Sunday’s NFL slate somehow had a little bit of everything. We arguably had the best game of the young season, with the San Francisco 49ers taking down the Seattle Seahawks in a thriller to remain undefeated. The Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars had two lead changes in the final 15 seconds of their game in…
TWO DAYS AFTER Jackson Chourio’s walk-off hit in the National League Division Series, Brewers reliever D.L. Hall was asked for a pitcher’s perspective on facing the 22-year-old October sensation. In other words, if he had to throw to Chourio, what would he do? Hall didn’t say anything. Instead, he grinned as he held up four…
They won’t speak of this one for long in Bloomington. Heart rates were up. The wind whipped. And somehow, some way, No. 7 Indiana slogged to a 20-17 win over Nebraska in a game that felt more reminiscent of the Tom Osborne era in Lincoln. The Hoosiers weren’t sharp on Saturday. The run game was…
MILWAUKEE — One team in the National League Championship Series won the most games in Major League Baseball, posted the best run differential in the sport, ran away with the division by 14 games behind an offense that had the highest batting average and on-base percentage in baseball and shut down opponents with a pitching…
Georgia is the best team in college football, and now they’ve got the No. 1-ranking to show for it. And I feel vindicated in my belief about Kirby Smart’s Dawgs: If maleficent Martians had a death laser pointed at the Earth with a crusty gnarled finger on a button ready to press it unless one of the…
The Guardians saved their best for last. The White Sox backed them into a corner after storming ahead to a 2-0 series lead. With no home-field advantage and being forced to win three consecutive games in order to advance, the Guardians had everything going against them. Apparently, that type of pressure is all Cleveland needed…
The top three teams with the best regular season records remain, along with a squad that personifies a never-quit attitude. We’re knee-deep in October baseball with both the Championship Series set to give us plenty of stars and drama. Let’s look at what it will take for each team to reach the World Series, their…
The 2027 NFL Draft is still more than six months away, but offseason priorities are starting to bubble after a full month of the regular season. Granted, there are a few winless teams that never would have expected to be in the position they’re in. Moreover, a quarterback class that looked like it could be…
This is my first post-World Cup power rankings. I love power rankings and I especially love counter rankings. FIFA has their own rankings (released on Oct. 7), and I’m sure they spend a lot of time and money and technology on the formula to come up with it. I can’t say I do the same,…
SAN DIEGO, Calif. — Matt Arnold is a stress eater. On Wednesday night at Petco Park, tortilla chips were the guilty pleasure for the Brewers’ president of baseball operations. But by the eighth inning of the game that would send his team through to the National League Championship Series for the second straight season, the…
