DODGER STADIUM (Los Angeles) — As Miguel Rojas rounded third base after his improbable season-saving World Series Game 7 home run last November, the cameras cut briefly to his manager. Dave Roberts, who decided to ride with the light-hitting veteran infielder with the Dodgers’ season on the line, screamed in excitement before briefly raising his arms in the air. He then immediately placed his hands on his head, closed his […]

Vanderbilt's Eli Stowers will likely be the second tight end taken in the 2026 NFL Draft, reinventing himself as a pass-catcher with off-the-charts athleticism for his size and earning comps to Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf in the draft process. But becoming a star tight end in college wasn't the path that Stowers was initially supposed to take to reach the NFL. Five years and three schools ago, Stowers […]

There is always baseball happening — almost too much baseball for one person to follow themselves. Don't worry, we're here to help you by figuring out what you missed but shouldn't have. Here are all the best moments from last night in Major League Baseball: Trout goes yard again On Monday, Angels’ center fielder Mike Trout hit a pair of homers, giving him four for the season.

Most of the blue-chip prospects in this year’s draft class are defensive players. So, where will they land? Here’s my projection for 10 of the top defenders, all of whom could hear their names called on Day 1 of the draft next Thursday: EDGE/LB Arvell Reese (Ohio State): New York Jets 2025 stats (14 games): 6.5 sacks, 69 tackles (10.0 for loss), 2 pass breakupsMeasurables: 6-foot-4, 241 pounds Reese, a […]

The Dallas Cowboys' draft strategy isn’t much of a secret, or at least it shouldn’t be. They had one of the very best offenses in the NFL last season and a defense that was dead last in points allowed. So yeah, they need to draft defensive players. Lots of them. As many as they can. In fact, every time they’re about to draft an offensive player, someone in their room […]

If you've perused any NFL mock drafts this offseason, you'll see a familiar theme in the first half of many of them: There are a handful of Ohio State Buckeyes — and that is no mistake, according to NFL Network lead draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah. In the latest episode of "The Joel Klatt Show," Jeremiah put Ohio State's recent run of producing top NFL prospects in historical perspective, saying only […]

For a prospect like Ty Simpson, the NFL Combine was one of the busiest weeks of his life. It is, after all, the world’s most intense job fair, where NFL teams line up prospects to take MRIs and X-rays — of everything — before grilling them with questions about the good, bad and most scrutinized plays from their college careers. But at its core, the combine is a football convention, […]

Matt Crocker is leaving his position as U.S. Soccer’s sporting director with immediate effect to take a similar role with Saudi Arabia, multiple sources told me on Monday. Assistant sporting director Oguchi Onyewu, head of women's development Tracey Kevins and Dan Helfrich, the organization's COO, will assume Crocker's duties in the lead-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico this […]

There is always a place in the NFL for a high-motor pass rusher with cat-like quickness and an exceptional closing burst. Given the importance of disrupting the quarterback’s rhythm and timing in a passing league, it is easy to understand why teams are buzzing about Texas Tech’s David Bailey as the premier edge rusher in the 2026 draft class. The 6-foot-4, 251-pound Bailey terrorized opponents in the Big 12, displaying […]
