ESPN ranks Steelers as No. 1 offseason in NFL

The Pittsburgh Steelers were one of the most active teams in the first wave of free agency, making several moves to bolster a roster that won the AFC North in 2025. They traded for wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr to finally solve the WR2 dilemma that has plagued their offense in each of their last […]

Liverpool 2, Brighton 0 – Match Recap: Just What the Doctor Ordered

LIVERPOOL 2 – 0 BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION Liverpool: Ekitiké 1’, 60’ Pre-Match Mohamed Salah is on the bench, so the chat seemingly went…okay. I find myself agreeing with just about everyone who made comments in The Guardian this week about this saga, effectively pointing out that Salah misjudged the mood and what would be most […]

Chelsea 2-0 Everton: Final | Not good enough from the Toffees

Live Blog Fulltime Thoughts – Everton are well-beaten at Chelsea 2-0. The Toffees have only themselves to blame as their Stamford Bridge curse lives on for another year. 90+4’ – Everton’s poor finishing once again coming back to haunt them as they lose once again at Stamford Bridge. Frustrating game to lose. There’s the final […]

Diego Simeone “not surprised” by veteran heroics as Atleti beat Valencia

Atlético Madrid had two club legends to thank for victory as captain Koke and record goalscorer Antoine Griezmann got on the scoresheet in a hard-fought 2-1 win over Valencia in La Liga. Asked whether he expected Griezmann and Koke to accept their diminishing roles, Simeone said “I’m not surprised because star players never cause problems. […]

Chelsea 2-0 Everton, Premier League: Post-match reaction, ratings

If we were looking for Chelsea to respond to Tuesday’s defeat, and the four-match unbeaten run, we would not have been too happy with the opening exchanges of this game. Neither side were putting a strong foot forward, though perhaps the visitors were posing a bit more danger, through the twinkling feet of Iliman Ndiaye […]

Celtics Film Round-Up: Weeks 6, 7, and 8

Boy, it’s been quite the hiatus. Like many others, I spent my holidays wondering when I could sneak away from the turkey to watch my hoops. I crammed and crammed to get up to speed on my Celtics games. For the first time, I found myself thankful for the Emirates NBA Cup, allowing me to […]

The Jordan Walsh breakout has been beautiful

The first two seasons of Jordan Walsh’s career were relatively forgettable from a, individual standpoint (at least he got a ring his rookie year). In the 61 games he appeared in, Walsh averaged 1.6 points and 1.5 rebounds while only playing 8 minutes per game. He shot 37% from the field and 27% on threes. […]

Overlapping Cubs-Mets Interests, Fairbanks Price Tag, and Other Cubs Bullets

The kids are collectively old enough now that it’s been a minute since I had to clean up a massive puke. I guess they just wanted to make sure I wasn’t rusty … On the one hand – fan attachment, mostly – I can understand why there is so much concern and frustration in New York about the Mets failing to re-sign Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz, and trading away Brandon Nimmo. They were at the heart of the team for a long time, and bringing in Marcus Semien and Jorge Polanco is not going to feel...

V̅DCCI On A Big Day

I found this Stuart Skinner facial expression funny and appropriate today for a number of reasons. I'll get to the reason for the title in a second, but the biggest reason was because the man making the facial expression was traded in what was being described as a "blockbuster" trade by pundits hours before an actual blockbuster trade happened. Perhaps we should stop throwing around hyperbole? At this point, everyone is asking why this trade was made, but I think we need to look deeper than th...

Watch all 39 points of Joel Embiid’s season-best performance vs. Pacers

The Philadelphia 76ers grabbed their 14th win of the season on Friday night, defeating the visiting Indiana Pacers 115-105, even with Tyrese Maxey sidelined due to illness. Even more encouraging than the victory itself was the sight of Joel Embiid’s best performance of the season by a fair margin — not only statistically so, but […]

Steelers QB target returning to school

It’s felt all but guaranteed that the Pittsburgh Steelers are aiming to take a quarterback in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Aaron Rodgers is 42, and publicly said he expects 2025 to be his final season. The only other two quarterbacks on the roster are Mason Rudolph and Will Howard. If and […]

New York Mets Reportedly Signing Jorge Polanco

Overpaying For Quinn Hughes Is Impossible

The State of Hockey wakes up on Saturday to the rumbling aftershocks of the Quinn Hughes trade. And in taking the temperature based on comments on Hockey Wilderness, elsewhere on the internet, and personal text messages, it seems one of those shocks is of the sticker variety. One can definitely...
