The Las Vegas Raiders will be looking for a new offensive coordinator in 2026 to replace the fired Chip Kelly. Let’s look at some potential candidates. This, of course, is assuming that head coach Pete Carroll will return in 2026, which isn’t a sure thing at all. Some of these names would likely be candidates […]
Welcome back everyone to the Hike’s Peak podcast, thank you for coming back to the mountain! In the much-anticipated title bout, Boise State knocked out UNLV by TKO to win their third straight Mountain West championship game. We’ll break down how the Broncos did it, what went wrong for the Rebels, as well as if […]
The Jets are set up in 2026 to start building a team in the vision of Aaron Glenn and Darren Mougey. They have four picks in the first two rounds of the draft, and they’ll have over $100 million in cap space after some obvious cuts. They may even put themselves in a position to […]
Throughout the 2025 NFL season, SB Nation’s Doug Farrar will write about the game’s Secret Superstars — those players whose performances might slip under the radar for whatever reasons. In this installment, we focus on Miami Dolphins center Aaron Brewer, who came from humble beginnings and an uncertain NFL future early on. Maybe nobody expected Brewer to become […]
The Dallas Cowboys lost to the Detroit Lions last week and as a result they have a little bit more work to do with regards to making the playoffs. Thanks to the Los Angeles Chargers, that work appears less daunting than it did on Monday morning, but if the version of Dallas that went to […]
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero, the Indianapolis Colts are signing 44-year-old quarterback Philip Rivers, who is coming out of retirement with his old team. This is indeed a desperate call for a desperate measure, given that the Colts are facing a winless finish regardless of who they turn to at quarterback. […]
The standings are incredibly tight in the AFC South. The Jacksonville Jaguars lead the division at 9-4. The Houston Texans and Indianapolis Colts are 8-5 apiece. Unfortunately the 2-11 Tennessee Titans are the AFC South’s only non-competitive team. The Colts are on a downslide. Things have gone disastrously since they traded two first-round selections to […]
The Chargers are now winners of two consecutive games coming off of their Week 12 bye. While the win over the Raiders was nice, being able to outlast the defending Super Bowl champions in overtime, in your own stadium, in primetime, is incredibly hard to top. Justin Herbert played through a surgically-repaired left hand and […]
It was an outstanding weekend for both Manchester City’s boys and girls. The men took advantage of Arsenal’s defeat to close the gap with a 3-0 victory over Sunderland, and 24 hours later, the girls grabbed the same result at Leicester, moving six points clear of Chelsea at the top of the WSL. Chelsea’s surprise […]
The Kansas City Chiefs’ latest loss felt like the nail in the coffin of this 2025 season. After the 20-10 defeat at the hands of the Houston Texans, the collective power rankings pushed the Chiefs down as far as possible for a team led by two-time MVP quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Here’s this week’s sampling: NFL.com: […]
The Los Angeles Chargers are coming off a big win against the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles in overtime in Week 14 and now they are getting ready to play the team they lost to in the big game in the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chargers are a better team record-wise than the Chiefs, […]
“Players, not plays.” That’s a phrase you’ll hear often in the football space. For the San Francisco 49ers, Kyle Shanahan and Robert Saleh can come up with all of the complex and creative schemes imaginable, but the players not only have to execute, but they also need to win. The 49ers will need more from […]
The Rams might be having their best season since the Greatest Show on Turf in 1999, which makes this week a good opportunity to remember what L.A. must not do again if they want to secure the NFC’s number one seed in the playoffs: Don’t have a slip up against the Detroit Lions. It was […]
Cornerback Donte Jackson recorded his fourth interception of the season on Monday night and his ninth overall over the past two seasons. That takeaway helped solidify an elite 91.6 game grade for the veteran as he left the team’s win as the highest-graded player in primetime. For anyone who managed to watch the entire game, […]
The Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals squared off on a cold, snowy day in Orchard Park, NY. With both teams featuring some of the worst run defense the league has seen in 2025, naturally the game was run heavy on both sides of the ball. Well, not quite. The Bills held up to their end […]
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, longtime since retired 44-year-old veteran quarterback Philip Rivers actually worked out for the suddenly desperate Indianapolis Colts on Monday—and reportedly ‘threw well’: Further, per ESPN’s Pat McAfee, following his shocking, yet impressive workout last night “all indications are that Rivers will be announced as the Colts quarterback at some point […]
The Buffalo Bills trailed the Cincinnati Bengals by a field goal on Sunday, at that moment losing 21-18 in a game that hadn’t gone their way for much of the afternoon. When Buffalo looked as if they were about to take the lead, they instead committed a costly turnover at the Cincinnati one-yard line. After […]
The Buffalo Sabres had two days off on their road trip after Friday’s loss to the Winnipeg Jets 4-1, allowing them to catch some of the cold western Canadian air before playing four road games this week. They were snakebit 5-on-5, creating a myriad of 22 high danger chances, according to Natural Stat Trick, but…
Greg Dulcich has become a reliable weapon for the Miami Dolphins when Tua Tagovailoa is forced out of the pocket.
Another loss to the Green Bay Packers for the Chicago Bears, but it didn’t feel like a typical loss. Chicago lost by a touchdown on the second-to-last play of the game. Somehow though, it wasn’t a gut-wrenching, nut punch of a loss like so many that came before. Is it because the Bears get a […]
The Kansas City Chiefs’ injury woes continued in the 20-10 loss to the Houston Texans in Week 14. In the first quarter, the Chiefs lost offensive tackle Wanya Morris, already filling in for a starter, and two-time All-Pro cornerback Trent McDuffie; both suffered knee injuries and remained sidelined for the rest of the evening. In […]
What a weird season this has been for the Falcons, and I absolutely mean that in a bad way. Any hope we had early on was choked out weeks ago. Nothing this team does makes sense, whether it’s getting shut out entirely by the Carolina Panthers or beating the Bills. And normally in a lost […]
New episode of The Fergie Fledglings. Colin, Nathan and Pauly react to Manchester United’s 4-1 win over a depressingly bad Wolverhampton Wanderers team. Three points and three second-half goals to overcome a worrying first half, and Bruno Fernandes back on the scoresheet as a loud reminder of how he is still quietly one of the […]
For everyone wanted the Blackhawks to call up a forward for additional depth before playing three games in four days, your wish is granted. No, it’s not Nick Lardis . On Tuesday morning, the Blackhawks recalled forward Dominic Toninato from the IceHogs. Toninato, 31, has 17 points (five goals, 12 assists) in 24 games this season with Rockford. He appeared in 20 NHL games with the Winnipeg Jets the previous three seasons combined. The Blackhawks signed Toninato to a two-year, tw...
New Virginia Tech head coach James Franklin made former Hokies head coach Brent Pry his defensive coordinator over the weekend. Pry and Franklin go back a long time, with Pry serving on Franklin’s staff at Vanderbilt and Penn State. On Tuesday, Franklin found his first offensive coordinator at Virginia Tech: Ty Howle. Howle, 34, is […]
