For the second year running, the Lakers will enter the playoffs with home court advantage. Unfortunately, the odds of this series playing out better than the last remain low. The Rockets await the Lakers this postseason, but the LA side they will meet is a much different one than the one they played during the […]
The bye week could not have come at a better time for the New England Patriots. After playing football on 13 straight weekends, the team of head coach Mike Vrabel was nursing multiple injuries — leading to several key players being out for the most recent game against the New York Giants. While not all […]
Anyone with eyeballs and a pulse will testify that Saturday’s Emirates Cup semifinals between the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder was one of the top games of the season. The fourth quarter alone had six lead changes, and if one didn’t know any better, they might think they witnessed a playoff game. The […]
In a pair of main events that slipped under the radar last night, thanks in no small part to awkward broadcasting arrangements, Noel Mikaelian and Jose “Chapulin” Salas Reyes turned in strong performances to claim world titles. Mikaelian (28-3, 12 KO) spent 18 months on the sidelines after his title-winning whupping of Ilunga Makabu in […]
The Minnesota Wild won the Quinn Hughes sweepstakes, but there were plenty of other suitors who were willing to give up a robust package to land the former Norris Trophy winner, the consensus second-best blueliner in the NHL. And then there are the Philadelphia Flyers . They did not stay in the bidding to the end. They dropped out, refusing to pay the price of either of their top two young players/prospects, as David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period tells us. The Flyers (are) a team that poked (a...
We can all agree with Craig Berube’s lamentation of his team’s lack of urgency to start the third period while down a goal in this game. The contest obviously ended inside the first two minutes of the final frame when the Leafs came out, played in their own end, punted pucks back to the Oilers […] The post Game Review: Same old problems plague Maple Leafs in HNIC loss to Oilers appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
NFL WEEK 15: CHICAGO BEARS VS. CLEVELAND BROWNS — This is a game that Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson said his team “desperately” needs to win . And while this isn’t a win-or-go-home game, it is as close as you’ll get to a “must-win” game in the regular season. As far as I’m concerned, last week’s game against the Green Bay Packers began a stretch of virtual playoff games for Chicago’s football team. Every player needs to be at their best. The same can be said for each coach and staffer. Thi...
The Falcons have been eliminated from playoff contention, but there’s a lot of evaluation left to do during the 2025 season. Kevin Knight and Allen Strk discuss what matters for the Falcons over the remainder of the year, including a potential Kyle Pitts breakout, continued growth and development from the defense, and figuring out draft […]
Francisco Rodriguez is next on the list. He is number six all-time in saves (Kenley Jansen and Craig Kimbrel passed him recently) and had a terrific career. The three guys ahead of him in saves are all in the Hall. So maybe he should be there, too? Rodriguez has a 16-year MLB career. He played […]
The Ravens are in Cincinnati for a rematch with the Bengals after a brutal loss on Thanksgiving. Both teams’ seasons are on the ropes with an uphill battle for the AFC North crown as their only path to the playoffs. Baltimore is getting two key defenders back from injury – outside linebacker Tavius Robinson and […]
It looked bleak at first for this Miami Dolphins' rookie, but he has started to right the ship as the team has surged back into the playoff race.

The Washington Commanders are visiting the New York Giants this week as they start their four-game stretch against NFC East teams to finish the season. This will be a sad game to watch with two teams that have five wins between them in Week 15, and they’ve already played each other once. Jayden Daniels won’t […]
A well timed bye-week has an almost entirely healthy Carolina Panthers ready to take on the last quarter of their 2025 regular season schedule. At 7-6, they have the slimmest grasp on first place in the NFC South with three divisional games left to play. First of those is today against the New Orleans Saints […]
I am genuinely curious if anyone sees the Arizona Cardinals having a chance in this one. The Cardinals are big time underdogs heading into their matchup with the Houston Texans, and there are serious questions on if they can survive this week. With the Texans defense, it could be a miserable day at the office […]

The Knicks’ upcoming week opens with Tuesday night’s Emirates NBA Cup Final in Las Vegas. It’s a shot at a shiny new trophy, history, and bragging rights. What follows may prove even more challenging, however. After the celebration (or disappointment) comes a quick turnaround, with a road trip to Indiana and a Friday night return […]
The Atlanta Braves have not been able to come close to their historic 2023 output on offense over the past two seasons. Odds were not in their favor to repeat, but that does not mean that whatever happened wasn’t disappointing anyway. In 2024, they were 15th in runs scored among all MLB teams amid a […]
The Wisconsin Badgers didn’t have the season they were anticipating in 2025, going 4-8 as they had a rough six-game losing streak before a big November with multiple top-25 wins. Much of the issue came offensively, as the Badgers ranked amongst the worst offenses in college football in nearly every category. But, Wisconsin also saw […]

Manchester United Women have still never lost to Tottenham, despite a very strong effort from the North London visitors on Sunday.
