That’s What Friends Are For: Blackhawks vs. Jets Preview

The Blackhawks close out their four-game homestand on Monrday against the Winnipeg Jets, hoping to snap a recent skid and return to the win column.

40 in 40: The mystery of Logan Gilbert’s disappearing efficiency

This story has been corrected in reaction to a mathematical error caught by user Tim B. In 2024, Logan Gilbert became one of MLB’s apex predators.

Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet out for season with ‘significant knee injury’

Unfortunately, Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald’s initial optimism that running back Zach Charbonnet’s injury was not serious was merely optimism. The reality is that Charbonnet, who led all Seahawks players with 12 touchdowns scored, will not play again this season. Coach Macdonald confirmed on his weekly Seattle Sports 710 radio appearance that Charbonnet’s knee […]

Flyers’ 3 Stars of the Week: A first for Michkov while team struggles

What a week, huh? The Philadelphia Flyers played four games and lost all of them in regulation, extending the losing streak to six games. Now they’re headed on a road trip against some of the toughest teams in the Western Conference, and it’s easy to envision the losing streak hitting nine by week’s end. If we could award stars to you, dear reader, we would, because that was a miserable week of hockey to witness. But! Before we get to all that, we have to reflect on last week’s games and ...

Flyers’ thin center depth forces Rick Tocchet to rethink Sean Couturier’s workload

The Philadelphia Flyers are by far not the strongest team at the center position, but they are trying to work with what they got. Part of that is, according to head coach Rick Tocchet, managing captain Sean Couturier’s workload so that he can be as effective as possible. Heading into this season, the Flyers added Christian Dvorak to their center depth, but they still are sorely lacking quality high-end players down the middle. Noah Cates has done an admirable job trying to resolve the iss...

Bears 24-Hour Rule: Self-Inflicted Wounds, Unforced Errors Ultimately Doomed the Bears

A lot of the time, 24 hours after a loss, I begin to feel better. I’ll get more optimistic, diagnose how it wasn’t as bad as it looked, and start to get optimistic about the future. This is not one of those times. Part of the reason why is obvious. The Bears’ outstanding season, one that defied all of our expectations, has come to a close. And, while not many of us believed they could get this far when the season kicked off in September, now it feels like it came to an end too soon. The R...
