The Los Angeles Dodgers came up eight wins short of three-peating. With the Dodgers – who were the defending, back-to-back World Series champions – being swept by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 2026 National League Championship Series, the 1998-2000 New York Yankees remain the last MLB team to three-peat. Will the Dodgers bounce back in 2027? Here's what happened to the last 10 MLB teams that repeated as World Series […]

LOS ANGELES — Minutes after the Brewers got on stage and accepted their trophy for winning the National League pennant, manager Pat Murphy stood on the green grass in the center of the outfield at Dodger Stadium and tried to find the words for how they slayed the dragon. After a beat, the lightbulb in his brain went off. "We can’t be their whipping boy all the time," Murphy told […]

Curt Cignetti 2.0 is incoming. The rebuild at James Madison is all but complete, and No. 5 Indiana is already preparing for what comes next. The caliber of talent Cignetti continues to bring to Bloomington through the transfer portal is evidence of that. But another upgrade could make the Hoosiers even more dangerous. I still marvel at the reality that Indiana has become a football powerhouse in just two years’ […]

It didn’t take long for the Rams to lose that "super team" sheen. One poorly planned trip across the globe and an uncompetitive loss to the 49ers did most of the work. Splitting their next four games, including Monday’s overtime loss to the Bills, finished the job. And now this team that was expected to dominate the 2026 season faces an uphill climb just to get back in the NFC […]

Urban Meyer laughed when he saw the words in front of him. He was sitting in a meeting with Gene Smith, Ohio State's athletic director at the time, reviewing the objectives for the Buckeyes’ head coaching job — one Meyer was about to accept. And on a piece of paper, the statement "win every game" was written out. Meyer couldn’t believe it. Ohio State would be his fourth college head […]

Rumors of Tom Brady's potential return to the gridiron have persisted since he last stepped off the gridiron at the end of the 2022 season. While he isn't planning a comeback, Brady knows exactly which team he would want to play for if he unretired today. In the latest edition of #AskTom, Brady had a "pretty simple" answer when asked which team he'd most want to play for. "I'm a […]

By now, you’ve heard some variation of the story. Indiana athletics director Scott Dolson has told it countless times. It’s been printed in newspaper copy for months. It’s been chronicled in books about the remarkable rise of Hoosiers football. Nobody knew exactly who Indiana hired in Curt Cignetti in December 2024, but there was an idea, a feeling, an inkling about what he might represent and what the Indiana brass […]

Can No. 4 Ohio State avenge its Big Ten championship game loss to No. 5 Indiana on "Big Noon Kickoff"? Will No. 6 Alabama bounce back against No. 14 Tennessee after a loss to No. 1 Georgia? Elsewhere, a College Football Playoff spot could be on the line when No. 2 Notre Dame visits No. 8 BYU. Austin Simmons leads No. 13 Missouri against his former team, No. 9 Ole […]

DODGER STADIUM (Los Angeles) — Brewers first baseman Jake Bauers stood off to the side of a frenzied Brewers clubhouse that had, as right-hander Trevor Megill said, "more reporters than players in here." The small-market Brewers are not used to all this attention on them. Neither is Bauers. With his back against a wall, wearing a cream-colored zip-up and a hunter green hat with the words "Needed This" across the […]
