The NFL will release the 2026 regular season schedule at some point in May, and the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks will be the curtain raiser on September 9. As for the opponent? We may have our answer. ESPN’s Michael Wilbon, lifelong Chicago Bears fan and one half of Pardon the Interruption, was on a […]
The Islanders are in a Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday pattern over the next couple of weeks as they finish their brief homestand with the Devils on Tuesday before a seven-game western road trip. That one starts with Nashville and Minnesota before crossing the border for Winnipeg and a full northwestern four-pack. But first, one more at home with […]
The Habs went 2-1-0 during the first week of January and sit second in the Atlantic Division with a record of 23-13-6. The week started out with another chaotic comeback, this time against the Carolina Hurricanes, in which Juraj Slafkovský dominated the third period in a 7-5 Habs win. The Canadiens were then shut out by the St. Louis Blues in a Saturday matinée in a Jordan Binnington masterclass that ended two-zip. Montreal finished the week on a high note, taking down Dallas in overtime,...
We know. The Buffalo Bills are going to pick 32nd after winning the Super Bowl. BUT. This is the current NFL draft order. We will keep updating this information each week. As a reminder, the order for playoff teams is determined by when they were eliminated and THEN the team record. So the teams that […]
The Steelers closed out the regular season in nail-biting fashion with a two-point victory over their division rival Ravens on Sunday night. As always, there are plenty of takeaways to be had. 1. When it mattered the most, Aaron Rodgers delivered It wasn’t a perfect game by any means from the Steelers, or even Aaron […]
Heading into Saturday night, the Clippers and Celtics were 29th and 30th in pace at nearly 96 possessions per game. For LA, fewer possessions make sense for their older roster. With 36-year-old James Harden and 34-year-old Kawhi Leonard, all attempts to limit their wear-and-tear are surely welcome. Paradoxically for the Celtics, the slower “pace” is […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about transfers. Because when aren’t we talking about transfers. Starting today, we’re going to see a slew of transfers start to file through Columbia, Mo. And it wouldn’t be surprising if we see commitments follow soon after. After the portal kicked open on Friday, it only took […]
The Wisconsin Badgers got their QB1 for 2026, landing Old Dominion transfer Colton Joseph after hosting him on a visit this weekend. Joseph announced his pledge on Saturday, adding to what has been a huge weekend of commitments for the program. With QB1 in the fold, let’s take a quick dive into who Joseph is […]
The Knicks and the Pistons are clashing tonight for the first time this season in a No. 1 vs. No. 2 showdown. Too bad the game is at Pizza Palace and not MSG. Here’s some of what’s been said in the last few hours. Mike Brown On the Knicks’ offensive identity breaking down: “It’s been […]
Are we about to see a key domino drop in the Yankees’ offseason? Brian Cashman has stated publicly that he wants to add a starter, and though they’ve been quiet on that front in the free agent market, it sounds like they could be making progress on the trade market. Yesterday’s reporting had the Yankees […]
Here are your Pens Points for this Monday morning… Sidney Crosby wasn’t about to let the Pittsburgh Penguins falter after he and his team clawed their way back from a 4-1 deficit on Sunday against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The captain assisted on Ricard Rakell’s tying goal with 13.7 seconds left in regulation before he […]
*The Flyers played their first game of 2026 over the weekend, and they came up with a big win over the Oilers to rebound from a tough showing last time out against the Flames. [ BSH ] *When you finish going through our takeaways over here, you can check out Charlie’s over at PHLY. Because you simply can never have too many takeaways, right? [ PHLY ] *Particularly from a game like that, when there really was so much to like from the Flyers. Towards the top of the list is the fact that...
The Panthers aren’t ready to turn their focus toward next season yet, but we do now know which teams Carolina will face in 2026, plus which matchups will be at home and on the road. Carolina finished the 2026 season with an 8-9 record and won the NFC South, which lands them a tougher schedule […]
Greetings, internet users. Welcome to The Scratching Post and the new year. Feel free to use this thread to chat about (almost) anything you want: video games, food, movies, non-football sports, you name it. As long as it’s allowed by the site’s ToS, it’s fair game here. You know the drill. This is now an […]
THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS Bears lose to Lions, finish regular season 11-6 Of course, it had to end this way. In a season full of last-second finishes, the Bears logged one more Sunday at Soldier Field. Chicago Bears’ 2026 opponents are set. Here’s who they will play With the NFL regular season wrapping up Sunday, the […]
Beckett Harrison recently proclaimed that Audi Crooks is championship-ready. Baylor head coach Nicki Collen agreed, and because of that understanding, her No. 22-ranked Bears took down Crooks’ No. 10-ranked Cyclones, 72—70, sending Iowa State to their first lost of the season. After Crooks was cooking in her customary fashion in the first half, racking up […]
One fun wrinkle in this lost season for the Atlanta Falcons is that these late-season wins technically didn’t hurt their first-round draft position. That’s because Atlanta has no first-round pick in 2026. Atlanta drafted Georgia EDGE Jalon Walker with the 15th overall pick, then swapped with the Rams to move back up into the first […]
Chelsea interim head coach Calum McFarlane was taking his first ever game in senior professional football last night at the Etihad. Opposite him, Pep Guardiola, arguably the greatest working manager, was taking his 1011th. But by the end of the night, they were shaking hands as equals, with Chelsea taking a rather unlikely point back […]
The New England Patriots have their sights on their upcoming return to the NFL playoffs. However, the final week of the 2025 regular season did more than just set up their wild card matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers: it also finalized their opponents for the 2026 regular season. The Patriots will be playing eight […]

Welcome to the offseason, friends. The college football season continues on this week without the involvement of your Georgia Bulldogs. But that doesn’t mean that there isn’t a ton of Bulldog-centric news out there. Let’s get you caught up on what’s happening. First, if you’ve been absorbed in college football to the exclusion of other […]
When expectations meet reality, they can make for strange bedfellows. As a child, you expect to be the president, or an astronaut, or, in the case of my late uncle, a donkey (true story). As an adult, you become a policy analyst who reports to the man who reports to the woman who reports to […]
In its quest to repeat as national champions, Ohio State added 11 players via the transfer portal prior to the 2025 season. Of that group, only three made any sort of impact on the field for the Buckeyes, and two (so far) are now back in the transfer portal again. Really only two of last […]
Arizona’s 2025 season exceeded expectations by leaps and bounds. Finishing out at 9-4, it was just the eighth team in program history to get to nine wins. Brent Brennan completely turned his team around after going 4-8 in his first season. While it may have not ended on a high note, getting to a bowl […]
