The days get shorter and the weather gets colder, and pumpkins adorn the stoops of houses. A familiar dread creeps into the heart as I anxiously await the return of a horrific menace. But I’m not worried about zombies, witches, or any other fictional beasties. It’s a very real horror that quickens my pulse and […]
Just in time for Halloween, The Athletic’s One scary statistic from each NHL team early in the 2025-26 season ($) is sure to terrify. Here’s what writer James Mirtle had to say about the Florida Panthers:
1.89 goals per 60 at five-on-five
Incredibly, the Panthers are scoring more goals than just two teams at even strength right now, a huge reason they’ve started the season 5-5-1. Some of that is bad luck — their shooting percentage is unsustainably low — but they also clearly miss Al...

It’s game week of course here at Hammer and Rails with the Boilermakers heading to Ann Arbor this weekend to take on the Wolverines in a night game. What could possibly go wrong? Well, I sent some questions over to Nick Durand from Maize ‘N Brew and he was nice enough to answer them for […]
The Eagles made a small but intriguing move ahead of the NFL trade deadline, acquiring nickel cornerback Michael Carter II from the New York Jets in what’s effectively a late-round draft pick swap with John Metchie III moving the other way. Carter, a fifth-year pro, was once one of the league’s most reliable slot defenders, […]
The New Jersey Devils might have a goalie crunch coming, and Nico Daws sits at the center of it. He looks NHL ready and just showed it with a sharp outing against the Minnesota Wild . But with Jacob Markstrom nearing a return and Jake Allen in the mix, Daws could soon head back to the AHL. That is where the calendar starts to matter. Once he is recalled and spends 30 days on the NHL roster or plays 10 NHL games, he will require waivers the next time he is sent down. Lose a young go...

The Hawkeye men begin their basketball season Tuesday, 11/4, against Robert Morris. This will be the first look we get from the team, as they absconded the standard exhibition in favor of a second secret scrimmage against the team who knocked out Ben McCollum’s Drake Bulldogs, Texas Tech. From the sounds of it, the Hawkeyes […]
Last night’s game between the Washington Wizards and the Oklahoma City Thunder was a lesson in NBA reality. The Thunder are the league’s best team. Their odds of repeating as champions are better than Washington’s odds of winning the draft lottery — even if the Wizards finish with the NBA’s worst record. Even missing their […]
With only 3 returning players from last season, there was a big need to bring in some talent and experience. Damon Stoudamire ended up bringing in 4 new faces to supplement the roster, a few of which should play significant roles this season.

If Ole Miss learned a lesson from the Georgia game and took it to Oklahoma, it’s that they can’t blow a two-score forth-quarter lead if they don’t have a two-score fourth-quarter lead because they blew a two-score third-quarter lead. You know, strategery and things of that nature. As we know, Ole Miss overcame the third-quarter […]

The Devils will also visit Army, […]
The Islanders’ fruitless four-game road trip continues in Washington after an eminently forgettable loss to the Hurricanes last night in Raleigh. They enter the evening last in the Eastern Conference — by points percentage as well as raw points now after last night’s regulation loss — and for many Isles fans, that’s quite according to […]
Good morning Gang Green Nation! The New York Jets have been rumored to be in the market for trading Breece Hall for months. Now, as the trade deadline looms just a few days away, sources are saying, not so fast. Rumors are the Jets may be more inclined to extend Hall than trade him. What […]
