14 teams ... ugh. I still like 4 teams from each league. Three division winners and a wild card (to avoid situations like the 1993 Giants). I don't like to lean too hard into the nostalgia and olden days, but when every damn series for the final six weeks has nailbiting tension, that's when I think ...

Good piece that firmly assigns the blame where it belongs: https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/333 ... ne-arrives

Very small sample size, but the Embiid+Harden+Maxey scoring trio has really made Tobias a non-presence on offense

I still think, for this season and postseason, it might be better to focus on Maxey leading the second team offense, rather than getting significant minutes when Harden is also on the floor.

Some thought is going around now that owners have overplayed their hand. They're trying again, and failing again, to get a mediator involved.

Nationals offered Juan Soto 13/350 extension.
That's $26.9M per year for his age 23 through 35 seasons.

Everything is nicely aligned for Phillies ownership to claim that the hyper-shortened offseason...

Seeing how the rest of the games turned out, I think it's pretty clear that the Stafford-to-Kupp pass in the final moments of the Rams-Bucs game saved us from Tom Brady winning another Super Bowl. He wasn't going to lose to the 49ers or Bengals.

The last resort it to trade a package for Wilson that allows them to retain two of their 1st round picks so they can fill glaring holes, say a 1 and a 2 plus next years' 1. I would ride with Hurts before overpaying for an aging Wilson. ESPN's attempt to mock out potential offseason QB trades had th...
