As we move through the major conferences, it is Big 12 day here at Buffalo Wins.  If you like lots of points, and no defense, this is clearly the league for you.  This conference produces the least amount of NFL talent of all the power 5s.

The New York Mets surprised everyone yesterday when they announced that third baseman David Wright was set to begin a rehab assignment with High-A St. Lucie. Wright, who has been sidelined for the whole season with a shoulder injury, had been essentially out of sight and out of mind while the Mets floundered to a disappointing season

Last week, the Edmonton Oilers handed out the expected massive contract to center Leon Draisaitl. I’m a little late to the party on this topic, but of course the Oilers signed the big man during the one week where I was away on vacation all summer long. Anyway, the deal really shouldn’t come as a shock to anyone

One of the most intriguing offseason surveys is the one that predicts which rookies will go on to be the most successful in the league. As it relates to this class, there are at least five guys that have the potential to go on to be superstars.

I wrote this recently :  … the fact that a young pitcher who has as much talent as Steven Matz can go this long a stretch being this bad is an indictment on the Mets coaching staff. Yes, Matz is bad. If he’s tipping pitches, if his approach of trying to pitch to contact is wrong, that’s on him.

Well, this is a predicament. Because he fouled a ball off of his shin ( not because he is overweight) , Miguel Sano has been placed on the 10 day disabled list, and will likely remain there until September. To attempt to replace his girth in the lineup, the Twins have recalled Kennys Vargas for the 215th time this season

I echo Beans of Australia’s sigh of relief that nothing too dramatic came out of yesterday’s joint practice between the Eagles and the Miami Dolphins— except that our former and somewhat goofy well-paid cornerback Byron Maxwell got torched in several friendly drills against his former team. Perhaps the best news of all is that our 1st-round pick rookie DE Derek Barnett was back on the field after a mysterious absence on Sunday due to an undisclosed “lower body” injury. Turns out it was just a bruised thigh—which when you’re that young as a highly conditioned athlete simply means you took a day off for hot tub therapy.
