Back in April, Shawn Phillips’ pledge to Missouri filled a practical need for veteran depth at the post position. Yet over the next 200 days, the notions of what the Arizona State transfer might offer grew increasingly ambitious. It wasn’t just slotting the senior in the starting five, either.

I recently read John Helyar’s 1994 baseball classic Lords of the Realm. Somehow, I had never heard of it until I spotted it on a baseball top-ten list. If you haven’t read it and want to avoid spoilers, stop here, go buy the book, and return after you’ve finished. That might sound dramatic, but after […]

At the trade deadline, the Mets were on the hunt, not for stars, but for complementary pieces to bolster and fortify some of their shakier areas. One such area was the bullpen, which had a strong closer and a few good relievers, but also a lot of middle relievers being churned and to plug holes […]

The Florida Panthers (15-12-2) will continue its tough four-game roadie when they pay a visit to the league-leading Colorado Avalanche (21-2-7) tonight at Denver’s Ball Arena.

Sam Bennett scored twice and added an assist and linemate Carter Verhaeghe contributed a goal and an assist to ...

One of the great things about being in the Big Ten conference is the many bowl tie-ins which tend to be in great locations (save for the Pinstripe Bowl – brrrr!). Those bowl tie-ins come with bowl payouts and for a school like Iowa, those dollars are a nice boost. But the flip side of […]

Since rules changes at the minor league level have a way, over the years, of percolating up to the big leagues, I think this bears a very close watch. According to Jayson Stark , Major League Baseball this week told all 30 organizations that it was considering implementing a new rule at the lowest levels of the minors that would eliminate the batter’s one timeout. This is not a done deal just yet, but historically speaking, when we see these kinds of reports in December, it feels like we ...

In no way am I as talented as Richard Riehle in any way, shape, or form due to his portrayal of character Tom Smykowski in the 1999 film Office Space , but I feel like Tom Smykowski right now, though, as I read through the news reports that Dillon Dube, recently acquitted of sexual assault, has signed a PTO contract with the Springfield Thunderbirds under the direction of the St. Louis Blues. Let's drop the facade of the NHL having any moral standing of any kind because the Blues are the lates...
