As we await some more signings to go down, and specifically await a couple key postings from Japan to resolve, I got to thinking about Chicago Cubs starting pitching prospect Jaxon Wiggins. If all goes well for him in the first half of 2026, there’s a very good chance he could impact the big league team in the second half, much like Cade Horton did in 2025 ( I’ll be realistic and not dream on THAT much impact, but still – doesn’t even have to be that much to be significant! ). And that’s all r...
The Jets make the aggressive swing everyone has been waiting for, jumping up to No. 1 overall in a rare intra-city, intra-stadium trade with the Giants to secure their quarterback of the future to open this NFL Mock Draft .
From there, the draft unfolds with familiar themes — quarterback desperation, wide receiver premium, and edge-rusher scarcity — but with some surprising twists. The Raiders dive back into QB roulette. The Browns pivot from their typical trench profile to a wide receive...
Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski has offered an update on future and admits he’s still not sure where he’ll play his football next season. Lewandowski is out of contract in the summer and has been tipped to move on from Barcelona. MLS clubs have been linked, so too AC Milan, and there’s also talk of interest […]
Thus ends the Detroit Lions’ 2025 campaign. The dream was dying after a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers last week, but it is officially dead following the Christmas Day loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Detroit has fallen to 8-8 on the season, an embarrassing and disappointing fall from their 15-2 season the year prior. The […]
Sunday Night Football is getting a gem this week as the 11-win Chicago Bears and the 11-win San Fransicso 49ers meet up with playoff seeding scenarios on the line. The Bears just dropped the injury report for the game, and they only list two players as out: wide receiver Rome Odunze and cornerback Nick McCloud. […]
A key piece for Will Stein’s defense will be returning for his senior year with Kentucky Football. Standout safety Ty Bryant will be staying put despite the Wildcats’ coaching change, according to Larry Vaught. Bryant, the Lexington native, was a massive piece in the Wildcats’ secondary throughout the 2025 season. He led the Wildcats in […]
The Lakers are currently on their first losing streak of the season. While it’s impressive they went over a quarter of the way through a year before having back-to-back losses, their most recent defeat against the Rockets on Christmas Day proved they have some problems that need fixing. And no one is more aware and […]
Once again, here we are. Minnesota is in a lower-tier B1G bowl game because a) they shit themselves against a pair of bad opponents in Cal and Northwestern and b) we were jumped by a team we were better than and defeated, but the B1G knew that they couldn’t count on Nebraska fans to travel […]
Hello CSR! I apologize for the delay, but happy holidays to you all! On Sunday, the Panthers face off against an NFC playoff contenders in the Seattle Seahawks, and former Panthers QB Sam Darnold who has since been on a redemption tour after they let him walk. The Panthers defense has been very good at […]
In Week 17, the Kansas City Chiefs lost 20-13 to the Denver Broncos on Christmas Day. Third-string quarterback Chris Oladokun was just one of many inexperienced players who saw an extended opportunity. Let’s look at how the Chiefs used their players in this game: Starters (offensive): WR JuJu Smith-Schuster, TE Travis Kelce, LT Esa Pole, […]
Well, after a 10-win regular season and a brutal loss in the ACC title game, the Virginia Cavaliers are set to do something the program has not done since 2019…play in a bowl game. The ’Hoos last qualified for postseason play back in 2021, but never took the field as the Fenway Bowl was cancelled […]
I recently joined “Opposition Territory” — a podcast produced by The Philadelphia Sports Table, hosted by Jeff Warren — to preview the Week 17 matchup between the Buffalo Bills and Philadelphia Eagles. With both teams entering the final stretch of the season carrying high expectations, Jeff and I dug into where each team has excelled, where they […]
There's one team in the NHL that is separating itself from the rest of the NHL, and it's obviously the Colorado Avalanche. Minnesota Wild fans are well aware of this, having gotten a taste of the buzzsaw known as the Avs in a 5-1 loss last Sunday. But Colorado's fearsome reputation has been built up...
The Portland Trail Blazers will host Kawhi Leonard and the Los Angeles Clippers tonight in the second contest of their five-game homestand. The Blazers will look to take their frustrations out on the 13th-seeded Clippers, who find themselves buried in both on-court and off-court dramatics. The Clippers Report Before the season began, optimism surrounding the […]
WELCOME BACK TO PREGAMIN’, HERE’S YOUR JAM OF THE WEEK NICE TO SEE YA, JACKSONVILLE Rock M-ixology I made a few cocktails this week, but let’s be honest, there’s only one thing I’m really drinking with real consistency this time of year: Eggnog. Apologies if you’re not a fan, but I’m crushing that nog with […]
The Miami Dolphins got a surprise boost at a position of dire need, but it may be short-lived once free agency hits this offseason.
Just when you think things can’t get worse for the Cleveland Browns in 2025, injuries continue to create concerns. Before last week’s game, OL Jack Conklin was also placed on injured reserve. Then, RB Quinshon Judkins had a season-ending injury during the Week 16 game, and the Browns Week 17 injury report has been full […]
The Las Vegas Raiders will head into the off-season with a need at pretty much every single position and there’s a situation where they could be going into the off-season with a brand new head coach for the third year in a row. The Raiders have a long uphill battle to becoming a relevant team, […]
Oilersnation is reviving the Top 100 Edmonton Oilers of All Time list, a project originally created by the late Robin Brownlee in 2015. Cam Talbot comes in at No. 58 on our updated 2025 list. He was not ranked on Brownlee’s original list. Cam Talbot was the best Edmonton Oilers goalie of the 2010s and…

On Friday, the Seattle Seahawks announced their selection of Week 17 game captains ahead of Sunday’s matchup vs. the Carolina Panthers. This week’s captains are running back Kenneth Walker III, nose tackle Jarran Reed, and linebacker Drake Thomas. Thomas will be making his third appearance as a game captain this season, having last played with […]
After a less-than-fruitful showing in non-conference play, each of the 12 Mountain West men’s basketball programs opened up conference play each of the last two weeks. Like any year, this conference has been fairly unpredictable on a game-by-game basis. That was the case in Utah State’s blowout win against Colorado State to begin MW action. […]
The 14-15 Chicago Bulls’ 2025-26 season has been full of peaks and valleys already, and it’s still just December! They kicked off the year with a five-game win streak, but a seven-game losing streak brought rabid fans back down to earth earlier this month.
Lately, though, the Bulls have been trending up again. The team claimed its fourth straight victory, a 126-123 road defeat of the Atlanta Hawks, on Tuesday. $100 million man Josh Giddey notched a 19-point, 15-assist, 11-rebound triple-d...
Welcome to the 80th edition of the rest or rust debate, a sports radio staple. Despite all the discourse, I don’t think we’ve figured out whether or not it’s better to rest starters, if you have nothing substantial to gain in the final week of the season, or if you should just be playing them […]
The final Chicago Bears injury report ahead of the team’s Week 17 Sunday Night Football game against the San Francisco 49ers is out.
Unfortunately, so is Rome Odunze.
The second-year wide receiver has been ruled out of Sunday’s game. Odunze hasn’t played since the team’s Black Friday win against the Philadelphia Eagles. The University of Washington product has been quarterback Caleb Williams’ top target for most of the season, but a foot injury kept kept him out of both games against...
