The Edmonton Oilers postseason begins on Monday. Heading into the final day of the season on Thursday, the Oilers first round opponent was anyone’s best guess. There were three possibilities: The Colorado Avalanche, the Los Angeles Kings, and the Anaheim Ducks. Before the Vegas Golden Knights won on Wednesday, the Oilers even could’ve played the…
The Lakers have a tall task in front of them, trying to beat the Rockets with their biggest stars, Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves, out indefinitely. With Luka dealing with a hamstring strain and Reaves out with a Grade 2 oblique strain, the team doesn’t expect either to be available for the first round. However, […]
One theme of the offseason so far for the Los Angeles Rams is that they are reprioritizing special teams. They brought in a new coordinator, Bubba Ventrone, and signed free agents Joe Cardona (long snapper) Grant Stuard (utility, ace) to multi-year deals. The current slate of picks in next week’s NFL Draft also lends itself […]
The Rams have been linked to receivers throughout the draft process and the player that they get connected to the most often by far is USC’s Makai Lemon. But if Jordyn Tyson drops out of the top-10, does he become the most underrated receiver of the class? If L.A. is able to add Tyson to […]
With the playoffs set to begin, LeBron James once again finds himself in a familiar role, trying to lead his team to postseason success. One aspect that is new and unfamiliar, however, is his contract status with his team whenever the year concludes. LeBron is entering the final year of his deal with the Lakers […]
With the dust settled on the regular season, the Lakers now turn their attention to the playoffs and their first- round matchup with the Houston Rockets. Despite having a better record and home-court advantage over their Western Conference counterpart, Los Angeles is projected to be a large underdog in the series. That’s the harsh reality of […]
Almost two seasons ago, I was watching a Dodgers telecast where announcer Joe Davis and play-by-play analyst Orel Hershiser commented about one of the two main food promotions associated with the Dodgers: the “free” Jumbo Jack with the purchase of a large drink at participating Jack in the Box restaurants, the day after the Dodgers […]
Going on his third season as a Dodger in 2026, Tyler Glasnow still has a lot of firsts left to accomplish, and one of them will be done this weekend—would you believe that this will be the first time Glasnow starts a game in Coors Field in his career? Scheduling and injuries have prevented the […]
The Los Angeles Rams could go in any number of directions in the draft next week and USA Today says that Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love would be a perfect fit for the Rams, even if it’s one of the draft’s least likely pairings. Reporter Ayrton Ostly stated in his April 17 article that […]
The Edmonton Oilers‘ first-round playoff series against the Anaheim Ducks will begin on Monday. The full NHL playoff schedule is now out, with games beginning as early as Saturday. After defeating the Vancouver Canucks 6-1 on Thursday night, the Oilers secured home ice advantage in round one. The Ducks clinched the three-seed in the Pacific Division…
Garret Anderson, long time major league outfielder who spent most of his career with the Anaheim Angels, has passed away, the team announced this morning. Anderson was 53. Anderson was originally a fourth round pick of the Angels in 1990, and during his career he was a member of the California Angels, the Anaheim Angels, […]
The Dodgers had four off days through the first three weeks of the regular season, including a Sunday off plus three Thursdays in a row without a game. Their longest stretch thus far has been six days in a row with games. But the schedule is about to get much busier. The Dodgers have four […]
Right on draft season cue, fans of the Los Angeles Rams are pining for an upgrade at linebacker. These calls have fallen on deaf ears in the past. Since the 2017 partnership of General Manager Les Snead and Coach Sean McVay, investing capital in the linebacker corps could be best described as an afterthought. Since […]
After two years of non-stop trade rumors and stagnant development, the Anaheim Ducks finally made the decision to trade forward Trevor Zegras this past offseason. In exchange for sending Zegras to the Philadelphia Flyers, the Ducks received second-and fourth-round picks as well as veteran forward (and former Pittsburgh Penguins forward) Ryan Poehling. At the time, […]
There’s a whole other article here that’s tempting to write. Several, even. How about “If the Rockets lose to the Lakers, Ime Udoka should be on the hot seat”? That is a position that could easily be justified. Luka Doncic is out for Game 1, and questionable for Game 2. Austin Reaves is questionable for […]
With the Loons getting rained out at home and three other losses across the minor leagues, there was little to salvage on the day in the minors, but, if nothing else, we can take solace in individual standout performances. Player of the day Having cooled off a bit after that scorching hot start to his […]
The Yankees were Mike Trout-ed once again on Thursday. The future Hall-of-Famer walked twice and homered for the fifth (!!) time of the series. Against a not-great Angels team, the Bombers could only manage a split in the four-game series at home. But, life goes on, as does other action around the American League. Let’s […]

Chargers News: Five takeaways from Joe Hortiz’s pre-draft press conference (Chargers.com) The Chargers front office recapped their free agent haul on Thursday (Chargers.com) Joe Hortiz acknowledged the availability of Dexter Lawrence but would not go much further with reporters (Chargers Wire) […]
The Los Angeles Rams unveiled new uniforms recently, and it’s perhaps a more exciting time for some than others. Some fans will likely enjoy the new look, and others may not. For me, I am not sure that the uniforms look all that different from what they were before. I can be wrong. I’ll also […]
The Edmonton Oilers had one last game to play before the playoffs started, but as it turns out, game 82 ended up having greater stakes than any of us likely imagined when we kicked things off back in October. Yet, with a job to do and an awful Vancouver Canucks team in town to wrap…
The NBA playoffs are finally upon us, and that means one thing: it’s time to place every team in arbitrary tiers made by yours truly. First, we need to reiterate one thing. In any given year, only a handful of teams have legitimate shots at the title, as history’s shown that teams need a player […]
Earlier this week, the Yankees picked up a split in their series against the Angels, but it was a lot of work to get there. The two wins required ninth inning comebacks, while the two losses were both of the very dumb variety. With that over, the Yankees will remain home and welcome the Royals […]
Last season, a corner outfielder wearing the jersey no. 23 got off to a rough start in his first year as a Dodgers. This season, a shiny new corner outfielder wearing no. 23 has gotten off to an equally frustrating start. Kyle Tucker was signed to be that impact corner outfielder at the top of […]
