Of the non-offensive lineman positions on offense, tight end is probably the Packers’ lowest priority in this spring’s draft. As an enthusiast of the position, it pains me to say, but it’s true. The Packers simply need tight ends less than they do pretty much anything else. Backup quarterback is unsettled, and running back and […]
With Harry Maguire and Lisandro Martinez unavailable due to dubious red cards and Matthijs de Ligt unavailable due to injury, Leny Yoro and Ayden Heaven look set to start the next league game. The youngsters have played their fair share of games, but have never started a game together. This would be a big test […]
That’s it, we know who the Los Angeles Rams are drafting with their first two picks in next week’s NFL Draft because Mel Kiper said so. Kiper said the Rams will take Makai Lemon and follow that up with Josiah Trotter. So, it is written (by Kiper), so it is done. That’s the bottom line. […]
Back-to-back hat tricks, a goalie fight, and the Islanders doing Islanders things. The Ombudsman has the receipts on everything Joe and Chip got right—and wrong—this week.
And just like that, the 2025-26 NBA regular season has come to an end. It’s been one of the weirder years in league history. We started with a tree-planting controversy in pre-season, to the tanking and 65-game rule discourse hitting overdrive, and most recently, the entire Wizards organization almost got cancelled for a misinterpreted April […]
The Charlotte Hornets beat Miami in a highly entertaining play-in game the other night, and it sparked a ton of conversation. Some of the themes: Kon Knueppel blew the Rookie of the Year race, the Hornets are in big trouble, and one more we’ll get to in a minute. The Rookie of the Year business […]

The whole thing is wildly entertaining as an outside observers to watch the […]
After a horrible 2025-26 season, the Vancouver Canucks should continue to make changes to their roster during the summer. Nils Hoglander could be a trade candidate to watch from the Canucks, as he has come up in the rumor mill before and could use a change of scenery. Because of this, let's look at three teams that could target Hoglander during the offseason. Pittsburgh Penguins The Penguins have made it clear that they are not afraid to take chances on young players who need fresh start...
After falling short of the NCAA Tournament in year one, Indiana men’s basketball head coach Darian DeVries knew that he’d have to make some adjustments. One of the major issues with last year’s roster is that DeVries recruited too many guys from the lower levels of the sport, many of whom struggled to produce at […]
Unless you’ve been able to live online to keep up with the blistering pace of the transfer portal, you may have missed the fact that Indiana men’s basketball now has six (6!) commitments from the transfer portal, less than a week after it officially opened. So far, Darian DeVries has landed commitments from: Class standing […]
Everyone loves the MLB Draft, right? It’s April, which means it’s time to cover the second edition of Baseball America’s Mock Draft season! Yes, it’s irresponsibly early, and yes, here I am anyways. As a reminder, the MLB Draft is scheduled for July 11th and 12th. It recently got moved to the All Star Break […]
THE SKINNY Drew Allar came to Penn State as one of the most prized recruits in program history, ranked as the top quarterback in the 2022 class and third-nest overall prospect. He served as backup to senior Sean Clifford as a true freshman, quickly burning his redshirt and gaining key experience while appearing in 11 […]
Since 2005, every April 15th has been designated as Jackie Robinson Day across all of MLB. It of course has special meaning to the Los Angeles Dodgers, the team for which he debuted in 1947. Since the statue of Jackie Robinson was installed in 2017, Manager Dav Roberts has held a moment of celebration and […]
As Liverpool limp towards the end of the 2025-26 season, now out of Europe with no shot at silverware and facing a difficult task of finishing in the top five and so qualifying for next season’s Champions League, focus shifts to what comes next. For many, head coach Arne Slot’s position is tenuous at best. […]

Last month during a pregame ceremony, Tony Pluta was inducted into the Legends Plaza Wall of Fame located inside Hi Corbett Field. The placard that went up lists 2023-25, the seasons Pluta has played for Arizona. But if things go as hoped, that banner will need to get updated. Pluta confirmed Wednesday he plans to […]
This has been a very interesting season already. Things have gone badly, specifically the pitching, but the “important” parts of the team have mostly been on track. Jordan Walker appears to have broken out, JJ Wetherholt is as advertised if not frankly better with his defensive results, and the late inning combo of Riley O’Brien […]

Nikhil focuses players who can impact the […]
