One of the big things of note has been San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy’s huge night in the 48-27 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Arguably the best game of his career. Purdy went 25-34 (73 percent completion), 295 yards, and five touchdowns. In other words, Purdy went Al Bundy. Yes, I know Bundy was […]
The San Diego Padres have a current pitching rotation of Michael King, Nick Pivetta, Joe Musgrove, Randy Vasquez and possibly JP Sears, Kyle Hart or Matt Waldron. There is still time for the Padres to add more pitching this offseason and conventional wisdom says they will. How much, is another problem altogether, especially considering the […]
Mattia Perin has routinely said in the past that playing a part-time role at Juventus is something that matters more to him than being the full-time starter at pretty much any of the other clubs in Italy. It’s why, even after such a lengthy stay in Turin, there hasn’t appeared to be a temptation for […]
The Milwaukee Bucks got back in the win column after a convincing 111-94 win over the Indiana Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

The Detroit Lions’ playoff chances are little to none, but the boys in Honolulu Blue still have to suit up again on Christmas Day.

Cooper Flagg turned 19 last weekend and the former Duke Blue Devil is well on his way to greatness in the NBA. After a bit of a slow start as he played out of position at point guard, Flagg is back at forward and absolutely destroying the league. He’s averaging 18.8 points, 6.4 rebounds, 3.5 […]

The pantheon of great basketball players has a problem with recency bias. Think about it: who do you think about when you think about the all-time greats? These guys are probably on your list: After that? Maybe Kareem, Magic, Bird. Maybe Olajuwon. Jerry West at least gets the logo. Usually left off are guys like […]

Keep the Dots, Ya Filthy Animal
Team USA roster season is basically here, and the early buzz is already getting uncomfortable for some fans. Michael Russo of The Athletic is expecting three names, having excellent seasons, to be on the outside looking in for the 2026 Olympics, with Cole Caufield, Jason Robertson, and John Carlson all trending toward a surprise snub.
Why Cole Caufield and Jason Robertson might miss out
The wild part with Caufield is it’s not about talent (obviously), it’s about the team's fit and th...
We have reached the NHL’s Christmas break, Blackhawks fans. And… things aren’t great right now. The Blackhawks have sunk to dead last in the NHL standings . The break comes at a good time for the Blackhawks, who have lost their last six in a row and eight of their last ten. After the game last night, André Burakovsky looked like a frustrated man who needs a break. And I’m sure he’s not alone in that regard.
It’s not great. They can be a tough watch if you’re just looking for lots of goals...

The Nashville Predators are headed for a fire sale this season and GM Barry Trotz is going to have to approach veteran Steven Stamkos on where he'd like his next chapter of his hockey career to be. The Preds are slowly creeping down the standings in the Western Conference, and Trotz is going to have no choice but to make a few moves. Stamkos started slow this year but has turned it on of late. He enters the Christmas break with 15 goals and 22 points in 36 games this season, and is playing 17:...

70/30. That’s the percentage that NHL insider puts on future Hall of Fame goaltender Marc-André Fleury lacing the skates up once again, and if he were to, the Edmonton Oilers could be one of the front runners. Seravalli made the comments about Fleury’s future on Monday morning radio hit with Sports 1440’s Kevin Karius. “There’s been…
