Victor Wembanyama named All-Star starter

The San Antonio Spurs have their first All-Star starter in nearly a decade. On Monday, Victor Wembanyama was named a 2026 Western Conference All-Star starter. It’s the big man’s second All-Star appearance, and his first time being named a starter. He joins Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Stephen Curry, Luka Doncic, and Nikola Jokic as the West’s starters. […]

What the Heck Happened On That Last Caleb Williams Interception?

In the heat of the moment, I called Caleb Williams’ overtime interception inexplicable. Given time, hindsight, additional footage, breakdowns from NFL analysts and insiders, and commentary from Williams and Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson, I wish I would have used some softer language. Before we do some deeper diving into the INT, let’s hear from the most important parties. MORE BEARS COVERAGE:  Recap and Highlights  |  Player Grades  |  The Nightcap BEARS ...

Detroit Lions to hire Drew Petzing as new offensive coordinator

According to several reports, the Detroit Lions are finalizing a deal to hire Drew Petzing as their new offensive coordinator. For the past three seasons, Petzing has served as the Arizona Cardinals’ offensive coordinator. During that time, the Cardinals ranked 24th (2023), 12th (2024), and 23rd (2025) in points scored. But he did manage to […]

In the midst of the Bucks’ tilt against the Atlanta Hawks, Shams Charania of ESPN reported the full Eastern Conference starting five for the NBA All-Star Game next month in Los Angeles. Giannis was named a starter along with the Knicks’ Jalen Brunson, the Pistons’ Cade Cunningham, the 76ers’ Tyrese Maxey, and the Celtics’ Jaylen […]

Fantasy Champions League Matchday 7: Top Picks in a 4-3-3 Formation

Matchday 7 presents a new set of challenges for Fantasy managers, with defensive reliability harder to come by in certain fixtures and attacking returns playing a bigger role in squad selection. As form begins to stabilize across teams, this round offers an opportunity to lean into players who have already delivered consistent Fantasy returns. We […]

Detroit Lions close to hiring former Arizona Cardinals offensive coordinator Drew Petzing

Well, that is something. The Arizona Cardinals offense in 2024 with a healthy Kyler Murray, a decent and healthy offensive line and Drew Petzing calling plays were nearly a top 12 offense in all statistical and/or efficiency measures. That lead to a lot of excitement for 2025. Obviously injuries and ineffectiveness hurt things, but the […]

Non-Lakers Discussion Thread: Week of Jan. 19-25

It is Week 14 of NBA play. Also, this week is Amazon Rival Week, so expect actual rivalries wtih some very recent and some based on locations with hardly any history. I will add an AWS next to the games if you are interested. The Lakers’ record is 25-16, and they are the No. 6 […]

Jalen Brunson named All-Star starter

While the Knicks are currently dealing with some injuries and recent struggles, their captain added another personal accolade to his mantle on Monday before the MLK Day clash with the Mavericks. Jalen Brunson was named to his third all-star team and was named a starter for the second consecutive season. Unlike last season, where Brunson […]

Flyers missed big opportunity to test Trevor Zegras at center

The Philadelphia Flyers really could have cooked something up that so many fans have been begging to see all season long but instead kept more of the status quo as they are spiraling down the standings with loss after loss. It is extremely unfortunate that center Rodrigo Abols suffered a devastating injury on Saturday that has killed his chances to represent Latvia at the Olympics next month. It is something you just never want to see and a story you never want to hear about — a player’s ...

Detroit Lions staffer to coach Senior Bowl quarterbacks

On Monday, the 2026 Senior Bowl announced the coaching staffs for the two all-star college teams, and an interesting Detroit Lions name is on the roster. Lions offensive assistant Marques Tuiasosopo will coach the American team’s quarterbacks during the week of practices and the game. Tuiasosopo joined the Lions’ staff just this past year, but […]

Blackhawks vs Jets — Toews’ Return, Lineups, Broadcast Info, Game Thread

I’ve used the same image of a Blackhawks’ jersey for every other pregame post this season (with the exceptions for the jerseys in which they wear black). Tonight’s different because… it’s different. The Captain returns. It’s going to be a special night at the United Center, with a hockey game taking place as well. Jonathan Toews speaks with a collection of media he hasn’t had to deal with in a few years about facing the #Blackhawks tonight pic.twitter.com/yZXr5LOQRC — Tab Bamford ...

Alongside Brown, Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, New York […]

The starters for the 2026 NBA All Star Game have been named. Lineups were voted on by fans and media members over the last few months. Only starters—or presumed starters—are so selected.

Blazers Move Up in NBA Power Rankings

The Portland Trail Blazers and the No. 20 spot in NBA.com’s weekly power rankings has been one of the greatest love stories of our time this season. As Dave Deckard pointed out last Tuesday, it seems almost every week this season, the Blazers have found themselves in that familiar place in the countdown. However, after […]

Rams 2026 draft: Looking for “big” help at cornerback

One of main negatives constantly tossed about is the Rams defensive pass coverage. In reality, the 2025 secondary has statistically improved over each of the last two seasons. Even so, it’s still a middle of the NFL pack unit and may need a total rebuild for 2026. The Rams have two corners currently under contract […]

Forgotten Names Who have Played for Both Real Madrid and Monaco

When the joint history of Real Madrid and their next opponent in the UEFA Champions League, AS Monaco, is discussed, the big names like Kylian Mbappé, Fernando Morientes, James Rodriguez, and Aurelien Tchouameni come to mind. The two clubs have shared 12 players over the years. Some of those names may not appear in memory […]

To keep the window open, the Phillies need help from the farm

There were a number of lessons to take away from the Phillies’ failure to haul in Bo Bichette to a seven-year, $200 million contract last week. Like with most teams, the luxury tax remains a self-imposed impediment to the Phils’ willingness to spend. The Dodgers and Mets are the two teams who will hold their […]

Sean McDermott fired: Buffalo Bills players react

Buffalo Bills players have taken to social media and contacting their media member of choice to share their thoughts on the unexpected firing of head coach Sean McDermott. We likely won’t see anyone calling out the organization explicitly, but McDermott seemed to be well-liked by his players, so there will some pushback at least in […]
