Dak Prescott disclosed on Thursday that he delivered a bold promise to Quinnen Williams at the Dallas Cowboys minicamp.
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 […]

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 […]
Panthers News Carolina Panthers quarterback Andy Dalton is expected to start in Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills after Bryce Young suffered a high ankle sprain in Sunday’s victory over the New York Jets. Young twisted his right ankle while taking a sack late in the third quarter of the Panthers’ 13-6 win at MetLife […]
The long wait is over! The Portland Trail Blazers begin one of the more anticipated seasons in recent memory with a tilt against the Northwest Division foe Minnesota Timberwolves. After a second straight Western Conference Finals appearance, the Timberwolves start the 2025-26 season hungry to improve on their recent success. Anything less than the NBA […]
Before looking for a featured image for this writeup, I hadn’t realized Cotton Nash was also a professional basketball player. He only played two seasons, but perhaps that height advantage gives him an edge in Out of the Park as well. (…nah.) Regardless of what it was, Nash’s home run and Scott Stahoviak’s 3-4 game […]
Welcome to Week 8: the pivotal turning point of the 2025 fantasy football season. We’ve officially reached the halfway mark, that crucial juncture where the playoff picture begins to crystallize and championship-caliber rosters emerge from the pack. This is where gut-check time meets game theory, where every lineup decision you make echoes through the second […]
Welcome back to the Arrowhead Pride Mailbag! Each week, watch for your opportunity to submit your Kansas City Chiefs questions in The Feed, which is found on AP’s home page. After blanking an opponent for the first time since the 2015 postseason with Sunday’s 31-0 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders, let’s see what is […]
A lot of ball game left—an entire half-season. That won’t prevent us from tracking the conference playoff standings to see how fickle they can be throughout the year. It’s a three-team race in the NFC West with the San Francisco 49ers leading the charge. Let’s take a look at where the Niners sit in the […]
A fair warning to the pessimists out there: this column is overflowing with Kool-Aid. Proceed with caution. It’s hard not to feel optimistic about the Cowboys right now, though. They obliterated the Commanders on Sunday, which simultaneously catapulted them into second place in the NFC East while dropping their rival – who reached the conference […]
The Wisconsin Badgers are heading to Milwaukee this Friday, where they’ll take on a new opponent for the first time in seven months when they face the Oklahoma Sooners at Fiserv Forum for an exhibition. For the last few weeks, the Badgers have been practicing and scrimmaging against themselves, getting ready for the upcoming season. […]
By pretty much any metric you’d choose, the Chicago Cubs had a top five-ish offense this year in Major League Baseball, even as they suffered through significant dips at times throughout the season. It’s unsurprising, then, that the Cubs are pretty well represented on the list of National League Silver Slugger finalists this year. From MLB.com : First base: Pete Alonso, New York Mets; Freddie Freeman, Los Angeles Dodgers; Matt Olson, Atlanta Braves Second base: Nico Hoerner, C...

THE FIVE BEST WORDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE: CHICAGO BULLS BASKETBALL IS BACK! The NBA season officially tipped off on Tuesday night with an epic double-overtime matchup between the Houston Rockets and Oklahoma City Thunder. While I’m not sure anyone would have predicted that exhilarating of an opening game, there is no question that it felt like fans were in store for something big when first flipping the channel to NBC. The league’s return to the network after a two-decade-long hiatus...
2025 In a Discarded-On-The-Dugout -Floor Nutshell Facing injury, rehab, and a crowded roster, Masataka Yoshida had to wait as long as possible every step of the way in 2025. The Good In 20 games during September, Masa came to life, hitting .333/.351/.486. The batting average might be a bit fluky but his OBP was .338 […]

The Chargers had their first actual practice of their short Week Eight preparation for the Vikings and their injury report essentially copies their estimated report from Monday. The only difference being that defensive tackle Jamaree Caldwell was a sudden DNP due to an illness. That will be one name to watch on Wednesday as the […]
