Elly’s super-power and super-speed have been sapped. But why, or by who? Elly De La Cruz is an amazing baseball player, but something doesn’t feel right.   Elly burst onto the scene as a rookie in the MLB by demonstrating some ridiculous traits: He was absurdly fast – He had a better arm than most pitchers –  He had world-class power –  He was the kind of player you would design in a video game –  But here’s the problem: all those highlights?  They happened in 2023, Elly’s ro

Delane may be great, but he isn't solving the Bengals defensive issues. Mansoor Delane is a terrific player. He isn't a tremendous athlete, but he’s technically and fundamentally sound – to an extreme extent. He was penalized exactly zero times, and didn't allow a touchdown in all of 2025. He projects as the kind of corner you can leave on an island. He can do it all: man or zone, press or off coverage. But for the Bengals, drafting a corner at #10 is a major long-term inv

Stop me if you’ve heard this before: the Cincinnati Reds looked baffled by a lefty, and they couldn't get a timely hit.

Not only do the Reds, apparently, have no chance of making a playoff appearance, the majority of baseball’s intelligentsia would tell you a winning record is a long-shot.

A season removed from looking like one of the worst hitters in baseball, Matt McLain is tearing up spring training.  And it’s earned him the No. 2 spot in the Reds lineup.

The Allen signing is a solid one, but nothing more.

It was quiet at first, and then without warning, the Bengals landed two defensive starters in Boye Mafe and Bryan Cook, and all at a reasonable price.

It would have been easy for the Bengals to throw in the towel after a lost season, but instead they've rallied to play their best football. After demolishing the Cardinals today, they've reminded the NFL world that they're still dangerous, and that better days still could be on the horizon.
