St. Louis Battlehawks will make playoffs in these three scenarios

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 17:03:39 GMT

ST. LOUIS - We've made it to the final weekend of the regular season for the XFL. The St. Louis Battlehawks likely won't know their fate for playoffs until Sunday, but they can improve their odds with a Saturday matinee to end the regular season. The Battlehawks are fighting for the second and final playoff spot in the XFL North Division with the Seattle Sea Dragons. Both carry a 6-3 record and Seattle has a stronger chance to determine their own destiny after a head-to-head win last weekend. RELATED - Albert Pujols confident that 2023 Cardinals will overcome slow start The Sea Dragons won't play their regular season finale until late Sunday evening, leading to a bit of a waiting period for the Battlehawks and perhaps some scoreboard watching after their tilt Saturday.

Saunders: Kris Bryant says he can be the quiet leader Rockies need right now

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 17:03:39 GMT

The Rockies paid Kris Bryant a lot of money to speak softly and swing a big stick.They did not give him a seven-year, $182 million contract last March to be a cheerleader or a rah-rah guy. Good thing, because that’s not in Bryant’s nature. It never pays to have a player try to be something he’s not.Owner Dick Monfort is paying Bryant, 31, to be the best hitter on the team, drive in runs and mash 30 or more home runs a season. Injuries limited him to just 42 games last season, so 2023 is a do-over. The early returns are decidedly mixed: .293 average, three homers, four doubles, six RBIs, and a 114 OPS+ entering the weekend. With runners in scoring position, he was hitting .188 with five strikeouts in 16 at-bats.Given Bryant’s talent and track record, and adding in the Coors Field factor, I can see Bryant hitting .300 and launching 30 homers by the end of 2023. Last month, I predicted he would be the team MVP.But the question I’ve struggled with is whethe...

Who else? Who else besides me deserves this?’ None of us do,” Doherty told “Good Morning America.”The actor first revealed she had breast cancer in 2015 and has charted her battle with the disease on social media. Doherty did not refer to the divorce development on Instagram, but in a post Friday wrote: “The only people who deserve to be in your life are the ones who...
