Shohei Ohtani says he’s getting ready to pitch in Toronto as the World Series shifts to Canada, writes Andy McCullough at The Athletic. What could that look like? McCullough argues that it should be as a starter for Game 7 thanks to the eponymous Ohtani Rule, which was updated in 2022. It states that a […]

About four weeks ago, shortly after the Red Sox were eliminated, I wrote that I was rooting for the Blue Jays to win the World Series in one our Over The Monster group posts. There are several reasons for this, but one of which is I want another big spending team in the division not […]

Tuesday night against Utah was the first time in roughly nine games that I felt like the Oilers gave us a glimpse of their “A” game. We really haven’t seen them reach that level since their win over the Vancouver Canucks back on October 11. Since then, they’ve had three other victories, but none of…

Rafael Louzán, the president of the RFEF, has played down the clash between Dani Carvajal and Lamine Yamal during El Clasico. The Real Madrid captain confronted 18-year-old Yamal, his international team-mate, at the end of the game after being riled by some pre-match banter from the youngster.

The first “half” of the season couldn’t have gone much better for the Los Angeles Rams. They sit at 5-2 and were competitive in both of their close losses.

On Sunday night, the Green Bay Packers got one of their more complete games of the season in their 35-25 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. But it was hardly perfect, as the team had plenty of issues in the first half that required a big second half performance to overcome. Three three-and-outs before halftime were […]

When the Calgary Flames are ready to trade Nazem Kadri, there won't be a shortage of suitors to take a run at him. Plenty of teams are searching for a top-6 center and Kadri could absolutely fill the void. In Calgary, he is the go-to, but when he takes a little bit of a lesser role, his game elevates to an even higher level. Darren Dreger said, "There are other Canadian markets, namely the Canadiens, Canucks, maybe the Leafs, that could absolutely envision a #2 experienced center like Nazem Ka...

The first half of the 2025 NFL season has gone about as expected for the Cleveland Browns. That is to say, it has been like far too many seasons before it. A combination of a tough schedule, an ineffective offense, and a defense that has a knack for coming up short at just the wrong […]

By now, entering the halfway point of the 2025 NFL season, we have a pretty good idea where exactly the Dallas Cowboys are ranked around the league. Offensively they have one of the best units in league, but on the flipside, they are no doubt among the worst defensive units in the league, if not […]

Here’s why I’m NOT worried about Saturday afternoon when the red and black meet the ugly orange with a wildly mismatched blue: 1. Florida really doesn’t have a rushing game; they’ve only had 3 running plays greater than 20 yards all season (and none greater than 30). This adds up to only 4 yards a […]
