Of all draft picks, first-round talents typically come into their rookie seasons with the best chance to become a Week 1 starter. But for Max Iheanachor things might be a little different. Joining an offensive line with plenty of depth already, Iheanachor may find it difficult to start immediately, according to Steelers beat writer Mark […]

Matthew Tkachuk will make his season debut for the Panthers. What a difference a day makes. Florida bounced back from Friday’s ugly 9-1 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes by completing a season-series sweep of the Washington Capitals with a 5-3 victory on Saturday. Uvis Balinskis notched his fi...
This was a weird week for the Pittsburgh Penguins, and when all was said and done they walked out of it having collected four out of a possible six points in the standings. That was a very reasonable goal at the beginning, and probably the bare minimum of what they needed to do given the […]
The New England Patriots won a slugfest on Sunday in Foxborough against the visiting Houston Texans. It was a game that saw eight total turnovers, including a pick-six by Marcus Jones, his sixth non-offensive TD since the 2022 season, which is best mark in the NFL during that span. With Jones and the defense leading […]
Welcome to the Morning Commute Today we’re talking about commitments. No, not the transfer kind. The kind we used to get excited about. The transfer portal closed on Friday evening, meaning players are now locked into their teams with a few exceptions. There are still plenty of players available, so we doubt Mizzou is totally […]
Here are your Pens Points for this Monday morning… The Pittsburgh Penguins’ newest acquisition, forward Egor Chinakhov, has found early success while on a line with fellow countryman Evgeni Malkin. [Trib Live] Injured Penguins defenseman Erik Karlsson rejoined the team for practice on Sunday. He has missed the past three games with an undisclosed injury […]
Greetings, internet users. Welcome to The Scratching Post and the new year. Feel free to use this thread to chat about (almost) anything you want: video games, food, movies, non-football sports, you name it. As long as it’s allowed by the site’s ToS, it’s fair game here. You know the drill. This is now an […]
On Monday night, Mark Pope broke the news that Kentucky point guard Jaland Lowe would be done for the season, as he’s opted to have surgery on his shoulder. That the news might not come as a shock to many, but it does impact this team substantially this season. Despite that fact, it was fairly […]
The Miami Dolphins will likely be hiring a first-time HC this offseason, and it will continue a trend that has led to poor results under Stephen Ross.
One of my favorite stats to check after the regular season is over is which NFL teams won a bunch (or lost a bunch) of close games. Why? Because, to tell you the truth, no one has really figured out how to win close games consistently in this league. For the most part, your record […]
THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS Sunday Night Football: Rams beat Bears 20-17 in overtime Close but no cigar. Bears’ grades are in. How did they do against the Rams? About as you would expect. Bears QB Caleb Williams forces overtime with ‘ridiculous’ pass, but Rams win 20-17 It was absolutely nuts, but shout out to […]
The Islanders have two games left on the big seven-game trip, with tonight in Vancouver feeling like a “gotta have it” two points. With the Olympic break nearing, these next two games could be big for not only how the trip ledger balances out but also where the season heads. Dan and Mike talk about […]
There was very little baseball news yesterday for the most part, so please excuse this NFL digression: Cripes, how is it possible that we got an NFL season where none of the Chiefs, Cowboys, Steelers, or Eagles won a playoff game and we still wound up with a Final Four that is just a damn […]
*Folks… things are not going great around here. The Flyers got effectively walloped by the Rangers, who more or less threw in the towel on their season last week, and the losing streak has stretched to six games. Do you want to relive that game? No? We have a recap anyway. [ BSH ] *Charlie also has his own takeaways from that one. [ PHLY ] *It was truly a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad game. [ The Athletic ] *Sean Couturier was upfront about it: “we sucked,” says he. [ BS...
When Mike Krzyzewski took the Duke job, it took him a little while to figure out how to recruit here. At first he swung for the fences and cast a wide net, most of whom he missed on. One of those was Chris Mullin, who chose St. John’s after a tremendous high school career first […]
The New England Patriots have no fond memories of playing in Denver in the NFL playoff, losing all four of their previous road games against the Broncos. This week’s AFC Championship Game, however, will give them a prime opportunity to exorcise some demons and advance to the Super Bowl via a trip to the Mile […]
The latest Cleveland Browns coverage from Dawgs By Nature: More Cleveland Browns news:
On Saturday night, the Celtics had a historic first half in what might have been the best offensive showing of Mazzulla Ball. Per NBC Sports Boston’s Dick Lipe, their 82 points at halftime against the Hawks — 52 in the second quarter alone — was their highest total since thrashing Golden State two years ago. […]
At long last, the conclusion of the college football season is upon us. Indiana and Miami will meet tonight to answer the question once and for all: whose boosters bought the best roster of players developed by other, more competent coaching staffs? Or maybe that’s just me being bitter. All kidding aside, Curt Cignetti’s Indiana […]

Ohio State experienced its most active transfer period since the start of NIL, with 30 scholarship players exiting the program and 16 newcomers making their way to Columbus.

The Miami Dolphins are beginning their in person interviews for their vacant head coach position with reports of a frontrunner emerging. Kevin Stefanski was reported to be getting setup for a second interview with Miami, but he quickly accepted the Atlanta Falcons spot on Saturday.
