The Week Ahead for Atlanta: Another showdown looms large for the Braves

It’s out of the frying pan and into the fire for the Atlanta Braves. Despite today being an off-day, they’ll have little time to come down from their big statement series-win in Los Angeles against the Dodgers. They’ll be coming home to welcome in the high-flying Cubs who have also gotten off to a very […]

Ahead of Monday’s game against Minnesota, Craig Berube discussed Matthew Knies’ injury, Scott Laughton’s ability to elevate in the lineup, William Nylander and Anthony Stolarz’s status, and the upcoming five-game homestand.

Flashback: A Conversation With Wilbur Wood

He is a member of a very select fraternity. It’s a fraternity that goes beyond the usual small fraternity of former major league baseball players. It’s so small that you can count the members on both hands, if that. That fraternity is composed of former pitchers who excelled as both starter and relievers. Think about […]

John Tavares on Scott Laughton taunting a Jets fan in Winnipeg: “It’s hard to look at him with a straight face… He’s a funny dude who competes like hell… We love him in here”

Ahead of Monday’s game against Minnesota, John Tavares discussed Scott Laughton’s “glue guy” characteristics, the red-hot play of Auston Matthews, and the challenge of a condensed schedule ahead of the Olympic break. What kind of chemistry do you think there will be between you and Scott Laughton on the same line tonight? Tavares: We always […] The post John Tavares on Scott Laughton taunting a Jets fan in Winnipeg: “It’s hard to look at him with a straight face… He’s a funny dude who compet...

Wild's Injuries Require Kaprizov To Return To MVP Form

The Minnesota Wild are back on their "Everyone Is Injured" bulls*** again. After a plague of devastating injuries in the 2024-25 season, the Wild managed to get through about half the season relatively unscathed. But the specter of missed time comes for everyone, eventually, and it's Minnesota's tur...

3 big questions ahead of Celtics-Pistons

Can Boston cut into Detroit’s lead?  At the start of the season, most fans expected Boston to be middle of the pack due to Jayson Tatum’s injury and the offseason losses of Kristaps Porzingis, Luke Kornet, Al Horford and Jrue Holiday. Instead, through 41 games, Boston sits second in the Eastern Conference, 4.5 games behind […]

Flames' Nazem Kadri Trade Linked to 2 Teams

The Calgary Flames have pulled off one blockbuster trade already this season, moving defenceman Rasmus Andersson to the Vegas Golden Knights, and now, their attention has reportedly turned to veteran center Nazem Kadri. Kadri's been in the trade rumor mill early on this season once the Flames were struggling and completely out of the playoff picture. The former Stanley Cup champion is signed through the 2028-29 season at $7 million AAV, and owns a 13-team no-trade clause. TSN's Darren Dreger r...

Latest PFF mock draft has Chiefs drafting ‘favorite’ to win OROY

There are over three months until the 2026 NFL Draft, but with the Kansas City Chiefs’ offseason underway, it’s time to consider what draft prospects the Chiefs could select with the ninth overall pick. On Sunday, Pro Football Focus analyst Gordon McGuinness published a first-round mock draft that had two popular names for the Chiefs’ pick […]

3 areas where the 49ers proved they were flawed in the playoffs

The San Francisco 49ers’ 35-point defeat was the second-largest margin in a playoff game in franchise history. After the game, head coach Kyle Shanahan said, “It’s a loss, but definitely don’t make more of it than it was. It was a loss.” That’s an impressive perspective to have after walking off the field to a […]

Seahawks tackle Charles Cross is ‘day-to-day’ ahead of NFC Championship game

Zach Charbonnet’s season-ending knee injury was a huge bummer for the Seattle Seahawks ahead of the NFC Championship game. However, that was not the only injury news for Seattle. Head coach Mike Macdonald also called starting left tackle Charles Cross “day-to-day” with a foot injury. Cross started the Divisional Game against the San Francisco 49ers […]

Lions hire offensive coordinator Drew Petzing

One of the first coordinators to be hired this cycle was not a particularly hot name on the market. Everyone and their mother wants former Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel to call offensive plays for their team next year, but that enthusiasm never built around Drew Petzing, who, like head coach Jonathan Gannon, was […]

Rutgers Basketball Set For Tuesday Night Matchup At Iowa

After suffering a loss against Wisconsin during the first game of their two-game road trip, Rutgers will head to Iowa City with the hopes of knocking off the Hawkeyes. The Scarlet Knights finished their game against the Badgers on a strong note and will look to continue that momentum against Iowa. The Hawkeyes, who were […]

2026 NBA All-Star Starters Announced

Amidst a special triple-header Martin Luther King Jr. Day slate of national games on NBC/Peacock, the NBA’s 10 All-Star starters for next month were announced. And no, injured Chicago Bulls point guard Josh Giddey — the Bulls’ best player this year — did not make the cut. After missing 10 straight games for Chicago with a hamstring strain, there’s a decent chance Giddey won’t be named an All-Star reserve this year, either. He’s been enjoying a breakout run, averaging a near-triple-double ...

Who Will the Next Trail Blazers Coach Be?

The Portland Trail Blazers have finally regained a .500 record, standing at 22-22 after 44 games of their 2025-26 regular season. This is more or less in line with their preseason expectations, fighting for a spot in the Play-In Tournament for the 2026 NBA Playoffs. Winning 3 in a row and 10 of their last […]

REPORT: Cubs “In Play” for Free Agent Miguel Andujar

As 2026 continues to look more and more like an “all-in” season for the Chicago Cubs, we cannot discount the possibility of more additions to the 2026 roster this offseason. Logically, of course, that makes sense. But even more reassuringly, both President Jed Hoyer and GM Carter Hawkins have indicated as much, even suggesting that – for once – paying the luxury tax isn’t a concern or impediment to any moves they may want to make before Opening Day. But when you look around the diamond/ro...

What’s the Difference Between a Sportsbook and Prediction Market?

You have probably seen two similar but very different ways to express an opinion with money on the line. One is a sportsbook. The other is a prediction market. At a glance, they can look alike. You pick an outcome. You risk money. You get paid if you are right. But the structure, incentives, and rules behind each are very different. If you want to decide which fits your goals, your risk tolerance, and your style of decision making, you need to understand how they actually work. This ...

Utah Mammoth ‘Lurking’ For A Big Swing at Deadline

    There are teams that are always ready to take the 'big swing' on the trade front. We saw the Vegas Golden Knights hit their home run already this weekend by obtaining Rasmus Andersson from the Calgary Flames. Carolina is another team always ready to go big game hunting. Dallas, even San Jose now, are others. But don't count out the NHL's newest ownership group: the Utah Mammoth.  David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period told Jeff Marek on The Sheet that he expects Utah to be "agg...
