Arbeloa Is Starting To Find His Rhythm

When Real Madrid appointed Alvaro Arbeloa in lieu of Xabi Alonso mid-season, there was little hope or optimism for a turnaround.

Report: Flyers nearly acquired Patrik Laine at NHL trade deadline

The Philadelphia Flyers were not one of the busiest teams at the trade deadline this year, but they reportedly were calling the Montreal Canadiens about a goal-scoring winger that they probably could’ve had for very cheap. Instead of adding a whole lot, the Flyers paid more attention to addressing some problems at the trade deadline. They moved from their winger surplus and got a very high-potential defenseman in the Bobby Brink-David Jiricek deal with the Minnesota Wild. They were able t...

Is it time to jump on the Didier Fuentes hype train?

Okay, so we’ve got to talk about Didier Fuentes. I think everybody here knows by now that spring training results should usually be taken with a grain of salt.

The Dallas Cowboys have made an addition to their quarterback room by signing free agent Sam Howell to a one-year, $2.5 million deal. It comes with $2 million fully guaranteed, and he can earn an extra $500,000 if he reaches certain playing time incentives tied to the team making a playoff run. While this is chump change […]

Let’s Go Crazy: Blackhawks at Wild Preview

The Blackhawks and Wild renew acquaintances on Thursday night in the Twin Cities, just about 48 hours after the Wild beat the Hawks 4-3 in overtime on Tuesday night at the United Center, which has been the outcome of every meeting between these two Central Division foes this season. There’s nothing new to report on either team, so no need for a lengthy preamble here.
