In a perfect world, I think the top five should have one team from each division. That’s not about spreading the hype or artificial parity. It’s just the reality of the current playoff format, where each division is virtually assured of sending one team to the final four. (The exception would be a crossover wildcard “winning” a division it wasn’t even in, which would be very funny but has sadly never happened. Yet.) If our top five is about the long-term view, projecting ahead to an eventual C...
As the Rangers season goes from bad to worse, firing Chris Drury may feel like an easy decision, it may even be deserved, but does it do anything to fix the Rangers?

This story was graciously written for NetsDaily by Eliott Caillot, a French student currently enrolled at Butler University. Though he works for The Playoffs, a French-language sports outlet, Eliott was recently credentialed for a few Brooklyn Nets games and practices during a trip to New York. He also conducted a lengthy interview with rookie Nolan […]
Meet the Mets Admittedly the Mets haven’t done a ton in terms of additions this offseason, but what they have added in the bullpen could potentially be a massive victory. As Carlos Beltran is likely only a few weeks away from being elected to the Hall of Fame as a Met, it’s a good time […]
The 2025 season was a disaster for the New York Jets. The team posted a dismal 3-14 record and set history, becoming the first team since stats were first recorded in 1933 to register zero interceptions for an entire season. The Jets finished the year with five consecutive losses of 23 points or more and […]
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
Welcome to the first full week of 2026. Posting windows for Japanese talent are closing, so we’re seeing the final results of those moves. The hot stove is also getting hot again, so we’re going to see things pick up pace with the trade and free agent markets, which is something we look forward to […]
It took until the New Year, but we finally have our first real smoke emanating from the previously dormant Yankees hot stove. On Sunday, multiple outlets reported that the Yankees and Marlins were engaged in serious talks surrounding starting pitcher Edward Cabrera. It’s far from the first time that the Yankees have had rumored interest […]
We’re in the midst of Hall of Fame season. The public announcement that tells us whether any of the players on the current ballot join those currently in Cooperstown is coming on January 20, and Ryan Thibodaux and friends’ ballot tracker is going strong, at 123 ballots as I write. I do not have a […]
Cowboys season ends poorly with 34-17 loss to Giants – Mark Heaney, Inside The Star And with that, the 2025 Cowboys season mercifully comes to a close. The 2025 Dallas Cowboys season is officially in the books, as a 34-17 loss against the New York Giants capped off a 7-8-1 record for the team. This […]
Here are your links for today: Devils Links Jesper Bratt tallied a couple points, Dougie Hamilton scored for the first time in forever and the Devils took a 4-1 win over the Mammoth on Saturday. [Devils NHL] Then on Sunday, Luke Hughes had a rough outing (and got booed), the Devils scored one goal and […]
The Islanders are in a Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday pattern over the next couple of weeks as they finish their brief homestand with the Devils on Tuesday before a seven-game western road trip. That one starts with Nashville and Minnesota before crossing the border for Winnipeg and a full northwestern four-pack. But first, one more at home with […]
The Knicks and the Pistons are clashing tonight for the first time this season in a No. 1 vs. No. 2 showdown. Too bad the game is at Pizza Palace and not MSG. Here’s some of what’s been said in the last few hours. Mike Brown On the Knicks’ offensive identity breaking down: “It’s been […]
Are we about to see a key domino drop in the Yankees’ offseason? Brian Cashman has stated publicly that he wants to add a starter, and though they’ve been quiet on that front in the free agent market, it sounds like they could be making progress on the trade market. Yesterday’s reporting had the Yankees […]
New York Post | Mark Suleymanov: Most of the day Sunday was spent with increasing amounts of smoke swirling out of the Yankees’ and Marlins’ media beats, as a potential trade for right-hander Edward Cabrera appeared to be under consideration. Cabrera will turn 28 in April 2026, with three more years of team control, and […]
Six of the seven teams in the AFC playoff picture were set heading into Week 18 including the Buffalo Bills clinching a Wild Card spot, but the order of those teams was still very much in doubt. Buffalo moved up with their Week 18 win after all was said and done. With the Bills’ win, […]
Brandon Bussi made 28 saves on 29 shots and the Carolina Hurricanes held on to a lead as they defeated the New Jersey Devils on Sunday night, 3-1 at the Prudential Center. Bussi improved his record to 14-2-1 in his first NHL season. It was the second game of a back-to-back situation for the Canes, […]
I hate to say it, but I wanted to see the Jets lose in Week 18 to the Buffalo Bills. It was only partially dude to positioning in the NFL Draft. Of course, as a result of the 35-8 loss combined with the Giants’ win over the Cowboys, the Jets did clinch the number two […]
First Period The Carolina Hurricanes took the lead right off the jump, as Nikolaj Ehlers tipped an early shot off of Jake Allen. It would have stayed out, but Luke Hughes redirected the puck right into the net, giving the Hurricanes a 1-0 lead. Mark Jankowski left the game just a couple minutes into the […]
Sunday was definitely the best day of the Las Vegas Raiders’ miserable 2025 season. The day started when the Raiders secured the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 draft when the New York Giants beat the Dallas Cowboys in the early window Sunday. It’s the first time the Raiders will pick first in 19 […]
The regular season finale for the Chargers unfortunately came and went with little to highlight in their 19-3 loss to the Broncos. With the Bills beating the Jets on top of their loss, the Bolts are now set as the AFC’s No. 7 seed and will now face the Patriots on the road in the […]
The Buffalo Bills closed out their regular season in epic fashion, denying the New York Jets any momentum in what was very likely the last meaningful game at the original Highmark Stadium. Buffalo’s Week 18 was about so many things other than winning, from exiting as healthy as possible, to giving quite a few players […]
Cha-ching Buffalo Bills tight ends were one of the stories of the game for the team’s victory over the New York Jets in the final regular-season game at Highmark Stadium, and some other members of the team were awarded a little extra monetary reimbursement to pay off those Christmas credit card bills. Tight end Dalton […]
The Jets lost to the Buffalo Bills in Week 18 action by the embarrassing score of 35-8. In the defeat, the Jets did gain something. The team clinched the second overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The team entered Week 18 in the third slot, trailing the Giants in the strength of schedule tiebreaker. […]
