The big question entering March 6th’s NHL trade deadline is what will the Edmonton Oilers do? After making consecutive Stanley Cup Finals, the Oilers are looking to get over the hump in 2026. While the team isn’t perfect, starting the season slow once again, they’ve really come into their own since the end of November….
On a very chilly Thursday in Manitoba, the defending President’s Trophy winners will be hosting the defending Stanley Cup Champions. Yet the NHL’s 2025-26 campaign has looked much different for the two franchises. The Winnipeg Jets almost led the NHL from start to finish last year, while the Florida Panthers hung around the middle of the league before surging up to the 11th best record by the season’s end. Of course, the Cats then turned it up a notch as they ran the table all the way to anoth...

The moment that stuck with me from Ben Johnson’s season-ending press conference had nothing to do with scheme, game management, or even the sting of the playoff loss . It was simpler than that, and more revealing about where he believes the Chicago Bears are headed.
Catching the football.
Johnson made it clear Wednesday that his focus has already shifted to 2026. And when asked what needs to improve for the Bears’ offense to take the next step, he didn’t sidestep it, soften it, or dr...
The NFL Honors finalists have been revealed, and there is a significant Seattle Seahawks presence across eight Associated Press awards. Superstar wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is obviously a finalist for Offensive Player of the Year, although the inclusion of MVP contender Drake Maye could significantly hurt his chances of winning.

Many backup quarterbacks quietly drift off down the lazy river of free agency during the offseason, but not Malik Willis, who’s proven himself worthy of competing for starting reps somewhere. In fact, he’s become one of the more buzzed-about quarterback names on the market. After shining in spot duty with the Green Bay Packers these […]
When new owners stepped in to purchase the Rays, one of the lingering questions was how intwined those new owners would make their businesses with the Tampa Bay Rays.
