Fresh off a three-game sweep of the inter-league rival New York Mets, the A’s return home today for a division series matchup with the Texas Rangers. Not only are the two teams tied for the lead in the American League West, but they are tied for the second-best record in the American League, period! Tonight, […]
Now that the 2025 Major League Baseball season is well behind us, and the sting from the Detroit Tigers’ final-game marathon against the Seattle Mariners has begun to subside, I thought it would be a fine idea to look back at some Tigers statistics from, as the saying goes, a “thirty-thousand-feet-up view.” Stats are from […]
After much internal discussion, we’ve finally settled on a time and place to get together with as many of the SCH commentariat is willing to venture to the South Loop on a school night. Let’s get to the specifics: Who? The people reading this, hopefully. What? A Second City Hockey watch party! Didn’t you read the headline? When? Tuesday, Dec. 16 when the Blackhawks host the Maple Leafs at 6 p.m. Where? Flo & Santos, located at 1310 S. Wabash Avenue ...
Chelsea vs Everton Highlights: 2-0 Demolition Reveals 3 Fatal Flaws The Premier League delivered another masterclass at Stamford
On Saturday, ahead of traveling to the West Coast for a Week 15 matchup with the Los Angeles Rams, the Detroit Lions announced that they have downgraded two players to OUT: safety Thomas Harper (concussion) and Christian Mahogany (fibula). With Brian Branch likely headed to injured reserve later on Saturday (transactions are typically announced at […]
The Kentucky Wildcats have made two more additions to Will Stein’s first coaching staff in Lexington. According to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz, Kentucky is expected to hire Houston safeties coach Josh Christian-Young. In addition, Zenitz also reports that Kentucky is set to hire UTSA wide receivers coach Joe Price. Christian-Young, who’s spent the last two […]
Tristan Jarry and Spencer Stastney will make their Edmonton Oilers debut tonight in Toronto and there’s a small belief that sometimes all it takes is a fresh start. Whether that belief is justified remains to be seen. Jarry is 9-3-1 in 14 games this season with a 2.66 GAA and .909 save percentage. Those are…
“Wake Up Dead Man,” the third film in the “Knives Out” series from director Rian Johnson, came out in theaters briefly in October and is now available for streaming. As a (now retired) member of the Directors Guild of America, I have access to screeners of various films for DGA Award consideration. This film was […]
The last time the Chicago Bears played the Cleveland Browns, Matt Eberflus’ Bears gave up 13 unanswered points in the fourth quarter and lost 20 to 17. Before that, Matt Nagy’s Bears had one of the worst game plans of all time for his rookie quarterback, and they lost 26 to 6. Sigh… There’s not […]
Game 31: Montreal Canadiens @ New York Rangers Start time: 7:00 PM EST / 4:00 PM PST In the Canadiens region: CityTV, Sportsnet East (English), TVA Sports (French) In the Rangers region: MSG Streaming: ESPN+, Sportsnet+ It was a surprising season for the New York Rangers in 2024-25 when a team that had looked like it was trending toward contender status often looked disinterested in putting in any effort and never recovered on the way to missing the playoffs. The lack of urgenc...
The Jets beat the Jaguars last season, with both teams struggling at the time. However, this season’s Jacksonville team is 9-4 and could be heading for an AFC South title. Can the Jets play spoiler with the undrafted rookie Brady Cook starting at quarterback? Let’s break down the Jaguars roster, going position-by-position: Quarterbacks When the […]
There are times where I have to wait until the last minute possible to write up the winner, because it is not clear who it is going to be. This was not one of those times. The victor always seemed likely, though I do have to feel for Brandon Pfaadt, whose “incomplete game shutout” would […]
One of the more interesting things around baseball in 2025 is the disconnect between how the Yankees are viewed by the professional analyst class and the more general population. The former sees them as more or less a perpetual motion machine, churning out quality teams year after year even as they don’t spend what they […]
For now, Marquette women’s basketball is 6-3 on the year but more importantly 2-0 in the Big East. They are one of just two 2-0 teams in the league with only three more standing at 1-0. That is going to change rapidly come Wednesday when the Golden Eagles hit the road to visit the other […]
It’s time for a rarity: a weekend adventure into the 2026 Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List! Yes, our quest to rank the top 44 prospects in the San Francisco Giants organization is clocking in for work on a Saturday, because … well … because I never got around to it on Friday. So here […]
UPDATE: Chandler has been downgraded to OUT for Sunday’s game. The Vikings will not be activating him this week. Yesterday, the Minnesota Vikings and the Dallas Cowboys released their final injury reports ahead of their Sunday Night Football matchup in the Lone Star State. There’s been an interesting development for the home team that was […]
The Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots are set to face off in a huge Week 15 AFC East showdown. It’s a matchup that players around the NFL refer to as a “hat and t-shirt” game, where the Patriots can re-claim the division crown by winning on Sunday. You can be certain that’s New England’s […]
The Indianapolis Colts announced that the team has signed recently unretired longtime NFL quarterback Philip Rivers from their practice squad to the 53-man active roster. It was an expected move that paves the way for the 44-year-old quarterback (and freshly turned grandpa), who was surprisingly re-signed by the Colts earlier this week after not playing […]
After conquering the tough part of their non-conference schedule, the Tar Heels are back in action this afternoon to face off against South Carolina Upstate. UNC had to face off against Kansas, Michigan State, Kentucky, and Georgetown to kick off their pre-ACC journey, and out of those games they only managed to drop one. The […]
The Blackhawks return to the United Center on Saturday night to host the Detroit Red Wings about 24 hours after a miserable night in St. Louis was made significantly worse in the game’s closing seconds. We’ll get to Detroit in a bit because the more pressing issues deal with the home team in this game. Chicago lost 3-2 to the Blues last night but — more importantly — lost Connor Bedard to an apparent shoulder injury in the game’s closing seconds. Word on the severity of his injury won’t c...
If you mention Laurent Brossoit's name in Winnipeg, there are a lot of people who will tell you they wish he was still here. It's not a shot at Eric Comrie nor is it anyone saying that they want an upgrade in between the pipes, but it's a genuine appreciation for what Brossoit did while he was a member of the Jets. He often found wins for the Jets despite sitting for long spells while Connor Hellebuyck did his thing, but every time someone spoke of his contributions to the team it came with ho...
The San Jose Sharks are in Pittsburgh today for a day game against the Penguins.

On Friday, it was announced the Penguins acquired Stuart Skinner, defenseman Brett Kulak and Edmonton’s 2029 second-round draft pick for goaltender Tristan Jarry and Sam Poulin. The Penguins are 14-8-7 and are currently second in the Eastern Conference wild card ...

You may not be aware, but a fairly prominent name in the wrestling world is having his retirement match tonight in Washington D.C. Perhaps you’ve heard of him.
