Categorizing baseball’s best (and worst) teams with the stretch run in sight.
Stu’s Notes: How Did College Basketball Fans Not Notice Kyle Filipowski’s Girlfriend?
A disappointing performance by the lifeblood of the sport.
Joe’s Notes: Who Are Baseball’s Biggest Stars?
Objectifying the subjective, as much as one can. Then: Rich Paul’s Australia threat, the USMNT’s failure, and Purdue Pharma’s House v. NCAA parallel.
Stu’s Notes: Who’s Weirder—Texas A&M or Tennessee?
Also: Just Stop Oilers, and the Gay Mets’ international man of mystery.
Joe’s Notes: Will There Ever Be Another Wayne Gretzky?
No matter what he does tonight, Connor McDavid is only an echo of what Edmonton once saw. Also: Tennessee sports, Houston’s AD, and a little Lane Kiffin.
Stu’s Notes: If the Panthers Blow a 3–0 Lead
Don’t bother making fun of Panthers fans. They have you outmatched.
Joe’s Notes: JJ Redick Went to Duke
He even played basketball there! A look at why JJ Redick’s probably a good hire.
Stu’s Notes: Behold (and Beware) the Gay Mets
Also: Riot potential and NCAA Tourn*ment expansion.
Stu’s Notes: Remembering Willie Mays
A collection of tributes, memories, and reactions from last night and today.
Joe’s Notes: Brad Stevens, Theo Epstein, and the Nature of a “Next Step”
At 47 years old, Brad Stevens has his championship. What comes next? We look at another boy wonder for clues.
Joe’s Notes: The ACC–SEC Battle, Beyond the College World Series
It’s not as lopsided as it appears.
Stu’s Notes: Will Adam Silver Make Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum Fight?
We must salvage the narrative.
Stu’s Notes: The NIT Was Way Better Than the NBA Playoffs
Another triumph by basketball’s greatest tournament.
Joe’s Notes: The Florida Panthers Exist Because of Blockbuster
How did hockey come to Miami? Well, there was this movie called The Mighty Ducks…
Stu’s Notes: Did Cardinals Fans Really Give Paul Skenes a Standing Ovation?
Let’s examine the facts.
Joe’s Notes: How Scottie Scheffler Compares to the Historic Greats
Where Scheffler’s third major before age 28 would put him against Woods, Nicklaus, and the rest.
Joe’s Notes: The NC State Lawsuit and House v. NCAA
A basketball team from the 80’s wants its NIL money. We were supposed to be at peace!
Stu’s Notes: Poor Jayson Tatum
Jayson Tatum might not deserve our respect. But he probably doesn’t deserve this. Also: Yusei Kikuchi lit up Tyler Soderstrom and Dan Campbell committed a very Dan Campbell rules violation.
