They’re operating without a point guard and they shoot terribly but they still manage middle-of-the-road offensive production. Their defense is decent, their rebounding good. 2025-26 probably won’t go down […]
The acting bug is in the air for the former Zags. Not too long ago, it was Gonzaga legend Jeremy Pargo who expanded his resume to writing, producing, and starring in “The Final Play” movie. The romantic comedy was created by his own production company, Pargo Productions, and can be viewed on Amazon Prime Video […]
