On July 30, the day of the MLB trade deadline, Mike Elias and his staff made a chaotic flurry of moves. The Orioles wheeled and dealed with five different teams in trades that involved 12 players. Add in the Birds’ two previous trades July 26 and the club ultimately acquired or sent away 19 players…
The end of any baseball season that doesn’t conclude with a World Series title is disappointing when a club has championship expectations in spring training. But for the Atlanta Braves, the organization and its fans have to be excited about turning the page to 2025. The hope is that the new calendar year will bring a…
The Atlanta Braves made a change to the coaching staff on Thursday and hired Tim Hyers as hitting coach. 53-year-old Hyers previously coached the Texas Rangers and helped lead them to the World Series title in 2023. He has also spent some time with the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers. The Atlanta native will replace Kevin Seitzer, who the Braves fired just two…
The Denver Broncos are 4-3 and coming off a big win going into Sunday’s game against the 1-6 Carolina Panthers, who are coming off a blowout loss. The matchup has trap game written all over it.

On Saturday, the San Francisco 49ers sat at the top of the NFC West standings. Just five days later, they find themselves—at least temporarily—in last place. Sunday’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs dropped the 49ers to 3-4. Coupled with the Los Angeles Rams’ upset win over the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night, they have…
The Philadelphia Eagles (4-2) are looking looking healthier as they get ready to take on the Cincinnati Bengals (3-4) in Week 8. Only two starters, tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring) and right guard Mekhi Becton (concussion) did not practice on Thursday. Insider linebacker Zack Baun (shoulder) returned to practice after being held out on Wednesday. Several other key starters,…
The Philadelphia Eagles, much like many other contenders, could use a boost on the edge. A contender can never have too many capable pass rushers. Philadelphia has had some question marks at defensive end, although things have started looking better over the last two weeks. The Eagles still should be looking for ways to add more depth,…
When things get ugly, so does the locker room. That hasn’t officially been the case for the New York Jets, but there have been some instances that haven’t exactly been promising. As the Jets move forward and try to win games at the level they need to if they want to turn their season around, blaming…
Davante Adams didn’t like what he saw in his first official game as a member of the New York Jets. The Jets are 2-5 and they’ve lost two games since owner Woody Johnson fired head coach Robert Saleh. That was supposed to be the moment that rejuvenated this team, but they went out and promptly lost to the Buffalo…
Trade rumors have followed Kendrick Bourne for much of his Patriots tenure.

The 49ers discussed Bourne with the Patriots this offseason, as the defending NFC champions would have wanted him to come back if Brandon…
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua caught seven passes for 106 yards in a 30-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday after missing his last five-plus games with a sprained MCL in his right knee. His performance clearly thrilled head coach Sean McVay, who had this to say postgame, per NFL Network’s Bridget…
Following Week 5, L.A. was completely hemorrhaged with injuries all over the roster with a 1-4 record. Puka Nacua hadn’t played since the season-opener. Cooper Kupp went down the week after. Matthew Stafford was even the subject of insane trade scenarios. Not even two weeks later did Stafford get his top receivers back, and all is…
