When I first discovered that the Minnesota Vikings picked Caleb Banks with the 18th pick, I was completely surprised. My first thought was what a poor value it was for the Vikings at that point in the draft- Banks was expected to go in the second round and there really wasn’t any buzz about him […]
One year ago, the Philadelphia Flyers were sitting on their couches, hoping the ping pong balls might fall their way at the 2025 NHL Draft Lottery. The rebuild was still very much a rebuild. Matvei Michkov had a strong rookie season, Jamie Drysdale found his way, and there were a few other improvements you could point to, but the Flyers were still searching for another X-factor or two to really get them to the next level. Well, it didn’t take too long for Danny Briere to find the nex...

Day one of the NFL Draft has come and gone. In a night filled with trades, surprising picks, and the Seahawks drafting another running back in the first round, one non-Seattle pick stood out as well. And no, I am not talking about the Los Angeles Rams selecting quarterback, Ty Simpson. Rather, it is the […]
It only took one game to see that Koa Peat was not going to be play at the college level for long. And despite some ups and downs after that, the Arizona freshman is ready to begin his pro career. Peat officially declared for the 2026 NBA Draft on Friday, the final day for players […]
The Nationals looked to even the series with the Braves yesterday afternoon at Nationals Park, and were in position to possibly steal the win going into the 7th inning tied 2-2.

The situation for the Phillies has gotten beyond the level of ugliness. It’s so dire that I was actually encouraged by them getting to extra innings before losing on Thursday. On the other hand, the Phillies’ opponents this weekend have had just about everything go right this season. Is it possible that the Braves somehow […]
Welcome to our Wizards player review series. We’ll go through each guy that played meaningful minutes and look back on their season. Here’s Julian Reese.
