Happy Monday Husky fans. I got a chance to catch up with 4 star quarterback Sione Kaho yesterday to talk about where he is at in his recruitment and interest in UW. The Huskies have extended several offers to quarterbacks in the 2027 class, but Kaho appears to be at the top of the board. […]
The Bears fall 42-38 to the 49ers in a nationally televised instant classic , and the crew breaks it all down on the Bleacher Nation Bears Podcast, presented by Obvious Shirts .
Hosts Patrick Flowers, Matt Rooney, and Luis Medina react to a game that felt like a full-blown track meet — one that ended with the ball in Caleb Williams’ hands at the 2-yard line, one play deciding everything. It’s the exact scenario Bears fans have imagined for decades, and even in defeat, it felt like a defi...
Bowls ATS: 9-14 (8-11 National, 1-4 B1G – 4 games pending) Season ATS: 141-128 (73-67 National, 68-61 B1G) The first few games after Christmas were brutal, as I lost the first five games played against the spread. The hardest to stomach was the Rate Bowl where New Mexico lost by three points in overtime when […]
The halfway mark approaches with haste
There were no blockbuster moves made by the Nationals this past week, but there were a couple interesting news items I wanted to discuss. With the holiday season, the MLB offseason has slowed to a crawl this week. However, there was still some movement and fun things to take a look at. The most noteworthy […]
The Day After the Day After…when the raw, immediate emotions from the aftermath of a game diminish into the realm of clarity and the proverbial (or literal) hangover no longer haunts the mind. With that, a review of Week 17: The totality of Special Teams decides games, if not seasons: In match-ups between teams with […]
Both the men’s and women’s basketball teams for Washington State picked up wins in the conference openers on Sunday. In Pullman, the women’s team took down the Pepperdine Waves 66-63 to claim their second win of the season, while the men’s squad escaped the Portland Pilots 67-62. The non-conference slate hasn’t been kind to either […]
The Edmonton Oilers are getting healthier, and that means their depth, particularly at forward, has gotten deeper. But in direct inverse correlation with how healthy the team is getting, Andrew Mangiapane's role has gotten more and more 'unhealthy', playing-time-wise. Elliotte Friedman tells us on the 32 Thoughts podcast that that could mean that Mangiapane's days with the team are numbered. He says that a trade is beginning to sound good to both player and club. I do think both sides wo...
No. 1-seed Indiana got some good news ahead of the Rose Bowl. Junior wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr., the Hoosiers’ leader in receiving yards this season, is expected to be available for the Rose Bowl Game against No. 9-seed Alabama, per reporting from ESPN’s Pete Thamel. He left the Big Ten Championship game win over […]
Caleb Williams almost pulled another rabbit out of his hat in Week 17. And while it could be easy to point fingers or play the woulda, coulda, shoulda game with the final play of the Week 17 thriller between the Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football, it was Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson who pointed the finger inward when discussing what happened on that fateful play.
“We didn’t quite get aligned in the formation we wanted to,” Johnson said via the Bears’ official w...
Throughout recent years, Lakers fans have learned to keep at least a little bit of attention on South Bay throughout the season. In some cases, it’s to watch a player like Bronny James develop in his time with the team. Other times, it was to see potential undrafted gems develop into potential role players for […]

It’s never easy to search for bright spots following a disappointing Buffalo Bills loss — especially when the team fails to convert a two-point conversion that would have won the game. But in an effort to search for the positive, there was certainly one player who stood out above the rest, that being newly acquired […]
The Miami Hurricanes enter ACC play with a tidal wave of momentum. They are 11-2 and have recorded wins against Georgetown and Ole Miss on the road. They have beaten all the opponents they were expected to beat. Their two losses have come against No. 22 Florida and No. 10 BYU. Both defeats were competitive […]
Which Chicago Bulls are the “real” Chicago Bulls?
On the one hand, Chicago has already put together a pair of five-game win streaks thanks to the second-fastest pace in the league (103.6) and a pass-happy pace-and-space offensive attack (their 29.5 assists per game rank fifth).
On the other hand, the Bulls’ defense has been… porous. At its worst, Chicago has posted a seven-game losing skid that threatened to derail its season, falling to several lottery teams. Chicago’s 122.0 opponen...
If the Brooklyn Nets beat the Golden State Warriors Monday night, with or without Steph Curry flashing shots from half court or beyond, the Nets will have won eight games out of 10 in December and likely secured their reputation as one of the NBA’s best defensive teams. Going into the 7:30 p.m. ET contest […]

Bill Guerin looked exhausted but delighted after trading for Quinn Hughes in mid-December. A call to his old boss, Jim Rutherford, had resulted in an opportunity to land the NHL’s second-best defenseman.
It was nearly a perfect trade. The Minnesota Wild needed a scoring boost, and Hughes break...
The Penguins have made a trade to add forward Yegor Chinakhov from Columbus for Danton Heinen and two future draft picks. Along with Heinen, the Penguins sent a 2026 second-round pick that originally belonged to the Blues and a 2027 third-round pick that originally belonged to the Capitals. The Penguins have built up a sizeable […]
There is a contract extension that is at the forefront of just about everybody’s mind right now and that involves Kenan Yildiz. We have known for months that Juventus want to lock him down to an even longer deal than he currently is signed to, with a salary boost that is reflective of what a […]
It was fitting that, in a season defined by the 49ers’ ability to overcome injury adversity, they were forced to produce one of their best offensive performances of the season in a must-win game without two of their most important players on that side of the ball. On paper, losing Trent Williams to a hamstring […]
Shane Steichen back next year or not? Has Carlie Irsay-Gordon spoken to him?
Even though the Blackhawks played back-to-back days coming out of the Christmas break, they still practices on Monday. And… there was a lot going on.
Some good news right out of the gate: Connor Bedard was on the ice before the rest of his teammates. He did not shoot the puck, but was skating and doing some puck handling stuff. Blackhawks head coach Jeff Blashill said there is no change to Bedard’s timeline; he’ll still be evaluated after the calendar flips to 2026. But he was on the ice ...
Does the period between Christmas and New Year’s Eve really exist? What day is it? Do I have work today? Is Penn State basketball really playing at 1 p.m. right now? Well, it seemed like the Nittany Lions didn’t know they had a game, either. Penn State came out to such a sleepy and sloppy […]
