LOS ANGELES - The optimism leading into Blake Snell’s first start back in nearly three months went beyond the usual confidence one might expect when a two-time Cy Young Award winner returns to action. It was as if both Snell and his manager knew he’d come out looking like a completely different version of the pitcher who allowed five runs in three innings in his only previous start of the […]

Beginning in late November 2021, when then-Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley jumped ship to Los Angeles to become USC's head coach, the Trojans have operated under various themes to help explain why their rebuild always seems to unfold at such a leisurely pace. The various talking points throughout Riley’s high-priced, pressure-packed tenure have looked something like this: As the Riley era enters its fifth season in L.A., and with the […]

One need only be reminded of the fact that quarterback Sam Darnold just won the Super Bowl to understand that when it comes to the NFL, patience truly can be a virtue. Darnold was in his eighth NFL season and the Seattle Seahawks are the fifth team of his professional career, but the point is the same with second-year breakout candidates. It is so easy to get caught up in […]

Patrick Mahomes' place atop FOX Sports' Nick Wright's NFL quarterback power rankings has been so consistent the segment adopted his name. And, in Wright's opinion, Mahomes continues to be the king of the mountain as the 2026 NFL season approaches. FOX Sports' Chris Broussard, however, felt otherwise.

The stretch to the finish has begun. And everyone continues to chase Alex Palou. The reigning champion earned his sixth victory of the season Sunday at Portland International Raceway. Kyle Kirkwood and Christian Lundgaard are two of the drivers chasing him and they both moved up these rankings. Lundgaard had a hybrid issue in qualifying and started 25th before working his way to ninth in the race. Now, the series […]

Big rallies, another Jackson Merrill homer, a really weird review and Freddie Freeman getting it done – sort of. Monday's MLB action provided all that and much more. Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball: Right fielder Derek Hill scored the first run in this game between the Phillies — holder of one of three NL wild-card slots — and the Cardinals, a team […]

The saying goes you see something new in every baseball game that's played. On that note, we had a unique moment in Monday night's matchup between the Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre. Trailing 2-0 in the top of the seventh inning, the Red Sox had runners on the corners with one out when center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela hit a fly ball to center field […]

The 2024 NFL draft class featured six current starting quarterbacks, three of which have at least reached a conference title game, but there's one signal caller that stands out among the rest, according to FOX Sports' Nick Wright. On a recent episode of "First Things First," Wright said Caleb Williams will end up being the premier quarterback of his draft class, pointing to his arm strength and recent postseason performances […]

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — Even John Harbaugh can’t say for sure whether the Giants are going to be good this season after 12 mostly miserable years. But one thing their new coach is very clear about is that they're going to be prepared. That’s a big reason why his practices are so long — 2.5 hours on Monday in 90-degree heat and stifling humidity, in what was the team’s first […]
