20 consecutive scoreless innings streak for #Cubs bullpen comes to an end on a cheap homer.

But still, wow.

The Cubs lead baseball with 25 stolen bases, and still have been caught only once. Just one team has been caught zero times, the Red Sox, and they've attempted only 15 steals. The Cubs are freaks.

Well, that was frustrating. #Cubs

Got a point there. #Cubs
I don't know.
The Cubs should probably consider re-signing that Kyle Tucker guy.

Cubs catcher Carson Kelly has hit for the cycle.

He’s the first Cub to hit for the cycle since Mark Grace on May 9, 1993. That had been the longest cycle drought by an NL team. Only the Royals have gone longer without one.

Welp. Splitting a 4-game series on the road isn't the worst thing.

But when your bullpen gives up 10 runs, that's rough. #Cubs

#Cubs bullpen, man. 10 runs.

Cubs lose to the Dodgers 4-1, same ratio as their respective payrolls.

The Vikings are indeed releasing center Garrett Bradbury today. He'll have a post-June 1 designation, which will bump cap savings up to $5.25 million for this year.

Bradbury, the highest-drafted center in franchise history, started 92 games, including four playoff starts, over six seasons.

Twenty-six years ago, Iowa's all-time winningest coach was let go in the pursuit of the "next level" and it took Fran McCaffery to clean up the resulting mess 11 years later. McCaffery is now gone, and this time, the costs have gone up. iowacollegehoops.com/2025/03/15/t...

No. No. No. No. I implore/exhort/urge the #Vikings to stay away and proceed as planned with McCarthy.
Here’s what you need to know.

The Vikings are having discussions about what they want to do at quarterback and if they want Rodgers.

Rodgers is giving them time and waiting to hear from Minnesota.

The Vikings have yet to make a decision.

We all wait.

Every report describing Aaron Rodgers the way a crazy ex is described is hilarious.

The Steelers are 'giving him space' to make his decision.

His transformation into Favre is basically just a dick-pic scandal and charity scheme away

Total cap hits of the five #Vikings deals we've seen terms for so far (Byron Murphy Jr., Jonathan Allen, Aaron Jones, Isaiah Rodgers and Ryan Wright): $23.51 million.

Rob Brzezinski and senior manager of football administration Emily Badis are running a master class.

From what I just filed on the Vikings signing Jonathan Allen:

Between 2018 and 2023, Allen averaged 46 quarterback pressures annually, according to Pro Football Focus. The Vikings haven't had an interior defender with at least 40 pressures in a single season since Sheldon Richardson's 2018 season.

The #Vikings agreed to terms with former Commanders defensive tackle Jonathan Allen early this morning. The two-time Pro Bowler gets a three-year deal with the team.

Source confirms the #Vikings signing former Colts center Ryan Kelly to a two-year deal. Kelly has been a center his entire career, playing in four Pro Bowls. We'll see what this means for Garrett Bradbury.

Sam Darnold has agreed to terms with the Seahawks, per source.

The top free agent quarterback available, Darnold gets the three-year deal he sought and heads to Seattle after a career year in Minnesota.
