Chase Edmonds Ready To Be The Starter

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury feels that running back Chase Edmonds can be an every-down back in the NFL, and Edmonds will enter training camp this summer as the team's No. 1 back after they let Kenyan Drake walk in free agency and didn't spend a single draft pick at the position. The 25-year-old […]

Yelich ended a four-game hitless streak with his fifth multi-hit game of the season, but the most important thing is the fact that he went deep for […]

Freddy Peralta Continues The Strikeout Barrage In No-Decision

Milwaukee Brewers starting pitcher Freddy Peralta didn't factor into the decision after giving up two runs on three hits and four walks while fanning seven across 4 2/3 innings against the Reds. Peralta showed swing-and-miss stuff once again -- he's fanned at least seven in nine straight appearances and owns what would be a career-best […]

Patriots Kicking The Tires On Julio Jones

The New England Patriots have had internal discussions about trading for Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones. Trade talks for Jones could intensify as June 2 approaches.

A.J. Allmendinger Not So Surprisingly Ends Up Fifth At Austin

Ross Chastain Takes Wild Ride To Fourth Place At Austin

Ross Chastain was all over the track on Sunday at the EchoPark Texas Grand Prix but wow did it look like one wild ride. The No. 42 led four laps in between pit windows and used every inch of the course in getting there. Again, he was someone that could have even contended for the […]

Joey Logano had one of the fastest cars at Circuit Of The Americas this weekend. The problem was the rain.

Kyle Larson Finishes Second In Rain Soaked Austin Race

The good thing about a rain-shortened race is when one achieves a result few expect. Kyle Larson had been performing solidly during practice and qualifying. Few knew what it would be like on race day. The question was answered emphatically as Larson led four laps and had a shot of catching Chase Elliott if the […]

Chase Elliott Finally Wins His First Race In 2021

It was one crazy, rainy afternoon but Chase Elliott survived and found a way to lead at the right time at Circuit Of The Americas. The Hendrick Motorsports Racing driver only had to run 54 of the scheduled 68 laps. With all the standing water on the track and expected worsening conditions, the race had […]

Running Back Stat Busts - Missed Tackles Forced

Plunging into the world of football analytics is without question a great way to find fantasy sleepers for the coming season. Especially in the case of running backs, considering overall elusiveness is arguably the best way to determine how good (or bad) a player's performance was. And that's what this is all about. I will […]

Taylor Trammell Stays Hot, Goes 4-for-4 At Triple-A

Seattle Mariners outfield prospect Taylor Trammell had a rough first taste of MLB action in 2021 but he's rebounded in a big way since being demoted to Triple-A.
