On Monday, Tom and I asked your thoughts about the Jays’ most exciting and most concerning moves (or non-moves) of the winter. Now, how do you think they did overall?I’m sure the vibes would have been better on this question 48 hours ago, before we knew that Anthony Santander was out for most of the […]

Despite Danny Briere and Rick Tocchet’s comments on how this is a ‘young team’, the Flyers’ reluctance to consistently play their young prospects shows that they might be more focused on short-term stability than long-term growth.
The Philadelphia Flyers have undoubtedly been struggling — losing 12 of their last 15 — and during a skid like this, you’d expect the young guys to be getting heavy minutes, right? Well, that hasn’t been the case.
The kids aren’t alright

The NBA’s All-Star weekend is an opportunity for the league to showcase its talent. The main event is the All-Star Game, but the 3-point Contest, Rising Stars Game, and the Slam Dunk Contest are also important fixtures of the festivities. For any NBA player, being involved in the weekend is an honor, but for Jaxson […]
There’s strength in numbers. For the Czech men’s hockey team, that strength is their netminders, not the slim pool of players from which they select them. Their first big test will be taking on the powerhouse Canadian team Thursday morning. To do what Dominik Hašek and Jaromir Jagr did in 1998, shock the world and…
The Atlanta Braves got some more bad news when it was discovered that Spencer Schwellenbach will need arthroscopic surgery on his right elbow. This leads to wondering what the way forward.

Cubs President of Baseball Operations Jed Hoyer and General Manager Carter Hawkins met with media in Mesa, Arizona Wednesday, which was also the day that Cubs pitchers and catchers officially reported for Spring Training at the Sloan Park complex, though many players have been in camp already for a couple of weeks. There wasn’t any […]
It has been 469 days since we last saw Gerrit Cole on an MLB mound, and it won’t be that much longer before the Yankees’ ace makes his triumphant return. After missing an entire season to Tommy John surgery, it is uncertain whether we can still consider him to be the Yankees’ ace, but there […]

There is, I suspect, very little doubt about the top and bottom of the division. The Dodgers are prohibitive favorites – around 7-1 on at the sports books – to win the NL West for the thirteenth time in the past fourteen years, as well as the fifth season in a row. At the other […]
Most readers here love the game of baseball and love our Royals, but there are some seasons that truly test us. The hitters can’t hit, the pitchers can’t throw strikes, the ball gets kicked around the field, and the losses pile up. By June, you already have an eye towards Chiefs training camp. You’re a […]
In 2021, the Cleveland Cavaliers were part of a three-team trade involving James Harden and Jarrett Allen. At the time, it was seen as savvy to get in on a trade where the Brooklyn Nets needed to offload Allen to take on Harden. It feels almost surreal that a half-decade later, Allen and Harden are […]
With the Super Bowl in the rearview and the new league year just a few short weeks away, it’s time to turn the page and start thinking about the Falcons’ 2026 season and what needs to happen this offseason to field a competitive team in September.

The whiplash from the surprise of the Justin Verlander signing, to the images of the franchise’s greatest pitcher working out in his old haunts alongside Tarik Skubal, Jack Flaherty, and Framber Valdez on Wednesday, made from some fine visual storytelling.

Winning is contagious. From ranked wins and tight conference battles to spring sports getting underway and football news off the field, it was a packed week across the Banks — with an even busier slate ahead. Here’s a clean look at what happened over the past week and what’s coming up next for Rutgers. Wrestling […]
The 2026 NBA Trade Deadline passed last week with barely a blip from the Portland Trail Blazers. They picked up guard Vit Krejci from the Atlanta Hawks before the big day, then remained quiet during the proceedings. Overall, we were fine with their incremental approach, but a few Blazer’s Edge Readers were less so, particularly […]

Right around this time last year, Jaden Akins, Jase Richardson, and the Michigan State Spartans were gearing up for a dominant seven game win streak to close out conference play and secure the Big Ten Title by three whole games. While this season’s push for the B1G Regular Season Championship is far from over, it’s […]
When all was said and done, Thomas Frank just couldn’t get the supertanker turned around fast enough.

Frank lasted just eight months in the role, as he proved to be no better than his predecessor, […]

After competitive losses to UCLA and Iowa teams that are more “good” than “great,” the Huskies have run to the end of their leash and have no more room for error if they want to keep any postseason dreams alive. Since they have hung with so many of the nation’s top teams, UW remains #44 […]
