It’s not hard to understand why facing Jacob Misiorowski is often a fruitless endeavor. Prior to this year, Jordan Hicks was the only starting pitcher in the pitch-tracking era (since 2008) to eclipse the 103-mph mark on a fastball. He did it twice in 2022. Misiorowski did it 143 times this year alone. Cardinals catcher…
Can Kamario Taylor keep it rolling against No. 7 Alabama, or will Kalen DeBoer’s history of defeating ranked teams continue? Will Jon Sumrall and No. 8 Florida continue to climb the rankings? In the Big Ten, No. 14 Iowa’s stingy defense will try to finally stop Ohio State superstar Jeremiah Smith, while No. 18 USC…
Tucked high in the upper rungs of Michigan Stadium, Eric Brown clasped his hands near his mouth, almost as if to warm them on a cool fall afternoon. His wife, Lesley, stood to his right with the same pose – equally nervous, hands held equally tight, heart palpitations running equally high. The Browns are deeply…
DODGER STADIUM (Los Angeles) – Before they took the field on Opening Day, Dodgers players had a gift waiting in their lockers, courtesy of their best player. Next to a brand-new Seiko watch was a note. “From Shohei Ohtani. Let’s three-peat.” The goal has existed on the periphery all season, usually unspoken yet omnipresent as…
If your team has reached this stage of the MLB postseason, there’s a good chance you’re also thinking: Could this be the year we finally win the World Series? Or, if you’re a Dodgers fan – could we really make it three in a row? Each of the eight teams left has its own strengths…
For five teams in the NFL, the 2026 season couldn’t have gotten off to a better start. The Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers, Las Vegas Raiders and Minnesota Vikings are all 3-0 to start the season. For the Bills and Chiefs, their starts have become what we’ve grown accustomed to seeing in…
So you think the 3-0 Raiders are capable of doing more than just reaching the playoffs. That the “Trio in Rio” game shows that Lamar Jackson and the Ravens are coming for the Lombardi Trophy. And that there are better days ahead in Green Bay for the reeling Packers. I hear ya, but that doesn’t…
Before the College Football Playoff, there are conference championship games to be played. Will Georgia go back-to-back in the SEC? Can Oregon march its way back into the Big Ten title game for the first time since 2024? In this week’s edition of “The Joel Klatt Show,” FOX Sports’ Joel Klatt made his October projections…
We’re not even a month into the season, and six NFL teams have already had to replace their starter for at least one game. The Atlanta Falcons and Chicago Bears have had to replace two potential starters, and they got two very different results from their QB3s. Cooper Rush sabotaged a talented Falcons offense that…
When Justin Herbert threw a costly interception in the Los Angeles Chargers’ loss to the Buffalo Bills last week, Tom Brady was more than blunt when he assessed the quarterback’s errant throw. “There’s a safety in the middle of the field. Poor awareness, poor decision, throws him a meatball sub,” Brady said of Herbert’s throw,…
