Flyers vs. Hurricanes, Game 4: How to watch, lineups, and gamethread

Well here we are. The Philadelphia Flyers are facing elimination from the playoffs and being slightly embarrassed by the Carolina Hurricanes as they get swept in their own building. While it is almost impossible to imagine the Flyers are even capable of coming back in this series, all we’re asking for is one single win that we can point at as a reason why we shouldn’t be even more disheartened by the performance in this second round.

Game 40: Reds vs. Astros (4:10 PM ET) – Burns vs. Arrighetti

Nothing, and I do mean nothing has gone right for the Cincinnati Reds for the better part of two weeks. On Saturday, they’ll once again get the chance to show they’re better than they’ve been during this brutal 8-game losing streak, and they’ll fortunately have their resident ace on the mound in young Chase Burns.

Should Portland Offer Robert Williams More than the MLE?

There was a time when the thought of Portland Trail Blazers center Robert Williams III getting another non-veteran minimum deal was a stretch. Just 12 months ago, Williams appeared to have been beaten by a multitude of injuries, which had kept him to just 26 games through his first two seasons with the Blazers. Once […]

What to look for at the NBA Draft Lottery

It’s finally here, the big day. The NBA Lottery takes place Sunday. Is it the biggest day for the Nets franchise history since the move to Brooklyn? Hardly.

Rays at Red Sox: Postponed

UPDATE: The game has been postponed and will be made up as part of a split doubleheader on July 17. This may be stating the obvious, but weather will be a factor in this game, folks. (It’s sunny here in Seattle!) The Sox and Rays will either play through some serious bouts of rain this […]

Can these two UDFAs make an impact for the Rams in 2026?

While the Los Angeles Rams made free agency a priority in upgrading the 2026 defense, they did not invest much draft capital to that end.

Raiders roster 2026: Diving into the nose tackle competition

Where’s the beef? The classic line from the old-school 1980s Wendy’s commercial is quite apt for the Las Vegas Raiders as the team embarks on the upcoming 2026 campaign. Because that statement can be directly linked to the Silver & Black’s nose tackle spot — a position that has elevated importance due to defensive coordinator […]
