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 […]

Maple Leafs Rumors: Top Tier Head Coach To Take Over If Berube Is Fired

The Toronto Maple Leafs have had somewhat of a nightmare season and are second-last in the Eastern Conference with 37 points (16-15-5). There have been plenty of injuries, underperforming players, and assistant coach Marc Savard already let go, but more is going to be in store for the Maple Leafs if they don't go on a run very soon. The next to go will have to be head coach Craig Berube, despite comments that Berube and GM Brad Treliving are safe. Organizations will always say that until it ge...

2025 Dodgers season review: Evan Phillips

Make a list of all the reasons why the Dodger bullpen was not what any of us envisioned at the start of last season, and right at or near the top, you’ll find the absence of Evan Phillips. This bullpen’s most reliable player since he broke out in 2022, Phillips, saw basically his entire 2025 […]

Bears Injury Report, Down Go the Lions, Future Christmas Schedules, What’s Next? And Other Friday Bullets

A peaceful Christmas featuring a walk back from church, a trip to my pops (where I think he enjoyed the batch of peanut butter blossom cookies I made him), and a night watching Return of the Jedi (dueling red and green lightsabers makes it a Christmas movie to me!) really hit the mark. Plus, I didn’t have to argue with anyone about the Bears or quarterback Caleb Williams. I hope your day was as wonderful as mine. Happy Friday, friends. I got a hearty chuckle reading Brett’s BN Cubs Bull...

Putting Ben Kindel’s rookie season in its proper context

The 2025-26 Pittsburgh Penguins might not be particularly good as a team. Especially when it comes to their defense and current level of goaltending. But they do have some good players, and they have some really intriguing young players that could be really good players in the coming seasons. The best of that group is […]

Weird Islanders: The Podcast! – Episode 77 – Parker Wotherspoon and Dmytro Timashov (with guest Matthew Strauss)

Joined by friend Matt Strauss, we remember two modern Weird Islanders who felt like they were around more than they actually were; Parker Wotherspoon because of his many years in the AHL and Dmytro Timashov because of how he came to the Islanders. Parker Wotherspoon is not an exciting player. As a defensive defenseman, his […]

Around The NBA: Houston Has a Problem, Bucks Trade Buzz, Ben Simmons, Injuries, More

Christmas Day games usually represent the moment the rest of sports fandom tunes back into the NBA and takes stock. They’re an important measuring stick, a real indicator of where the featured teams stand after the first 30 or so games of a season. Adam Silver and the NBA office obviously knew this, and they scheduled their holiday slate accordingly. Although the NBA’s prognoses weren’t totally on-point (the Eastern Conference’s top-seeded Detroit Pistons were nowhere to be found on ...

Grading the Mets’ Jeff McNeil trade

In the latest (and potentially final) component of the controlled demolition of the holdover Mets’ core, Jeff McNeil was traded to the Athletics last week for RHP Yordan Rodriguez. The Mets are also covering $5.75M of McNeil’s 2026 salary as well as his buyout to 2027 to incentivize the Athletics to take on his deal. […]

2025 Player Review: Bryce Harper

Was it a good year for Bryce Harper in 2025? Was it a bad year? Was it a weird year? Whatever it was, it sure felt like something was off altogether with Bryce Harper all season, like he was just going through the motions as the season progressed. Was he injured? Was he healthy? Was […]

Jefferson, Reichard Set Records on Christmas Day

A pair of Minnesota Vikings set records on Thursday afternoon in the team’s 23-10 victory over the Detroit Lions. Since it’s time to talk about the positives that came out of the victory, let’s talk a bit about them now. The first one is a record that I think a lot of us expected to […]

Value of Things: Lean into it

Obviously, there is a theme over the last week and throughout the whole season. The theme is that the offense sucks and many people still think Nick Caley needs to be shown the door. I came out a little over a week ago and argued that Caley should stay even though I had been banging […]
