In the Jay-Z song “30 Something” the Brooklyn lyricist made entering his 30s sound like a man beginning to reach his prime. That might be true for Sean Carter, who can continue to rap and build up his business empire, but in sports, that ideology doesn’t work as well. The Lakers have the oldest player […]

Background I think it’s safe to say that Ildemaro Vargas enjoys playing for the Arizona Diamondbacks, or more specifically the Reno Aces. Vargas has spent a very large chunk of his career shuffling back and forth between the Diamondbacks AAA affiliate and the MLB club. Vargas first joined the organization in 2015, after being released […]

It was one of the first things that new Buffalo Sabres GM Jarmo Kekalainen addressed upon taking the reins from the deposed Kevyn Adams: The new GM wants to get the Alex Tuch talks back on track and get the two-way star signed to an extension. However, as revealed by insider Elliotte Friedman on NHL Morning Skate on NHL Network Radio , there are a couple of big hurdles and a big dilemma the Sabres face in getting that done. And it all starts with the number Tuch is looking for on hi...
Atlético Madrid reached the last 16 of the Copa del Rey, albeit with a nervy ending, after a 3-2 win over Atlético Baleares in Mallorca on Wednesday evening.

Options to bolster Seattle’s squad from the collegiate ranks

The team also announced that it […]

Last week, we learned that Nico Hoerner’s name had popped up in trade conversations this offseason, though it was non-specific and certainly not a situation where it had the feel of Hoerner being shopped or anything like that. More likely, we figured, the Cubs were having conversations with LOTS of teams about LOTS of topics, and given how hot the second base trade market is (and the lack of shortstops out there), it would make sense for a team or three to ask the Cubs about Hoerner. He’s...
The Green Bay Packers opened their practice week with a concerning list of absences — and a roster that suddenly looks far less imposing heading into Saturday’s primetime showdown with the Chicago Bears. Six Packers did not practice on Wednesday, headlined by star running back Josh Jacobs (knee) and wide receiver Jayden Reed, who missed the session due to a personal matter. Starting safety Evan Williams (knee) and anchor right tackle Zach Tom (knee/back) were also sidelined, leaving two m...

Although the Bulls have enjoyed an extended break since Sunday, the NBA at large has already been busy this week.
