The four charter entries were fielded by four different teams, including...

Fourth-grade teacher Maria Fratta lives in New York, but now she has a place to stay in Anastasia Island. Fratta was announced Wednesday as the winner of HGTV’s Dream Home sweepstakes. A new, fully furnished home in St. Johns County is just one of the prizes Fratta receives — she also takes home $100,000 and a new Mercedes Benz.

The North Carolina Tar Heels staff have been doing everything they can to make up for the departures on the 2023–2024 roster. UNC star Armando Bacot is out of eligibility after five seasons that featured many lows but greater highs that UNC fans will remember for a lifetime. Transfers Cormac Ryan and Paxson Wojcik have also exhausted their college careers, while James Okonkwo entered the portal and made his way to Akron. Harrison Ingram placed his name in the NBA Draft, but rightfully so after displaying elite basketball prowess throughout the entire season.

Just months from the NFL's preseason, the San Francisco 49ers welcomed a slew of rookies this year. In the first round of the 2024 draft, we saw the NFC champions select wide receiver Ricky Pearsall. The former Florida Gator is not the lone offensive weapon the Niners retooled their offense...

Houston, TX

In my last article, I mentioned three players from the NFL that the Houston Texans should hope become cap casualties. However, you can’t sign players without having to cut somebody to make room, so let’s discuss three players we should hope the Houston Texans release in June. The Texans are deep at a handful of positions and can afford to release a player or two at said positions. On the offensive line, for example, the Texans have Tytus Howard already on the roster who can play inside and outside. Then the Texans drafted Blake Fisher this year. That roster situation could force a surprise cut to be made between right now and Week 1 of the season.

Cleveland, OH

When the Cleveland Browns decided to part ways with former offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt and replace him with Ken Dorsey, one question was asked — who would call plays?. Since taking over as the head coach in 2020, Kevin Stefanski has handled this job. While he takes criticism...

John Calipari rebuilt Kentucky into a college basketball power by embracing the one-and-done era, recruiting five-star recruits who previously would have gone straight to the NBA were it not for a new league rule requiring them to attend college for a year. Cal landed top-tier players like Anthony Davis, John...

Following a humiliating blowout in Game 6 to the Dallas Mavericks, the Minnesota Timberwolves could seek a star-for-star trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers this summer in a retool for both squads. Although both the Cavaliers and T-Wolves have the ultimate goal of reaching the NBA Finals, neither team could reach...

Shota Imanaga is one of the best stories in baseball. The 30-year-old Japanese rookie has had a Fernando Valenzuela-like impact for the Chicago Cubs, flummoxing opposing batters through the season's first two months with an almost anachronistic arsenal of pitches. Shota-mania has hit Wrigley in a big way, and the...

Saint Louis, MO

It has been about a decade since the NFL last had a team in St. Louis. In what used to be home to the Rams and Cardinals before that, St. Louis is all about the Battlehawks now. While St. Louis does have three professional teams, one in MLB, MLS and the NHL, you have to wonder if the NFL made a huge mistake in leaving this midwestern metropolis behind for good, or for merely the second time already.

By and large, the Angelos family selling the Baltimore Orioles to the ownership group led by David Rubenstein was met with cheers from Orioles fans far and wide. There were certainly some good times under Peter Angelos' stewardship, but there is no denying that a lot of aspects about the Orioles declined once John Angelos became the family's point man, especially when it came to the team's payroll.

Orioles owner's latest comments should quell thoughts of wild spending spree

Philadelphia, PA

The St. Louis Cardinals are about to face one of their toughest tests this season in the form of the 39-18 Philadelphia Phillies, but instead of bringing out their best lineup to compete with the Phillies, the Cardinals are rolling with Brandon Crawford at shortstop in place of young star Masyn Winn.

Brandon Crawford's dilemma can't justify the Cardinals' lineup decisions

There’s a rumor of WWE being interested in creating a mid card championship for the women’s division on the main roster. It's an intriguing conversation point, and one that’s come up in the past. With such a stacked roster on SmackDown and Monday Night Raw, it could make sense if a new title was introduced and built correctly. But there’s more to the solution than just throwing a new championship in the mix, there needs to be more stories within the division as well.

Boston, MA

The Boston Celtics are four games from hanging their 18th banner from the TD Garden rafters and their first since 2008. In the offseason, though, they can still look to bring in more bench scoring to help their starters age gracefully. Enter 2011 NBA MVP and No. 1 overall draft...

The Philadelphia Eagles acquired Kenny Pickett from the cross-state Pittsburgh Steelers in March. The deal essentially amounted to a pick swap, with the Steelers dumping Pickett to make room for Russell Wilson (and eventually Justin Fields). For Philadelphia, it was a unique opportunity to land a former first-round pick for pennies on the dollar.

The Patriots 2024 draft class has garnered a lot of excitement already despite not having yet played in a true NFL game, but one of their more under-the-radar good picks is not receiving the hype he probably should be. In the seventh round, New England chose Jaheim Bell out of...

The New York Mets have completely entered a tailspin, capped off by the recent public catastrophe put together by reliever Jorge Lopez. As a whole, the organization is in a shambles. They desperately need a rebuild. Not the type of rebuild that takes a season, but a complete roster reshaping. They need to bite the bullet, trade away their expiring pieces and begin embracing the fact that they're not built to win just yet.
