While the Atlanta Falcons took a 27-21 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Sunday’s game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, they lost star receiver Drake London to injury. But according to NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport, London’s absence isn’t expected to be long. “London will have tests done, but the belief is he suffered a hip pointer,”…
I don’t want to overlook Kaden Elliss, who had a resurgent game and got the game ball from Raheem Morris, and I certainly don’t want to downplay what Bijan Robinson did as the centerpiece of this game plan.

The Philadelphia Phillies are heading into the offseason after a very disappointing showing in the 2024 playoffs. They were eliminated in the NLDS by the New York Mets, making it two straight years their stay in the postseason has been shorter than the previous season. As a result, fans are wondering what they will do to ensure things…
The Philadelphia Phillies have some questions to answer this winter. After logging one of the best regular seasons in franchise history, with the most All-Star selections of any team in Major League Baseball, the team was bounced from the postseason after a single win. Now they are left to improve the roster around multiple highly-paid…
The New York Yankees aggressively pursued Japanese superstar Yoshinobu Yamamoto last off-season before he ultimately signed a massive 12-year, $325 million deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 26-year-old right-hander delivered a strong rookie season despite some injury challenges and put on a show against the Yankees in the World Series. Yamamoto would have been the ideal…
