Posted on August 29, 2018, by Travis Pulver College football has technically already returned, but we have yet to see any of the marquee teams take the field. But everyone is going to be getting in on the fun this weekend. There are even a few teams that are brave enough to take on a serious […]
Posted on August 29, 2018, by Bryan Zarpentine After beginning the preseason with a three-way competition at the quarterback position, the New York Jets appear to have made their decision. On Wednesday, the Jets traded Teddy Bridgewater and a 6th-round draft pick to the New Orleans Saints for a 3rd-round pick. With Bridgewater out of […]
Posted on August 28, 2018, by Bryan Zarpentine For the second time in less than a week, the Oakland Athletics have lost a key part of their starting rotation to injury. The club placed veteran lefty Brett Anderson on the DL Tuesday with a strained forearm. The move comes just a few days after fellow […]
Posted on August 28, 2018, by Bryan Zarpentine The Philadelphia Phillies just can’t stop adding hitters for the stretch run. On Tuesday, they added one more, acquiring Jose Bautista from the New York Mets. Bautista figures to be primarily used off the bench. However, he still has some power, and as we all know, he […]

Posted on August 26, 2018, by Travis Pulver The return of Andrew Luck was a joyous occasion for Indianapolis Colts fans. But as the preseason has gone on, that joy has been slowly replaced with dread. What if he gets hit on his surgically repaired shoulder and it gets messed up again? Can he take it? […]
Posted on August 26, 2018, by Travis Pulver The Chicago Bears want to make sure Mitchell Trubisky starts the 2018 season as healthy as possible. So, rather than give him a half in Saturday’s preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs, the second year QB was on the sideline. You would think that would mean good […]
Posted on August 25, 2018, by Travis Pulver The New York Jets retained the services of Josh McCown so that he could start this season and give the Jets a stable presence behind center. But they also traded up and took Sam Darnold with the No. 3 pick in the draft. As much as they may […]
Posted on August 25, 2018, by Bryan Zarpentine The 2018 season is almost over for San Francisco Giants catcher Buster Posey. The club announced Friday night that Posey will undergo season-ending surgery on his hip Monday. The surgery has a recovery time of six to eight months.

Posted on August 25, 2018, by Travis Pulver When the Washington Redskins lost Derrius Guice for the season, head coach Jay Gruden wasn’t too concerned. Last season’s running back room wasn’t too bad, and he still had all of them—until he didn’t. Samaje Perine will return this season, unlike Guice, but he is injured as is […]
In May of 2018, the Supreme Court struck down the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992, opening the door to states to enable single game sports betting.

Posted on August 24, 2018, by Travis Pulver If there is any preseason game where legitimate conclusions can be made about a team, it is the third one.
