Welcome to the 2026 Transfer Portal season. The portal is officially open and the information is about to start flowing. We’ve got an amended roster count, and it’s a lot lighter than it was just a few days ago. That isn’t a surprise, the portal is easy to get into. For players, coaches, and fans. […]
One day before the end of the winter window, Atlético de Madrid have reached an agreement with Atalanta to sign their star forward Ademola Lookman, in what marks the club’s first incoming transfer under sporting director Mateu Alemany. Lookman flew to Madrid on Sunday afternoon for his medical. On Monday, he will put pen to […]
Tonight, Toronto Raptors will face off against the Utah Jazz, starting a 5-game home stand that will carry them to the All-Star break. This is their first of two matchups against the Jazz this season, the other slated to occur in late March. Toronto was able to prevail in both games against the Jazz last […]
The New York Rangers had a deal in place to move Artemi Panarin to the Seattle Kraken, likely for a package including Shane Wright, and for now, Panarin has rejected the move. The Russian winger has a full no-movement clause and is well within his right to make things difficult for Rangers' GM Chris Drury. Panarin has been scratched for a couple of games now while Drury works on facilitating a deal he'll approve. There's been plenty of talk about teams wanting to complete a contract extension ...
From a hollow comeback to questions about leadership and effort, the Rangers are stuck in limbo until the roster starts changing.
For many Cleveland Browns fans, the hiring of HC Todd Monken was a strong move away from the youth and upside approach that the analytics-focused team has focused on. The assumption made sense. Monken will turn 60 years old in a few days and talks with the kind of gruff, gravely voice that befits a […]
Who is he and where did he come from? He’s Jake Bennett, the former Oklahoma Sooner and 2022 second-round draft pick who the Red Sox acquired for Luis Perales earlier in the offseason. This is curious because Perales had just returned from a 2024 UCL tear and still is just 22 years old, but the […]
Atletico Madrid agree a €40m deal with Atalanta to sign Nigerian winger Ademola Lookman, with the transfer pending a medical and contract signing.
Last week, ESPN’s Seth Walder put together a list of the top-100 MVP candidates for the 2025 NFL season. We already know the five finalists for the actual MVP award—Josh Allen, Trevor Lawrence, Drake Maye, Matthew Stafford, and Christian McCaffrey—and the winner will be announced later this upcoming week at the NFL Honors on Thursday, […]
Meet the Mets Anthony DiComo of MLB.com dove into the outlook for the Mets’ rotation in 2026 now that it seems more or less set. Mets reliever Adbert Alzolay, who the Mets signed to a two-year minor league deal last offseason as he spent 2025 recovering from Tommy John surgery, is healthy and ready to […]
The San Diego Padres held their annual Padres FanFest at Petco Park and fans came out to see the organizational leadership and the some of the players who were in attendance. One of the fans who made the trip to the ballpark and committed to a full day was Cheri Bell of Gaslamp Ball. She […]
The Atlanta Hawks concluded their regular season series with the Indiana Pacers with a disappointing 129-124 loss at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Saturday night. Jalen Johnson notched 33-point, 12-rebound, and 10-assist triple-double, his eighth of the season ahead of what is expected to be his first All-Star nod later today. Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 21 points for […]
The Blackhawks schedule is giving everyone — the players, coaches and fans — a desperately needed full weekend off to exhale and get ready for two more exciting games before… three weeks off. The Hawks will be on the ice for a practice this morning, getting ready for Macklin Celebrini and the San Jose Sharks to visit the United Center on Monday night. Good read here from Scott Powers at The Athletic about Connor Bedard and Frank Nazar appearing to be back to where they were before their...
Sorry about the lack of content the last couple of days. It has been busy. It should ease off soon. Mason Fluharty is a 24-year-old left-handed pitcher. The Jays picked him in the fifth round of the 2022 draft. He was #40 on our 40-man prospect list in 2022. Matt said: Listed at 6’2” and […]

Was anyone else not surprised that it took an all-world comeback for the Oilers to finally win their third game in a row? This team is ridiculous, and it only made sense for them to get the monkey off their back in the most impossible way imaginable. Down three goals to winning in overtime. If…
We are officially into February, and Barcelona enter the stretch run of the season having already claimed the Spanish Super Cup and on top of the La Liga table, with a Copa del Rey quarter-final coming up soon and a Champions League Round of 16 to be played next month. Standards are always high at […]

Before you immediately run to the comments and simply put “YES”, hear me out. The St. Louis Cardinals have spent the entire offseason actually committing to the (re)build, but have done so by trading away high-priced and/or underperforming veterans and restocking the minor league pitching staff. Those deals have created opportunities around the diamond, except […]
ESPN’s Mel Kiper and NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah are two of the biggest names in the mock draft business and have been for years. So today we ask ourselves what would have happened if the Cowboys had followed the pair’s mock draft suggestions in the first round of the last six drafts, and how that compares […]
The NFL’s Pro Bowl is on Tuesday. Or I should say the NFL Pro Bowl Games. Pro Bowl games used to be full contact affairs. Then they slowly started removing some of the contact elements for injury concerns. It started to resemble non-contact football, especially across the line of scrimmage. So they decided to replace […]
The Phillies will be a contender this year. They have assembled a talented roster that has the ability to go on a run that would ultimately lead them to lifting a trophy when the season ends. This very fact can sometimes offend people who might believe otherwise. Does the team have some holes? Sure. Every […]
Prior to the season, we expected the Milwaukee Bucks to make the playoffs and maybe even win a round, while the Boston Celtics were anticipating a gap year following Jayson Tatum’s Achilles injury—our friends over at Celtics Blog even said as much. How wrong we were. After another loss to the Washington Generals Wizards, the […]

As the Feb. 5 trade deadline approaches, it’s time for the Dallas Mavericks to reevaluate their path forward in building around Cooper Flagg. Dallas is at a crossroads, left with limited assets and aging, injury-prone sidekicks following Hurricane Nico. Following Anthony Davis’ hand injury and Kyrie Irving potentially nearing a return to play, the Mavericks […]
