There’s a lot of good and bad to the length of MLB’s 162-game season. On one hand, it can be long and arduous, making games at the beginning and end of the year feel much further apart. The season can feel endless if your team is down in the dumps. The benefits are that there’s […]
What does Matthew Stafford have in store for an encore following an MVP campaign? The veteran quarterback could become the Los Angeles Rams’ all-time passing leader, for starters. Through 74 games with the team, Stafford has thrown for 19,407 yards, having passed Jared Goff and Norm Van Brocklin during the 2025 season. He is 4,351 […]
Luka Dončić’s trip to Spain has brought with it a lack of clarity. With no real precedent of a player going there during the season and no firm idea on a timetable for a return, there isn’t much known about what’s going on and when he could be back. It shouldn’t be a surprise, then, […]
The Mets versus the Dodgers is about as star-studded a matchup as the National League can offer these days. That being said, the first pitching duel of this series doesn’t necessarily reflect that, and it provides the reigning back-to-back champs yet another opportunity to showcase their early prowess against left-handed pitching—Justin Wrobleski will square off […]
Jonathan Quick confirmed that tonight’s game will mark the end of his NHL career, bringing a legendary run to an end.
In their final regular season game, the Lakers routed a tanking Utah Jazz team for their 53rd win, the most for the franchise since 2010-11. All the machinations of surviving a grueling 82 games are over and the brain trust now shifts its focus towards the playoffs. The unfortunate injuries to Luka Dončić and Austin […]
If the Los Angeles Rams hope to fill their void of picks at the start of day three by trading down on day one, they will have to get lucky. Most general managers are smart enough to know that trades are not readily available just because “I want one!” and the math of making a […]
LOS ANGELES — The Dodgers are going through some things in the early going, including both of their premium free agent acquisitions this winter. Kyle Tucker hasn’t really hit much at all yet, and closer Edwin Díaz struggled and has lost velocity on his fastball to the point that the Dodgers are trying to figure […]

The New York Mets (7-9) travel to the West Coast to face the Los Angeles Dodgers (11-4) in a three-game series in Chavez Ravine. While there is never a good time to face the best team on the planet two years running, coming off of a sweep by the lowly Athletics, the Mets could really […]
The 2026 MLB season has had a very weird start. Many good teams — including the Cubs — are off to mediocre starts. In fact, other than the 11-4 Dodgers, the other 29 teams all have records between 10-6 and 6-10 entering Monday’s action: 10-6: Braves, Padres9-6: Pirates9-7: Guardians, Twins, Reds, Diamondbacks8-7: Orioles, Yankees, Rays, […]
Lorenzo Styles was a role player on the 1999 St. Louis Rams and now the franchise has a chance, albeit not an easy one, to draft his superstar son. The Rams might need to trade up for Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles, and he was one of the players who Blaine Grisak highlighted recently as […]
Oklahoma City’s offense highlighted Sunday in the Dodgers minors, as did Zyhir Hope’s power-packed weekend for Tulsa. Player of the day Ryan Fitzgerald hit a grand slam on Sunday, part of a five-RBI day to continue his hot start to the season with Triple-A Oklahoma City. The infielder also doubled and had 11 hits in […]
Good morning, Chargers fans! You know what to do! And now for today’s links. Chargers News: Who is the best Chargers draft pick in the history of the franchise? (Chargers.com) This is the current state of the Chargers depth chart ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft (Chargers Wire) The Chargers may have to invest in […]
Jared Verse (see the quotes below) wants to win against the San Francisco 49ers in Australia this season for all the usual reasons, but also because he has some former college teammates on the 49ers, and he wants to beat them across the ocean when L.A. and SF face off later this year down under. […]
All is not well in Yankee-land. After taking their first three series on the strength of a stifling rotation, they’ve scuttled, dropping two of three to the Athletics before getting swept by the Rays. They’ll get the chance to rebound this week against an Angels squad that finished worst in the AL West last year […]
Old friend Justin Turner signed with the Toros de Tijuana in the Mexican League, the team announced on Friday. The longtime Dodgers third baseman took to Instagram to talk about his new team as well, in both English and Spanish. Turner, 41, played last season with the Chicago Cubs, for whom he hit .219/.288/.314 with […]
Jonathan Quick has had a remarkable second act. After a legendary thirteen-year run with the Kings that produced two Stanley Cups, a Conn Smythe Trophy in 2012, and a pair of Vezina Trophy nominations, Quick reinvented himself as a respected backup, first in Vegas, where he won his third Cup in 2023, then across three one-year deals with the New York Rangers . In February 2025, he became the first American-born goaltender in NHL history to win 400 games. A month later, the Rangers ...
The New York Rangers are in the middle of a retool, so more changes to their roster could be on the way during the offseason. One player who has come up in the rumor mill for multiple seasons now is forward Alexis Lafreniere, so he will be a player to keep an eye on this summer as the Rangers continue to make changes to their group. Because of this, let's look at three teams that could look to acquire Lafreniere during the offseason. Los Angeles Kings The Kings may have landed Arte...
After an exhausting, long NBA season, it was nice to go about Sunday’s game stress-free. There were some stakes involved as the Lakers could still finish either the third or fourth seed. However, LA pretty quickly took control of the game and moved into cruise control as early as the start of the second half. […]
The Utah Jazz had their final game of the season, but also the rebuild. It will not be remembered long as the outcome was expected, an easy win for the Lakers 131-107. There were some things to take away for the Jazz. They played hard in this one, much like they’ve done all season, regardless […]
And just like that, the 2025-26 NBA regular season has come to an end. The Lakers battled injuries and are currently playing without Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves, but thanks to some great games from LeBron James, they’ve managed to earn the fourth seed in the West. Now, they are set to play the Rockets […]
Despite the Nuggets’ best efforts over the weekend, the Lakers will remain the No. 4 seed and play the Rockets in the first round of the NBA playoffs. The opening game between the teams will be on Saturday night at 5:30 p.m. PT on ABC. Entering the weekend, the Lakers sat one game behind the […]
The Lakers closed the regular season with a 131-107 blowout victory over the Utah Jazz on Sunday night. The team played the first half at full strength, but sat LeBron James and Luke Kennard for the second half. It mattered little as the Jazz are one of the sorrier teams of the season and had […]
Before the Edmonton Oilers’ matchup against the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday, holding, interference, and obstruction were temporarily suspended from the rulebook. I kid (sort of), but the 1-0 loss to the Kings was not a well-played, structured and skill-based type of shutout. It was a sludgefest, with few whistles and just a handful of…
