Happy Monday, everyone. The brooms were out this weekend, as baseball swept Vanderbilt while the softball team took care of South Carolina. Patrick Murphy’s squad has its eye on the prize. Patrick Murphy has been around a lot of good pitchers during his time at Alabama, and he said after Saturday’s win that Briski had one of […]
The most astonishing comment from the post-2026 NFL Draft press conference of Buffalo Bills president of football operations/general manager Brandon Beane was his take on the cornerback position. “As we started this draft, I thought that the biggest hole on our roster was corner,” said Beane in front of the assembled media at One Bills Drive […]
The Los Angeles Rams declined Emmanuel Forbes fifth year option going into the 2026 season, so unless L.A. and Forbes strike a new deal, he should be a free agent going into the 2027 season. If Forbes has a strong 2026, then he’ll go into free agency at the perfect time. For Forbes, this year […]
With the 2026 draft out of the way, and first wave of UDFA singings concluded, the 91-man offseason roster is coming into shape as we look to OTAs later this month. By my estimate, there are currently seven starting positions and one specialist position to be decided, or at least up for challenge, in […]
Context clues from the Kansas City Chiefs’ offseason point to one thing: the team is taking the run game more seriously in 2026. Whether it was general manager Brett Veach’s comments at the NFL Scouting Combine talking about wanting more “explosiveness” in the Chiefs’ run game before signing running back Kenneth Walker, or head coach […]
There’s no such thing as “winning” the NFL Draft, but the closest a team can come to it is maximizing the value in each of their picks. Obviously, that simply means drafting the best players available to you, but every draft that challenge is easier for some teams than others. The more and earlier your […]
The Cowboys should feel pretty good about their roster. Heading into the offseason, they had major holes to address at linebacker, cornerback, and safety. Thanks to an excellent draft and a sensible free agent class, the Cowboys appear to have a well-rounded, formidable team. In fact, they have such good depth in some areas that […]
That’s two practices down, and a whole lot more to go. The Green Bay Packers closed down rookie minicamp on Saturday after a pair of practices that allowed the coaching staff to get to know the team’s rookie class. As always, it’s more orientation for the players than any substantial scheme installation, but that doesn’t […]
Welcome to today’s roundup of New Orleans Saints and NFL news! Saints to sign Ole Miss DT Zxavian Harris A good bet on a talented player. The Athletic argues Michael Heldman is Saints’ biggest UDFA sleeper Out of every other Saints UDFA, Heldman is one of the top candidates to make the roster. Martin Emerson […]
The Miami Dolphins and the Dallas Cowboys made a trade in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft that saw Dallas give up two fifth round selections in order to move up one spot so they could select Ohio State safety Caleb Downs at pick #11. Miami would take Alabama offensive lineman Kadyn Proctor […]
Clemson edge rusher T.J. Parker was projected as a first-round pick in the NFL Draft following a 2024 season that saw him dominate in the ACC, amassing 11 sacks with 19.5 tackles for a loss and six forced fumbles. Then, last year, Parker’s productivity dropped off, and he managed only five sacks with 9.5 tackles […]
The Miami Dolphins' impressive draft haul won't have an immediate impact on the roster, but there is enough talent that could shake up the depth chart.
Free agency and the NFL Draft bring a host of new players to the Atlanta Falcons, with new opportunities abounding for new additions. That does mean that some incumbent Falcons are going to have to fight for their jobs this summer, however, and some might have a very uphill sort of battle to wage. Here […]
With one out in the top of the 7th, Rich Simonds woke up in his hospital bed to the Cardinals getting shut down by a series of Pirates relievers. He had missed the previous 6 innings, being too tired to stay awake, but the sounds of Cardinals baseball gradually seeped into his consciousness and his […]
THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS Former Bears WR Chase Claypool tries to reboot career at Packers’ rookie minicamp Two names I would be happy to never hear again, Claypool and Packers. Bears take training wheels off QB Caleb Williams heading into Year 3 Good. It’s hard to run with wheels attached to your shoes. What […]
As Jeremy outlined in his post-2026 NFL Draft Detroit Lions winners and losers article, there are several players on the roster who came out of this draft in a better spot. But a few more stood out—players whose job security feels more stable or whose roles are now better positioned for success based on the […]
One of the keys in NFL roster building is nailing second round picks. Players drafted between No. 33 and No. 64 offer some of the best opportunities for teams to fill their rosters with guys who significantly outperform their cap hits. Former college stars taken in the second round are often still the third or […]
If you are a fan of professional wrestling, you know that more and more the curtain has been pulled back. There are very few, if any, secrets anymore. Only children really suspend belief, much like watching almost any television show or movie, while watching wrestling. There is a lot of good and bad to that […]
Zach Benson is a 20-year-old terrifically talented, ultra-pesky, super-skilled Buffalo Sabres forward who has ascended to cult hero status with dazzling, bordering-on-dirty play throughout the regular season and particularly during the team’s first-round defeat of the Boston Bruins. It got me thinking. Who is Zach Benson on the Buffalo Bills? After the team’s series-clinching win […]
The Cleveland Browns came out of the 2026 NFL draft smelling like roses; now, the team must put it together on the field. Winning cures all, as HC Todd Monken has said, among a myriad of other things, recently. This year’s draft, like the 2025 NFL draft, started with GM Andrew Berry trading down from […]
A daily roundup of Jets, Moose coverage — all the pro hockey news that matters in Manitoba and beyond.
The Blue-White Practice – not Game – was held on Saturday, April 25th, which means I’d normally discuss it the following Monday, but there was also this thing called the NFL Draft going on that same weekend. Which means that my much-anticipated review of the Blue-White Game had to be postponed for a week – […]
It was a bloodbath in the National League West last week, with all five teams in the division piling up defeats. The Dodgers, Padres, Giants, and Diamondbacks all had their longest losing streaks of the season last week, while the Rockies at four straight losses to end the week was two shy of their worst […]
We’re a little over a week away from the NFL Draft, and about a week before the 2026 schedule comes out. So, what better time to try to predict the New England Patriots’ opening 53-man roster? I know it’s early, and we haven’t seen anyone of these rookies even on the field yet — they […]
Cowboys UDFA Michael Trigg Drawing Major Praise From Brian Schottenheimer – Randy Gurzi, Sports Illustrated Michael Trigg looks like a better UDFA signing by the day. It’s still early in the offseason, but the Dallas Cowboys have already seen several of their younger players stand out during rookie minicamp. Unsurprisingly, No. 11 overall pick Caleb Downs […]
