Running back Ezekiel Elliott, who spent the first seven years of his professional career with the Dallas Cowboys before being released in mid-March, remains unsigned nearly three months into free agency. While a market for the three-time Pro Bowler hasn't materialized to this point, Elliott doesn't appear too desperate to ink a deal anytime soon.

While Swift is known for her fan engagement and surprise on-stage moments, this particular encounter took an unexpected turn.

The Clemson Tigers are cooking with gas at the inside linebacker position thanks to their latest 2024 commitment.Sammy Brown, a five-star linebacker from Jefferson, Georgia, is a big-time recruit. He's an elite high school linebacker in every sense of the word.

The Missouri Tigers landed themselves a more than notable hoops commitment over the weekend in the person of 7-foot-3 center Connor Vanover.He's a big man and he's experienced, which are two traits that certainly play in college basketball. A Little Rock, Arkansas native, Vanover played for the Arkansas Razorbacks in 2020-21 and 2021-23, averaging 5.1 points and 3.3 rebounds in just 12.1 minutes per game. Playing time was obviously a concern and it undoubtedly played into his transfer to Oral Roberts last season, where he averaged 12.7 points and 7.2 in an extended role with 25.8 minutes per game.Now heading to...

The best stat to determine a player's worth is WAR--wins above replacement--an analytical metric that was not available until relatively recently. The formula for WAR differs for position players and pitchers, and I'll lay it out in layman's terms. WAR uses every aspect of the game-- batting, baserunning, and fielding, factors in position and ballpark and determines how many wins better than a league average player an individual player might be. Using WAR to help us rank them, let's look at the top 24 players in the history of the Oakland Athletics franchise.Eddie Plank 1901-1914 (77.2 WAR) (1 of 24)Leading...
