Nolan Gorman Promotion Seems Unlikely

St. Louis Cardinals infielder Nolan Gorman is unlikely to be called up to the big league roster anytime soon. The young slugger already has 10 home runs in Triple-A this season.

Grant Dawson Can Add Another Impressive Victory To His Resume

Unbeaten since joining the UFC after a victory on the Contender Series, Grant Dawson (17-1-1) earned a draw in his last outing against Ricky Glenn in October of last year.

Jared Gordon Hoping To Prevail As The Underdog Saturday

Landing over five significant strikes per minute and riding a three-fight winning streak into Saturday, Samford MMA's Jared Gordon (18-4) will look to make it four in a row against Saturday's opponent, Grant Dawson.

The first round of the 2022 NFL draft is in the books and only one quarterback, Kenny Pickett of Pittsburgh, was selected.

Through 18 games, he's slashing .307/.329/.587 with four home runs, seven doubles, two stolen bases, 12 RBI and 13 runs. While those numbers are no doubt impressive, his underlying statistics are even more eye-popping. He currently has […]
