The Dallas Cowboys’ offseason needs are already a hot topic, and this team has plenty of them. However, in addition to adding more talent, key personnel changes are also needed to remove certain players and coaches from their current roles. If this team wants to improve next season, here are five individuals who should no […]
Happy New Year! Bracketology is back! We are a little over two months out from Selection Sunday, slated for Sunday, March 16. In the meantime, every Friday, we will be going over which Mountain West men’s basketball programs have a chance to go dancing regardless of their fate in the MW Tournament — and which […]
When it comes to the fundamental principles of my sports fandom, I really am a very simple guy. There is one basic tenet. The Golden Rule. The First Commandment. To Hell with Boston. In all sports. Then. Now. Forever. At the inevitable heat death of the universe, only my loathing of Boston sports will remain. […]
Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has confirmed that Ronald Araujo is back with the group after taking a five-week mental health break at the end of November following a very difficult night in the Champions League defeat away to Chelsea. Flick revealed Araujo is not 100% physically ready to return to play and will give the […]
December results There hadn’t been a lot of activity from the D-backs, to sway the numbers in last month’s poll. We’d signed James McCann, but that had basically been it, bar some winnowing out of the chaff from the roster, and various minor-league movies. Unsurprisingly, this did not translate into a great deal of variation […]
The Cleveland Browns take on the Cincinnati Bengals this Sunday in the final game of the regular season. We begin and end with the Battle of Ohio, but unfortunately, despite a very weak AFC North, neither team was able to step into contention this season. Here is what the national media is saying about the […]
Today, NJ/NY Gotham FC and San Diego Wave have announced a trade. Midfielder Savannah McCaskill will join Gotham FC with San Diego receiving $175,000 in intraleague transfer funds. Wave Sporting Director and General Manager Camille Ashton mentioned that McCaskill was seeking a change of scenery and a new opportunity. “Savannah expressed interest in a new […]
Way back in July, when the NHL released their initial six players for each country participating in the 2026 Milano Cortina Olympic Games Victor Hedman was a lock to make the roster. Sure, enough the Tampa Bay Lightning’s captain was part of that initial wave of players, and expressed delight at finally being able to represent his country at the preeminent international tournament for hockey.
Also back in July, Lightning fans were still figuring out exactly what role the newly signed Pont...
This is a column to check in on the rest of the football world, but since it’s 2025 in America I will beat you over the head with The Agenda, which in case you’ve forgotten is “Big Ten Superiority Unless It’s Funny.” You may have noticed that I haven’t really used the “Unless It’s Funny” […]
Indiana Hoosiers 38, Alabama Crimson Tide 3 RUReady4Brazil: Can you believe how far we’ve come from Indinia? BuffKomodo: My son was born in December, 2020. Indiana football would go on to lose in the Outback Bowl to an Ole Miss team with a losing record during a strange time in our culture. From there, Indiana […]
One more player from the Montreal Canadiens will not be getting a mid-season vacation this year. With roster decisions for the 2026 Olympic hockey tournament coming in this week, Oliver Kapanen has been selected to represent Finland when the NHL goes to Italy.
Oliver Kapanen fera partie d'Équipe Finlande aux Jeux olympiques d'hiver 2026 de Milan-Cortina! 🇫🇮 Oliver Kapanen has been named to Team Finland for the Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026. Congrats, Kappy! #GoHabsGo pic.twitte...
While the Detroit Lions’ season ended on Christmas last week, there was one silver lining: my bold prediction was correct. That makes it two times my bold prediction has come true this season, not the record I wanted to have. In the 2025 season finale, the Lions travel and take on the Chicago Bears in […]
Manchester City suffered a roadblock in their Premier League title charge yesterday, playing Sunderland to a nil-nil draw. The goalless result also brought injuries for Savinho and Nico Gonzalez. The latter went off at halftime, while the former had to be subbed off a few minutes after that. We don’t know the specific nature of […]

Domè Guasch, Filipa Patão, and the Boston Legacy continue to build out their roster ahead of the 2026 season. Today, the club announced that they have signed Bianca St-Georges to a three-year contract through the 2028 season. “The fact that it’s a new club, that I get to participate in the expansion of a new […]
Kings fans seem like they are a decent bunch. Mostly complementary of the Celtics and don't overly trash their own team (other than Eubanks and Westbrook). I always love hearing a lot of Celtics fans on the road. Must have felt good for Queta to be starting for the Celtics after being waived by the Kings. I feel bad for the fan who just misses winning. Wild stat that the Celtics haven't played on New Year's Day in Boston since 1956. My favorites are in...
It’s now officially 2026 and the Holidays are gone and behind us. Finals are over, the transfer portal for football is open, and the rest of the winter Minnesota Golden Gophers teams are back to work and ready for the final run over the o few months to the postseason. We also have the debut […]
Another ascending coach appears to be heading to Fort Worth to join the TCU football program in the near future. After reports revealed the Horned Frogs are set to hire Tulsa OC/QBs coach Brad Robbins to reunite with new TCU OC Gordon Sammis (both are former UConn assistants), new reports indicate TCU is angling to […]
The Columbus Blue Jackets took a bit of time to trade Yegor Chinakhov to find the right trade, but there was more interest from teams than just the Pittsburgh Penguins who ended up landing the former first-round pick. Chris Johnston reported, "There were teams around it. Going way back earlier in the season, the Leafs were one of them. I don't know that they were there later on here. San Jose I think had some interest. Winnipeg. A lot of teams were curious." Chinakhov is a 24-year-old drafted ...

As the calendar flips to 2026, the hockey world is eagerly awaiting the rosters for next month's Olympic Games. While fans in Minnesota are getting a taste of international hockey with the World Juniors, that's nothing compared to what's on deck. With the NHL finally back in the Games after a 12-yea...
The Detroit Red Wings are sitting pretty in the standings, but Max Bultman of The Athletic thinks the biggest deadline question is still staring them in the face. Detroit’s top pair of Moritz Seider and Simon Edvinsson looks legit, and Ben Chiarot has been solid, but the blue line depth behind that gets a lot shakier once the games tighten up. With the March 6 trade deadline approaching fast, the Red Wings should add an experienced No. 4 or 5 defenseman who can handle heavy pressur...
After finding some success — particularly defensively — last season, it’s been a struggle for the Miami Heat with Bam Adebayo and Kel’el Ware together. Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra has been open, on multiple occasions, about wanting to see more from them together. Heading into the New Year, the big man duo sported a […]

After a December that saw the Lakers win just five of their 12 games while posting the second-worst defense in the league and a third-worst net rating at -8.2, there may not be a team more eager to turn over the calendar into 2026 and begin a new year fresh than this one. But changing […]
The Cincinnati Reds continued to add to their bullpen depth this week, albeit again on the frugal side of the transaction tree. As Francys Romero reported, the Reds are bringing in right-hander Yunior Marte on a minor league deal that includes an invite to spring training in Goodyear, a deal that will pay him some […]
