The Toronto Maple Leafs are in the market for a new GM, and probably a president too. I’m offering my services. No, not for the jobs themselves. But I’m willing to act as a consultant for the interview process. Specifically, I’ve got a few questions that I’d love to see Keith Pelley and his hiring committee ask potential candidates before making a decision on who’ll lead this franchise into the future. Normally I’d charge a hefty fee to a corporate client for this sort of insight, but given th...
Whereas the Los Angeles Rams seem content to keep Davantae Adams on their team, there were reports that L.A. did consider trading the star receiver this past offseason, and the Rams didn’t say those reports were a lie, so despite the Rams saying they want to keep Adams, expect trade rumors to linger. If for […]
The Cleveland Browns offseason has ground to a bit of a halt, like most teams, as the 2026 NFL draft is just a few weeks away. Offseason activities will kick off early next week before GM Andrew Berry looks to fill HC Todd Monken’s roster with more young players, including a fullback. For most Browns […]
The NFL’s Annual Meeting in Phoenix is a good reminder of one thing: we’re not far into the Ed Policy era, but he’s already had a lot to navigate. Since Policy took over, the Packers made a major trade and made significant decisions about the future of their front office and their coaching staff, all […]
Lamine Yamal has issued a statement in response to racist chants that were heard during Spain’s friendly with Egypt on Tuesday night at the RCDE Stadium in Barcelona. Spanish police have confirmed they are investigating “Islamophobic and xenophobic” chants that were heard during the first half of the draw. Yamal has now issued a statement […]
Well, Monday didn’t go as hoped for the Sixers. With cool shooting nights from their stars, while Tyler Herro led the way with 30 points for Miami who went on a 14-0 run in the last few minutes to take control, the Sixers lost to the Heat, 119-109. It was an underwhelming performance and frustrating result. […]
A couple things have induced dread in me in baseball’s first week. There have been major wins — the Yankee pitching staff is fantastic! ABS is a lot of fun! — but some cringey losses. The first is the corporatization of the 9-9-9 task, a Twitter meme that challenges fans to consume nine hot dogs […]
If you were to play a word association game with even the most casual NFL fan, the response to the phrase “Cleveland Browns” is almost guaranteed to be, “needs a quarterback.” Such is life when you are a franchise that has cycled through 42 different starting quarterbacks since 1999. Young, old, promising, washed-up, emergency starters, […]
Meet the Mets The Mets suffered their second loss of the season, losing 3-0 to the Cardinals and being held to just three hits. Senga had a great start, giving up just two runs in the third inning and going six full innings with three walks and an impressive nine strikeouts. Richard Lovelady made another […]
The Lady Jayhawks were knocked out of the WBIT in Semifinals against in conference rival BYU. The loss officially ends basketball season in Lawrence. The fourth quarter was all about runs, starting with an 8-0 spurt by BYU as the Cougars took a 54-51 lead at the 6:48 mark. Meister ended the run with a […]
McDonald’s is the perfect sponsor for the nation’s primer high school all-star game. The game excites with plenty of tasty morsels, but there’s also a lot of empty calories. The 2026 McDonald’s All American game provided plenty of both. Players sometimes too-eagerly called their own number. At other moments, many tried to force ambitious passes. […]
Rangers 8, Orioles 5
CBs Sauce Gardner, Mooney Ward KEYS to Colts defense! IU Football earns optimism! Pacers v Bulls!
It took two whole seasons for Shohei Ohtani to open the season in the starting rotation, and he showed on Tuesday that he is up for the challenge to post a fully healthy two-way season. Ohtani only went 1-3 with a pair of walks at the plate against the Cleveland Guardians in the Dodgers 4-1 […]
A number of Red Sox players were hot in the World Baseball Classic. A number did well in Spring Training. But it hasn’t really carried over into the first week of the season. The Boston Red Sox are 1-4 after a full turn of the rotation and are once again looking for Garrett Crochet to […]
Early tournament exits, especially for programs with a high talent ceiling and big expectations, are disappointing. While many Buckeye fans are understandably frustrated by the team’s repeated early exits from the NCAA Tournament (they last made the Sweet 16 in 2023), it’s important to remember this year’s roster was actually quite young. In fact, many […]
In a statement on Wednesday morning, the Edmonton Oilers announced they are blacking out playoff games on television – but there’s a catch. The game telecast will start once the Oilers Community Foundation’s 50/50 pot reaches a minimum of $1 million. If the pot doesn’t hit the mark, no Oilers hockey will be seen on…

Barcelona midfielder Pedri has defended Raphinha after the Brazilian picked up an injury on international duty and was ruled out for five weeks.

Hens 5, Mets 1 (F/7) The Mud Hens came out on top in the first of six against the Syracuse Mets on Tuesday afternoon. The Hens pounced on the Mets in the top of the first and cruised to victory as the game was called in the seventh due to rain. Veteran Cubs’ closer Carl […]
Good morning.
They’ve talked about it for years now. The Colorado Rockies would enter spring training with the prerogative of stealing more bases in the regular season, especially after the implementation of bigger bases in 2023. Players would run free during Cactus League action, particularly the speedsters, in the hopes that it would carry over into the […]
