Its awards season! The NHL has kicked off its annual tradition of announcing the finalists for their major awards, and first up is the Ted Lindsay Award, earned by the player who was most valuable to his team as decided by the NHLPA. It differs from the Hart Memorial Trophy as that trophy is determined by the PWHL. By its very nature, the award is looked at as who the actual players believe is the MVP of the season. Yet, it doesn’t seem to carry the gravitas of the Hart. In the history of the ...
Boston Red Sox pitcher Ranger Suarez was well on his way to throwing a no-hitter against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday. I, for one, am glad that he couldn’t get the job done. If you aren’t aware of the circumstances, let me paint the picture for you. Suarez allowed just one hit across eight […]
Coming into the draft, the Cowboys needed to make a splash. Armed with two first-round picks after the Micah Parsons trade, the Cowboys were set up with enough resources to get premium talent or move up in the draft if they chose to do so. Even though the Cowboys had top options early in the […]
Newcastle United are preparing for a significant squad reset this summer, with several first-team and fringe players set to become free agents. The club have been reviewing options way ahead of the transfer window, and it sounds like decisions around their out-of-contract players have now largely been made. Chris Waugh reported in a Q&A for […]
You may remember last week, right before the draft, I laid out a more holistic vision for what I wanted to see from the Jets. Fast forward a week, and the draft has come and gone. For the most part, I walked away encouraged. Bits and pieces have come out about how the Jets prepared […]
Inspiration. My preseason expectation was that the Diamondbacks rotation would be near-average rotation. In that context, my optimistic hope was that Eduardo Rodriguez would significantly contribute toward the Diamondbacks reaching the playoffs. My player review was specific about my optimistic hopes: “The biggest point to carry with you is that if he can again reach […]
The Atlanta Braves will be taking on the Detroit Tigers as two first place teams will clash. The Braves’ offense, who currently lead MLB in runs scored per game, is going to have arguably their toughest test yet as they will be facing a Tigers’ rotation that has been one of the best in MLB […]
The Portland Fire’s Alex Sarama does not have the traditional resume of a head coach in the WNBA. Only 30 years old, the majority of his coaching journey has taken place overseas. (He is British, of course). He coached at Pallacanestro College Basket Borgomanero in Italy, worked for Paris Basket and the London Lions, coached […]
The Nats grinded out a series win against the Chicago White Sox over the weekend, taking the last 2 games of the series to bring themselves back to just 3 games under .500. A game-tying solo home run in the top of the 8th inning of Game 1 was quickly neutralized by a game-winning Sam […]
The door isn’t completely closed on Marcus Rashford’s time at FC Barcelona, but the club has set a very specific, and difficult, ultimatum for his stay. According to Diario SPORT, the club is close to fully deciding on his departure because the €30 million transfer fee is deemed too high for a player who, despite […]
On Thursday, the Kansas City Chiefs drafted Clemson defensive tackle Peter Woods with pick No. 29 in the first round. After trading up to acquire the top defensive back in the draft, the Chiefs used the next two picks on pass rush, Woods, and defensive end R Mason Thomas from Oklahoma. On Monday, Chiefs’ Vice […]
The Los Angeles Rams finally added an outside receiver this offseason. They took Miami WR CJ Daniels in the sixth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. I’ll be honest that Daniels was not one of my favorite receiving options available in this class. Daniels is age 24 and spent six seasons in college including four […]
The New England Patriots walked off the field in Santa Clara less than three months ago after coming out on the wrong side of Super Bowl 60. As players cleaned out their lockers and went their separate ways for the offseason, the disappointment traveled with them. “I watched a little. It still stings, to be […]
The Gopher baseball team has been in a rut since 2018 when they won the Big Ten, advanced to the Super Regional and nearly knocked off Oregon State to get back to the College World Series. Since then they have seen their conference standing drop year after year. 2019 – 5th2020 – n/a2021 – 13th […]
We’re belaboring it at this point, but that doesn’t diminish its importance. Sean McDermott’s defense was a problem in the playoffs and some part (small or large) of why the Bills did not reach a Super Bowl in any of the last six seasons despite otherwise massive success. After the 2026 NFL Draft, Ty Dunne […]
1901 Bock Baker of the Blues surrendered a record 23 singles to the White Sox, who crushed Cleveland, 13-1, at South Side Park without the assistance of an extra-base hit. Fred McMullin led Chicago with four singles, while everyone in the lineup got at least one safety. Clark Griffith threw the complete-game win, and had […]
The Houston Dash announced the signing of Emina Ekic through the 2027 season with a mutual contract option for 2028 following a transfer from USL Super League club, Lexington SC. Ekić earned the USL Super League Player of the Year award in the league’s inaugural 2024-2025 season with Spokane Zephyr FC. The 26-year-old earned 10 […]
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that San Francisco 49ers free agent wide receiver Jauan Jennings is set to visit the Minnesota Vikings on Monday and Wednesday. This comes after the Miami Dolphins reportedly had interest in Jennings’ services. The Vikings would be a great fit for Jennings. Minnesota just exercised Jordan Addison’s fifth-year option. Addison had […]
Of the nine players that the Minnesota Vikings selected in last week’s NFL Draft, none of them play the wide receiver position, a spot that many expected them to address at some point during the selection meeting. Now, it appears that they may be looking in a different direction to fill out the depth chart […]
When the Yankees learned that Anthony Volpe had been playing through much of 2025 with a partially torn labrum in his left shoulder and would miss the start of the season while rehabbing from surgery, it’s a good thing they had his readymade replacement on the big league roster. Thanks to a shrewd piece of […]
As the Phillies’ 2026 mercifully approaches its conclusion (what’s that? It’s still only April???), they’ll welcome the San Francisco Giants to Citizens Bank Park for a three-game set. The Phillies already took their annual trip to San Francisco and suffered their annual series loss there. The Phillies have traditionally fared better when these teams play […]
When Andrew Wiggins first arrived from the Jimmy Butler trade for the Miami Heat, the organization knew they were getting an established 3 & D wing with championship experience. And that’s exactly what he has been throughout his one-and-a-half seasons in Miami. As the 2014 draft number one overall pick over a decade ago, Wiggins […]
The post This 1 key wing makes it known that he wants to be back with the Heat appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
As the New England Patriots returned to the facility last week for the start of the voluntary offseason program, head coach Mike Vrabel addressed the team regarding his ongoing off-field situation. “I thought he did a great job,” Hunter Henry said. “It’s been the same Vrabes, bringing a lot of energy in the room. So, […]
I was in the Northwest Stadium tunnels when Jayden Daniels sent a high volley skyward towards the end zone, furiously typing what I assumed would be a Bears victory recap for the Chicago media outlet I worked for. There was a postgame show to join right after the clocks ran out, offering no time to […]
Today, the NWSL announced nominees from all 16 clubs for the 2026 Lauren Holiday Impact Award. The prestigious honor is presented by Nationwide and was introduced in 2024 to honor the legend, two-time NWSL Champion and Olympic gold medalist, FIFA Women’s World Cup champion, National Soccer Hall of Fame inductee, and recipient of the Muhammad […]
