2026 Fantasy Baseball: Top 150 rankings for Dynasty leagues, complete with value rating system
Part of what makes a Dynasty league so satisfying is that not every team has the same agenda. Depending on where you are in the contention/rebuild cycle, you can feel like your season was a success even if you don't win. But the ultimate goal is still to win, even if not this year, and to do that, you'll need to do more than hoard prospects. At some point, they'll need to become fully-formed contributors to your success. The league-winners aren't actually the prospects, then, but the core players -- early-to-mid 20s, putting up stud numbers, no end to their greatness in sight. That's what you're hoping the prospects become. But what about those that are a little long in the tooth, still early-rounders in redraft leagues but with, indeed, the end of their greatness in sight? How do they […]
Cash rules everything around sports: The K-shaped economy widened gaps between haves, have-nots in 2025
The K is coming for sports … and we’re not just talking strikeouts.If you’ve spent any time perusing financial news lately … first, congrats on an iron constitution, but second, you’ve surely seen the ever-increasing references to a “K-shaped economy.” Briefly put, it’s a way of describing how the rich are getting richer — as in, net worth is moving up and to the right — while the poor are seeing their line decline.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe K-shaped economy lives in sports, too, and for the exact same reason: Money is flowing toward, and consolidating around, a few key teams, programs and individuals in each sport, leaving the others to fend for whatever scraps are left. There have always been haves and have-nots in the sporting universe: the Yankees and the White Sox, the Lakers and the Wizards, Ohio State and Rutgers. But […]

College football’s Christmas Grinches of 2025: Lane Kiffin at top after ditching Ole Miss’ CFP team for LSU
As a connoisseur of holiday favorites this time of year, why not incorporate a personal cartoon favorite into the college football stratosphere before the College Football Playoff and bowl season kicks into high gear? You see, the Grinch's backstory is a sad one, stemming from being teased as a child for his appearance, leading to a life of reclusiveness as someone who hated the joy associated with celebrations.There are a couple college football-level outcasts coming out of the 2025 season, too. They're not as ugly as their green counterpart, but provided ample reasons to be despised by fans, viewers and others associated with the sport.This one's meant to be somewhat satirical and light-hearted, but if it makes you feel some type of way it might be time to look in a mirror and get in a more festive spirit before […]
