As pitchers and catchers report to Florida and Arizona for spring training this week, baseball faces an interesting juxtaposition. The offseason is officially over, yet there are so many premium free agents and quality major league-level players still on the market that it’s hard to predict with a complete level of certainty how teams will […]
Month: March 2018
Granted, it’s likely the North Carolina product only wanted to continue his career in-state.
Maples possesses what could be the most devastating slider in baseball, not only because opposing hitters whiffed at it nearly 20 percent of the time and didn’t get a hit against it in 11 at-bats in fact, he struck out 10 of those 11 with his slider but also because it can betray him pretty […]
Former Seattle Seahawks cornerback Jeremy Lane has been officially charged with driving under the influence after a January arrest in King County.
According to Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times, Lane was stopped by police on January 16 for going 90 miles per hour on eastbound I-90. Speed limit on the freeway is either 60 or 70 miles per hour depending on the exact location of the traffic stop. Even given a list which includes players like […]
As long as they’re not the quarterback who kneeled or sat in protest during the national anthem of every game during the 2016 season.
Legal issues or not, though, teams are acting exactly the same this offseason as last year with Kaepernick; signing, almost literally, any and every player who has ever taken a snap, as starters and backups, for eight-figure salaries and league minimums. The state of quarterbacking has not changed in a year, and for the most […]
7 numbers behind the Vikings’ decision to spend lavishly on Kirk Cousins
Another big factor in Minnesota’s decision to cough up heaping amount of cash for Cousins? He found ways to win, even on an average Washington team. He tied for the league lead (alongside new division rival Matthew Stafford) with four game-winning drives last season, a number made even more impressive by the fact his squad […]
The victim in the incident suffered injuries not considered life-threatening.
Officers first began investigating after someone reported to police around 8:30 p.m. on March 3rd that Smith was involved in a domestic violence incident. When officers responded to the Bush Street residence, Smith had already left. On Friday, however, the Dolphins pulled an unexpected move, sending Landry to the Browns for a pair of draft […]
Sources: Browns trading two draft picks to Dolphins for Jarvis Landry
The Cleveland Browns are trading two draft picks to the Miami Dolphins for wide receiver Jarvis Landry, sources tell ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Cleveland is sending a fourth-round pick this year (123rd overall) and seventh-round pick in 2019 to Miami for Landry, as first reported by MMQB and confirmed by ESPN. The Browns are also working […]
Even though Kizer was a second-round pick in 2017, it just didn’t make sense to stick with him any longer.
Why did the Packers trade for Kizer? No one will criticize Cleveland’s decision to move on — at least not any time soon. The real team under scrutiny will be Green Bay after sending away a solid cornerback to get a turnover-prone mess at quarterback. But Kizer needed time to develop. He dealt with turnovers […]
MLB free agency: Rockies, Carlos Gonzalez reportedly near one-year deal
Carlos Gonzalez and the Rockies are nearing a one-year deal, according to FanRag Sports. Gonzalez is coming off of one of the worst years of his career where he posted a .262 batting average with 14 home runs and 57 RBIs. The 14 home runs and 57 RBIs were career-worsts in years in which he […]
Damian Lillard disappointed in Russell Westbrook’s negative All-Star comments
Russell Westbrook threw shade at newly minted All-Stars Kevin Durant and Damian Lillard Tuesday while saying teammate Paul George should have been selected to the Western Conference team. Westbrook’s “[players] complaining about getting snubbed” comment was believed to be directed at Lillard, who responded Wednesday to the “disappointing” remarks. “I respect Russ a lot, so […]
