Apparently, the old adage is true: deadlines do spur action. With only one round of games left before Tuesday’s trade deadline, NFL teams are already making moves, including three former All-Pros moving teams this week. The Colts traded away guard Quenton Nelson and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner for a cache of draft picks. Not to…
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – They descended upon Florida in droves, traveling more than 1,000 miles from Waukesha and Green Bay and Madison and Milwaukee and across the state of Wisconsin to witness what no Brewers team before had ever accomplished. They did it because they believed. They believed after seeing these Brewers win a franchise-record…
A few big dominoes have already dropped ahead of the NFL trade deadline, and if we had it our way, there would be many more before 4 p.m. ET arrives on Nov. 10. Last week, we looked at which player on all 32 teams is the top candidate to be dealt before the trade deadline….
It started as an inkling. A morsel of an idea. Farfetched? Perhaps. But it percolated. Quickly. Villanova men’s basketball coach Kevin Willard joined his former agent, Jordan Bazant, for a drink at Campagnola on New York City’s Upper West Side during last year’s Big East spring meetings. As they chatted over a glass of wine,…
Are the Ohio State Buckeyes really a top-5 team without the presence of injured Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin? I asked this question in earnest on X, formerly known as Twitter, and I received a number of replies that ran the gamut, from “Likely not,” to “1,000%, he holds us back.” Personally, I believe the…
For all the excitement that a youth-heavy U.S. men’s national team generated earlier this fall in the Stars and Stripes’ first games since the 2026 FIFA World Cup, don’t expect the roster that coach Mauricio Pochettino drops next week ahead of the Concacaf Nations League quarterfinals vs. Haiti to include quite as many fresh faces….
There was once a time when the NFL trade deadline brought very little pomp and circumstance. That’s no longer the case. This week has been a prime example that very few trade ideas are far-fetched. Three players with All-Pro talent have been traded in the last few days. The Indianapolis Colts traded guard Quenton Nelson…
It’s crazy to think that Micah Parsons hasn’t even played a snap yet for the Green Bay Packers, because they’re starting to look pretty darn good without him. They beat the Carolina Panthers, 27-13, on Thursday night at Lambeau Field. There were warts. There were issues — particularly in the fourth quarter. But the Packers…
Lumen Field (Seattle) — Tyrice Knight said the quiet part out loud. I asked the Seattle Seahawks linebacker how surprised he was to see the Kansas City Chiefs lining up rookie cornerback Mansoor Delane by himself in press coverage against the best receiver in the league: Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Knight shook his head. “They must not…
FORD FIELD (Detroit) — Sitting at his locker, Penei Sewell offered a simple response when asked about what Brian Branch’s return means for the Lions — not just to the defense, but to the team as a whole. The All-Pro offensive tackle pointed to early in the fourth quarter on Sunday, when the Packers faced…
