Spurs and other things I am looking forward to in 2026

When the replay of Victor Wembanyama hyper-extending his knee against the Knicks on New Year’s Eve was shown, I felt like the loneliest member of the “Victor will stay healthy like Kareem did” fan club.  The highlight of the evening was when Victor came back out of the locker room to cheer on his teammates […]

Manchester City Held, 0-0 vs. Sunderland: Reaction & Media

A bad start to the new year or a valuable away point gained. The match did not have any real urgency and the club relied on a stellar Donnarumma performance to keep the draw. Haaland and company did create and did have a goal called off, but the end signaled a scoreless affair. A point […]

Season That Was: Jeff Hoffman

The Jays signed Jeff Hoffman to a three-year, $33 million contract, before the 2025 season, after deciding not to sign Jordan Romano. Romano ended up with the Phillies, Hoffman’s former team, and had 8 saves and an 8.23 ERA in 49 games. It turned out the Jays were right not to sign him. Hoffman had […]

Islanders Get Big Injury Update on Bo Horvat

The New York Islanders ' leading scorer is out once again. After spending 15 days out of the lineup in December, Bo Horvat returned for the last four games, but was injured again last night.

WJC 2026 Quarterfinals PRIMER: When it Counts

Welcome back! The World Juniors this year was, in a lot of ways, kind of like the NHL season so far; we know exactly one team is good. The rest? Shown flashes but ultimately extremely flawed. Which has made naturally, for an extremely fun tournament. Very few games have felt noncompetitive and that’s only because […]

In The Lab: Astros Bullpen BPO

Obviously, things have changed considerably in the last 24 hours. The signing of Tatsuya Imai changes the pitching landscape considerably.

There’s a rare mix of emotion and ambition as Roma travel to Gewiss Stadium this weekend to face Atalanta. Although the Bergamo side have long been a thorn in Roma’s side, the Giallorossi’s hiring of their most legendary manager means that this match gains even more importance than the typical top-four implications. After all, Gian […]

How CJ Anthony went from Big 12 walk-on to MAAC star

When CJ Anthony walked into the media room for his first postgame press conference as a member of the Iona Gaels, he knew what he was walking into. Anthony scored a game-high 24 points with five assists in Iona’s season-opening win over Hofstra back on Nov. 7, 2025, far outpacing anybody’s expectations from outside the […]

Oilers Thoughts: Roslovic’s return to the wing, Hyman’s Team Canada snub, Hutson & Howard’s recall, Ingram bounce-back, and more

Just like that, the holidays are behind us. The Edmonton Oilers ended 2025 with a loss, but they kick off 2026 sitting pretty atop the Pacific Division. With the calendar flipped following what was hopefully a fun and safe New Year’s Eve for everyone, it’s time for another edition of Oilers Thoughts, where we dive…

Drake Maye Could be the NFL MVP

After the 2024 draft, if you could have laid money down on which quarterback of the trio of Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels, and Drake Maye would win the NFL MVP first, you probably would have gotten some long odds on Maye.

Do One and Done Head Coaches Actually Hurt Teams?

There’s a perception around the league and in the media that firing a head coach after just one season is an inherent negative for the franchise. It’s perceived as creating instability and scaring away quality candidates from jobs. I want to take a look at how true that has been since the turn of the […]
