The Hurricanes are in and ready to make some noise for the first time ever in the College Football Playoffs. Miami had a great regular season, despite going through adversity (like every team does in a season), and now finds itself competing for a national championship. Step one is to go into Kyle Field, the […]
Thanks again to BCB reader JayWent for this article suggestion. Kris Bubic has talent — he was a No. 1 pick (40th overall) in 2018 out of Stanford. If that date and school sounds familiar, it should, because Nico Hoerner was the Cubs’ No. 1 pick out of Stanford that year, thus Bubic and Hoerner […]
1,192 wins – if you had told me as a kid in the ‘90s that the Dallas Mavericks would stand second in regular-season wins from 2000 to 2025…I would not have believed it possible. The first embedded video in this post, on its face, feels like a celebration. It shows 1,192 regular-season wins across the […]
It might not be on the level of Tom Brady returning to New England to face off against Bill Belichick, but this week will see another reunion between two successful former collaborators. Mike Vrabel and Derrick Henry, who spent six seasons together in Tennessee, will square off on Sunday night when the Patriots take on […]
Amidst an uptick in rumours suggesting Manchester City and Bayern Munich have fully joined the race to sign Liverpool target Marc Guehi, whose move to Anfield collapsed on deadline day at the end of the summer transfer window, there’s more potential bad news for the Reds. Many had long expected Liverpool would return for Guehi […]
Morning, all! Evan Grant observes that the Rangers are trying to put together a bullpen out of castoffs and spare parts but that they have a decent track record of actually pulling that off. And that’s all I’m finding this morning.

We have talked a lot about how the Nationals need pitching and first base help. However, one position we have not really talked about is DH. For most of last season, Josh Bell was the DH, while Nathaniel Lowe played first base. With both of those guys gone, what will the Nats do at the […]
Checking in with some quick random thoughts as the Pittsburgh Penguins try to break their now six-game losing streak. They have not won since Evgeni Malkin left the lineup That is the pretty obvious line in the sand right now for when everything turned to crap for the Penguins. When we last saw Malkin on […]

San Jose sending Michael Misa to Team Canada feels like a pretty obvious move. Now, Sam Dickinson is the one everyone is watching now. On paper, Dickinson checks every box for Canada. He is 19, he has another year of eligibility, and he has already been there. His 2024-25 junior season was fantastic. He won the OHL Defenseman of the Year, the CHL Defenseman of the Year, the OHL Championship and the Memorial Cup, and was also named the San Jose Sharks ' Prospect of the Year. N...
In what was the final season of his historic career, Clayton Kershaw gave Dodgers fans one last hurrah as he ended his career as a three-time champion and one of the greatest pitchers in franchise history. Kershaw played a minor role in helping the Dodgers maintain their supremacy in the NL West in 2024, making […]
“I come to praise Caesar, not to bury him.” — William Shakespeare No one has been more scrutinized and embattled in Houston than Nick Caley. I am a numbers guy first and foremost. Most decisions that are made emotionally are the wrong one. The whole concept behind the value of things was to hope that […]
The Los Angeles Rams will be going for the season sweep over the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday Night Football. Much like the matchup in Week 11, this one is important. Whoever wins will have the upper hand in the NFC for the No. 1 seed as well as in the NFC West. The Rams have […]
Atlético de Madrid are into the next round of the Copa del Rey and, in isolation, that is all that really matters. Against Atlético Baleares on Mallorca, Diego Simeone opted for wholesale rotation, resting nearly all his regular starters against lower-division opposition with the Christmas break in sight. Early goals from Antoine Griezmann and Giacomo […]
I know, I know—the Chicago Bulls just beat the Cleveland Cavaliers, and we need to actually find the one piece we need to become contenders (sarcasm). But unfortunately, despite a big win, the Bulls are still on a bit of a cliff dive, and with a potentially stacked 2026 NBA Draft class on the horizon, it’s time to start searching for the light at the end of this dark tunnel.
The best way to do that? Understand what the Chicago Bulls need, what this draft class brings, and dive into colleg...

No. 21 Ohio State women’s basketball has two more games before the Christmas holiday, and it starts Thursday against the Norfolk State Spartans of the Mid-Eastern Atlantic Conference.

Yu Darvish may have thrown the final pitch of his career in his playoff outing against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field, but for those of us watching or listening on the radio, we had no idea.

The San Francisco 49ers are just three weeks away from the postseason, with the chance to clinch a playoff berth this weekend with a win over the Indianapolis Colts. At 10-4, the 49ers have well exceeded expectations this season, especially with the injuries they’ve faced. But, the job isn’t done. San Francisco still has a […]
The Blackhawks will look to move on from a hard loss in Toronto tonight with a game against the Montreal Canadiens. The Habs are under .500 on home ice and have won only four of their last ten games (4-5-1). The Blackhawks need to dust off the last game and move forward. And they need to find a way to score a third goal without Connor Bedard .
We’ve talked plenty here about the Blackhawks moving to the next step(s) of the rebuild. And we’ve also talked about how Blackhawks general manag...
The Miami Dolphins are trading quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. At least, they will be soon.

The veteran quarterback has had the worst season of his NFL career so far, throwing for just […]
