Beyond that, […]
The Baltimore Ravens made a predictable, safe decision with their first-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

It comes as no surprise, therefore, that 68% of respondents to last night’s Ravens […]

Day 1 of the draft is complete, which leads us into arguably the most exciting day of draft weekend, Day 2. Day 1 is fun, sure, all the first round picks. But Day 2 has more than double the action, plus the drama of all the players who had first-round buzz but slipped out. Teams […]
Since NIL and the transfer portal changed the landscape of college football in 2020, people have been saying the NCAA is now more like the pros.

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. Unfortunately, the bullpen let them down once again, as Cionel Perez was tagged for 3 runs after getting just one out, bringing his ERA […]
Washington fans are happy with the newest Commander Like those of most NFL teams, Commanders fans are enthusiastic about the team’s 1st round selection in the 2026 NFL Draft.

The lights were perfect. The stage was set. And for a few hours, the city of Pittsburgh reminded the football world exactly why it sits at the heart of the sport.

The Chicago Bears unexpectedly took Oregon safety Dillon Thieneman with the 25th overall pick last night, and having the best player available align with a massive need in the secondary was as perfect an outcome as general manager Ryan Poles could have hoped for.

A lot of people are making assumptions about Sean McVay’s “body language” and perceived behavior when the Rams met with the media after drafting Ty Simpson, suggesting that he’s upset about it.
