Drake Maye made a leap in Baltimore and took the Patriots with him

It had to be this way. Down 11. Teammates strewn across the field, almost a dozen lost to injury. A bad pick and lost fumble behind him. But everything he wanted still ahead. Drake Maye had never faced such stakes, such pressure, when he took the field with 12:44 left in Baltimore. Not even the 11-point deficit, the Pats’ largest of the season, felt familiar. (MSN.com)

Zac Gallen: A Frontline Starter Hidden in Plain Sight

For the past several years, Zac Gallen has been a model of pitching efficiency — a right-hander who wins not with overpowering fastballs but with clean shapes, elite pitch consistency, and one of the better north-south separation profiles among frontline starters. His 2025 season, however, was uneven. And yet, the underlying identity never changed. (Just Baseball)

Caleb Wilson accomplished something that only one other UNC freshman - Phil Ford - has done

Chansky’s Notebook: Performative

East Carolina, literally and figuratively, is not in the Tar Heels’ league. The Pirates walked the plank of UNC's most performative victory that gave the joyful crowd a prelude to Christmas with the 99-51 win. The only shortfall was not scoring 100 points that comes with Bojangles biscuits. That, and the Crumbl Cookies promotion, kept the fans extra engaged. (Chapelboro.com)

Lucas: Merry

Thank you, Santa. The big man delivered exactly what UNC Basketball needed on Monday. It was more than just a shellacking of East Carolina. It was something very difficult to find in sports — a night when everything went right and everyone went home happy.
