2025 In A Discarded-On-The-Dugout-Floor Nutshell In a season that started with infield candidates ranging from Alex Bregman, Trevor Story, Kristian Campbell, Triston Casas, Rafael Devers, and Marcelo Mayer, David Hamilton managed to make it into 91 games. That’s way too many! His large presence in box scores is the byproduct of a tumultuous year in […]
Ohio State returns to the field this week following their second bye week of the season. The last time the Buckeyes took the field was two weeks ago in Madison, where they blanked Luke Fickell and the Wisconsin Badgers 34-0. The shutout was the second of the season for the Ohio State defense, which is […]
Well, this isn’t the game that all of us expected heading into the preseason, but Penn State and Ohio State will in fact play a Big Noon game with one of the teams being ranked No. 1 in the country. So, about those Buckeyes. We went to our sister site Land-Grant Holy Land to get […]
When I look ahead to the Green Bay Packers’ next opponent, sometimes it can take a bit of digging to find where the offense can attack the defense. I start by looking at the numbers. I typically start with DVOA, then just click around a while on NFL Pro. From there, I throw on the […]
The San Francisco 49ers look to get back into the win column with a trip to the Meadowlands to square off with the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. The last visit to MetLife was during 2020, and while the 49ers left with a victory, it came at the expense of a season-ending injury to […]

USC-Nebraska! Penn State-Ohio State! Uh…football! We’ve done about all the pre-Halloween prep in the MNW household. The pumpkins are gutted, with just a couple left to carve, we’ve taken the obligatory “infant in a pumpkin” photo (she sat great, totally unperturbed, happiest six-month-old ever), candy’s bought, pumpkin seeds ready to be roasted, pizza dough purchased […]
Yeah, last night’s game sucked. After skating 10 games to start the regular season and the only blowouts being in the Blackhawks’ favor, there was finally a big, ugly loss to put on the board. Those are going to happen to every team every year. The Blackhawks have had more than their fair share of those the past few years. After sleeping on it, my thoughts on the Blackhawks’ loss shifted. Last night’s game felt a different. Rather than the “here we go again” exhausted, defeated feeli...
One of the things that old-time hard hitting journalists did was stick to a routine until the situation absolutely warranted it. Those situations would be called “special comments.” I am not a hard hitting journalist and barely qualify as a professional one, but I am taking the opportunity to throw out a special comment. DeMeco […]
Take yourself back to December 2020. Josh Whitman had just dismissed Lovie Smith. Rod Smith was leading the Illini in their final game of the season. And present in the stadium was the new man in charge, Bret Bielema. It was a symbolic and literal changing of the guard in Champaign. Bielema won the gig […]
When things are going well, it can sometimes feel as though the next match can’t come quickly enough. For an in form side that rhythm of play, prepare, go again can be exhilarating. For a side struggling as Liverpool are at the moment, on the other hand, it can start to feel exhausting. They’ve lost […]
LOUISVILLE SHOULD HAVE AN AGGRESSIVE GAME PLAN ON DEFENSE Virginia Tech has one of the more inconsistent offenses in the country. This is mostly due to the erratic play of Kyron Drones at quarterback, who has a tendency to be inaccurate as a passer and ineffective as a runner. However, Drones can turn it on […]
The bottom six keeps producing, the top six keeps sputtering, and Noah Laba keeps making noise.
It’s that time of the week where we take some time and talk to this week’s opponent about what Minnesota Vikings fans can expect when their team takes the field this Sunday. This week, it’s time for our second NFC North divisional matchup of the year as the Vikings travel to Ford Field to face […]

Seven years ago today, the Red Sox’ last World Series championship parade rolled through a Halloween riot of baseball fans. When will the next parade down Boylston be? We’ll have to wait at least a year. But either Dodgers or Blue Jays fans will be luckier than that. Will the Jays drop the curtain on […]

It absolutely sucks that my son has a peanut allergy. No question about it. However, there is one small side benefit after he complete trick or treat: I made out like a bandit last night. Reese and Butterfinger and Snickers everywhere, and I * have to * take them. For safety. The Cubs have yet to lose bench coach Ryan Flaherty to an open managerial gig, but they are indeed losing a coach off the staff: From @PJ_Mooney and @sahadevsharma : Cubs coach Alex Smith is leaving to becom...

The report adds that “the anger at the club […]
With a 2-6 record and a roster full of pending free agents, the Cleveland Browns are on the cusp of big changes, which means they will be a big part of the NFL trade deadline rumor mill. Reality may not be as exciting as all the noise and rumors, but that doesn’t mean nothing will […]
To be transparent, I picked USC to win this game at the beginning of the year and I will pick USC to win the game tomorrow night. Though, I will be in the crowd, wearing black and cheering as loud as I can. I hope to lose my voice. I also hope to be wrong. […]
Even the Devil himself would be spooked by the way the Edmonton Oilers have been playing. As an October full of ghastly mistakes kept adding up for the Oilers, Halloween Eve saw them leave the candy bowl outside for the neighbourhood kids to pillage. And that’s what the New York Rangers did, taking advantage of…
