It’s not that often that fans of the Philadelphia Flyers care so much about the comings and goings of the Ontario Hockey League, unless they reside in the province of Ontario, but this year is different with top prospect Jett Luchanko being such a hot topic as of late.
Ever since the Flyers sent the 19-year-old center back to the OHL’s Guelph Storm after not being able to carve out a full-time role other than being a fourth-line pivot, there have been countless rumors of a potential trade...
Goalies are voodoo.
Not a single person who walks God’s green earth knows exactly what makes a goalie good or if a young goalie prospect will reach his full potential. Some guys show promise early, some guys don’t figure it out until they are 30, and others never reach it at all. Some guys just...

The friendship between Aaron Rodgers and Mason Rudolph is genuinely endearing. While the Pittsburgh Steelers continue to figure out which quarterback will start on Sunday against the Chicago Bears, both signal-callers spoke to the media on Wednesday and couldn’t stop talking about how great the other is. When Rodgers was asked about Rudolph, he was […]
Although I still miss when the MLB Draft was in June, giving it PLENTY of distance from the MLB Trade Deadline (and thus giving front offices six+ weeks to focus fully on trade season, rather than just two), I still will take any maneuvering that gives it a little space from the All-Star festivities. It was a nice thought to bring the events together to try to maximize national attention, but in practice it wound up just making everything feel overcrowded.

The Bears return to Soldier Field this week, sitting at 7–3, riding momentum, confidence, and the kind of late-November relevance this franchise hasn’t felt in years. But as they prepare for the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 12, the matchup brings no shortage of compelling storylines. There is something for everyone — from a potential Caleb Williams–Aaron Rodgers showcase, to Chicago’s push to stack wins before a brutal two-week stretch, to a trenches battle that could decide everything...
