Chicago Bears assistant coaches Al Harris and Declan Doyle are generating interest for coaching opportunities elsewhere. And while this is no surprise when you consider the successful season the Bears just had, it is something that also brings me mixed feelings. Because while I like the implications that come with other teams wanting to poach Ben Johnson’s coaching staff, I hate that Chicago’s football team is at risk of losing some key assistants.
Here is the news:
Packers interview...
Penn State has quickly found a replacement following the cancellation of the 2027 non-conference game with Delaware. Penn State will now host the Maine Black Bears in week two, set for September 11, 2027. This will mark the first meeting between Penn State and Maine on the football field. The Black Bears are coming off […]
Struggling in PL Leaving Surprise
A stretch of games against top-tier opponents for the Hawks begins on Thursday night in Raleigh against the Carolina Hurricanes.
In the last seven seasons, Carolina has typically resided near the top of the league standings and has made a trio of conference final appearances — but they haven’t been able to clear that last hurdle just yet. This season continues the regular-season portion of that trend, with the Hurricanes all alone atop the Metro with 66 points in 50 games (31-15-4), well ...
Chelsea beat Pafos 1-0 yesterday, in the UEFA Champions League, but the match brought a couple more injury concerns. There is yet another injury scare with Cole Palmer, who missed out entirely, with what is reportedly a thigh problem. However, it is not thought to be serious, with Blues boss Liam Rosenior saying it’s not […]

The Wisconsin Badgers head to the Bryce Jordan Center on Thursday for a matchup against the Penn State Nittany Lions that looks lopsided on paper but has been dangerous in years past. While Penn State sits near the bottom of the Big Ten, Bucky has struggled against subpar Nittany Lions teams in the recent past. […]
The first trade deadline is right around the corner as the Olympic break roster freeze is set for February 4th. Will the Lightning make a move before this deadline? Honestly, who knows? As usual, the Lightning are playing things close to the vest and there is no news leaking out of the Channelside offices. General Manager Julien BriseBois was as vague as usual during his mid-season check-in , downplaying the Lightning’s chances of being a big player on the trade market.
“So even if we’r...
The San Francisco 49ers took a different approach to free agency this past offseason, electing to shed veteran salaries and clear their books more, while also letting several players depart in free agency. In return, the 49ers didn’t make any major splash signing, with Luke Farrell’s three-year, $15.75 million contract being the biggest they handed […]
Controversial foul call sends Antelopes to home court win against previously undefeated Aztecs San Diego State attempted to defy odds in their attempt at a first win at Global Credit Union Arena in Phoenix.

Almost exactly four years after trading him to the Padres, the Twins agreed to a one year contract with left-handed reliever Taylor Rogers according to Aaron Gleeman of The Athletic. The pact will pay Rogers $2M in 2026. Rogers has been bouncing around National League contenders since leaving the Twin Cities. He split 2022 between […]
For those who have forgotten, in early December, Canadian Ryan Reynolds posted his now-annual video announcing the yearly fundraiser for Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto, which ran until Christmas 2025. The short video featured guest Freddie Freeman, who is also famously Canadian and is generally considered one of the nicest people in baseball. Freeman gets […]

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...

Brian Sorensen has declared his Everton Women squad are confident and hungry ahead of Friday’s WSL encounter against Brighton & Hove Albion at Goodison Park, but knows full well how tough the game against the Seagulls will be. Still searching for the first league win at the Grand Old Lady, the Blues have mounting injury […]
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. Perhaps that’s a consolation prize […]
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. Would Tropicana Field become Dream Home Finders Field (named for the managing partner Patrick Zalupski’s company)? Could the next new stadium? Time will tell, but the […]
The New England Patriots will be well represented at this year’s NFL Honors as they feature finalists for six awards in the 2025 Associated Press NFL Awards.

Manchester United has announced that Casemiro will leave the club at the conclusion of the 2025/26 season. The Brazilian midfielder has been a vital player for United since signing late in the Summer 2022 window and leaves a sizeable hole in an already lacking midfield group. The soon to be 34 year old joined the […]
Mohamed Salah returned to the lineup for Liverpool last night, in their 3-0 win over Marseille in the UEFA Champions League.
