The New England Patriots already know their 2026 opponents, and have done so since the end of the regular season in January. What they do not know yet, however, is when they will play all of them. With the NFL Draft in the rear view mirror and the calendar having turned to May, that mystery […]
First, a shoutout to Kevin Broom and Greg Finberg who have been handling the bulk of the editing. I’ve been out on a winter vacation and am still getting my bearings back in order. Now onto the big story hitting the Washington Wizards: Atlanta Hawks guard Trae Young is reportedly preferring the Washington Wizards as […]
The dynamics of the National League Central continue to shift as the St. Louis Cardinals continue their rebuild of their minor league system with many unknowns on their major league roster while the Chicago Cubs made a big trade for Miami Marlins pitcher Edward Cabrera. I first saw the news of this Chicago Cubs acquisition […]

The Philadelphia Flyers took care of business at home on Tuesday night against the Anaheim Ducks, skating their way to a 5-2 victory over their cross-country rivals. They did all of that without Matvei Michkov, who missed the game due to a foot issue. Michkov took a friendly fire pass off his skate late in the third period of Saturday afternoon’s win in Edmonton. It was still bothering him on Tuesday with some swelling, but his X-rays came back negative. Tocchet says Michkov had an x...
If the L.A. Rams are going to get star right guard Kevin Dotson back in time to face the Panthers on Saturday, he will need to get back on a field soon. Unfortunately, Dotson missed practice again on Wednesday, just three days before the wild card game, and hasn’t practiced since being injured by the […]
The San Jose Sharks hopped a plane this morning and headed to Los Angeles for the second game in as many nights. This is a very important game for the Sharks because the team has a chance to move up in the standings, and while it’s still early in the season by playoff standards, it’s points like these that matter most. The Los Angeles Kings are just above the Sharks in the wild card race, and getting two points in regulation would go a long way for the Sharks. This is the third ...

If Trevon Diggs does end up replacing one of the Green Bay Packers’ cornerbacks this week against the Chicago Bears, don’t expect it to be Keisean Nixon. Defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley had some strong praise for Nixon in his weekly presser on Wednesday. I think he’ll play a great game. You know, I know he’s […]
The New England Patriots had Jared Wilson back on hand to begin the postseason. The rookie left guard, who missed consecutive starts while in the NFL’s concussion protocol, wore a red non-contact jersey during Wednesday’s work on the Los Angeles Chargers. Sack leader Harold Landry III and tackle leader Robert Spillane were also present after […]
The Green Bay Packers inched closer to full strength on Wednesday as they continued preparations for Saturday’s Wild Card Round matchup against the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field. The biggest development came in the secondary, where safety Javon Bullard (knee) was limited again after leaving Week 18 early but remains firmly on track to play. That matters for a Packers defense that relies heavily on Bullard’s versatility in sub-packages. On the flip side, Bo Melton (knee) was officially pl...
Kickers have certainly been in the news cycles this week (don’t remind Baltimore Ravens fans about that). In the case of the Kentucky Wildcats, there’s good news. Jacob Kauwe is set to return for the 2026 season. He gave a hint on his Twitter page that he would be returning, before later informing Kentucky Sports […]
It hasn’t been an easy first half of the season for Kasperi Kapanen. He had played in just six games before injuring his knee on October 19th against the Detroit Red Wings, and when he was nearing a return in November, he suffered a setback in practice. He left the ice in frustration, taking it…
Editor’s note: With several sports going on, Wildcat Wrap serves as a recap that focuses on the Arizona programs that we do not have the time to cover on a regular basis but are certainly worthy of recognition. The Arizona men’s and women’s tennis teams are expected to be competitive in the Big 12 this […]
Barcelona gave their fans in Saudi Arabia just what they wanted. The thumping of Athletic Club looked more like a Harlem Globetrotters show than a cup match with a trophy on the line. For as good as Barcelona has been lately, the wins for the most part haven’t come easy. It’s nice to see a […]
The New York Knicks (23–13) host the Los Angeles Clippers (13–22) at Madison Square Garden, looking to stop a four-game slide. L.A. arrives playing its best basketball after winning seven of its last eight, tightening its defense and controlling tempo. Kawhi Leonard is playing great basketball again, and James Harden has been upgraded to active […]
The transfer portal has been working overtime the past few days, and LSU has added—at the time of this writing at least—six more players since Tuesday, and some of them have been pretty impactful additions. If we’re working in chronological order, the first addition that LSU made dating back to Tuesday was Boise State safety […]
As the Chicago Bears prepare to take on the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card round of the NFL Playoffs this Saturday, the second official injury report of the week has been released.

The Arizona Cardinals are hiring their fifth head coach since I took over the site in 2016. After Jess left, I watched the Arizona Cardinals go from Super Bowl favorite back to the dregs of the NFL, it is always interesting to see how these things go. Think about this, the Arizona Cardinals went from […]
