To say Will Smith had a very good 31st birthday as the Los Angeles Dodgers attempted to close out the Arizona Diamondbacks on Opening Weekend would be an understatement. First and foremost, he got to watch his daughters, Layton and Charlotte, throw out the first pitch before LA’s third game of the 2026 MLB season, […]

As the NBA explores expansion packages to bring its league to 32 teams, some have openly wondered if MLB will eventually follow suit, going from 30 to 32 teams in order to embrace an NFL-style divisional structure. Discussing the potential for two more teams to join Major League Baseball, ESPN Insider Jeff Passan broke it […]

Through the first two games of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ 2026 campaign, Mookie Betts has arguably been the team’s MVP, playing sound defense at second while contributing a three-run homer against the Arizona Diamondbacks to go with his .250/.333/.625 line. Currently sitting pretty as the NL’s RBI leader, Betts was asked after the game how […]

When news broke that Jeff Stoutland would no longer be a member of the Philadelphia Eagles’ coaching staff, it marked a true end of an era for one of the longest-tenured assistants in Philly history. Initially joining the Birds under Chip Kelly after a successful tenure at Alabama, Stoutland outlasted both his first boss and […]

For a time there, it looked like the Philadelphia Eagles were exclusively going to be mocked Kenyon Sadiq in seemingly every mock draft until the 2026 NFL Draft. On paper, it makes sense, right? The Eagles have a big, long-term need at tight end, even after signing not one, not two, but four players at […]

With the 2026 NFL Draft rapidly approaching, all eyes turned to Columbus for Ohio State’s Pro Day on Wednesday, where as many as four future first-round picks worked out for reporters, coaches, and teams as a whole. And the cream of the Buckeyes’ crop in 2025? Well, that would be Arvell Reese, the do-it-all linebacker […]

When the San Antonio Spurs selected Victor Wembanyama with the first overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, it changed their franchise forever. Widely considered the best prospect since LeBron James 20 years prior, Wemby has been somehow better than advertised for the Spurs, building a list of accolades that may just include Defensive Player […]

As the proud holders of the N0. 3 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, the Arizona Cardinals are almost certainly going to forgo a quarterback in the first round in order to give new head coach Mike LaFleur a long-term building block for the future. … or will they. That’s right, while there likely isn’t […]

In 2021, before the Philadelphia Eagles acquired AJ Brown in a trade with the Tennessee Titans or signed his college teammate Elijah Moore in free agency, the future Super Bowl Champion opened up about his mental health challenges. Talking to reporters in Tennessee, Brown revealed that during his time at Ole Miss, he seriously considered […]

After bringing back fan favorite offensive tackle Fred Johnson earlier in the day, Howie Roseman hit the phones once more on Tuesday, adding wide receiver Elijah Moore to further bolster new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion’s passing game. Taking to social media to announce the move, Ian Rapoport revealed that Moore will be taking his talents […]

After addressing pretty much every position other than the offensive line during the opening weeks of free agency, the Philadelphia Eagles have circled back to bring back a big ugly to help protect Jalen Hurts in 2026: fan favorite swing tackle Fred Johnson. Taking to social media to announce the move, Tom Pelissero revealed that […]

With the 2026 NFL Draft less than a month away, fans of all 32 teams are openly wondering where top college prospects like Fernando Mendoza and Ty Simpson will begin their professional careers. Now granted, there isn’t too much debate over where Mendoza will land, as he’s been fated to the Las Vegas Raiders for […]

As the Los Angeles Dodgers gear up for an Opening Day showdown against the Arizona Diamondbacks, one of the subplots fans have kept track of has been the team’s catcher situation. With two former top draft picks, Will Smith and Dalton Rushing, currently on the Opening Day roster, will the Dodgers look to form a […]

After the first day of NFL free agency’s legal tampering window, the Philadelphia Eagles’ roster had holes. Widely considered one of the best rosters in football heading into the 2025 NFL season, the team lost their WR3, Jahan Dotson, their long-time starting inside linebacker, Nakobe Dean, plus three more starters in edge rusher Jaelan Phillips, […]

To say Roki Sasaki’s spring training with the Los Angeles Dodgers has been underwhelming might actually put it kindly. After opting against competing in the World Baseball Classic to focus on recapturing his starting legs after an October coming off the bench as the Dodgers’ surprise closer, Sasaki has been hammered early and often during […]

With the Los Angeles Dodgers’ pitching rotation more or less set following the news that Emmet Sheehan won a spot alongside Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, Shohei Ohtani, and Roki Sasaki, the real question became who Dave Roberts would use when after the season opens up against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday. With Yamamoto locked in […]

With Opening Day of the 2026 MLB season rapidly approaching, fans of the Los Angeles Dodgers are chomping at the bit to see if this new crop of players can continue their World Series-winning ways. Sure, much of the Dodgers’ 2025 lineup is back, with Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and company all gearing […]

Though free agency has been open for the better part of two weeks, the Philadelphia Eagles continue to find value on the margins once all of the big-money players have come off the board. After sitting out the legal tampering period’s opening hours, the Eagles made their first big splash by signing Riq Woolen, the […]

Heading into the spring, it looked like the Los Angeles Dodgers had one starting pitching spot up for grabs, with Emmet Sheehan, Justin Wrobleski, and Roki Sasaki duking it out for one spot behind Blake Snell, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, Tyler Glasnow, and two-way unicorn Shohei Ohtani. On paper, this created some nice drama and gave fans […]

With the initial wave of free agency more or less over, even if the Philadelphia Eagles just secured a steal in the form of Hollywood Brown, teams have begun to further turn their focus to the 2026 NFL Draft and which players they could come away with during the three-day event in Pittsburgh. With all […]

To say the World Baseball Classic went the way Team USA and their manager, Mark DeRosa, wanted would be a massive understatement. One of the unquestioned favorites to win the tournament alongside Team Japan due to their All-Star roster and championship pedigree, Team USA just couldn’t get anything going offensively, especially when it counted, watching […]

After weeks of preparation, dozens of games, and a final for the ages, the World Baseball Classic is officially over, with Venezuela taking down Team USA 3-2, thanks in no small part to the play of Eugenio Suarez. But while talking to Ken Rosenthal after the game, Suarez refused to take sole credit for his […]

For the first time since 2009, Clayton Kershaw will not be a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers when they take the field for Opening Day. From the final days of the Frank McCourt era, to the early Guggenheim Baseball Management era, and then the arrival of Dave Roberts, who has seemingly unlocked his team’s ceiling […]

When it comes to the 2026 NBA MVP award, it’s widely expected to be a three-dog race, with reigning title holder Shai Gilgeous-Alexander duking it out with fellow former MVP Nikola Jokic and Victor Wembanyama, the former first overall pick from France who is turning in an all-time great season for the San Antonio Spurs. […]

Goodness, the Jared McCain trade is the gift that keeps on giving for the Philadelphia 76ers; just not in the way many fans would have hoped. While the red, white, and blue are improbably winning without their Big 3 thanks to a big game from seemingly a different random player every outing, McCain is thriving […]

Though the World Baseball Classic didn’t go the way Shohei Ohtani, Yoshinobu Yamamoto, or a large segment of the Los Angeles Dodgers’ fanbase outside of the United States might have hoped, there is a silver lining of Team Japan’s loss to Venezuela: the gang is (almost) back together. That’s right, while Will Smith is still […]

On Tuesday, the Miami Dolphins did a rather odd thing, trading away Jaylen Waddle mere days after signing Malik Willis to a three-year, $67.5 million contract. On paper, these deals felt rather counterproductive to some, as why would the Dolphins invest so heavily in a veteran quarterback only to trade away his weapons? But in […]

For a team that is explicitly looking to avoid spending big, long-term money in free agency, the Philadelphia Eagles made waves with the addition of cornerback Riq Woolen, the super-sized athletic wonder who just won the Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks. Beginning his career at wide receiver with the UTSA Roadrunners, Woolen transitioned to […]

When news broke that Darius Slay was calling it a career after 13 seasons in the NFL, it was a bittersweet moment for fans of the Philadelphia Eagles. On one hand, Slay was almost certainly not going to play for the Eagles in 2025, as they already signed two free agent cornerbacks, Riq Woolen and […]

While the Los Angeles Dodgers still technically have one player left in World Baseball Classic consideration, with Will Smith representing Team USA as they wait to see their Finals foe, Dave Roberts, Andrew Friedman, and company have continued to refine the team’s roster as they prepare for Opening Day. Taking to social media to announce […]

After being claimed off waivers by the Buffalo Bills last fall following his release from the Pittsburgh Steelers mid-season, Darius Slay made one thing clear: he only wanted to play for the Philadelphia Eagles at this stage of his career. Moved to the reserve/retired list to effectively end his 2025 season, some wondered if Slay […]

After making waves with the addition of Mike Evans in free agency, the San Francisco 49ers are going back to the wide receiver well in a major way, guaranteeing that Brock Purdy has another veteran weapon to throw to this fall in the form of ex-Arizona Cardinals/Jacksonville Jaguars/Houston Texans wide receiver Christian Kirk. Taking to […]

Though the first week of free agency is still technically ongoing, as the legal tampering window only opened up on Monday, March 9 before the official start on Wednesday the 11th at 4 pm EST, it feels like the first wave of signing has officially crested, with the Philadelphia Eagles leaving Round 1 with four […]

When news broke that the Philadelphia Eagles agreed to terms with Riq Woolen on a one-year, $15 million contract, it was generally met with positive marks from the Keystone State cohort. Sure, Woolen is famously volatile, having lost snaps to ex-Eagles cornerback Josh Jobe during Seattle’s Super Bowl run, but after sitting through the Kelee […]

Mere hours before the Philadelphia Eagles were set to void Dallas Goedert’s contract, triggering a cap hit of over $20 million, Howie Roseman has pulled off some typical Howie Roseman magic to maximize his optionality over the weekend. Taking to social media to break down the latest update, The Athletic’s Zach Berman reported that the […]

While the 2026 NFL calendar year has only just begun, with free agency officially beginning at 4 pm EST on Wednesday, March 11, the real show doesn’t begin for the Philadelphia Eagles until the end of April, when Howie Roseman and company will zoom into Steel City for the NFL Draft. Sure, the Birds were […]

While Howie Roseman and company were putting in work at the Jefferson Training Complex trying to secure the best possible free agency deals for the Philadelphia Eagles, defensive coordinator Vic Fangio was at a special event to honor former Eagles head coach Dick Vermeil. Catching up with the legendary defensive coordinator as he helped to […]

When news broke that the Philadelphia Eagles were locking up Jordan Davis on a three-year, $78 million extension, it sparked all sorts of different reactions from across the football world. To some, the deal was well-earned, with Davis improving his play in each of the past three seasons on the way to his best overall […]

On a night highlighted by Bam Adebaya dropping 83 on the Washington Wizards and Maxx Crosby having his trade from the Las Vegas Raiders to the Baltimore Ravens, the Philadelphia 76ers had a pretty exciting turn of events of their own, with none other than recent addition Cam Payne leading the team to a 139-129 […]
