Bears rookie WR Zavion Thomas exited Sunday’s practice early after a 7-on-7 collision and appeared to grab his knee, raising early special teams concerns. The post Bears WR Zavion Thomas Exits Practice Early After 7-on-7 Collision appeared first on On Tap Sports Net .
A key reason why the 49ers were willing to commit to Brock Purdy as their long-term answer at the quarterback position was the transformative impact his playing style has had on their offense. Purdy’s willingness to be aggressive and attack downfield is atypical for 49ers quarterbacks under Kyle Shanahan. He found great success in going […]
If you have concerns about new San Diego Padres manager Craig Stammen’s lack of experience at the position, your fears may be tempered a bit with the recent hires to the coaching staff. The Padres named Steven Souza Jr. as the hitting coach and Randy Knorr as the bench coach for the 2026 season. Both […]
Offense The Ravens’ offensive struggles hit a new low in Week 13 as they scored just 14 points and turned the ball over five times with four lost fumbles. The biggest notable development was the long-awaited debut of rookie offensive lineman Emery Jones Jr., who played 16 snaps and rotated some series with Andrew Vorhees […]
Here is a more recent Cubs photo, sent to me by BCB reader Clark Addison. What do we know about this photo? It’s 2015, because the “14” patch honoring Ernie Banks was worn only in that season. You’ll recognize, of course, Joe Maddon, Javier Báez and Anthony Rizzo. But who are the catcher and the […]
After the disappointing 2025 campaign, which saw the Mets go from one of the best records in baseball to missing the playoffs on a final day of the season loss to the Marlins (stop me if you heard that one before), President of Baseball Operations David Stearns promised change, in no uncertain terms. One of […]
Man, why do injuries have to happen? It’s hard to say whether or not Wheeler’s injury and whether or not it would have happened would have affected the series against the Dodgers, but boy. It really did not help them. 2025 stats 24 G (24 GS), 149 1/3 IP, 2.71 ERA (3.00 FIP), 1.14 HR/9, […]
The Jets recently acquired wide receiver John Metchie III via trade and he has already played in three games for the team. Today we break Metchie down in detail. The 25-year old Metchie is listed at 5’11” and 187 pounds and was a second round pick out of Alabama in 2022. After missing the entire […]
When I think about the Cubs’ offseason starting pitching targets, my brain first goes to the free agents. Dylan Cease , Shane Bieber , and Jack Flaherty may be off the board, but Framber Valdez, Ranger Suarez, Tatsuya Imai, and Michael King (among others) are still out there and remain attractive fits for the 2026 Cubs rotation. Beyond them, we often discuss the trade candidates. Tarik Skubal (too costly to acquire) and Freddy Peralta (won’t be traded to the Cubs) are probably not on...
The Philadelphia Eagles are now 8-3 heading into their Week 13 matchup against the Chicago Bears (8-3) on Black Friday — an NFC matchup available to stream by an international audience via Prime Video. The Eagles will wear their all black uniforms for the first, and only, time this season, and will host the Bears […]

Arizona women’s basketball has confirmed that forward Freddie Wallace is no longer with the program, stating that the Wildcats wished her well. Wallace came to Arizona as part of Becky Burke’s first transfer class. She spent two years in a Kansas junior college, then redshirted last year at the University of Kansas. Wallace had not […]

Alrighty folks, we’ve finally made it to the regular season finale of the college football season for our Notre Dame Fighting Irish. With a 9-2 record, a #9 ranking in the College Football Playoff rankings, and plenty of fun discussions happening on who deserves the at-large spots this year, it’s imperative that Marcus Freeman and […]
Earlier this week, the Detroit Lions waived veteran running back Craig Reynolds in order to make room for a series of roster moves—including the return of Marcus Davenport and Miles Frazier from injury lists. Reynolds cleared waivers on Thursday, but it appears he is heading to a new team’s practice squad. According to NFL insider […]
Good morning, LSB. Not much out there on this, the day after Thanksgiving. The Athletic offers up one Black Friday free agent deal for every time. Fangraphs has a lovely piece up entitled “Stick Wyatt Langford in Center, You Cowards.” And in case you missed it read this profile on Jared Sandler and his wife […]
So here’s the deal. We are on the outside looking in, but we are looking in through a wide open window. I am going to walk us through the playoff picture, team-by-team, scenario-by-scenario, to see what Vanderbilt’s real chances at making it in are, and where would land in the postseason landscape, whether we make […]
It’s Victory Friday (yes, that’s a thing!) which means it’s time to take another leisurely stroll through the comments of football fans across the SB Nation network as they watched the Cowboys outlast the Chiefs. All the quotes below are taken directly from the open game threads from the SB Nation team sites as indicated […]
When you start analyzing the Pittsburgh Penguins’ surprisingly strong start to the 2025-26 season, the team’s defense or defensive play is probably not high on the list of reasons for their early success. On paper, it looks like the weak link of the roster, especially when you look at the list of names on the […]
There may have been a little glimmer of hope that at least one injured defenseman (most likely Max Crozier) was feeling a little better as the Tampa Bay Lightning re-assigned Max Groshev to Syracuse on Thursday. However, it seems that is not the case as the team announced that, while Groshev was heading north, Simon Lundmark was heading west. The 25-year-old joined the organization as a free agent this summer on a two-year, two-way contract after spending time with the Winnipeg Jets. He’s...
The Chargers are back from their much-needed bye week and a matchup with the hapless Raiders is just what the team needs. This SHOULD be a win, but you just never know when the Bolts are coming off a game where they looked no better than Las Vegas in a lopsided loss to the Jaguars […]
It’s nearly here. Just about 24 hours until The Game, Ohio State is poised and ready for the fight, but until then there’s still some recruiting efforts worth mentioning. Some positive vibes continuing on Thursday, the Buckeyes are still seeing their name in the running for top players. Here’s some of the latest on where […]
The Montreal Canadiens have made their call on Mike Matheson’s future.

Hearing the #GoHabsGo and Mike Matheson have a 5-year contract extension in place. An announcement is expected as early as today. — David Pagnotta (@TheFourthPeriod) November 28, 2025 Why the Canadiens are committing to a Mike Matheson extension This sort of ...

Happy Game Day! Before we dive into BN Bears Bullets, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to those who read BN, listen and/or watch the podcast, interact with us on social media, and support us in all sorts of other ways. I have much to be thankful for these days. Among those things I’m thankful for is your support. Thanks for being here. It hasn’t always been sunshine and rainbows when it comes to this team. So I hope that sticking around for the tough times is making this 8-3 s...
