The 1997 Florida Marlins would infamously win the World Series in such a way that would make Yogi himself a little jealous. Edgar Renteria walk off single to bring the title to a club that was just five years old which had been an unfathomable achievement. The spotlight will forever shine on that magical October, but let's move it away from the…

As much as we like to believe the opposite, one play is never entirely responsible for any result in college football. But there are particular moments that seemingly define the season.

The first batch of MLB all-star voting results was revealed this week, which gives us a perfect opportunity to talk about the Toronto Blue Jays' brightest star. Of course, we mean Vladimir Guerrero Jr., who owns a 1.048 OPS this month. If your mind first drifted to Alejandro Kirk, don't worry - we'll mention him, too. As Toronto enjoys Thursday's…

A recent New York Times report on confidential documents relating to a LIV Golf blueprint devised by a consultancy firm shed some intriguing light on the Saudi Arabian quest to build a profitable, robust breakaway league. To the casual observer, the LIV business model would appear about as sustainable as the strategic thinking behind an inflatable…

The top-rated racehorse on the planet has raced for the last time. John Sadler-trained Flightline has been retired to stud just hours after landing the Breeders' Cup Classic. It marked a sixth successive career victory for Flightline at Keeneland, with the $6m race helping to boost his total career earnings to well over $4.5m. Jockey Flavien Prat…

With the regular season officially over and only conference championship games remaining, this could be very easy for the College Football Playoff selection committee -- or extremely controversial. Here's what is certain: Two-loss Clemson and the ACC are out following the Tigers' home loss to South Carolina. The ACC is guaranteed a champion with at…

The Kansas City Royals are destined to have a better 2022 campaign than their previous season, but they will have plenty of competition along the way. Their schedule is no joke, nor are many of the teams they'll play over the course of the year. If the Royals are competitive this season, it will be well-earned. Alright, let's have some fun. Here is…

As if the past 2 weeks weren't demoralizing enough for Illinois and its fans. Now, the Illini may be without their nation-leading running back heading into its toughest challenge of the season. Chase Brown, who leads the nation in rushing with 1442 yards, went down late in Illinois' 31-24 loss to Purdue with a right leg injury. Brown had trouble…

Not many gave it a second thought when Texas A&M entered the season ranked No. 6 in the preseason AP Top 25.

I've related NFL, NHL, even Olympic Games betting scenarios to the Monty Hall Problem before. It's a whale o' fun, but first we should get to another cross-sport metaphor when it comes to the EPL's long-term odds for spring 2022. Fitting that late Arnold Palmer is in charge of a golf tournament this week, because Arnie was more comfortable coming…

Last night, the New York Yankees clinched a spot in the MLB Postseason with a satisfying 10-inning 5-4 home win over the Boston Red Sox. Nicely done. The Yankees have yet to clinch the American League East, but they're a comfortable 7.5 games ahead of the Toronto Blue Jays, which puts them in the driver's seat when it comes to the new-look six-team…
