We have already seen a number of trades around the NHL by Christmas this season, but there is plenty more to come, some sooner than others and could be in the first half of January. There are three teams in particular that are being looked at as prime suspects in the trade market to do something in the short term. David Pagnotta said, "I'm looking at St. Louis, Seattle, and Anaheim. I think these are three teams that are looking to make some moves." The St. Louis Blues may be the most heavily ...
The Falcons have won two games in a row against a freefalling Buccaneers team and lousy Cardinals squad, but their last great challenge of the 2025 season is ahead. The Los Angeles Rams are one of the best teams in football, quarterbacked by a still-excellent Matthew Stafford, who is throwing the ball to all-world receiver […]

The NFL announced its Pro Bowl rosters on Tuesday and the Los Angeles Rams had four players make it for the NFC. Among those four players were Puka Nacua, Matthew Stafford, Jared Verse, and Byron Young. Not every player can make the Pro Bowl roster, but the Rams certainly had a few players miss out […]
The Seattle Seahawks needed a spark early in the third quarter in their monumental matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. They found it in their starting running back Kenneth Walker, who broke off his longest run in over a year to put the team up by one. The 55-yard score was Walker’s first touchdown since […]
The Lakers look set to be back at full strength on Christmas Day against the Rockets. On Wednesday, Shams Charania of ESPN reported that Luka would be going through a workout later in the day with the intention of making his return against Houston.

Every week, we gather to discuss the latest news about the Dallas Cowboys and seek our writer’s perspective on each headline. Welcome back to the roundtable. This week we have Sean Martin and David Howman. How would you grade Dak Prescott’s game versus the Chargers? Were the right throws there and just missed, or were windows consistently muddy? […]
The Los Angeles Rams have lost four games this season and all four of them have one thing in common. This is a team that has too often disappeared in the fourth quarter when it matters most. That was the complete opposite in 2021 when the Rams won the Super Bowl A common them in […]
The Seattle Seahawks’ win over the Los ANgeles Rams felt like two very different football games stitched together by halftime adjustments. The first half was sloppy, reactive, and at times frustrating on both sides of the ball. The second half, however, showed a team that corrected structural issues, leaned into schematic advantages, and played with […]
The Los Angeles Rams didn’t have a hard time scoring points without Davante Adams for most of their Week 16 game against the Seattle Seahawks and that’s something that Sean McVay will probably have to repeat at least two more times according to a report by ESPN on Wednesday. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the […]
The game ended, that’s the best thing we say about the Dallas Cowboys final game at home where the L.A. Chargers got an impressive victory. But how did the Cowboys rookie class perform during the defeat. Let’s break it down. OG Tyler Booker (Game stats- Snaps: 58, Pass Blocks: 38, Pressures: 1, Sacks: 1, Penalties: […]
The Los Angeles Rams have four players on the initial Pro Bowl roster, including Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, Jared Verse, and Byron Young. This is Stafford’s second trip to the Pro Bowl with the Rams, which is more than he had in 12 years with the Detroit Lions. It is Verse’s second Pro Bowl nod […]
While the Lakers may have figured things out with Jarred Vanderbilt, that certainly hasn’t solved all the issues. The bench remains an area of weakness, particularly offensively, for LA. It’s also been a shortcoming that’s been exasperated by the team’s recent injuries. The team has a host of role players who can fill various roles, […]
Switch-hitting Alex Freeland made his way to the majors in 2025, which qualifies this as a successful season for the 23-year-old shortstop. Freeland was called up to the Dodgers on July 29, the club’s second draft pick from 2022 to reach the majors. Freeland, a third-round pick that year out of Central Florida, was preceded […]

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 […]

Here we will break down an action-packed Week 16, but only from an LSU alumni perspective. Rams 37 at Seahawks 38 (OT) Omar Speights led the Rams with seven tackles and Anthony […]
It doesn’t feel like that long ago when the Dallas Cowboys were sitting pretty at cornerback. This team was expecting to have both its All-Pro cornerbacks healthy again and eventually add a promising young rookie to the mix. How could we not be happy with that?

Just because the offseason has been relatively slow for the Dodgers compared to the past two offseasons, that doesn’t mean the team doesn’t possess an unruly and tyrannical force upon baseball.
