In Today’s Links: where do the Seattle Seahawks stand around the league as far as their QB situation, a John Schneider press conference, a look at the most recent free agent signings by the ‘Hawks, Riq’s reasons for leaving, a mock draft (or two), and more. #np Bird On A Wire by Action Bronson and […]
Episode 46 of the Bleacher Nation Cubs Podcast is officially live! In this week’s episode, Brett and I talk about the explosion of roster changes the Mets underwent, especially this week. And that includes, of course, a healthy discussion about the Freddy Peralta trade. We keep coming up against this wall wherein we know the trade is a good idea, but can’t bring ourselves to want the Cubs to do something similar. In the middle of that conversation, we go off on a wide tangent about M...
It seems like any time Artemi Panarin’s name has come up with the phrase “potentially available” near it, Blackhawks fans have had the Jackson 5 ready to go. Yes, the New York Rangers are entering a likely 6-7 teardown period during which it appears any/all of their pending free agents will be available for trade (maybe some of their veterans with term as well). The reports that Artemi Panarin, in the final year of his contract, will not receive another contract from the Blue Shirts has l...
The 2025-26 NFL playoffs have turned into a fast-moving storyline full of surprises. Teams that looked ordinary in November suddenly feel dangerous in January. Others that once seemed unstoppable now face real doubts. The post 2025-26 Playoffs: Teams Driving the Biggest Super Bowl Moneyline Shifts first appeared on Sports Then and Now .
TCU welcome back significant game experience at linebacker in 2025. Despite losing a multi-year starter and an All-Big 12 player in Johnny Hodges, the Horned Frogs returned veterans Kaleb Elarms-Orr and Namdi Obiazor. Obiazor, who earned an additional year of eligibility after the Diego Pavia lawsuit, which allowed former JUCO athletes to gain extra time, […]
Real Madrid hope to reactivate talks to renew Vinicius Jr. during January, but according to Cadena SER, the situation remains largely unchanged despite Xabi Alonso’s departure. While the club believes negotiations may now be easier, Vinicius continues to seek a salary of around €30 million net per season, in line with Kylian Mbappe. Speaking on […]
Shed a tear, with the Conference Championships this Sunday, we only have three football games left and two weekends of the NFL playoffs before we embark on the long offseason. Granted, that is when the news surrounding the Las Vegas Raiders gets interesting, but we also only have a handful of opportunities to close out […]
The Bears’ season ended in heartbreak Sunday night, but the stage couldn’t have been any bigger. According to numbers released by NBC Sports , the Chicago Bears’ divisional-round loss to the Los Angeles Rams delivered the most-watched NFL Divisional Playoff game in NBC Sports history, averaging 45.4 million viewers across NBC, Peacock, NBC Sports Digital platforms, and NFL Digital properties. The thriller at Soldier Field only grew in audience as the night went on. Viewership increas...
The Edmonton Oilers have played 23 home games this season. They’ve won 12 and are only 12-7-4 and have outscored teams 83-74. In the three previous seasons, the Oilers had the eighth most home wins in the NHL and were three back of the fifth most. They have been a very good to dominant team…
The Athletic’s Chris Waugh has reported that Newcastle’s January transfer window has been quiet by design rather than neglect, with the club weighing caution against need as PSR continues to shape decision-making. Waugh placed Newcastle’s situation in the wider Premier League context. “It has been a very quiet January window in general, a few low-key […]
Newcastle United are awaiting clarity on the severity of Bruno Guimaraes’ ankle injury after the midfielder limped off during Wednesday’s Champions League win over PSV, according to a report by Daily Mail’s Craig Hope. Hope reported that Newcastle are “still sweating on the severity of the ankle injury suffered by Bruno Guimaraes during the 3-0 […]
And then, there were four. With the Divisional Round in the rearview, we have just four teams left in the NFL’s tournament to see who gets to play in Super Bowl LX on Sunday, February 8. The NFC Championship game is a particularly interesting pier-sixer in that it has two teams that have already faced […]
The latest Bears Banter podcast has dropped! There is so much to celebrate after the Chicago Bears went 11-6 in Ben Johnson’s first year as the Chicago Bears head coach, as they won the NFC North, beat the Green Bay Packers 2 out of 3 times, and won their first playoff game in a decade […]

Just after I wrote that a MacKenzie Gore trade seemed unlikely, Paul Toboni pulled the trigger. He sent Gore to the Texas Rangers for a five prospect haul. While the Nats did not get Sebastian Walcott, they got five quality pieces from Texas. The return consists of SS/3B Gavin Fien, RHP Alejandro Rosario, 2B Devin […]
We’re now less than three weeks from pitchers and catchers reporting to Salt River Fields, and it feels like the D-backs’ off-season remains a work in progress. With all respect to Taylor Clarke, the bullpen has barely been touched. We don’t know who will be replacing Lourdes Gurriel in left field on Opening Day. Arizona […]
I do not get the impression that Tyson Lewis will be the #8 prospect in the Cincinnati Reds system this time next year. The freshly minted 20 year old spent his age-19 season split between the Arizona Complex League and with the Daytona Tortugas in A-ball down in the Florida State League, turning heads with […]

The Wisconsin Badgers had quite the roster transformation over the past few weeks, as they look ahead to the 2026 season. While a number of players departed in the transfer portal, there were several others who were seniors who will look to play professionally. A big part of that in the pre-draft process is getting […]
I’m not normally the kind of guy who advocates that a team prioritize position over player — except when it comes to our Chicago Bulls’ current “brain” “trust” (I don’t remember who first made that joke, probably our guys at BlogABull ) of president Arturas Karnisovas and GM Marc Eversley. It seems like nearly every darn year, they draft a raw, athletic forward. Happily, 2024 first-round pick Matas Buzelis is looking like a true-blue keeper. And I do have to concede that one of the few ti...
The WNBA’s decision to release the 2026 schedule is puzzling. Yes, knowing the schedule does allow teams to begin to take care of logistics, namely arena availability and travel plans. It also will give broadcast partners similar clarity. Yet, the move can also be interpreted as one full of presumption and pressure. The league is […]
