Mid-Season Report
We have arrived at the halfway point (sort of thanks to a 17-game schedule) of the NFL season. Here’s a brief rundown of who are contenders, outsiders and are planning for next season.
Continue reading1. Philadelphia Eagles
Another late season collapse will likely spell the end for head coach Nick Sirianni. Which would be the most Philadelphia thing since they let go of Doug Pederson not long after winning a Super Bowl.
2. Dallas Cowboys
Owner Jerry Jones is as defiant as ever. Yet, I can’t imagine him staying with the status quo if the Cowboys don’t at least get to the NFC Championship game.
3. New York Giants
I have a feeling that letting RB Saquon Barkley go will bite them in the butt for a long time.
4. Washington Commanders
If rookie QB Jayden Daniels can stay upright, they could push towards a .500 season with the pieces they’re putting in place around him.

For the 94th year of the Midsummer Classic, baseball goes to Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. The last time the mid-summer classic was played in Arlington was in 1995. Now every year there is always a lot of discussion and some of it a little dated about how the teams are put together. No system will ever be perfect. Fans don’t always get it right and managers won’t either, nor the commissioner’s office. The fact that the players are able to vote for participants was a great choice and they know who is deserving. Regardless of who should or shouldn’t be in the game lets just accept that the best players will always be involved one way or another. Here are my all-stars keeping with the rules that every team be represented and a total of 32 players for each league.
AVG – Batting Average
ERA – Earned Run Average
HR – Home Runs
RBI – Runs Batted In
SV – Saves
BAA – Batting Average Against
WHIP – Walks/Hits Per Innings Pitched
K – Strikeouts
Stats are accurate as of July 13th
* – asterisk indicates starter

+ – indicates injury
1. Los Angeles Dodgers
A lot has been said about how much money they have spent this past offseason. Even with their offseason splurges, they haven’t been back to the World Series since winning it in 2020.
2. Arizona Diamondbacks
They shocked the baseball world by getting to the World Series last year. With the way their offseason went, they want to prove it wasn’t a fluke.
3. San Francisco Giants
It could all go well and they get back into the Postseason or could come crashing down. Bringing in Bob Melvin as the manager would suggest that it will work out.
4. San Diego Padres
For all that this franchise has done the past few seasons, it’s probably best that they fly under the radar.
5. Colorado Rockies
If not for a draft lottery now, they would be guaranteed the number one pick in the 2025 MLB Draft.
Player to Watch: P Tyler Glasnow – Los Angeles Dodgers
Best Acquisition: DH/P Shohei Ohtani – Los Angeles Dodgers
New Kid on the Block: OF Jackson Merrill – San Diego Padres
