The most notable players to make moves so far are Virginia Tech’s Neoklis Avdalas, Pitt’s Brandin Cummings, and Georgia Tech’s Baye Ndongo, who seemed to regress this season. More are certain […]

The Seattle Seahawks cannot clinch the NFC West today, but they sure as hell can throw it away. It’s the penultimate week of the 2025 regular season. Seattle is 12-3 and is on the cusp of winning the division and the top seed, but the task is not easy. Yes, the Seahawks only need to […]
B.J. Ryan turns 50 today. Looking at his picture, I see that he looks like a former neighbour of mine, Scott. Off-topic, but I’m terrible with names. Around then, I used baseball players’ names to help me remember. Unfortunately, the player I picked for Scott was a former pitcher, Scott Terry, and I spent six […]
UPDATE: On Sunday morning, the Bears added wide receivers DJ Moore and Olamide Zaccheaus to the injury report with an illness. Whatever bug has been making its way through Halas Hall has claimed another victim. On Saturday, the Chicago Bears added starting right tackle Darnell Wright to the injury report as questionable with an illness. […]
Well, folks, we’re winding down the 2025 regular season in the National Football League, as there’s just one more week to go after this one. Our Minnesota Vikings have already gotten their game for this week out of the way, and that can only mean one thing. Yes, for the final time this year, it’s […]
After two months of dire results, Liverpool have slowly been chipping away at their points deficit over the past month.

The Washington Commanders hosted the Dallas Cowboys on Christmas day, and lost 30-23. The NFL had three games on their holiday slate, two games yesterday, and another 10 games on today’s full schedule. That’s a lot of stress-free football for Commanders fans to (tank) watch. Fox has four games, and most of the country will […]
With five Week 17 games in the books, and two nationally televised games still on the docket (“Sunday” and “Monday Night Football”), the regular Sunday slate of games is quite a bit smaller than most weeks in the NFL. Fortunately, there are a couple of meaningful games that will likely be available for you to […]
The Indianapolis Colts announced their inactives for Week 17’s home game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, with no real surprises: The Colts had already declared starting center Tanor Bortolini (concussion) and rookie backup defensive end JT Tuimoloau (oblique) out before the weekend, as well as downgraded right guard Dalton Tucker (shoulder) to out yesterday. Veteran backup […]
Athletics departments face a number of existential questions these days. Fortunately, none of them have to do with money. In this era of unlimited official and unofficial recruiting visits, football programs must confront one particularly essential matter: how many balloons is the right amount of balloons? I think everyone understands that, in order to be […]
To follow up the intro from Saturday’s BN Bears Bullets lead-in: My first pho experience was great. Tremendous. I’m sure I’ll like it more once I get the hang of using chop sticks. In case you missed it: The Chicago Bears are the 2025 NFC North champs ! And in doing so, they became the 20th team to put up a one-year worst-to-first turnaround in the last 23 years. Because I’m sure you’re curious, the Bears have done it three times (2005, 2018, 2025). More history: Did you know t...
Well…assuming you count Maryland and Oregon as “Big Ten”. I hope you’ve had a pleasant holiday season. It’s starting to snow sideways here in Minnesota, and I already did my Midwestern Dad duties for the day: shoveled and salted the church walk after realizing there was nobody to do it before the 10:30am Mass, then […]
Having been officially knocked out of playoff contention, the Indianapolis Colts (8-7) will host the division leading Jacksonville Jaguars (11-4)(-4.5) at 1 PM EST (FOX) with seemingly nothing left to play for, except for franchise pride.

Fresh off the snapping of a six-game losing streak, the Hawks are back home on Sunday night to host the Pittsburgh Penguins. Somehow, in the year 2025, a preview involving this Pittsburgh franchises still requires writing the names Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang, as all three remain key contributors for the team despite Crosby and Letang being 38 and Malkin being 39. Perhaps that reliance on older players — don’t forget about 35-year-old Erik Karlsson, either — also explains...

When Steelers wide receiver D.K. Metcalf was suspended for two games following an altercation with a fan in Detroit, CBS Sports reported that language in his contract voided a combined $45 million in guarantees over the next two years.

The injury bug largely spared the New England Patriots in the early parts of the season, but it decided to bite quite often as of late. A consequence is the team ruling out five starters for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets, and placing another on injured reserve beforehand. The absences naturally mean that […]
