The stage is set. In a matchup that represents teams from two different countries, the 2025 World Series will feature the defending champion Dodgers against the Toronto Blue Jays, a team that clinched their first World Series appearance in 32 years. The Dodgers were the overwhelming favorite against the Cincinnati Reds in the Wild Card […]
Daniel Jones villified in NYC; heroic in Indy; consistent with media!
And then there were two. Unsurprisingly the Los Angeles Dodgers are representing the National League and from a near flatline pulse the Toronto Blue Jays marooned the Mariners en route to their first World Series appearance since 1993. Pundits have quickly dismissed the series as a formality in which the Dodgers will female dog slap […]
There is really no reason for Jakobi Meyers to play another game for the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders should work on dealing the unhappy wide receiver between the rest of the bye week and before they start practicing next Wednesday to face the Jacksonville Jaguars on November 2. The NFL trade deadline is two […]
The 2024-25 NCAA freshman class impressed, but now, another year into their collegiate careers, it’s time for them to take the next step and take their teams to a higher level.

Regardless of how long Christian McCaffrey plays for the 49ers, he is already secured his place in franchise folklore with everything he has achieved since arriving from the Carolina Panthers. McCaffrey wrote another stunning page in the story of his 49ers career on Sunday night, putting a slow start running the football in 2025 behind […]
That’s four wins in a row for our Chicago Bears, and four wins in games that had moments where previous Bears teams would have likely crumbled. Let’s examine all the times past teams would have found a way to Bear it up. Week 3: Chicago was up 14 to 3 after the first quarter against […]
While Syracuse fans are dealing with another season hampered by injury to the starting quarterback, another ACC school was in unchartered territory over the weekend. The Clemson Tigers found themselves on the short end of a 35-24 decision against the SMU Mustangs, but what was notable was that it’s the first time in over a […]
Monday night at Lumen Field the Seattle Seahawks upended the Houston Texans to move to 5-2 on the season heading into the bye, with the next game on the schedule being a Sunday Night Football matchup against the Washington Commanders. During the victory over the Texans, the Seahawks once again used the same five starting […]
Back in December of 2022, the Chicago Cubs signed free agent shortstop Dansby Swanson to a seven-year, $177 million contract. If you recall back to that winter, Swanson was the fourth of the four big free agent shortstops (Carlos Correa, Trea Turner, Xander Bogaerts) to sign his deal and got the smallest guarantee of the bunch. And although the Cubs have made the playoffs just one time since signing Swanson to that near-franchise-record deal, it does generally feel like it’s been a success. Bu...
On Sunday, Green Bay Packers defensive end Micah Parsons set a career-high with three sacks in the Packers’ 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Unsurprisingly, that dominant performance has earned attention from the NFL as a whole; on Wednesday, the league announced that Parsons has been named NFC Defensive Player of the Week for week […]
It’s hard to imagine a time of Auburn basketball without Bruce Pearl on the sidelines. A time when they were a destitute and moribund program lost to the deep confines of play in games in the SEC Tournament. Auburns history as a program is a little all over the map. The Charles Barkley years were […]
The Miami Dolphins have completely collapsed this season, falling to a 1-6 record to start the year and looking like a team out of sync and without answers. The on-field play has been tough to watch, the play calling has been questionable at best, and the results have been embarrassing. The Dolphins are nearing rock […]
Barcelona defender Pau Cubarsi has been looking ahead to El Clasico after Tuesday’s 6-1 win over Olympiacos in the Champions League. The Catalans head to the Santiago Bernabeu next and Cubarsi has been asked how Barcelona can take away three points from their bitter rivals. “Continue with our philosophy. Last year went well. Now the […]

In another typical non-Saturday game, Nebraska seemed to be off on its clock. I understand the “tradition” of the Day after Thanksgiving game against Iowa, but can we stop playing on Thursday’s and Friday’s? Nebraska is 5-7 on non-Saturday games since 2020. Yes, I’m including all games against Iowa, as they are not on a […]
This morning, Major League Baseball announced the finalists for the 2025 Silver Slugger Award, given to the 10 best hitters in each league by position (one player at each infield position, three outfielders, one DH, and one utility player).

With the new Champions League format, every win matters. There are only eight teams that are guaranteed to make it into the Round of 16 without needing to go through a playoff. Dortmund have a very tough schedule with games against Manchester City, Villarreal, and Tottenham still to come. Getting three points in a tough […]
It appears as if the fears of the U.S. Government shutdown keeping the women’s basketball season-opener between Louisville and Connecticut from taking place in Germany are about to be realized. “I feel pretty confident that we’re not going to Germany,” Walz said on Wednesday. “I’m 100 percent confident that we’re going to play the game.

The Dallas Cowboys are on the road this week and will visit the Denver Broncos. Amazingly, the Cowboys have not beaten the Broncos since their last season of serious note, 1995, when the franchise last reached an NFC Championship Game and Super Bowl as they won it all that year. All told the Cowboys have […]
The Kentucky Wildcats checked in at No. 9 overall in the first AP Top 25 Poll. Now, the first edition of the Coaches Poll is out, and the Cats checked in at No. 9 yet again. This means Kentucky will be a consensus top-10 team to start Year 2 of the Mark Pope era after […]
