The MLB home run race is shaping up to be pretty, pretty good
If I told you at the start of the MLB season that the league’s home run race would come down to the final two weeks of the season and would be between a pitcher, catcher, and someone in contention for a Triple Crown, you would’ve called 911 and told them a patient had escaped from the local asylum....

2021 NFL Preview - AFC West: The Chiefs got better and will still rule this division and the conference
Like it or not, this is still Kansas City’s division to lose. It’s not very often we can look at a team that went to the Super Bowl two years in a row and go “Wow! They really improved this offseason.” Yet, that’s exactly what the Chiefs did. The biggest problem for the Chiefs in the Super Bowl was ...
Sporting Kansas City and the Rapids were unclear on the concept last night

The Padres are going to protect Fernando Tatís Jr. by moving him closer to a wall
You’ll have to forgive the Padres, as the Giants kind of stole the season they thought they were going to have.

Three yards and a cloud of dust won’t cut it in AFC North anymore, and draft proves it
When I think of the AFC North, I think of smashmouth football. I think of Jerome Bettis vs. Ray Lewis. I think of physical, hard-hitting games, ending in scores like 13-9.
