Lightning Morning News: J.J. Moser is heading home (for the World Championships)

Yesterday, we talked about Declan Carlile making the U.S. squad that is heading to the IIHF Men’s Ice Hockey World Championship, and today it’s J.J. Moser’s turn. The Lightning’s best defenseman this year will keep his season going as he will join Team Switzerland for the international tournament that will be played in Zurich and Fribourg. Team Canada also announced their roster , but there will be no Lightning players joining them (as of right now). So, for now, it’s just Moser and Carlile he...

Another overall lackluster effort by Tyree Wilson

Here is a look at the 2023 Las Vegas Raiders’ draft class fare this season: Tyree Wilson: The No.7 overall draft finished the season strong with a massive game against the Chiefs deep backups. But don’t let that sway you. Wilson had another underwhelming season. He had just four sacks and played 41 percent of […]

Minnesota WR Kenric Lanier II Commits to Mizzou Football

The Missouri Tigers continue to fill out their last additions of the transfer portal. Eli Drinkwitz and the staff aren’t done at the wide receiver position just yet — adding another player from a power conference school. Minnesota wide receiver Kenrick Lanier II has committed to Missouri — per Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports. In […]

Early returns on Tristan Jarry trade have been promising

When the Pittsburgh Penguins traded Tristan Jarry to the Edmonton Oilers earlier this season, my immediate reaction was that it was probably a trade that needed to happen and had a good chance of working out for the Penguins. Perhaps in multiple ways. It was a great time to move Jarry’s contract, it opened the […]

Penn State Hockey Series Preview: Notre Dame

No. 7 Penn State finishes off its five-game home stand with a two-game series against Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish do not have a single win in 10 Big Ten games under first-year head coach Brock Sheahan. Penn State needs to take both games in regulation to avoid a bad loss and keep pace with […]

Who Were Your Favorite Blackhawks Role Players During the Dynasty Years?

On Saturday night, the Chicago Blackhawks will put an exclamation point on the third “chapter” of their year-long Centennial celebration. The events focusing on “The Banner Years” before and during the game should stir up enough nostalgia for the most recent generation of Blackhawks fans to have their “I remember when” moments come flying out. There were so many incredible moments during the Blackhawks’ dynasty run. But so many of them were authored — or co-authored — by guys who weren’t ...

40 in 40: Andrés Muñoz is doing all that’s asked of him

If given the option to choose any player to throw the final pitch of the season for the Seattle Mariners over the past few years, Andrés Muñoz is the savvy selection. For Muñoz to be pitching, Seattle’s final game must be both close and meaningful. The 2023 and 2024 seasons ended on close victories, but […]

Former Saints RB is on his way to the UFL

When the New Orleans Saints faced 53-man roster cuts, one of the hardest positions to predict was the RB room. The Saints had a decent group throughout training camp, and with some talent sprinkled throughout, the deeper part of the group was going to be a tight battle. In the end, the Saints went with […]

Royals Go Long: Why Kauffman Stadium Just Got Smaller

In this episode of the Royals Rundown Podcast, hosts Jacob Milham and Jeremy “Hokius” Greco break down one of the most significant on-field changes the Kansas City Royals have made in years: moving the outfield fences inward at Kauffman Stadium. The discussion explores why the organization made the move, how modern baseball analytics informed the […]

The College Football Transfer Portal’s two-week window is about to close officially on Friday January 16th (with an exception for Miami and Indiana who get a four day extension following the CFP Championship game), and though this means that players can no longer enter the portal, it does not mean that every player in the […]

Jed Hoyer Talks About the Cubs Offseason So Far and What’s Ahead

As the 2025 season ended, the Chicago Cubs’ needs were crystal clear. Sometimes you have to guess and speculate, and get really creative to figure out what a team might want to do. In this case, though, it was all just very obvious: the Cubs needed to rebuild the bullpen, the Cubs needed multiple starting pitchers, including a front-three starting pitcher, and, if possible, the Cubs would probably like to add an impact bat. The Cubs have done exactly those three things this offseason. The...

A Doctor Dishes on Cold Weather’s Impact on Football, Chance The Rapper Brings the Hype, Faith in Swift Pays Off, and Other Bears Bullets

A baseball thought before I dive into BN Bears Bullets. Kyle Tucker signing with the Dodgers (mega eye roll, of course) means that the Cubs essentially traded Hayden Wesneski, Cam Smith, and Isaac Paredes for a 90-win regular-season, a playoff series win, Alex Bregman, and a draft pick (that comes Chicago’s way for Tucker signing with Los Angeles). As far as I’m concerned, that looks like a net win for Chicago. OK, we’re on to football things. If you haven’t read Patrick’s Bea...
