Whoever is in charge of purchasing at Soldier Field, hit us up. We can make some noise on the way out together.

It's can't be a good sign that @CraigHaley has brought out a lucky rabbit's foot in making this week's FCS predictions.

#MLB pitchers are arguably better than they've ever been.

Eclectic and extensive repertoires make it difficult to truly measure command, but command+ changes that. Read about the pitchers who have forced an adjustment to the AI model. ⬇#MLB pitchers are arguably better than they've ever been.

[Jayson Stark @jaysonst]

The Twitterverse has been demanding since the Ynoa slam that I find out whether 2 pitchers who hit a slam have ever been traded for each other before.

So thanks to @StatsBySTATS we now know it's happened - but not much. And not since Rick Wise/Steve Carlton almost 50 years ago!

The #Bears filled their biggest need, but why didn't the #Steelers?

Dylan Cease of the @whitesox is the second pitcher in the modern era to strike out 10 or more, allow no more than one hit and also have 3+ hits at the plate in a game.

The other was Catfish Hunter in his perfect game on May 8, 1968.

[Jackson Frank @jackfrank_jjf]

With borderline elite passing, shooting and handling, Darius Garland is going to be a star in this league soon.

The Chicago #WhiteSox were shrouded in hype coming into the 2021 season. With a young and talented core, anything was possible...

But nobody could have predicted Yermin Mercedes would be the most impressive slugger for the South Siders. We analyze whether he's the real deal. ⬇The Chicago #WhiteSox were shrouded in hype coming into the 2021 season. With a young and talented core, anything was possible...

Quarterbacks are usually quick to come off the board in the #NFLDraft and this year will be no different.

We look at the history of teams selecting QBs with their first pick and analyze just how likely they are to make an immediate impact. ⬇️

28 TDs, 0 INTs & the greatest season in FCS history. We went to Fargo to document the freshman season of @NDSUfootball's Trey Lance. The story ended up being so much more.

Before next week’s NFL draft, we’d like to introduce you to NDSQBU.

Stephen Curry of the @warriors has more games with 40+ points and 10+ threes over the last 8 days (4) than any other NBA player has had over his entire career.

[OptaSTATS @OptaSTATS]

Carlos Rodón of the @whitesox has tossed the second no-hitter of the 2021 MLB season.

This is the earliest into a season (by date) there have ever been two no-hitters.

[OptaSTATS @OptaSTATS]

After a 7-0 loss today, the Cubs are now hitting .163 on the season.

That's the 2nd-lowest average by any team through 12 games in the modern era, behind only the 2003 Tigers (.159).

[OptaSTATS @OptaSTATS]

Lance Lynn of the @whitesox is the first pitcher in American League history to throw a shutout with 10+ strikeouts and no walks in his team's home opener.

[ESPN Insights @ESPNInsights]

UCLA vs Gonzaga and 2016 North Carolina vs Villanova are the only 2 Final Four games since 1985 that featured multiple game-tying or go-ahead shots in the final 5 seconds.

The game finished with 19 lead changes, the most in any NCAA Tournament game this year.
