Bears-Ravens: Keys to a victory

The Chicago Bears are looking to keep their winning ways going with a tough test on the road.

Cubs contracts: An extension proposal for Cade Horton

A reminder that since the Cubs aren’t likely going to go beyond 2026 for these sorts of things, this is probably just a thought exercise. But let’s give it a shot anyway!

A look at the Cubs’ 40-man roster

Free agency will begin shortly after the World Series ends, so clearly, we are getting close to that, and with that adjustments in many teams’ 40-man rosters. I thought it would be interesting to look at the Cubs’ 40-man roster and how it will shape up after free agents are deleted. Here is the 40-man […]

Today In NHL History - Gretzky's Wife Knocked Out

Saints power ranking entering Week 8

NFL.com – 28 (-3) “This was the first game this season where I think you can say Spencer Rattler truly didn’t play well.

Rattler really did a lot of good things […]
