The last thing the Philadelphia Phillies need is another absence from their star catcher, J.T. Realmuto. On Saturday, the team announced that it has called up catcher Aramis Garcia from Triple-A Lehigh Valley. He has been added to the roster as a third-string catcher, causing worries about Realmuto's status. Garcia...

There are prayer circles popping up all over Green Bay right about now. They might not be enough. Packers quarterback Jordan Love suffered a lower leg injury in the final seconds of Friday night's loss to the Eagles. Initially it looked like his ankle was rolled under a defender. And...

Michael Rucker's career as a Philadelphia Phillies pitcher didn't last long, if it even happened at all. The Phillies' offseason acquisition barely got a chance to prove himself on the mound and is now part of a rival NL East organization. On Friday afternoon, the Phillies announced that the right-hander...

Washington, DC

The Washington Commanders have a lot on their plate entering Week 1 at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Dan Quinn and his coaching staff must mesh a new-look roster that looks entirely different following wholesale alterations from general manager Adam Peters. That's a tough task in itself, but there might be elements outside of their control to contend with to further complicate matters.

State College, PA

Tom Allen was a defensive-minded head coach at Indiana. Yet, his only two winning seasons came because of the efforts of his quarterback, Michael Penix Jr. Nobody knew it then, but Penix, who carried the Hoosiers to 8-5 in 2019 and 6-2 in 2020, with a win that still give Nittany Lions fans nightmares, ultimately became a first-round NFL draft.

The sun is shining a little brighter in Chicago on Thursday. No, it doesn't have to do with the start of the NFL season and the Bear's home-opener on Sunday. Instead, it has to do with Chennedy Carter and the Sky. Chicago has lost seven games in a row, with...

The 2024-25 NBA offseason is officially in its slowest part. Top free agents signed with their new teams months ago, and training camp is still over three weeks away.

Boston, MA

The Boston Celtics needed to have everybody on the same page last year in order to win a championship. They succeeded, and Banner 18 came home to Boston. And what’s even better is that Brad Stevens is bringing back a nearly identical roster heading into next season. However, two players won’t be back: Oshae Brissett and Svi Mykhailiuk.

Cleveland, OH

After boasting the NFL's highest-scoring offense last year, the Dallas Cowboys will face the league's top defense to open the 2024 season. While CeeDee Lamb is back, points might be hard to come by against Myles Garrett and the Cleveland Browns defense, especially on the road. It's a tricky matchup...

Florida’s manufacturing sector is facing another significant hit as Leggett & Platt, a long-standing player in the industry, announced the closure of its Plant City manufacturing plant. This move, set to impact nearly 80 workers, marks another instance of job losses in the state this August, following the recent announcement of Aviara Boats’ plant closure.

The Detroit Pistons have had their share of “hidden gems” over the years, players who were vital but who didn’t get much attention around the league. Guys like Vinnie Johnson and Tayshaun Prince immediately stick out, as does Lindsey Hunter, players who were key parts of championship teams but didn’t always get the accolades of their star teammates.

Surprising Pistons player named a "hidden gem" of the NBA

From 2021 to 2023, Caleb Williams, formerly of the USC Trojans and Oklahoma football programs, was one of the best, if not the best, quarterback in college football. Williams won numerous awards at the college level, highlighted by hoisting the Heisman Trophy Award in 2022. Each season, he finished in the top ten in college football regarding passing efficiency rating and adjusted passing yards per attempt. Still, he ultimately never led his team to the College Football Playoff.

They're shaped like a potato and tend to bake in hot weather, biologists say. That's why you will find cheeky little pikas in Colorado's mountains. But climate change could cause these critters' numbers to dwindle, according to wildlife experts. Like polar bears, Pikas may predict warmer temperatures, scientists say.

At least on Saturday, college football upsets weren't overflowing from the margins. In fact, we had to make it to Sunday and Monday for the standalone games to cash our only two upset picks of the week (thanks to the USC Trojans and Boston College Eagles for getting it done) that cashed. It's a shame that Florida State is no longer ranked so we can't take advantage of that again in Week 2.
