Back-breaking stat defines Pirates' slide that has taken them out of playoff contention
With Wednesday's 8-2 loss to the San Diego Padres, the Pittsburgh Pirates officially notched their third double-digit losing streak in the last four years. When they embarked last week on what would turn out to be a disastrous road trip out west, the Pirates were still very much in the playoff hunt – just two games under .500 and 4.5 games back of a National League Wild Card spot, to be exact. Now, they sit eight games under .500 and eight games back of the final Wild Card spot, and their playoff hopes have effectively disappeared into thin air.

Steelers should reunite with polarizing former wide receiver before the season
With all the rumors surrounding Brandon Aiyuk recently, it's clear the Steelers are interested in upgrading their wide receiver room before the season begins. And it's easy to understand why since the team traded Diontae Johnson in March and never really added a replacement for him. With the odds leaning towards Aiyuk staying in San Francisco, the Steelers will need to pivot to another wide receiver option.

You Never Bet Against a McConnell: Duquesne’s Star Returns for Final Ride
Megan McConnell, or “Meg,” as she’s known around Duquesne, is not your ordinary five-foot-seven guard. McConnell, who shares a last name with some of the city’s all-time great hoopers, stands at fifth place on Duquesne’s all-time rebounding list. The scrappy guard has made a name for herself on all ends of the court — from rebounding the ball, to tenacious defense, to electrifying offense.

Boston College 2024 Opponent Previews: Duquesne
That said, the Eagles have a stellar record against FCS opponents. Holy Cross almost got them last year, but BC has not lost to an FCS or DI-AA team since falling to UMass 27-0 in 1978. Given how much the Dukes lost to graduation and that they got trounced by superior teams (West Virginia, Coastal Carolina, Delaware, Youngstown State), it's hard to view them as a serious threat to Boston College. Nevertheless, they're on the schedule, so let's dive in.

Penguins Notebook: Expect Crosby Lockdown
The assumed watershed dates have come and gone, with nary a public peep from those inside the Pittsburgh Penguins’ contract discussions with all-time great Sidney Crosby.
