The case for the Oilers to retire Ryan Nugent-Hopkins’ number

On Sunday, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins played his 1,000th game with the Edmonton Oilers. As you know, the Oilers have a long and storied history, but the longest-tenured Oiler became the first player in team history to play 1,000 games exclusively with the Oilers, and just the second player to play his 1,000th game with the team….

Chicago Bulls Trade Buzz: Who’s Available? Potential Targets, More

I can count on my fingers and toes how many days are left until the NBA trade deadline. But I’d need everyone’s fingers if I tried to count how many trade rumors the Chicago Bulls are tied to. With seven expiring contracts on the books, the Bulls should be the belle of the ball when it comes to trade negotiations. Yet with nothing materializing so far, Chicago risks striking out on extracting real value from its assets — a headline the franchise seems oddly comfortable wearing. Still...

Scouting the future: Graterol, Romero highlight Chicago’s global haul

The Chicago White Sox officially kicked off the 2026 international signing period last week by announcing a deep class of 18 prospects, spending a significant portion of the $6,679,200 international bonus pool that was allocated to the club this year. Spread across position players and pitching prospects, Chicago’s international class tilts slightly toward the mound […]

Why Lunar Owls’ Aaliyah Edwards and Marina Mabrey are better in Unrivaled than the WNBA

There are many well-documented ways in which Unrivaled serves as an extension of the WNBA, from rosters and coaching staffs to player rivalries and friendships. But, there’s still a significant difference between the basketball itself. Within the small-sided constraints of Unrivaled basketball, individual skill is given a taller podium. Fewer help defenders within the same […]

In Praise of Toumani Camara

When perusing Portland Trail Blazers highlights and news briefs, two names are bound to come up more than any other: high-flying guard Shaedon Sharpe and Mr. Everything, Deni Avdija. Next to them toils a less-heralded forward, known well in Portland circles but absent from national discussion: Toumani Camara. In his third year, Camara is averaging […]

Ahead of Wednesday’s game against Detroit, Craig Berube discussed the decision to start Joseph Woll in net, Chris Tanev’s status, and the challenge/significance of the matchup against the Red Wings. What drove the decision to go back to Joseph Woll for tonight’s start in goal? Berube: I get that last game was a tough game.

The Celtics should (basically) not make a trade this year

Oh boy, welcome back to our annual Socratic seminar about “should the Celtics make a trade this year?” A tradition unlike any other, it’s one of the most important questions for each Celtics season — answering it can reflect the state of the team, the direction and goals for the coming playoff run or tanking extravaganza. […]

40 in 40: Logan Evans turns two

Logan Evans’ future depends on two numbers from his rookie season:  That .493 difference was the largest such split in 2025 and one of the 20 largest splits in MLB history. Which number is a better reflection of his true talent?  OPS allowed isn’t the ideal measure for pitchers. I use it here as it’s […]

Jaxon Smith-Njigba wins Offensive Player of the Year award

The Seattle Seahawks fielded a surprisingly potent offense during the 2025 season, setting a franchise record for points scored on the season. Much of the credit for the offense being as prolific as it was goes to third year wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who finished the regular season with a league-leading 1,793 receiving yards as […]

Cody Bellinger re-ups with the Yankees

I don’t think anyone really expected another outcome for Cody Bellinger. Did you? Here’s the deal that returns Bellinger to the Bronx: Bellinger’s swing seems well-suited for Yankee Stadium, and that shows in his splits from 2025. Home: .302/.365/.544 with 18 home runs in 298 at-batsAway: .241/.301/.414 with 11 home runs in 290 at-bats So […]

At Long Last, Cody Bellinger is Re-Signing with the Yankees

We wondered whether last night’s Luis Robert Jr. Mets trade was a sign that a different center field deal was just about wrapped up, and sure enough, at long last, Cody Bellinger is returning to the Yankees. Among all the offseason free agent possibilities, this one seemed like the surest bet to play out eventually: Cody Bellinger's deal with the Yankees is for five years and $162.5 million, sources tell ESPN. There are opt-outs after the second and third season, a $20M signing bonus...

Ben Johnson Isn’t Interested in Moral Victories

Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson didn’t sound like a coach interested in perspective when he stepped to the podium at Halas Hall for the final time this season. In the days since the Bears’ 20–17 overtime loss to the Rams in the Divisional Round , much of the conversation around Chicago has leaned toward optimism, from me included. A wildly successful first season, a foundation laid, a team ahead of schedule. Johnson made it clear Wednesday that he doesn’t see it that way at all....
