Way-too-early predictions for the Flyers’ 2026-27 lineup

The Philadelphia Flyers season has come and gone. It was a memorable one — full of hills and valleys, upsets and major wins, and just a whole lot of finding out what this team can do under pressure.

The body of this team is still warm, but let’s just kick it to the curb and dream up what we might just see on the ice in orange and black when the puck drops for the 2026-27 ca...

Friday Quickie : Before you get ahead of yourself

The Nats have been mediocre or worse since COVID (unrelated... OR IS IT) and this year feels different. The young bats are improving to the point you think the line-up can keep the Nats competitive for the season and with some pitching luck... Look we're not talking playoffs here but .500? Or at least best record since 2019?  But before you take a close to .500 record as a sign of things being different let's remember 2025 :  June 6th the Nats were 30-33. 2024 : June 23rd the Nats we...

2026 Cubs Heroes and Goats: Game 44

The Cubs might have looked worse in this series than they have in any series since the one at Cleveland in early April. There were series losses to the Pirates (cumulative score 12-10 Pirates advantage), the Dodgers (22-10) and Rangers (10-7) in the interim. So maybe that Dodgers one was worse than the Cleveland series […]

Falcons schedule: Predicting Atlanta’s 2026 results

Look, we all agree that it’s absurdly early to try to predict whether the Falcons will win every game on their 2026 schedule, but that’s never stopped us before.
