Poor Fred VanVleet. He was one of the key catalysts of the culture change for the Houston Rockets, alongside head coach Ime Udoka and the traded away Dillon Brooks. The Rockets finally looked poised to pay off all of the hard work they’ve put in and actually be title contenders, and VanVleet goes down with […]
Good win to close out the preseason. Next time they take the court, it will be for real against the 76ers. Raptors fans are funny. They trashed their own team way more than they did the Celtics. Poor Scottie Barnes. He really got a lot of hate from the fans. And, they sent a lot of love toward the Celtics, especially Pritchard and White. I do think the Celtics are going to be fun to watch this season. My favorites are in bold. What ar...

As Jack discussed earlier this morning, there […]
I’ve been a Pokemon fan for just as long as I’ve been a Red Sox fan. With the release of Pokemon Legends Z-A for the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 today, I thought it could be fun to match up Red Sox players with their Pokémon counterparts and put a team together. Note that […]
Long discussed as a fun “what if” scenario in bars and around water coolers throughout the Kansas City metro area, the idea of a Kansas City Royals downtown stadium is slowly becoming a reality. Over the last few years, there’s been so much information doled out piecemeal as an immense amount of work gets done […]
San Diego is still reeling from the surprise retirement announcement of Mike Shildt as the Padres manager. The organization stated the search for a new skipper will begin immediately. But it should start and end with the hiring of Bruce Bochy. His experience and proven track record make him the ideal choice for a team […]
Dwight Powell, backup center and by far the longest tenured Dallas Maverick, has become quite the culture and chemistry guy for this team going into his 12th season in Dallas.

Heading into the 2025-2026 off-season, could you name how many players the Rays will have reach free agency?

Multiple outlets report that the IBF has ordered Liam Paro to face Paddy Donovan in a welterweight final eliminator, with Donovan calling it the result of a successful appeal on the part of manager Keith Sullivan. Donovan (14-2, 11 KO) has dropped two straight to now-reigning titlist Lewis Crocker, but if anyone deserves some slack […]

It’s official. Egor Demin will be healthy enough to take the court Friday in Toronto vs. the Raptors. Jordi Fernandez told beat writers that not only is the 6’9” Russian point guard healthy enough but he expects Demin to “play some minutes.” “So he’s been practicing based on the program that we’ve had for him.

NC State needs two wins in its last five games to reach bowl eligibility and earn a trip to some third-tier ACC bowl destination, which at this point feels like the best-case scenario for this season. I’m going to assume that’s the ceiling. It sure would have been nice if State didn’t completely fall flat […]
