In Today’s Links: Seattle Seahawks have a habit of adding former Top 10 picks to the roster, how and where Sam Darnold can improve this upcoming season, replacing (parts of) the D-line, draft room secrets from the ‘Hawks and John Boyle, takeaways from our favorite voices, and more. Happy Thursday. Go, ‘Hawks! #np Volto di […]
Not long ago, Hamza Abdelkarim’s transfer was being treated as a done deal around Barcelona. Reports out of Egypt pointed to documents being exchanged, travel plans discussed, and a January arrival that felt like a formality. That momentum has faded quickly. Instead of getting his bags ready to travel to Catalonia, the 18-year-old forward was […]
It was delayed by a week, but the Panthers are officially on to the offseason after being eliminated by the Rams in the Wild Card Round of the 2026 playoffs. Carolina’s draft position is now locked into place at No. 19. The rest of the teams that lose this weekend will fill in slots 20-24. […]
The Chicago Bears. The Green Bay Packers. Wildcard Saturday Night. This will be your open thread to talk about the game, and keep in mind that all our open threads are rated WCG-MA. Since this is a division game, there may be some jackasses in our comments section, so don’t feed the trolls! Once the […]
The Chicago Bears host the Green Bay Packers in the second of two Wild Card playoff games today. These two NFC North arch-rivals have the longest-standing rivalry in the NFL and the next chapter continues here. These teams split the season series, including a Game of the Year contender in Week 16, but this rubber […]
First quarter recap: The Panthers got the ball first in front of a rocking Bank of America stadium. They started the game with an ineffective run up the middle. They were quickly faced with a 4th and 1. They tried to get Bryce Young in space on a rollout, but the Rams covered everything up […]
The College Football Playoffs are nearly over for the 2025 season, even as they are over for the Oregon Ducks. We went through this exercise last season, because even though last season’s playoffs were an improvement over the BCS, they needed some tweaking, right? This season felt like a step in the right direction, but […]
The Seattle Seahawks could know their Divisional Round opponent solely from this game. If the Green Bay Packers defeat the Chicago Bears on a snowy night in the Windy City, then they’ll be heading to Lumen Field next week. A Bears win would mean we’d need to wait on the Philadelphia Eagles vs. San Francisco […]
The fun, surprising ride of the 2026 season is over for the Panthers. Carolina was eliminated in stunning fashion 34-31 to the Rams in the Wild Card Round. This one is going to sting. The Rams were heavily favored by 10.5 points, but the Panthers showed the fight they’ve shown all year. They fought back […]
The Los Angeles Rams beat the Carolina Panthers on Wild Card Weekend by a score of 34-31. This was a tight contest as both teams had moments of great play, and stretches of mistakes. Neither team was exactly able to put the other away, but it was the Rams who found a way in this […]

Unfortunately, they ultimately couldn’t keep […]

The Spanish Super Cup, in its current form, dates back to 1982; however, the concept predates it by several decades. Spanish football experimented with similar competitions in the 1940s and early 1950s, most notably through the Copa de los Campeones de España and later the Copa Eva Duarte. Both followed the same basic idea of […]
The Virginia Tech fans had fans on the edge of their seats again on Saturday evening at Cassell Coliseum. Just three days after shockingly blowing a late double-digit lead against Stanford, the Hokies were in the same position again, but the result was much different this time, as they held on for a 78-75 win […]
HSS Training Center is locked up tighter than a drum. Not the practice courts. They ring with the sound of squeaking sneakers and encouraging applause from coaches. Reporters can get limited access to the courts on practice days, but in the corner offices and conference room, there’s no access. That’s the way Sean Marks likes […]
EPISODE CXIII: CHICAGO BEARS VS. GREEN BAY PACKERS (PLAYOFF EDITION) — For as much as we discuss “big games” throughout a 17-game schedule, they don’t get much bigger than what we are about to witness between Chicago and Green Bay. The 213th installment of the NFL’s longest active rivalry is the third game between the bitter adversaries since the start of December. Plus, it is also the third playoff game between the teams. For all intents and purposes, this is the ultimate rubber match. C...
Let’s get it out of the way off the top: I think getting the ball to Chase Ross while he was 3-for-11 on the day and 2-for-6 from behind the arc against Villanova here in order to hit a three-pointer and tie the game and force overtime was a bad idea. I think going to […]

A drubbing of the Ottawa Senators kicked off this seven-game home stand and the Colorado Avalanche hoped to keep the train rolling against another eastern conference foe in the Columbus Blue Jackets. As expected the Avalanche took care of business in a routine 4-0 shutout victory. Multiple Avalanche got on the score sheet including goals […]
