The New England Patriots already know their 2026 opponents, and have done so since the end of the regular season in January. What they do not know yet, however, is when they will play all of them. With the NFL Draft in the rear view mirror and the calendar having turned to May, that mystery […]

The Philadelphia Flyers made some huge strides in their rebuild this season, making it to the second round of the playoffs (before running headlong into the Mack truck that is the Carolina Hurricanes). The two playoff rounds of experience will be a huge boost to the team as they move forward into next season. But there are some areas to address, and some changes to be made. Let's take a look at three Flyers who might have played their last games in Philly. Rasmus Ristolainen ...
You know…… Baseball isn’t always a good thing. It didn’t even twig on me that Addison Barger’s 100+ mph throw from right field may not have been the smartest move from a fellow just off the IL. And it should have. There should have been a big flashing warning sign. There should have been an […]
The Colorado Rockies had a rough week last week. Heck, it’s been a rough month of May so far. The Rockies have won just two games. However, now is a good a time as any to turn things around, right? After an extra-innings brawl on Friday, the Rockies dropped game two against the Philadelphia Phillies […]

Sunday notes… Cubs lineup: Rangers lineup: Jameson Taillon, RHP vs. Jacob deGrom, RHP Jameson Taillon’s numbers are decent enough, not too far out of line from his career norms — 4.24 ERA, 1.192 WHIP. The problem is home runs — 11 of them in 40.1 innings. Believe it or not, that’s not leading the league. […]
As the final whistle blew at Anfield on Saturday after another underwhelming performance by the Reds in a 1-1 draw with Chelsea, supporters let their feelings be know with a chorus of boos.

The Colorado Avalanche will not be going 7-0 to start the 2026 Stanley Cup playoffs, a truth that many fans of the more fickle variety are struggling to cope with. Not Gabe Landeskog, though, who said, “This is what we expected, and if you didn’t, I think you are a bit naive.” This is a […]
Sounders forced to settle for a point at home.
Finn Wentworth isn’t a well-known Nets executive. He was franchise president back in 2000 and was chosen by the team to witness the draft that year in a back room at the NBA TV headquarters in Secaucus, N.J. where the ping pong balls were drawn. The New Jersey Nets had a 4.4% chance in the […]
The Phillies will attempt to celebrate Mother’s Day by earning a series victory over the Colorado Rockies.

Sometimes the universe — and especially the baseball universe — just lines things up in beautiful, unexpected ways.

When the Cleveland Browns selected “EMW” at the end of the 2nd round in this year’s NFL Draft, nobody could believe their eyes. Most mock drafts and big boards had him as more of a late 1st-round to early 2nd-round pick, regardless of him being a mid-major player at the University of Toledo. He quickly […]

J.R. Wilco In the middle of a series that feels like a movie from a director intent on subverting expectations above all else, Game 3 was a […]
Toledo Mud Hens 13, Memphis Redbirds 6 (box) The Toledo Mud Hens put up a baker’s dozen to beat the Memphis Redbirds on Saturday and take control of the series. Toledo led from start to finish, scoring in the first inning and pulling away by the second. Max Clark scored the first run of the […]

Add in the uncertainty surrounding […]
It’s the biggest day of the year for the Brooklyn Nets and it all comes down to luck — a 52.1% chance at a top-4 pick and a 14% chance at the No. 1 overall pick. If you’ve followed the organization long enough, luck is not something Nets fans are accustomed to. They really need […]
Everton had won the previous three matches against Palace by the same 2-1 scoreline. Earlier this season, Grealish’s late goal ended a 28 match unbeaten streak and last season at Selhurst Park which I watched as Charly Alcaraz sealed the points. Palace had little to play for other than keeping everyone fit for their Conference […]
Yesterday was a missed opportunity for the Nats, but they still have a chance to get the series win this afternoon. They have an early game today that is nationally televised.
