NBC announced on Thursday that they’ve tapped Maria Taylor to replace Mike Tirico as host of “Football Night in America,” the pre-show that airs before “Sunday Night Football.” “Maria is the perfect choice to carry the legacy forward of anchoring the most-watched studio show in sports,” NBC Sports Executive Producer Sam Flood said in a statement. “Football Night in America” needed a new lead after Mike Tirico, NBC’s ubiquitous sports host, was moved over to SNF play-by-play. He’s taking… Source link

Josh Naylor was stoked. And rightfully so. The Guardians first baseman had a massive night on Monday against the Chicago White Sox as Cleveland rallied from an 8-2 eighth-inning deficit for a 12-9 win in extra innings. Naylor finished the night 3 of 5 at the plate with eight RBI, including a grand slam in the ninth inning that tied the game at 8-8. Naylor calmly ran the bases after his blast over the right centerfield wall. But once he touched the plate, it was on. Naylor shushed the White Sox… Source link

The NFL draft went to Las Vegas and quickly got drunk. In the shadow of Caesars Palace, commissioner Roger Goodell morphed into part carnival barker, part pit boss, announcing 32 picks and a record nine first-round trades in a wild night befitting a wild offseason. (Remember when Tom Brady retired? Me neither.) There were just three trades in last year’s first round. Teams moved up. Teams moved down. They traded picks and players. They dished veterans on the side. And, yes, they made some… Source link

Mike Tirico, NBC’s longtime sports broadcaster, will now be joining Cris Collinsworth in the booth for play-by-play, and Melissa Stark will be doing the sideline reporting. “’Sunday Night Football’ is destination viewing and we are thrilled to have Mike, Cris and Melissa call the action and tell the stories that… Source link

Wednesday is the NHL’s last day of action before the All-Star break. There are five games on the slate. Here are some players to target, and to avoid, for your DFS lineups… GOALIE Cam Talbot, MIN at CHI ($23): I’m not sure if the Wild will go with Talbot or with Kaapo Kahkonen, as Kahkonen has had the better season with a 2.53 GAA and .922 save percentage. That being said, Talbot has only made two starts since suffering a lower-body injury, so I can imagine Dean Evanson wanting to give… Source link

Who didn’t play in Week 16 was more important than the players on the field. COVID ravaged rosters around the league while bettors reacted by targeting totals in several games. The roster challenges combined with the NFL coming off its lowest-scoring week of the year had bettors driving totals down in a big way. The average closing total this past weekend hit a season-low 43.1 points. Bettors’ expectation of another low-scoring week never came to fruition. Overs went 10-5 and those who bet… Source link

5 Things I care about Cowboys prove they’re as dangerous as anyone The Cowboys came into Week 16 with a defense that ranked No. 1 in EPA per play allowed and an offense that kept having the word “slump” attached to it. They’ll leave Week 16 with only one of those. If you told an uninformed viewer that one of the quarterbacks playing tonight had a 5:5 touchdown-to-interception ratio over the last month, they’d have never guessed it was Dak Prescott. From the opening whistle to the… Source link

While the circumstances that got us to this point aren’t ideal, it’s surely exciting that we have two more NFL games on Tuesday night. We’ve got two big divisional games on the schedule that can impact the playoff race and seeding in the NFC. The betting market for these two games have been all over the place all week as news of positive tests and postponements came out. Who is the public siding with heading into kickoff? Bettors like the Eagles The Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Football… Source link
