The Green Bay Packers released their final injury report of the week ahead of Saturday’s Wild Card Round matchup against the Chicago Bears, and while Green Bay avoided any surprise outs, there’s enough uncertainty to matter. Up front, the biggest name to watch is right tackle Zach Tom (back/knee). Tom was limited early in the week before being held out of Thursday’s practice and is officially questionable. That’s notable against a Bears front that has leaned more aggressively on pressure ...
Atlético Madrid fell to Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup once more. Los Blancos came out 2-1 winners in Saudi Arabia, thanks to a thunderbolt freekick from Federico Valverde after two minutes, and a Rodrygo Goes finish after half time. Alexander Sørloth pulled one back for Los Colchoneros, but it was too little too […]
Now that the Cubs have finally added their (potential) impact starting pitcher in Edward Cabrera, the obvious question emerges: What’s next for Jed Hoyer and the Cubs? Seeing as the rotation is deep, the bullpen has been (mostly) remade, Owen Caissie was dealt, and Cabrera is set to earn only ~$3.7M in 2026, an even more obvious answer emerges: GO SPEND SOME MONEY ON A BAT. In an article at The Athletic earlier this morning (and then later on his podcast), Ken Rosenthal put the same ...

The Hockey Show , Canada's only campus-produced radio show that strictly talks hockey, is back tonight to do a full autopsy on the results of the World Junior Championship that recently wrapped up in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota.

In a turn of events, the Wisconsin Badgers are getting freshman wide receiver Eugene Hilton back after he initially announced his intentions to enter the transfer portal. Hilton, a four-star recruit from Indiana in the Class of 2025, was one of Wisconsin’s biggest adds at the position in recent years. He played in all 12 […]
The Green Bay Packers have officially announced that the following players will be questionable going into this weekend’s playoff action against the Chicago Bears: quarterback Malik Willis (shoulder/hamstring), receiver Dontayvion Wicks (concussion), right tackle Zach Tom (back/knee), defensive tackle Warren Brinson (foot), linebacker Nick Niemann (pectoral) and safety Javon Bullard (knee). Earlier this week, LaFleur […]
After not practicing on Wednesday, San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams was on hand during Thursday’s session. Williams hasn’t played since the first snap of Week 17 when he injured his hamstring. After getting nearly two weeks of rest, it’s a good sign that Williams is testing out his injury, especially after Kyle Shanahan […]
The Steelers’ Thursday injury report showed that the team is largely healthy ahead of a Wild Card matchup against the Houston Texans on Monday night. Pittsburgh running back Jaylen Warren was the team’s only non-participant with an illness designation. Veteran Cam Heyward was limited, but he had a rest designation. The rest of the team […]

The season might be over, but the Atlanta Falcons winning continues. Rookie OLB James Pearce Jr. has won the NFC Defensive Rookie of the Month award, and he couldn’t be more deserving.

If the last 24 NFL seasons are any indication, anything is possible for a team that won only seven games the previous season. Well, almost anything. The historical record tells us that between 2002 (when the league moved to the current divisional alignment), 87 teams finished their season with seven wins. Here’s a topline view […]

The two franchises have met in the postseason only twice. The most recent was the 2011 NFC Championship Game at Soldier Field, a January afternoon that still lingers painfully in Chicago’s memory. Green Bay raced to an early lead, the Bears’ defense clawed them back into it, but the offense never fully recovered after Jay Cut...
