The first half of the New York Jets game against the Carolina Panthers is in the books, and the Jets are trailing the Panthers, 10 – 3. The game opened with the Jets on offense. A nice kickoff return got the Jets great field position on their own 45 yard line to start the game. The Jets […]
They’re heading into the locker rooms at halftime at U.S. Bank Stadium, and our Minnesota Vikings are trailing the Philadelphia Eagles by a score of 14-6. The Vikings started the quarter with the ball, but on a third down play Carson Wentz threw a pass directly to Jalyx Hunt. That’s bad, because Hunt plays for […]

With no further ado, your FanDuel Sportsbook line of the week: This is a reasonable opening line. Miami is a top 10 team in the polls, and still have a […]
The Eagles defense was a mixed bag on their first drive of the game, but they were able to force the Vikings to kick a field goal thanks to a botched third-down snap and Azeez Ojulari chasing down the fumble. Shortly after that, however, Ojulari ended up heading in to the locker room and was […]
We’ve made it through the first quarter at U.S. Bank Stadium, and our Minnesota Vikings trail the Philadelphia Eagles by a score of 7-3. The Vikings won the coin toss and elected to defer to the second half, giving the defending Super Bowl champions the football first. As expected, the Eagles went heavy to Saquon […]
The best thing about a back-to-back weekend is that you don’t have time to sit around and feel sorry for yourself. After another disappointing loss on Saturday afternoon in New Jersey, the Oilers get an immediate chance to redeem themselves in Detroit, and I’ll be looking for a much better effort. Yesterday’s 5–3 loss to…
Not all exits are made equal. We see it time and again; veteran players losing a step, or veteran coaches watching the game pass them by. The more graceful among them transition easily into other roles, refusing to chase the limelight that had so effortlessly followed them in their prime. Vince Carter, for example, easily […]
The Rams beat down the Jaguars across the pond in a game that was never close. They inch closer to the 49ers, who hope the Cardinals drop a game to the Packers later this afternoon. We’ll have to wait until Monday to see if the Seahawks drop a game. This morning doesn’t have any marquee […]
The Reign earn a 2-1 win in Lu Barnes' final regular-season home match.
The 2025-26 season is upon us. Most teams have played about and at least five games at this point, giving a first look. Overreactions or over-emphasizing the early games can be a struggle — who could forget the Penguins last year started 3-2-0 before hitting a skid — but for now we only have so […]
Alex Formenton's return to the NHL seems imminent, but not with the Ottawa Senators , who still have his rights. On Insider Trading, Darren Dreger reported that, "Staios has given Formenton's agent, Darren Ferris, the permission to speak with other NHL clubs about the possibility of having his rights traded. Nothing imminent, but Formenton would like to come back." Formenton hasn't played in the NHL since 2021-22, when he scored 18 goals and 32 points in 79 games, but has been in the National ...
The Washington Commanders visit the Dallas Cowboys later this afternoon, so we’ve got a few games to watch early Sunday afternoon. Fox has three games and most of the country will be watching the Philadelphia Eagles visiting the Minnesota Vikings with Carson Wentz starting. There’s also an NFC game between the Saints and Bears, and […]
It’s week 7 of the NFL season and the New York Jets are home in East Rutherford, New Jersey to take on the Carolina Panthers. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 p.m. EDT. The Jets have opened the 2025 season with six straight losses. The defense had been horrendous before last week’s game against the Denver […]
The Carolina Panthers are on a two-game winning streak stretching back to the Week 5 of the 2025 regular season. Some might think the biggest test during this unprecedented stretch of success will be Carolina’s Week 8 home game against the Super Bowl-favorite Buffalo Bills. They would be wrong. The biggest test is going to […]
A real Canadian flavour to the Sunday Scramble this week (Go Blue Jays), and after giving my thoughts about our Edmonton Oilers in my column on Saturday, let’s capitalize on the neighbourly doom permeating provincial borders… This will be a big test for Calgary Flames general manager Craig Conroy. Will he make the panic move…
We’re a little more than ninety minutes from kickoff in Minneapolis, and the Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles have released their inactive lists for this afternoon’s contest. Let’s take a look at who will be sitting this one out on both sides. Philadelphia Eagles Calcaterra was the only player the Eagles ruled out on their […]
Through five games of the 2025-26 season, Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are both averaging over 23 minutes of time on ice (TOI). Not only does that lead the league for forwards, but it’s a higher rate than any forward has averaged in a season over the past decade. While the two superstars absolutely should…
Oregon volleyball hosted a pair of Big Ten teams over the weekend, and in the process displayed the growth and improvement we were looking for in the conference portion of the schedule. On Friday, the Ducks upset #18 Minnesota 3-1, and dropped a very competitive match yesterday against Penn State, 1-3. A point of note […]
Happy Sunday, Devils fans. In the final year of the “Jersey Jersey,” the New Jersey Devils are slated to wear their alternate 11 times. The Devils just returned from their season-opening road trip back on Thursday, and I already cannot imagine them wearing anything other than their red jerseys. With a 4-1-0 record on the […]
The Denver Grizzlies of the International Hockey League have a special place in the hearts of many Colorado Avalanche fans. They spent one season in Denver, playing out of McNichols Sports Arena during the 1994–95 season, winning the Turner Cup in their only season in Colorado. Even though the Utah Grizzlies were not technically the […]
Are the Jets set to participate in their third Heritage Classic and host their second one?
The Calgary Flames are off to a brutal start this season, and the media in Canada isn't holding back. After the Flames recent 6-1 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights, CBC analyst, and former NHL defenceman Kevin Bieksa called out the Flames for their lack of effort, and singled out forward Yegor Sharangovich. The 27-year-old Flames forward has posted one point in six games, and against the Golden Knights on Saturday, played 15:00 of ice-time, was a minus -1 rating, and didn't have a shot on goal....
Leaving the Toronto Maple Leafs was not an easy decision for Mitch Marner. The star forward wound up being traded to the Vegas Golden Knights over the summer, after it was clear to Leafs' GM Brad Treliving that he wasn't interested in re-signing a long-term contract. Toronto received Nicolas Roy in the deal, and now Marner is off to a hot start with his new team. The Golden Knights are 4-0-2 through their first six games and Marner has started the season strong with his new teammates, po...
The Edmonton Oilers remain among the older teams in the NHL. In fact, in 2024-25, they were the oldest team in the league. Their aging roster can be attributed to a variety of different factors, such as the frequent trading of draft picks during cup contention years, debatable drafting decisions with the picks they did…
