The New Orleans Pelicans have made a strong commitment to one of their most consistent players, agreeing to a three-year, $68 million contract extension with forward Herb Jones. The deal keeps Jones in New Orleans through the 2028-29 season, with a player option for the 2029-30 campaign. This extension isn’t just a reward; it’s a […]
Image creditIf finishing a workout leaves your knees plotting revenge and your hips staging a protest, you might be doing too much too fast. Sure, it might sound pretty amazing getting to train like an MMA fighter, or well, any sports professional in general, but even professionals get knee pain. Actually, believe it or not, [...] The post How You Can Get Fit without Punishing Your Joints first appeared on Sports Then and Now .

With his 6’6” frame, punishing jab, and disciplined style, Wladimir Klitschko became the most dominant heavyweight of the 2000s. But in 1998, he was still a prospect – and one about to get a harsh lesson. Klitschko entered a bout in Kyiv against Ross Puritty, a journeyman from the US with a record full of […]
Manny Pacquiao is one of boxing’s all-time greats – a champion in eight weight divisions known for his relentless speed, power, and humility. Among his fiercest rivals was Mexican legend Juan Manuel Marquez. Their first three bouts – one draw and two close wins for Pacquiao – were hotly contested and full of drama. By […]
is the only man to win the heavyweight championship on two occasions nearly two decades apart. In his first reign, the late, great Foreman was an intimidating force of nature. In his second, he was the ultimate underdog – a middle-aged man in a sport dominated by youth. But in 1994, he achieved the unthinkable. […]
was one of the most dominant heavyweights of the modern era. A physically imposing boxer with refined skills, a powerful jab, and ring IQ, Lewis became undisputed champion and beat nearly every top contender of his time. But even the best can be vulnerable – especially when they underestimate their opponent. In April 2001, Lewis […]
Mike Tyson is one of boxing’s most iconic and feared heavyweights. Known for his explosive power, blistering hand speed, and intimidating aura, ‘Iron’ Mike became the youngest heavyweight champion in history at age 20 and unified the division in his prime. But by the mid-2000s, years of personal struggles, prison time, and battles with addiction […]

What's next? 1) New guys take over... for now. Mike DeBartolo is the new GM. He's young, with a business bent. He's been with the Nats a long time with a role in a lot of different aspects and he's familiar with analytics. Still I imagine with no baseball leadership experience and his history being the second guy on a team who just fired it's GM I assume he's a placeholder. Miguel Cairo, bench coach, is the likely choice for interim manager. What is on DeBartolo's...
You all know how I feel. Davey deserved to get fired as much as any manager who won a WS has, at least on performance. His teams regularly underperformed expectations, including this year, and they regularly failed at the fundamentals, or at least it felt like it. I won't rehash it anymore. You can go back and read what I said a few posts ago. I think it's best for the Nats he's gone. Rizzo is more complicated. As others have pointed out, Rizzo has a skill s...
DAVEY OUT! RIZZO OUT! The Post if you have it What was the final straw? You'd have to assume the lifeless play in the past month+ 9-23 since the end of May. The team looks bad. The feeling around the team is bad. More tomorrow later tonight. Too much to wait until tomorrow but you know I got kids stuff to do right now Ed Note- internet down and my cell reception at my house is spotty so nothing more tonight Ed Note 2 - It's back!
The Red Sox beat the Nationals 10-3 on Saturday afternoon, evening their record at 45-45. It was the franchise's 10,000th regular season victory. Boston is the second American League team and the tenth major league team to reach 10,000 wins. The franchise has 108 postseason wins. Here are the franchises with more than 5,000 wins, as of a few days ago. Also: The second-longest World Series championship drought is 56 years, held by the Brewers and Padres . . . . Weird.
Since May 29, the MFY have the worst record in the AL East: 13-19. Blue Jays 21 10 Rays 19 12 Orioles 18 13 Red Sox 16 14 Yankees 13 19 They were just swept by the now-in-first-place Blue Jays, who scored 36 runs in the four games. Toronto has not been in first place this "late" in a season since 2016 . OH SHIT . . . BUFFY GOT THE BROOM OUT ! And he waved it in the eminently punchable face of the pompously annoying Michael Kay...
Free Agency update!
Like the Nats in general They are now nearly what I feared they'd be last post. Worst of the rest. Only the Athletics are standing in their way. They are clearly behind the Marlins now. Hell so are the Braves. Things have gotten so bad the team is trying to get you excited for the idea of Paul DeJong coming back and DHing even though he can't hit. What the hell are we doing here people? Kick anyone over 27 to the curb. Just play kids...
The Nashville Predators have signed the former Tampa Bay Lightning defender for two years at an AAV of $2.75M. This brings the number of similarly-named players acquired for the blueline this week to two, after yesterday’s signing of Nicolas Hague . Perbix, who just turned 27, scored 19 points (6G/13A) in a third-pair role for the Bolts last season. The team struggled with puck control while he was paired with his usual defense partner, Emil Lilleberg. However, he played better with other...
Wilyer Abreu led off the bottom of the fifth with an inside-the-park home run . Three innings later, he donged the first grand slam of his career. The Red Sox rode a seven-run first inning to a 13-6 victory. Abreu became only the sixth player to hit an inside-the-park home run and a grand slam in a game -- and the first player to do it in 67 years. The others : June 5, 1890 - Jocko Fields, Pittsburgh Burghers (Players League) July 4, 1923 (G1) - Everett Scott, Yankees August 4, 1930 - Charlie ...
Last year I made a joke about how we’d all sit around and wait for the inevitable Steven Stamkos re-signing in Tampa to be massively overshadowed by some other trade, and, uh, as you all know, that didn’t happen. This year I got nothin’. Pull up a chair and let’s see what happens.
The Nashville Predators made one move today before free agency began, trading Colton Sissons and Jeremy Lauzon to the Vegas Golden Knights for defender Nicolas Hague and a conditional 2027 draft pick. The Preds also agreed to retain salary on Sissons. Under those circumstances, it’s disappointing but not surprising to see that Hague’s on-ice impact for Vegas last season wasn’t the best. The 26-year-old is a low-scoring defender who struggled to move the puck out of the zone, though the Pr...
as the league buzzes with activity, The Chicago Bulls only provide entertainment through ridicule
they are so bad at trades!
The Preds made some trades and some picks today. Toward the end of the draft it seemed as if they just didn’t like a lot of the available options, swapping multiple picks for same-round picks next season. During the first round yesterday, they made three picks (and a trade): center Brady Martin at 5th , defender Cameron Reid at 21st , and forward Ryker Lee at 26th . Here are today’s additions: Jacob Rombach | Defender | Pick #35, 2nd Round 6’6″ defender Jacob Rombach spent the l...
