The Colorado Rockies have paid Kris Bryant $101 million to play 170 games. This breaks down to roughly $594,117 (and a whopping 65 cents) per game that Kris Briant has earned through the first four years of his seven year, $182 million contract that he signed prior to the 2022 season. In those 170 games, […]

The Las Vegas Raiders had a crushing loss in overtime against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. The 30-29 loss brings them to 2-6 on the season, and the team appears more likely to pick in the top ten for the 2025 NFL Draft. Brock Bowers made his return on Sunday with a bang, scoring three […]
In the waning moments of the Portland Trail Blazers’ recent close win against the Denver Nuggets, Blazers forward Toumani Camara wrapped up Nuggets center Nikola Jokic from behind… and forced a jump ball.

Update (11/2): Patriots inch closer to No. 1 seed in the AFC after beating Falcons After the early window of games on Sunday, the New England Patriots found themselves down a spot in the AFC playoff picture.

The further we get from the Mikko Rantanen shenanigans for last year, the less I understand it. This week, the Colorado Avalanche extended Martin Nečas — the prize for relinquishing Rantanen to Carolina — in a major way, eight years and $92 million ($11.5M annually). The 26-year-old Nečas has been tremendous in an Avalanche sweater: 44…
There was a lot to like in today’s game against the Denver Broncos, but so, SO much more to hate. I don’t even want to recap the Texans’ scoring drives because they relied, exclusively, on the Texans’ patented all-field goal offense. The defense came to play today. And, while the team came up short, they […]
The SAP Center didn’t just get free tacos Saturday afternoon; it got a show. The San Jose Sharks fought a very interesting physical battle against the Colorado Avalanche and walked out with a very nice win.

The Colorado Rockies were expected to announce early this week their decision on their new head of baseball operations.

Two candidates who had interviewed for the position last week were Matt Forman, Cleveland Guardians executive vice […]
There have been plenty of big contracts signed by star players to begin the 2025-26 season. It has really cut down the potential free agents for next summer, but the teams that have locked up their players long-term aren't worried about that. The two most recent big contracts signed have been Logan Cooley and Martin Necas, but the Necas deal only got done so quickly because of the shift after Cooley signed for $10 million AAV with the Utah Mammoth. Pierre LeBrun said, "Not too long after that ...
The fifth time was not the charm. The Colorado Avalanche dropped their fifth game in overtime in just their 13th game of the season, falling 3–2 to the San Jose Sharks, which saw two goals from Phillip Kurashev, including the game-winner. It was a familiar theme for the Avalanche: dominate play, yet somehow still come out […]
After the Portland Trail Blazers’ dramatic 109-107 win over the Denver Nuggets on Friday night, if you were anything like this writer, you waited in great anticipation for the NBA’s Last Two Minute report on the game.
