One year ago today, the Jays hired David Popkins as their new hitting coach. At the end of the post about the signing, I wrote “Hopefully, he’ll find a way to get our guys scoring more.” Well, he did. In 2024, the Jays hit .241/.313/.389, scoring 4.14 runs per game. In 2025, the Jays hit […]
Freddie Freeman’s title as the reigning World Series MVP is now in jeopardy as the Dodgers head north of the border in preparation for Game 1 of the World Series on Friday at Rogers Centre. Freeman had an unbelievable run in last year’s Fall Classic against the New York Yankees. He was still nursing a […]
And just like that, the Iowa Football season simultaneously has new life while also being extremely frustrating to watch (that 66 yard field goal debacle will haunt me for a long, long time). And yet….the wins keep coming? They’re not pretty (the Penn State game especially) but damn it, they’re gutsy wins. I’d run through […]

Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
The Miami Dolphins needed better from the offensive line, but they are not even getting anything close to average.
The Steelers gave up 33 points to a struggling Bengals team in Week 7, squashing the good vibes of a Pittsburgh team that looked to be on the upswing. On defense, the Steelers were gashed in both the run game and pass game — what went wrong, and how worried should you be? What went […]
Good morning.
Indianapolis, IN — Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen is widely regarded for his offensive prowess. A modern-day savant on the side of the ball who scores points, most associate Steichen with being a top-tier play-caller and a quarterback guru of sorts. He’s brought out the best of various quarterbacks during his time as an […]
When the O’s turned a corner toward winning baseball in 2022, there were questions as to whether Mike Elias and Co. could continue to dominate the draft process without the benefit of yearly Top 5 picks. Elias fired off a resounding “yes” to those questions in the most recent MLB Draft, putting together a class […]
The Miami Hurricanes entered the season with sky-high hopes for the 2025 season. After winning the opener against Notre Dame, last year’s National Runners-up, those hopes soared even higher. Every voice in the CFB universe was talking about the Canes. Features were written. College GameDay came to campus. Awards were earned. Praise was heaped upon […]

Ansu Fati has been enjoying life at Monaco after joining the club from Barcelona on a season-long loan. The forward has scored six goals in six games for the Ligue 1 club but was left frustrated last time out against Angers. Fati couldn’t find the back of the net and also wasn’t too happy about […]
Nebraska announced on Monday that this season’s wrestle-offs will be held Friday at the Hendricks Training Complex at 4 p.m. in the wrestling room — open to fans for free with parking in the lot located north of Innovation Campus. Brackets for the wrestle-offs haven’t been released, but that didn’t stop me from projecting what […]
Defenses are being aggressive against the Buffalo Bills’ offense. The Bills have a lot of work to do coming off their bye week. Essentially, no aspect of the team can be considered 100% optimal through seven weeks. Although fans can debate whether the offense or defense carries the plurality of blame for the disappointment associated […]
Greetings, Knickerbocker fans. As the 80th NBA season draws near, the Posting and Toasting crew has assembled to answer questions and offer predictions about the hooping residents of Madison Square Garden and their new skipper, Mike Brown. Commence the speculations! 1) How will Mike Brown’s system impact the team? Losada: If this was Coach Brown’s […]
Last week, I wrote a bit about veteran experience with the Colorado Rockies. As a young team looking to figure out its future under an unknown new head of baseball operations (unless they have already announced it by the time you are reading this), there is a place for veterans to help lead this team. […]
MLB.com’s Anne Rogers dives into the Kansas City Royals’ baserunning woes. “As a team, we’ve got to have the confidence to run,” said Bobby Witt Jr., who swiped seven more bags than last year with a team-leading 38. “We’ve got to get back to Royals baseball. We’ve got to be the gritty team. We’re not […]
The Utah Jazz are a classic story of rags to riches. Not in terms of wins and losses, no, of course not. This is a team that won 17 out of 82 games last season — dead last in the NBA — has never and will never be a free agent destination, and resides in […]
The Atlanta Falcons disapointed in primetime, but we still saw performances that give us hope the team can get back on track. We also saw some that will keep them off the track if they can’t adjust in time. Here’s the Week 7 3 up and 3 down. 3 up Jake Matthews 184 consecutive starts […]
The Chicago Bears’ winning streak is up to four games now, and winning always makes for some fun conversation. Check out Even McLean and Ross Read on their latest show for their breakdown of the win against the New Orleans Saints, a discussion on Caleb Williams’ performance, and also what to expect against the Ravens. […]
Heading into this season, it seemed clear that the Flyers were once again entering the year without an out-and-out starting goaltender to play the majority of the games. Samuel Ersson returned to take over his role as the “1B” sort of starter who would more than likely not play more than 45 games, Ivan Fedotov was traded to Columbus, and Aleksei Kolosov was rightfully sent to Lehigh Valley in order to try and rebuild his game after a turbulent 2024-25.
That all cleared the way for D...
During his weekly press conference, one of the first questions Eli Drinkwitz was asked was about Zion Young, who logged two sacks in extra time against Auburn, helping Mizzou slug out a win on the Plains. Drinkwitz’s answer addressed how Young’s energy was contagious: There’s benefits and negatives to having microphones everywhere. Like, this game […]
As the New England Patriots split into position groups to start practice, the drill work in the quarterback area of the field typically focuses on one area: ball security. With coaches holding padded bags swiping at the football in the pocket, the priority remains keeping two hands on the ball as Drake Maye and his […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The 2025 World Series doesn’t start until Friday. I know we are all ready to do our part in cheering for the Not-Dodgers, but we’ve still got a couple of days to go.
