Chad Green Charged With Blown Save

New York Yankees relief pitcher Chad Green blew a save opportunity in Monday's victory over the Royals. While technically not a traditional ninth-inning save chance, Green was still tasked with protecting a one-run lead with men on first and second, which he ultimately didn't do after allowing a game-tying single. Aside from that, Green has […]

Fool Me Once... Second-Year Tight Ends Set to Bust?

An NFL player entering his rookie year in the league generally has high expectations for himself. Unfortunately, those expectations may not be met for all players and some may fall flat in their first NFL campaign. A player entering his sophomore year will once again have high expectations and they may sometimes breakout, but other […]

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver D'Wayne Eskridge (foot) has been dealing with an injury this offseason that landed him on the Physically Unable to Perform list in late July.

Tutu Atwell Activated From COVID-19 List

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell was activated off of the team's COVID-19/Reserve list late last week after spending a week on the shelf.

College Football Betting Picks - Heisman Futures

The upcoming college football season has much more certainty than we were afforded at this time a year ago.

Champ or Chump: Tylor Megill

Cleveland Indians catcher Wilson Ramos went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Monday's 9-3 win over the Cincinnati Reds.

Matthew Stafford Will Not Play In Preseason

Speaking about Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford in an interview with Doug Gottlieb, head coach Sean McVay stated that there is zero chance that Stafford would ever take a snap in the preseason as long as he is the coach.

Doc Redman Likely a Miss at Wyndham Championships

The summer swing has not been very kind to Doc Redman. As a matter of fact, it has been at times a downright disaster. Redman has not golfed on tour for a month now and missed two cuts before this week. He barely made the cut at the Travelers and then shot over par for […]

Si Woo Kim One to Steer Away from at Greensboro

Si Woo Kim could not make birdies last week and then there was that 13. It will be a hole people talk about for some time. It could also have a lingering effect this week at the Wyndham Championships. The Korean golfer did have a nice Olympics but even there, could not make enough putts […]

Russell Henley Could Be Factor At Greensboro

Russell Henley is one of those golfers that can contend at these high-volume birdie tournaments. The Wyndham Championships is no exception as winners lately have made around 25 birdies or so over the course of the four-day tournament. Can Henley come close to that? Yes. Before The Open, Henley was in the top-20 even a […]

Harold Varner III Just Not Ideal to Recommend for Wyndham Championships

Can Harold Varner III surprise many like he did at the John Deere Classic? Absolutely. He was easily a few missed putts from finishing in the top five there (tied for 11th). The problem is since he finished in a tie for second three months ago at the RBC, Varner III has been too inconsistent. […]
