55+ min ago (548+ words) The end of the college football season is all about who is in the playoff picture and who has qualified for a bowl game. A secondary aspect of the end of the season is the coaching carousel. Movement happens all over college football as coaches look for the next opportunity to advance their careers. Amidst all the shuffle, Lane Kiffin decided to leave Ole Miss, stay in the conference, and become the head coach at LSU. While it is rare for coaches to stay in conference, Kiffin's situation is even more unique because the Rebels are bound for the College Football Playoff. Typically, when a coach takes another job, they leave their current team behind. Kiffin, though, has led Ole Miss to the 2025 College Football Playoff, and wanted to have his cake and eat it too. The new LSU head…...

9+ hour, 13+ min ago (491+ words) By now, New York Yankees fans already know that the Toronto Blue Jays signed pitcher Dylan Cease to a seven-year, $210 million contract. If Cease pitches up to his capability, the deal is understandable, but based on his inconsistent history, most have agreed that this was a massive overpay for a guy who posted a 4.55 ERA with the San Diego Padres this past season. The Yankees were never going to sign Cease anyway, so losing out on the 29-year-old really isn't a huge deal. However, the contract the Blue Jays handed Cease may have just ruined things for New York regarding another free-agent arm: Michael King. Of course, King spent his first five big-league seasons with the Yankees between 2019 and 2023, mostly serving as a reliever before being traded to the Padres in a deal that brought Juan Soto to the Bronx…...

15+ hour, 22+ min ago (273+ words) The hosts controlled the early stages, dictating the tempo and probing for openings. They almost struck first when Luca Herrmann bent a shot from distance narrowly wide, serving early notice of their intent. D'sseldorf responded by hitting the post through a Cedric Itten header, but minutes later, on the stroke of half time, Dresden landed the opening blow. Konrad Faber pushed forward and whipped in an inviting cross that sailed over Jesper Daland and fell perfectly for Alexander Rossipal, who drilled home to give the hosts a 1-0 lead at the break. Dresden doubled their advantage less than ten minutes after the restart. Vermeij initially struggled to bring down a Niklas Hauptmann delivery, but he recovered brilliantly, sorting out his feet before lifting the ball over the onrushing Florian Kastenmeier to make it 2-0. The hosts had further chances to put the…...

17+ hour, 43+ min ago (853+ words) It was too good to be true. The Nashville Predators had some momentum with a two-game win streak after sweeping their two-game road trip in Detroit and Chicago. As has often been the case this season, any signs that the Preds may be figuring things out went up in smoke Saturday, as the Winnipeg Jets brought them back to earth with a 5-2 loss at Bridgestone Arena. The victory snapped a four-game losing skid for the Jets, who were coming off a 5-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes the night before. Gabriel Vilardi, Nino Niederreiter (2) Cole Perfetti and Kyle Connor had the Jets' tallies, while Nick Blankenburg and Luke Evangelista got the only goals for the Predators. The Jets wasted no time striking first. Vilardi scored just 47 seconds into the contest. Former Pred Nino Niederreiter tallied in the final minute of the…...

1+ day, 3+ hour ago (280+ words) The Golden State Warriors will be seeking a much-needed win over the hapless New Orleans Pelicans on Saturday night, but they'll have to do so without their star guard. Steph Curry will miss the game against the Pelicans due to a quad injury. He has been officially ruled out of the contest. Curry suffered the injury during Golden State's recent 104-100 loss to the Houston Rockets. He is expected to miss around a week of game action due to the issue, which is a relief to the Warriors organization, as Curry appears to have avoided a more serious injury. "It's a big relief," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said of the injury. "You always worry when Steph goes down that it's something that's going to keep him out for a while. So, the fact that we're taking it by the week and…...

1+ day, 5+ hour ago (943+ words) HALIFAX " Twelve years after winning Olympic curling gold " and some 16 months after joining his current team " Brad Jacobs is heading back to the Winter Olympiad. Calgary's Jacobs, who replaced former skip Brendan Bottcher in April of 2024, defeated Winnipeg's Matt Dunstone 6-5 to sweep the best-of-three Olympic Trials finale at Scotiabank Centre. In a cautious first end, Matt Dunstone made a call with fellow Manitoban Colton Lott and slid down the ice planning to throw a come-around to lie two. Halfway down, his Ontario front-enders " E.J. and Ryan Harnden " changed the call to a hit and roll, which the skip made perfectly to lie two. Jacobs' last stone was a hit and roll " not a draw " which he then made perfectly. Were the teams still spooked from the previous night's playing conditions? There were no signs of that in the next end, which…...

1+ day, 9+ hour ago (342+ words) Roma face Napoli in the Serie A at the Stadio Olimpico on Sunday evening, hoping to consolidate their position at the top of the standings. They defeated Cremonese 3-1 in their last league fixture, becoming outright table-toppers after Inter Milan lost 1-0 to AC Milan. Napoli also won 3-1 at home against Atalanta to sit joint-second on the table, two points adrift of Roma. The last time Roma were outright table-toppers was after Matchday 10 in the 2015/2016 season. The Giallorossi have not been prolific, ranking sixth for goals scored (15), but boast a strong defence, conceding just six goals, the fewest in the division. However, they have struggled against the league's biggest teams, losing to Inter and Milan. Beating Napoli would send a message that they can compete against the heavyweights. Roma will look to Napoli's shaky defence, which has conceded 11 goals. However, they also…...

1+ day, 13+ hour ago (376+ words) The Baltimore Orioles have been frequently linked to the top closer options on the market this winter, with Felix Bautista likely to miss almost, if not all, of the 2026 season. With a clear need for a ninth-inning option, the Orioles were keeping tabs on a lot of different options. While Edwin Diaz was the top choice, a different New York Mets free agent reliever wound up being the signing. According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, the Orioles are signing former Mets and St. Louis Cardinals All-Star closer and right-hander Ryan Helsley to a two-year contract. "Closer Ryan Helsley and the Baltimore Orioles are in agreement on a two-year contract with an opt-out after the first season, pending physical, sources tell ESPN." Passan reports.
