Before he was Cubs manager for four years, before he was a World Series hero, before he was “Grandpa Rossy,” David Ross was just another Cubs backup catcher. Well, not “just” another one. He had been signed at the recommendation of Jon Lester, who the Cubs signed to a long-term deal before 2015, as Lester […]

Two seasons ago, fresh off a 92-win campaign and an NL Central division title, the Milwaukee Brewers traded their best pitcher. Former Cy Young winner Corbin Burnes, entering his final year before free agency, was dealt to the Orioles for a fairly underwhelming return. Nonetheless, the Brewers remained the class of their division, in fact […]
Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua are really going to fight on Friday, December 19, headlining a Netflix-streamed card from Miami’s Kaseya Center.

The Blackhawks’ Canadian tour continues on Thursday night with another Original Six matchup, as the Montreal Canadiens are this evening’s opponent.
Montreal’s had a roller-coaster ride of a season, with a blistering 9-3-0 start followed by a 1-4-3 stretch that brought it back to Earth a bit, followed by victories in five of seven and then, leading into this game, losses in four of six. The Canadiens most recent game was a 4-1 loss to the Flyers on Tuesday night, so heavy legs shouldn’t be...

Bienvenue to the folderol bowls. For years I considered the “achievement” of bowl eligibility absurd. A bar to leap of the lowest order. Testament to mediocrity.

The post Girona vs Atletico Madrid Prediction: 5 Betting Tips appeared first on Soccer Scoop .
Quinn Ewers met with the media for the first time since being named the Miami Dolphins starting QB, and he said all the right things.
Jets linebacker Quincy Williams revealed that he is playing with a broken hand. I commend Quincy for continuing to compete in a lost season when he likely won’t be returning to the team in 2026. I wonder why the Jets don’t just shut him down at this point. I don’t think you bench healthy starters, […]
The Cleveland Browns have three games left in the 2025 NFL season and a whole lot of questions about what the future might hold. That likely starts with the future of head coach Kevin Stefanski and, potentially, general manager Andrew Berry. Most Browns fans are expecting Stefanski to be fired, with the primary conversation around […]
Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza has been a lot of things this year. The Hoosiers’ leader on offense, the single-season touchdown pass record holder, the Big Ten Football Championship game MVP and the Heisman Trophy winner.

If there’s a divisional matchup that consistently comes down to the margins, it’s the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams. The standings matter, the history matters, but what usually decides these games shows up on the All-22: spacing, leverage, timing, and who is forced to abandon their original structure first. Awesome matchup between Sean McVay […]

The Minnesota Wild gave up a haul of former first round picks to acquire Quinn Hughes from the Vancouver Canucks . One of those players was Marco Rossi, their top-6 center.

The Wild, who are third in the league in points, have Joel Eriksson Ek, Danila Yurov, Ryan Hartman, and Nico Sturm down the middle. Yurov, in particular, is...
