With the 2026 NFL Draft winding down, teams began turning their attention to rookie free agency.

[…]
If you’re from Central or Southern Virginia and a fan of high school football, you know the name Vic Hall well. A legendary high school quarterback at Gretna High School, Hall would go on to the University of Virginia, where he’d play cornerback and some quarterback, before going undrafted in the 2010 NFL draft. Hall […]
The New York Islanders picked up a two goal lead early, only to let it slip away from them in the second period. It’s becoming a bit of a bad habit lately that the team just stops playing with a lead, and letting teams like the Blackhawks sans Connor Bedard and Frank Nazar get back […]
The Utah Jazz have been on a bit of a tear lately, stealing a couple wins from some of the best teams in the NBA. The Detroit Pistons and San Antonio Spurs lost a couple of close games to a surprisingly upstart Utah team that refuses to tank (or at least has figured out how […]
As I watched Seton Hall blast past Marquette in the final three minutes with a 13-0 run to flip a seven point MU advantage to a six point SHU victory, I thought to myself, “oh, right, this team hasn’t gotten a chance from their terrible non-conference performance to learn how to win games when it […]

After a huge win over Boise State to start conference play 1-0, Nevada went on the road to play another opponent atop the standings in Colorado State. It would be a Quad 1 win if Nevada were able to pull one out over the Rams, and a commanding defensive performance made that happen as Nevada […]
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — With 4:58 left in the fourth quarter, Tennessee’s Joakim Dodson muffed a kickoff, and for at least a brief moment, the thought of a game-sealing recovery by Illinois swirled in all of Nissan Stadium’s minds. A thrilling victory, free of headspinning drama to secure Illinois’ second-straight bowl win. That brief illusion quickly […]
Earlier this week, Cleveland Magazine dubbed Cleveland Guardians infielder Brayan Rocchio one of their “Most Interesting People, 2026.” As the author writes, Why He’s Interesting: In each of the past two postseasons, Brayan Rocchio — normally a light-hitting middle infielder — has come on strong, with key home runs against the Tigers in last year’s Wild […]
It was one of those games for the Carolina Hurricanes as they fell behind early and ended up with a lackluster, 5-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday night in Pittsburgh. Three minutes and change into the game, Sidney Crosby scored his 21st of the season. Before the end of the first period, it […]

Game information Who: St. John’s Red Storm (8-4) vs. Georgetown […]
Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 4-0 win over the New Jersey Devils, which improved the Maple Leafs’ record to 18-15-6. On what he liked most about the win: Everybody contributing. Everybody did their job. The goaltender was really good. All around, it was pretty solid hockey by everybody. That is the one […] The post Craig Berube on a character win over New Jersey: “The one thing I take away from it — everyone was bought in” appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
New Jersey head coach Sheldon Keefe addressed the media after his team’s 4-0 loss to the Maple Leafs, the Devils’ fourth loss in a row. On the message to his players after a fourth straight loss: I didn’t talk to the team after the game. I’ll talk to them in the morning. But it is […] The post Sheldon Keefe on the Knies vs. Hischier fight: “Do I want our captain fighting when we are down in the third? Absolutely not, but do we need some guys to step up and show some balls? Yeah, we need mor...
With just a few days until the portal window opens, NC State officially has 13 players who’ve announced their intent to transfer and cast their fates to the wind and/or a Michigan directional school. There will be more, I’m sure. I mean, it’s not like everybody is just going to decide to stop tampering. What […]

It’s ridiculous that this has come down to this, but the internet battle about the demise of the Jeweled Shillelagh Rivalry between Notre Dame and USC and the fallout surrounding it all, is continuing to rage. It’s all kinds of ridiculousness right now with Lincoln Riley and USC sycophants trying to rewrite recent history. It’s […]
First period There’s a loud “Go Habs Go!” chant to begin the game, so apparently a few more Canadians travelled to Florida than have to Minnesota for the World Juniors. Samuel Montembeault makes a couple of saves early. It looks like he’s following the puck so far and making a point to watch it right into his body to control the rebound. Back to basics it seems, which is a good way to start. Zachary Bolduc goes in hard on the forecheck and draws a high-sticking call. He’s had ...

UNC improved to 13-1 this season with a 79-66 win over Florida State in Chapel Hill on Tuesday.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — It all came down to one play. One kick. And when the Illini needed it most, they looked to their ace — All-Big Ten kicker, David Olano. With the mix of Tennessee Orange and Illinois Blue lining Nissan Stadium and the fans screaming as loud as they can, Olano drilled a 29-yard […]
