Phillies free agent decisions, options: Who stays, who goes?

by Evan Macy

Whether or not the Phillies have a new GM (soon, perhaps) or Matt Klentak is given a free pass for the misery that was the 2020 baseball season in Philadelphia, there will be no shortage of killer decisions to be made.

Flyers 2020 NHL Draft preview: Mock draft roundup, first round guide, more

by Evan Macy

The Flyers are finally among the top contenders in the NHL, which has a two-fold effect on their first round pick in Tuesday night's NHL draft. For one, they are picking toward the bottom — 23rd overall — which naturally comes with making a playoff run the season before.

by Evan Macy

The level of devastation may not have had the big names of Week 2 (when we lost Saquon Barkley, Christian McCaffery and others), but there are more than a few key fantasy football skill players who left their respective games without returning in Week 3, and each could have an impact on your team or your league.

Carson Wentz has gone from potential superstar to game-manager

by Evan Macy

Carson Wentz, in Year 5, probably is who he is. A quarterback with a lot of skill and talent, but who is simply unable to reach his full potential for whatever reason — be it injury-related, mental or physical.
