When Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and actress/singer Hailee Steinfeld got married in Santa Barbara, CA back on May 31 of this year, they had only been engaged for six months. The old adage of “when you know, you know” certainly rang true for what some fans now refer to as the “King and Queen” […]
Welcome back to BTSC’s Friday night open thread. 5. Song of the Week: “Father Christmas” – The Kinks
This intense conflict with the two household college basketball names, the No. 8 Gonzaga Bulldogs (9-1, 0-0 WCC) and the No. 25 UCLA Bruins (7-2, 2-0 Big Ten), has created a handful of memories for both fanbases. Some bad, mostly good. Here are a few that come to mind: 2006: Adam Morrison’s final collegiate game […]
The Tigers have been stocking up on minor league pitchers over the last few days. On Friday afternoon, they made a trade as well, sending side arm specialist Chase Lee to the Toronto Blue Jays. In return, they got left-hander Johan Simon. The move clears a 40-man roster spot for reliever Kyle Finnegan, and adds […]
You can almost put the Blazer Blahs on the calendar. It’s that time of year when the collective preseason enthusiasm about Yang Hansen being the second coming of Nikola Jokic, the possibilities of year-three-Scoot tutored by Jrue and Dame, the whispers about “training camp Shaedon,” the hopes for a well-conditioned Donovan Clingan, the optimism about […]
Manchester City travel to South London to take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park as they continue to hunt Arsenal down at the top of the Premier League. The Blues moved to within two points of the Gunners following their 3-0 victory over Sunderland followed Arsenal’s 2-1 loss at Aston Villa. And the Blues will […]
It’s only been 12 months since Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders dominated awards season, taking home nearly every trophy they possibly could in 2024. This season, things have been a bit different. Colorado finished their season with a record of 3-9 and struggled greatly down the stretch. Still, two Buffaloes were able to earn postseason […]
The Wisconsin Badgers are back in the Elite 8. The Badgers faced off against the No. 2 Stanford Cardinal on Friday afternoon, winning 3-1 to face the No. 1-seeded Texas Longhorns in the Elite Eight on Sunday.

While trades can occur all season long, the options open up considerably for teams on Dec. 15 when players who were free agents this summer become trade-eligible. There have already been rumors swirling about franchise players like Giannis Antetokounmpo, Anthony Davis and LaMelo Ball possibly being moved. That chatter will only intensify as we get […]
In his latest mock draft, former ESPN analyst Todd McShay has the Los Angeles Rams picking Ohio State safety Caleb Downs with their first of two first round picks. McShay thinks with all the available options on the board that Downs would be the best fit for L.A.’s current roster and needs, not a quarterback […]
The Chicago White Sox have claimed 28-year-old lefthander Ryan Rolison, a day after the Atlanta Braves DFA’d him to make room for Robert Suarez. Rolison was selected in the first round of the 2018 draft by the Colorado Rockies, which just has to be the most extreme sort of “good news/bad news” call a pitcher […]
After ending their long wait for an Old Trafford win, why not Stamford Bridge? Everton head to London on Saturday looking to bring home three points from Chelsea for the first time since November 1994, when Paul Rideout’s header secured the points in Joe Royle’s second game in charge. Such a poor record means realism […]

12/12 UPDATE : The Cubs signed free-agent RHRP Collin Snider to a 2026 minor league contract.

A frigid football game on the Chicago lakefront in December with a playoff trip on the line. It’s something that Chicago Bears fans have longed for after years of sitting through meaningless December games with the team long eliminated. The opponent for this game probably won’t excite many folks, but it should be a decent […]
Suddenly, the NFC East has become a division nobody wants to win. After ripping off three straight wins, the Cowboys were positioning themselves for a chance to contend in the division, but they lost on Thursday Night Football to the Lions in a game filled with the kind of errors and miscues that doomed this […]
Ask any Knicks fan about who their favorite Knicks are this decade, and you’ll have a hard time finding one that doesn’t have Donte DiVincenzo in their top three or top five, which is pretty crazy to think about since he only played one season in New York. But it’s understandable. Not only was DiVincenzo […]

After Friday’s practice, head coach Craig Berube discussed the status of his injured players (OEL, Woll, Tanev, Stolarz, Carlo, Rifai), letting the lead slip against San Jose, and the challenge against the Oilers. What is the news on Oliver Ekman-Larsson? Berube: Not bad. Tomorrow, we will know. Hopefully, he can get on the ice and […]
The post Craig Berube on whether Anthony Stolarz’s season is in jeopardy: “I wouldn’t go there, but he’s not going to be on the ice any time soon” appeared fi...
The visible frustration from Maxx Crosby as the Denver Broncos converted third downs is common place for the Silver & Black. When the Las Vegas Raiders energetic defensive end — who rarely leaves the field, by the way — lifts his arms up as the defense as a whole is ran ragged as it can […]
The Seattle Kraken have been struggling as of late, as they have won only three out of their last seven games. With this, they now have a 12-10-6 record and are sixth in the Pacific Division. Now, with the Kraken struggling, one of their forwards has been mentioned as a player to watch as a potential trade candidate: forward Mason Marchment. In his most recent 32 Thoughts column , NHL insider Elliotte Friedman mentioned that Marchment is a player to keep an eye on this season. "It ...
