Ernie Clement almost beat Shohei Ohtani in the MLB All-Star fan vote this year and I need you to actually sit with that for a second, because it explains every single thing wrong with how this whole thing gets decided. The MLB All-Star Fan Vote Just Handed Ernie Clement Ohtani’s Spotlight Clement’s a good story,...

The World Baseball Classic curse talk is back, and this time it’s not even a stretch, because the actual tournament MVP is out here having a worse year than the guy who just got shredded for seven runs in four innings. That’s not a joke. That’s just where the sport is right now in July....

Penguins free agency day one has come and gone The Penguins made a few signings, and an intriguing trade. No one notable left the roster and none of the RFA’s have signed a contract. Analytically, all of the signings look to be solid bets. Shea was allowed to walk, so too were Acciari and Clifton....

NHL free agency opens in mere hours. However, absolutely no needle movers are available. Due to this, the NHL is experiencing one of the first true offseason trade booms of our lifetimes. Teams have little reason to spend big today, and historically it’s been a terrible way to build a team. The only real way...

The NHL draft has come and gone and the Ruck twins are headed to Pittsburgh, but almost everything else about the Penguins roster for next season has likely not changed at all.. For the first time in years, there was a considerable amount of trade action throughout the league, but the Penguins did not participate....

Vegas is wrong on at least six of the 2026 NFL win totals and I’m saying it now, before a snap gets played, before training camp, before one of these quarterbacks pulls something in a Thursday walkthrough that definitely should have been a day off. Three teams the market is sleeping on and three that...

Giannis Antetokounmpo ended a fourteen-year run in Milwaukee on Tuesday and was in a Heat uniform by Wednesday, and I spent the next 48 hours thinking about every NFL guy who should be watching that and taking notes. June 1st already happened, Myles Garrett to the Rams and AJ Brown to the Patriots in the...

The NHL may have just experienced its craziest day in recent memory, and if you’ve been following Penguins trade rumors, things are about to get real. About a decade ago we got the famous 1-for-1 deals involving Larsson for Hall and Subban for Weber but yesterday may have been even more explosive. Many pundits have...

This weekend in the NHL started out rather quietly. After the Darren Radysh and Michael Kesselring trades, not much seemed to be happening. Sure, plenty of rumors were swirling, as they always are this time of year. Sunday saw an uptick in action and ended in a blockbuster, and it might be the clearest sign...

The 2026 MLB trade deadline is August 3rd, and the market is actually good this year. There’s a two-time Cy Young winner sitting on a 32-44 team with no path back. A franchise gave up two top-30 prospects six months ago for a rental pitcher and is now 34-42. A front office in San Francisco...

So I’m sitting there watching Canada hang six on Qatar yesterday and somewhere around the second red card, when Qatar’s down to nine guys defending a World Cup match with two fewer humans than everybody else on the grass, all I could think was damn, that sucks, and then about four seconds later the better...

The Mike Babcock Oilers situation is the only place to start. It was reported during the finals that the Oilers have decided to hire Mike Babcock as their next head coach. Now, if you don’t remember Mike Babcock has been publicly shamed for his over the top hard-ass coaching style by several players. Mitch Marner...

NHL trade rumors are already flying and Carolina hasn’t even had the Cup for 48 hours, which tells you everything you need to know about what kind of offseason this is actually going to be. It has long been speculated that this will finally be the offseason of massive player movement. Usually, NHL insiders dub...

The NFL expansion cities conversation is one I’ve been waiting to have properly for a while, because the league has been flying to Melbourne and Rio and Madrid while entire American cities with millions of people sit there with nothing, and now a guy connected to Tom Brady and the Raiders just dropped that 34...

The Jordan Staal Conn Smythe win was the story last night, and the Carolina Hurricanes were not leaving Las Vegas without the cup. Congrats to the Canes and their fans, it has been a long time coming to be honest. They have been a premier team in the Eastern Conference for damn near a decade...

I’m not sitting here and watching five teams waste this. The White Sox are leading the AL Central, the A’s are at the Wild Card cut line, the Marlins are on a nine-game win streak, the Cubs are half a game out of a playoff spot, and the Pittsburgh Pirates are right there with Paul...

Every Tarik Skubal trade conversation in baseball is about to get very real, because the man has back-to-back Cy Young awards, the best single-season K-to-walk ratio in the history of Major League Baseball at 13.14, went 18-4 with a 2.39 ERA in 2024 to win the AL pitching Triple Crown, then posted a 2.21 ERA...

Jordan Staal’s scoring streak through five straight Stanley Cup Finals games has been the story of this series, and last night only made the case louder. Once considered regular season merchants have done a complete 180 on the narrative this season. They also did a 180 on their second period performances throughout this series. Carolina...
