Cincinnati Bengals (3-6) The Bengals are returning from their bye week on the heels of back-to-back catastrophic losses, in which they scored 80 combined points but blew two late leads. Cincinnati’s defensive woes have been the team’s downfall for most of the season. They did receive very positive news earlier this week that star quarterback […]

When Nico Harrison was fired in early morning hours of November 11th, two questions permeated every Mavericks fan’s mind: Who will get traded, and who will be the next GM. The Mavericks officially announced that Michael Finley, and Matthew Ricciardi will serve as interim G.M.’s. But this is not a long term solution, and the […]

We all remember the last time Iowa and USC faced off, though I’m pretty sure not many of us expected that game to go the way that it did, I will admit that I didn’t. Having watched Iowa lose nearly every game they played west of God’s time, I fully expected them to do almost […]
Meet the Mets Jeff McNeil was struggling with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome late in the season and had surgery to address it after the season ended. The Mets announced that Carlos Beltrán, Bobby Valentine, and Lee Mazzilli will be inducted into the team Hall of Fame next year. Juan Soto finished third in National League MVP […]
The Yankee rotation, when fully healthy, has the potential to be on the very shortlist for the best in Major League Baseball. Gerrit Cole, Max Fried, Carlos Rodón, Clarke Schmidt, and Cam Schlittler is a very strong top five, not even mentioning that you then have Luis Gil, who was just AL Rookie of the […]
Hoo boy, awards fans, we have some catching up to do. Since our last links post, we’ve gotten the biggest award winners of the season. On Wednesday, the Cy Young Awards were announced, and Tarik Skubal won for the second year in a row in the AL, while Paul Skenes of the Pirates won for […]
Last year, the Los Angeles Rams beat Sam Darnold and Minnesota Vikings twice, and this year Darnold is playing with the Seattle Seahawks, so will Darnold be better with the Seahawks? The same? Or worse? And, is Darnold in a better system in Seattle than he was in with the Vikings? I think it’s fair […]
Those who know me well will tell you that two of my favorite things to watch and discuss are the Buffalo Bills and Ted Lasso. Sometimes I’ll throw on a favorite episode to pass the time, or to help me forget about a humiliating loss by the Bills — like last Sunday. Earlier this week […]
Coming off two straight losses, after having arguably their worst rushing performances of the season in back-to-back weeks, the Green Bay Packers need a get-right game badly. Thankfully, the football Gods have a gift for Matt LaFleur’s squad: the New York Giants, who are on pace for a historically bad run defense. How bad is […]
Hello CSR! Welcome to Brian Answers, part two of your weekly Panthers fan mailbag for everyone! As I expected, most of the questions that came in this week were heavily centered around the future of Bryce Young, and by association the future of the coaching staff. We mixed in some Christmas fun along the way […]
Looking back on Week 1 is hard — the Chicago Bears dominated a middling Minnesota Vikings team before losing late. At the time, it felt like equal parts the Bears folding to their old ways and the Vikings maintaining a winning mettle. But in retrospect, given the shape of the season, it sure feels like […]
1900 The aggressively-improving American League was rejected as an equal major league by the established National League. Although there were multiple major leagues more often than not in the course of organized baseball over the latter half of the 19th Century, at this juncture the NL felt it was the sole top circuit in the […]
For as excited as we all get for the start of every college football season, it’s the tail end of the season where we often find ourselves in the middle of the loudest parts of the season. The college football playoff rankings, coach firings, National Signing Day, Awards season, Rivalry week, and so much more […]
The St. Louis Blues are not a good team this season and it is going to take quite a bit to turn things around so that the GM doesn't start to have to make significant changes. The Blues are stuck in the middle while having too many tradeable veterans in places where the youth can step in and step up to take over once they're gone. It makes sense for a retool because this isn't a team likely to rebuild at this stage. The Blues are in talks with teams, as it would be odd if GMs don't call and se...
The Detroit Lions (6-3) and Philadelphia Eagles (7-2) will square off in a Week 11 matchup between two of the best teams in the NFC. This “Sunday Night Football” battle figures to be significant for both teams and will likely have playoff implications that will linger into late January. “Philadelphia Eagles, good team. Really good […]

Five Cats finished the tilt with multiple points including Sam Reinhart, who the led the way offensively with two goals and one assist. Eetu Luostarinen scored an empty-net goal and added two assists; Anton Lundell had three helpers; Seth Jones finally found the net and had an assist; and Brad Marchand drew two assists to...

The Toronto Maple Leafs are not in a great spot behind the pack in the Eastern Conference and a lot of things just aren't quite right this season. Between injuries, the defensive system, and players needing to play better or step up, there is a lot that needs to change. The Maple Leafs are expected to be in the playoffs every season and there are a ton of eyes on them before even factoring in that it is the first season without Mitch Marner after tons of criticism. Trades have surrounded the t...
The New England Patriots won their eight straight game on Thursday night, defeating the visiting New York Jets 27-14 at Gillette Stadium.
