After splitting four home games last week, the 17-18 Chicago Bulls are hitting the road.
Over the next four days, Chicago will square off against three of the Eastern Conference’s top seven teams. On paper, their Saturday bout against the 13-23 Dallas Mavericks might look easy, but the Mavs’ greatest offensive strength is the Bulls’ biggest weakness: an oversized, athletic frontcourt.
Chicago was absolutely rattled by midgame injuries on two separate occasions last week.

Carlie Irsay Gordon calls for higher level urgency from Ballard & Steichen!
As expected, the Vancouver Whitecaps have cashed in on some key players from last season. What is perhaps less expected is that they have sold both Jayden Nelson and Ali Ahmed. So, I thought it was time to take stock of where the Whitecaps are and where they could potentially go from here. Thoughts on the Ahmed Sale Losing Ali Ahmed, in many ways, sucks. …

Monday, when announcing that the team has fired Pete Carroll as head coach after one season, the Las Vegas made it clear general manager, John Spytek, and team part owner Tom Brady will lead the hiring process. Brady, of course, was heavily involved in hiring Carroll last year. Brady and the Raiders turned to Carroll […]

FC Dallas has signed four academy products to Homegrown contracts, adding Jaidyn Contreras, Kaka Scabin, Slade Starnes and Caleb Swann to the roster.
The San Diego Padres’ minor league system has done a terrific job of developing top bullpen prospects. Last season, David Morgan provided outstanding appearances as a bridge-gap reliever. They may have another quality arm on the horizon, as Bradgley Rodriguez could have a meaningful role in the 2026 bullpen. Rodriguez’s rise to greatness The Padres […]
The San Francisco 49ers put up a stinker in the season finale against the Seattle Seahawks. It was a game that highlighted the discrepancy between the Jimmys and Joes on each team. That statistic success rate, especially passing success rate, is one of the highest correlations to winning in the NFL. On Saturday night, the […]
Offense The Ravens’ offense was on the field for 51 snaps in their season-ending loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night. Lamar Jackson played the entire game in his return to action under center, as did offensive tackles Ronnie Stanley and Roger Rosengarten, and center Tyler Linderbaum. Both starting guards suffered in-game injuries at […]
The Washington Commanders season is over, and it’s time to look towards the future. The team fell short this season, finishing with a 5-12 record, and third place in the NFC East. The Commanders announced they have signed 11 players to reserve/future contracts. The players announced today were all on the team’s 17-man practice squad. […]
It has been a while since the Nats have made a move, but that should change before too long. There are some obvious moves that could occur, like signing a first baseman or trading MacKenzie Gore. However, one move that is not as obvious is trading Jacob Young. It is far from a certainty, but […]
It’s a new year, but the Yankees still resemble their same old selves with minimal moves made thus far in the offseason. That may finally be changing, as there’s noise of a potential deal for Miami’s Edward Cabrera in the works, but for now we’ll have to wait and see if that gets completed. Even […]
Jets fans have been trained to fear one thing above all else. That a coaching staff will somehow ruin the next young quarterback. It’s an understandable anxiety given the last two decades. But it’s also a misunderstanding of how quarterbacks are actually developed in the NFL. History shows, again and again, that quarterbacks are shaped […]

Bruce Boudreau joined Gino Reda to give his reaction.
The Pittsburgh Pirates are hoping to improve their infield in 2026. While they have made some moves to already help with that by trading for Tampa Bay Rays second baseman Brandon Lowe, there is more that can be done. Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reporter Jason Mackey is reporting that the Pirates are interested in signing Seattle Mariners […]
The Chargers trotted out a bunch of backups against the Broncos starters and the game went about as good as you’d expect. Los Angeles lost 19-3 and barely managed to put up a fight outside of a few drives where they managed to cross the 50-yard line. Understandably, there wasn’t a ton to write home […]
The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears have the most storied rivalry in the sport, even if it has been extremely lopsided since 2009, when the Packers began a run of 29 wins over the Bears in 35 games. It’s the most-played game in NFL history, with Green Bay being up 109-97-6 all-time in the […]
