The Chicago Bears ran the ball about 45% of the time in 2025, ranking 11th in the NFL, up from 25th the year prior (40%). Chicago also increased its rushing yards from 1,734 two years ago (25th) to the 3rd most in the NFL (2,456) in Ben Johnson’s first year. Much of that running in […]
The Buffalo Bills need to open up salary cap space before the 2026 league year kicks off in March. There are some big levers they can pull like restructuring the contracts of several big name players. They can also cut some veterans to recoup some investment. The one I want to look at today is […]
The quarterfinal matchups are set for the Olympics.
The 2026 World Baseball Classic is slated to begin in less than a month, as Team Japan will look to repeat as champions and capture their world-best third title.

Major League Baseball has revealed the broadcast schedule for this year’s World Baseball Classic and things are pretty simple when it comes to figuring out which […]
I feel for Bulls fans. Celtics are so lucky to have Brad and Joe at the top. I get that having a bad record is good to get a lottery pick but tanking just feels wrong to me. I'm so glad that the Celtics didn't buy into that "gap year" talk before the season. The comment about Reinsdorf keeping the team mid so he doesn't call attention to himself cracked me up. I like what I have seen from Vuc so far. My favorites are in bold. What ar...

Hockey is more than a sport in Minnesota; it is a language the state speaks all winter long. That lifelong connection is on full display for the world, given how well represented Minnesota is on the 2026 U.S. men’s Olympic hockey team. Minnesota has embraced the “State of Hockey” identity for d...
Every February, there’s some quiet time in the NFL calendar…but there is still plenty going on behind the scenes on the business side of things. This week, per Spotrac, four members of the Buffalo Bills officially saw future money become fully guaranteed. Let’s unpack what it means. WR Khalil Shakir Shakir’s $11.9 million base salary for 2026 […]
The Las Vegas Raiders have a new head coach in Klint Kubiak, who has the fan base excited. He has helped lead the Seattle Seahawks to the Super Bowl for their fourth time in franchise history, leading the offense that finished third in points per game.

Eagles Question of the Day: Would you change who the Eagles picked in the first two rounds of the 2025 NFL Draft? If so, who did you realistically want at the time instead? Head over to The Feed and weigh in with your answer and explanation! Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles news and links […]
Commanders links Articles Bullock’s Film Room (subscription) Commanders Free Agent Fits: Cornerback High Profile: Nahshon Wright, Bears, 27. It feels a bit strange to put Wright’s name in the high profile category given this time last year, most casual NFL fans wouldn’t have known who he was. He is a long, rangy cornerback, listed at […]
Hey, the Sixers only lost by 49 points on Wednesday night! What a way to cruise into the All-Star break! Before this weekend’s festivities, I’m here to hit you with the latest edition of my “5 Sixers thoughts” column. Let’s get after it… The Sixers sure could use Jared McCain and Isaiah Joe right now… […]
When the Pittsburgh Penguins return from the 2026 Olympic break, they will have five games before the 2025-26 NHL Trade Deadline. Given where they are in the standings, and the way they have played for the better part of the past two months, the Penguins seem to have positioned themselves as potential buyers, or at […]
If the Ohio State Buckeyes needed another proof point for WRU in the NFL era, Jaxon Smith-Njigba just handed them one. In early February, he didn’t merely become another former Buckeye receiver thriving on Sundays. He became the headline, the league’s Offensive Player of the Year. Smith-Njigba posted a dominant regular season where he led […]
It was a tough weekend for the Edmonton Oilers’ AHL affiliate Bakersfield Condors as they dropped both games in the home-and-home to the Ontario Reign in regulation. Leaving the weekend without a point gives the Reign an eight-point swing in a tight Pacific Division race. Before the weekend started, the Condors were sitting at 55…
From Jason Robertson’s shocking omission to Bill Guerin’s “right players” philosophy, the Banter crew unloads on Team USA’s controversial Olympic roster.
When No. 1 and No. 2 in a sport play each other, it’s always a noteworthy occasion. At the very least, it’s a chance to see the perceived best in the sport go head-to-head in a battle for in-the-moment supremacy. But it can also be something more, as you never know when a top-ranked matchup […]
I remember this press conference vividly as I had it streaming live in the background while writing my postgame recap for the Seattle Seahawks’ 21-19 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Once I heard Ernest drop the first “F Bomb”, I did a double-take. After the second one, I was grinning from ear-to-ear and backed […]
Over in Japan’s NPB, every team has a new slogan for the season. The slogans set out the team’s hopes, goals, and attitude. They hype the fans up. They’re fun. Thanks to the nature of the Japanese language, there’s also fun tricks to be had with the slogans, too: for example, the Fukuoka SoftBank Hawks […]
It depends on who you ask. Everyone around here has an opinion on the Dallas Cowboys and everything that goes on with them, and given that we are at a time of year where there are a lot of questions that means that there are all sorts of answers. Today’s question is simple: What is […]
The highs and lows of college basketball can come and go very quickly. Unfortunately for the Hubert Davis-led Tar Heels over the past five seasons, the latter have come much too often. Just days after a thrilling victory over a one-loss Duke team, Carolina gave an uninspired effort in Miami to end their five-game winning […]
After perhaps one of the strangest seasons Nebraska baseball fans have ever witness, Will Bolt returns for his seventh turn as the head coach for the Nebraska Cornhuskers. After a long trip to the west coast early last season, the Big Red never seemed to find the consistency and success that most observers believed was possible […]
Pitchers and catchers have reported to Yankees spring training, with all position players soon to follow. This will be an especially interesting lead-up to Opening Day because 2026 camp happens to coincide with the World Baseball Classic, which is being held for the first time since 2023. Samurai Japan will be looking to defend their […]
North Dakota State football has been winning for more than a decade. To the surprise to most of the world-at-large, yes, the jump from FCS to the FBS level was a surprise. But being who and what the Bison are and have been, the remainder of the world was saying, “It’s about time to rise […]
