Drake Maye has a mammoth task ahead as he tries to halt the downward spiral at the New England Patriots. The 22-year-old is the latest quarterback attempting to fill the void left by Tom Brady, who led the Patriots to six Super Bowl victories during his 20-year tenure. Since Brady’s departure, Patriots fans have endured…
For a moment it appeared that perhaps Clayton Kershaw had moved on from the Houston Astros‘ previous sign-stealing cheating scandal. The Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher was recently asked which players are the best top of the batting order hitters he has faced. Kershaw was seemingly on the verge of giving Jose Altuve and Alex Bregman credit, but then he immediately mentioned the Astros’ scandal and accused…
With the season on the line, the Baltimore Orioles’ bats just couldn’t perform or produce enough to compete. A second consecutive postseason sweep has fans questioning the viability of one supposed franchise cornerstone. Because while most of the Orioles’ batters disappointed, only Adley Rutschman entered the postseason already slumping at the plate. Over 58 games…
There are few names as synonymous with the Green Bay Packers than that of their legendary quarterback, Bart Starr. The Pro Football Hall of Famer, who also served as the team’s head coach from 1975 to 1983, left an undeniable mark on the franchise and the state of Wisconsin as a whole.

The mission for Dave Dombrowski this off-season is clear: acquire plate discipline. That’s easier said than done, as most players with great discipline are star players on good teams who aren’t being traded and won’t become free agents until they’re either old or busted. The need is especially acute in the outfield, one of the…
The San Francisco 49ers (3-3) could have had an advantage entering Sunday with ten days off since their last game. That advantage, however, is lost, as the Kansas City Chiefs (5-0) come to Santa Clara off of their bye week. The Chiefs’ last game was Week 5, when they beat the New Orleans Saints by a final score of 26-13, the…
The man who sings the National Anthem at Boston Bruins home games is coming to Springfield for a special performance before Saturday night’s Thunderbirds game.

Many in baseball expected the Chicago White Sox to trade both Luis Robert Jr. and Garrett Crochet at the trade deadline this year. But, Chicago held onto both players as they weren’t getting the trade returns that they expected to get. Now, this offseason, Robert is expected to be dealt while Crochet is a bit of a…
I am admittedly walking a tight rope here. I am trying to accomplish two different things in one article without boring everyone to tears. First, I want to reintroduce the Hall of Fame Index and what it does. Secondly, we are using it as a way to evaluate what the Astros can do with Alex Bregman and…
The San Francisco 49ers will have revenge on their minds when they face the unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs in a Super Bowl rematch on Sunday.

Not only are the Packers a good team — they’re 4-2 and coming off their most complete game of the season — but there’s certainly gravity in the location of the game. Green Bay’s Lambeau Field is…
