The Falcons have won two games in a row against a freefalling Buccaneers team and lousy Cardinals squad, but their last great challenge of the 2025 season is ahead. The Los Angeles Rams are one of the best teams in football, quarterbacked by a still-excellent Matthew Stafford, who is throwing the ball to all-world receiver […]
Lamine Yamal is the king of dribbling – FC BarcelonaLamine Yamal is already, at just 18 years old, one of the key members of the current Barça squad and one of the top players in world football after a spectacular 2025. The calendar year has seen the teenager establish himself as a fundamental pillar of […]
Gameweek 17 delivered several standout Fantasy Premier League performances, with players across all positions producing significant returns. From defenders contributing goals to goalkeepers producing match-winning displays, this gameweek had a major impact on overall rankings — and offered clear signals for FPL managers heading into Gameweek 18. Kelleher (Brentford) Kelleher was one of the standout […]
Let’s start with a Merry Christmas from everyone at Battery Power. We hope you have a wonderful day with your loved ones whether and/or however you celebrate! Well the dam hasn’t quite broken yet on the bulk of the offseason free agent and trade markets, as this has been a uniquely slow year so far. […]
NY Post | Matt Ehalt: The Yankees have had their top priorities set for a while, but they’re still out there waiting to find a new team. In case things don’t end up falling their way and they need to pivot midway through the offseason, a Plan B has to be in place. For the […]
Earlier this week, Baseball America published the following graphic: So I pose the question to you: Heading into 2026, how hopeful are you about the Colorado Rockies? Please keep in mind our Purple Row Community Guidelines when you’re commenting. Thanks!
This round was more of the customary tight battle, given the smaller pool of votes. Emerging victorious from a late, dead tie was outfielder Christian Gonzalez, earning 13 of 60 (22%) votes: Gonzalez has completed just two short seasons in the White Sox system, thus this is his first taste of our Prospect Vote. It […]
It’s not often that the two worst teams in the league square off this late in the season. So, the Las Vegas Raiders and New York Giants are set up for a big matchup in Week 17, as this game has appropriately been nicknamed ‘The Tank Bowl’! Also, we have just two weeks left in […]
1927 Nellie Fox — the second-best second baseman, fourth-best hitter, and 11th-best player in White Sox history by WAR (47.4) — was born in St. Thomas, Pa. Although certainly more in line with players of his time, Fox was an undersized 5´9´´, achieving his stardom with the grit that came to personify the Go-Go White […]
Barcelona were expected to have a quiet January transfer window but those plans may have changed after center-back Andreas Christensen was ruled out for several months with an ACL injury. “I’ll talk to Deco,” was the message from Hansi Flick about the situation, meaning the rumor mill has been quick to churn out a host […]
President of Baseball Operations Chaim Bloom has already made moves to finally kickstart the St. Louis Cardinals rebuild moving Sonny Gray and Willson Contreras, but his next move might be to bring a right-handed power bat into the fold based on what he said earlier this week. The question is whether that bat will come […]
On Dec. 23, A.J. Preller and the San Diego Padres introduced their new infielder from Korea, Sung-Mun Song. After flying to San Diego from Korea on Friday, Dec. 19, Sung signed his new contract and flew back home to Korea. On Tuesday, the Padres introduced Song via Zoom call and he joined Preller and manager […]
Overview 2025 Review When the Diamondbacks entered the 2025 season, they did so with a solid rotation headed by Corbin Burnes and Zac Gallen. Likewise, the bullpen looked stacked, with Justin Martinez, Ryan Thompson, and A.J. Puk helping to solidify the back end of games. Ryan Thompson had already established himself as a quality set-up […]

Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City Prediction The English Premier League delivers another compelling fixture as Nottingham Forest host The post Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City Prediction appeared first on Soccer Scoop .
The NBA may be discussion expansion to the cities of Seattle and Las Vegas, but it’s long been known that the prized frontier for the brand lies overseas. International expansion has proved a lucrative market for the titan basketball league, ground that the NFL and MLB have not been able to occupy. Europe is a […]
Yesterday, Ryan O’Hearn signed a 2-year $29 million contract with the Pirates. This is relevant to the Nats in a couple of ways. The most obvious is that the Nats missed out on a first base target. I wrote about O’Hearn as a fit and even said a potential contract could be 2-years $28 million. […]
The Cubs had been on a second-half roll. At the end of August rolling into the beginning of September, they rode a six-game winning streak into a 4.5 game lead in the NL Central. So fans weren’t too worried when the Cubs lost the final game of a seven-game homestand to the Braves after winning […]
Hey, we actually got some nominations in this category! Only three, but that’s okay, as it gives me leeway to throw a couple of additional choices into the mix. It’ll be interesting to see how these go: there are a couple of candidates who would appear to be hot favorites, but as we’ll see, the […]
It doesn’t take a Nobel Prize to be able to deduce that the MLB offseason has the slowest and most brutal pace in all of professional sports. The NBA and NHL have their drafts take place in late June after the conclusion of the postseason, and free agency begins on July 1st. It takes under […]
We’re 10 days away from the Tatsuya Imai posting expiring, and not really much closer to knowing with much confidence (1) the teams seriously making a real push, or (2) the expected price tag. As we saw two years ago with Shota Imanaga (and recently with Munetaka Murakami), the markets for Japanese stars is notoriously difficult to project, and the rumor mill is far more mum than for domestic free agents. It’s just the way these things always go. That said, there are some interesting bits...
The last of the clear late-inning free agent relievers is now off the board, with Pete Fairbanks reportedly signing with the Miami Marlins. This became something of a vogue rumor in recent days, especially after the Ronny Henriquez surgery , and now it’s happening. Pete Fairbanks stays in Florida and reunites with baseball chief Peter Bendix, who use to be in the Rays’ front office back when Fairbanks was at his best: Reliever Pete Fairbanks and the Miami Marlins are in agreement on ...
Tuesday saw another rival of the Cincinnati Reds make a significant move towards being better at baseball during calendar year 2026. The Pittsburgh Pirates, of all clubs, jumped at signing free agent 1B/OF Ryan O’Hearn, landing him on a deal worth some $29 million across a pair of seasons, proving that they are at least […]
It’s the day before Christmas and there is no Jays news to talk about. So I’m going to recycle a post. Let’s talk about our favourite Christmas songs. I’m not a huge fan of Christmas songs, especially when they start playing them in early November. I like some of the traditional ones if they are […]
