When it comes to the Los Angeles Dodgers, there’s Shohei Ohtani and then there’s everyone else. Sure, the team is absolutely loaded with talent, with Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman both having MVPs, while Yoshinobu Yamamoto will soon join Blake Snell on the Cy Young list before his career comes to an end. But the […]

Thanks to a stuck ball, a broken bat, and a bang-bang double-play, the Los Angeles Dodgers are World Series champions, and while the confetti hasn’t even been fully cleaned up from downtown, there’s already talk of doing it all again next fall.

After making a trade earlier in the week to bring in Michael Carter II from the New York Jets, reuniting him with the man who drafted him, Joe Douglas, the Philadelphia Eagles did it again on Saturday afternoon, acquiring Jaire Alexander and a 2027 seventh-round pick from the Baltimore Ravens for a 2026 sixth-round pick. […]

In Game 6 of the World Series, Yoshinobu Yamamoto laid it all out on the line for the Los Angeles Dodgers. After turning in two straight complete games for the Dodgers in Game 2 of the NLCS against the Milwaukee Brewers and in Game 2 of the World Series, Yamamoto completed six innings for Los […]

Talking to reporters before Game 6, manager Dave Roberts was asked which of his starting pitchers are available […]

On Wednesday afternoon, Howie Roseman did what he does best: trade some future capital for a win-now Philadelphia Eagles player. With his cornerback depth looking suboptimal, especially as Darius Slay and Isaiah Rodgers both played fairly well for the Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings, Roseman called up the New York Jets and reunited slot cornerback […]

After watching Blake Snell surrender two home runs on his first three pitches of the game, the Los Angeles Dodgers needed someone to step up and get the boys in blue on the board. Tied up 2-2 in the series with a certified rookie sensation on the mound in Trey Yesavage, Kiké Hernández went up […]

After turning in a complete win over the New York Giants in Week 8, the Philadelphia Eagles have a week off to talk about their successes, their failures, and really set out a plan for the second half of the season, which should almost certainly feature more play-action from under center.

Though he’s barely played 100 games at the NBA level, it’s clear the San Antonio Spurs have a generational talent in Victor Wembanyama.

Though the 2025-26 NBA season is still young, one of the more exciting stories of the campaign has been the lights-out play of rookie guard VJ Edgecombe, who has been playing at a borderline All-Star level for the Philadelphia 76ers right out of the gates. Dubbed an athletic freak with sky-high potential but plenty of […]

To say VJ Edgecombe’s rookie debut with the Philadelphia 76ers has been impressive might actually be an understatement.
