2025’s second game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Chargers could represent a fork in the road for each franchise. One is trying to keep the magic of its current dynasty alive. The other is chasing a second playoff appearance in two years under head coach Jim Harbaugh. This season may ultimately […]
The Penguins made some roster moves on Friday ahead of a big weekend. Defenseman Harrison Brunicke, as expected, is going to play for Team Canada at World Juniors in Minnesota. Depending on how the team does, this could keep him away from the pro club until early January. Brunicke has not played in the NHL […]
Following a mixed bag of three consecutive away matches, Atlético de Madrid return home to the Metropolitano to square off against Valencia in a 2 p.m. kickoff on Saturday. Atlético (9-4-3, 31 points) return to the capital after a gritty midweek Champions League victory, and the Rojiblancos to regain their league form following back-to-back away […]
Happy Friday, everyone. Based on the below, it’s clear that nobody told Ben Flanagan that Gump Day falls on a Wednesday. Indiana undefeated? They struggled against Ohio State! And that was 12 games after the Buckeyes eked out a close one to a talented but flawed Texas team in the season opener. Alabama already beat […]
After a brief break, we’re back. The Brooklyn Nets have been off for the past few days after beating the New Orleans Pelicans at home on December 6th. The opponent tonight is in a new era, in more ways than one. It’s been… a year for the Dallas Mavericks, but maybe things are starting to […]
The Anaheim Ducks are tied for first place in the Pacific Division, and veteran center Ryan Strome is having a very difficult time reclaiming his spot in the lineup. Insider Elliotte Friedman notes that the career-long middle-six center will find himself on the radar in the trade market. Those looking for a middleman are keeping a closer watch on Anaheim’s Ryan Strome . Delayed start to the season, in-and-out of the lineup. Ducks surging, is there a spot for him? If not, there will be in...

The other day, I had a question I was wondering about: How often does a team that’s .500 or worse in December manage to still make the playoffs? And I was surprised by what turned out to be the answer: All the time. No, literally, it happens every season. Going back to the 2013 lockout (and excluding the COVID season that didn’t start until January), at least one team that was .500 or worse in December has made the playoffs each and every season:

While Jake Paul is currently slated to face a former unified heavyweight world champion in Anthony Joshua on Dec. 19, streaming live on Netflix, most believe it’s an unwinnable matchup for Paul (if the fight isn’t completely contrived). Paul, however, feels good about his chances against Joshua. There are however, a few names in the […]
Good morning! Alex Bregman opted out of the final two years of his $120 million deal because, presumably, he thought he could get more money elsewhere. So you have to wonder if he’s getting a little antsy given the recent report that Bregman’s agent, Scott Boras, recently approached the Seattle Mariners to “express Bregman’s willingness […]
As some of you know, our youngest is disabled. So many simple things that the rest of us take for granted are incredibly difficult for her. But, man, she absolutely blew it out at her school’s holiday concert yesterday, and I was smile-crying the entire time. With some help, she was able to stand up there on stage for most of the performance, doing the choreography, clapping for her peers, and really putting in the effort that I know was 10x harder for her than it would be for a typical kiddo....
After laying an egg for 40 minutes against Buffalo and costing themselves the chance at a second point, the Edmonton Oilers were back in action for a rematch against the Detroit Red Wings. The Wings took the first game 4-2 back in October, and there was no better time than a frosty Thursday night in…
Four games in, what's been smooth sailing and what's been rocky seas for the Boston Fleet?
Through 31 games in the 2025-26 season, it hasn’t all been sunshine and rainbows for the Edmonton Oilers. They occupy the top Wild Card spot with a 14-11-6 record and 34 points. It’s as if they turned a corner, but then they had a rough game on Tuesday against the Buffalo Sabres, needing a third-period…
After sorting through and writing about the Fangraphs prospect update in recent weeks, I got to wondering about some players who weren’t on this list of prospects and who might find themselves on it after the next update. Who in the system is not on a prospect list NOW but could well be by this […]
The Kroenke Sports & Entertainment large-scale redevelopment plan of the area surrounding Ball Arena has yet to come to fruition but preparations are still moving forward, even if at a glacial pace. The newest leak of information hints at changes coming to Ball Arena itself. In a report published by the Denver Business Journal in […]
After four straight games that were tests of various degrees, North Carolina are now set to play a fairly straight-forward one. On Saturday, the Tar Heels are set to welcome USC Upstate to Chapel Hill, as Carolina looks for a third consecutive win. The Spartans, from the Big South Conference, come into this matchup with […]
If anyone reading this knows of my recent writings to start the season, I was not the biggest Jaylon Tyson supporter. Phrases like “I’m out” and “I don’t see it” may have been uttered, but hey, nothing lasts forever on the internet, right? Anyhow, safe to say confidence in my ability to gauge the capabilities […]
Baseball’s offseason, just like its regular season, is a marathon not a sprint. But there are some checkpoints along the way that spur action, and one such checkpoint is the Winter Meetings. It’s usually the first time of the offseason when action really picks up, and this year has been no different. With the meetings […]
The Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams face off in yet another critical NFC matchup. The Rams are fighting for the No. 1 seed in the conference, while Detroit is scrambling to just get into the postseason. While the Lions need this game more, the Rams have been playing better football recently. But is the […]
Early in the season, the Steelers’ Week 15 Monday Night Football matchup versus the Dolphins looked like an easy-to-predict win for Pittsburgh. Miami started the year 1-6, and would be playing in the cold, on the road against a Steelers team that historically does very well on MNF. But since then, Miami has morphed into […]
Happy Friday, folks! The Bruins extended their winning streak to four games last night, defeating the Jets in Winnipeg by a score of 6-3. Highlights from that game included: The power play was an asset for the Bruins on Thursday night, as they went 2-for-2 on the evening. You can check out the full highlights […]
Not much went right for Dallas in Week 14, but the Eagles stopped the bleeding with their Monday night loss to the Chargers. With the Cowboys’ best shot at making the playoffs now clearly in their own division, it’s more important than ever that we dive into the goings on of the NFC East. Philly’s […]
The Green Bay Packers’ offense was mired in quite a slump just a few weeks ago. Even with tight end Tucker Kraft on the field, the unit was not playing up to its potential. Kraft was the team’s YAC machine, picking up chunks of yardage after the catch to spark some big plays. But one […]
