Can Sean McVay commit to a run-heavy gameplan?

The Los Angeles Rams are set to play the Chicago Bears on Sunday at Soldier Field in a game to be played in freezing temperatures. They’ll be facing a defense that leads the NFL in interceptions, and a quarterback who’s seen a drop in form (not to be read as played badly). Back in 2018 […]

‘Let’s be pigs,’ revisited

After the Dodgers signed Blake Snell around Thanksgiving 2024, I remembered the Dodgers’ mindset after winning the 2020 World Series. My mind kept going back to a quote I read from Andy McCullough’s biography of Clayton Kershaw: The Last of His Kind: Clayton Kershaw and the Burden of Greatness. In discussing the thought process that Kershaw […]

Rome Odunze Gets Upgraded on the Week’s Final Chicago Bears Injury Report

The third, and final, Chicago Bears injury report ahead of the team’s NFC Divisional Round matchup against the Los Angeles Rams is out. And it is mostly good news for Chicago’s football team. This is as good as an injury report gets this time of year, so I’ll take it without thinking twice about it. As far as I’m concerned, wide receiver Rome Odunze getting upgraded to full participation on Friday’s Bears injury report is the best news that could have come from the injury report. Odunze w...

Free-falling Flyers must beat Rangers to avoid full-on panic mode

The Philadelphia Flyers were a resilient team in the first half of the season. Through their first 41 games, the Flyers only lost consecutive games five times, and only one time were those back-to-back losses in regulation. Their longest losing streak was three games, but they earned a point in each of those losses against top teams in the Vegas Golden Knights and Carolina Hurricanes. So when the Flyers dominated the Ducks again in a Trevor Zegras revenge game to end the first half o...

‘I already kind of forget what it was like in Edmonton’: Penguins’ Stuart Skinner talks life after trade

It’s been over a month since the Stuart Skinner era ended for the Edmonton Oilers, after he was dealt to the Pittsburgh Penguins in a mid-December exchange that saw the acquisition of Tristan Jarry. In an interview with The Hockey News’ Kelsey Surmacz published Wednesday, Skinner opened up about the trade and his transition to…

This season will be a failure if Rams lose Sunday

If the Los Angeles Rams lose to the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on Sunday, this season should be considered a failure for L.A. Falling just shy of the NFC Championship in one of the most wide-open playoff fields in recent memory will be the nail in the coffin for the Rams’ contender reputation. More […]

5 keys to victory: Can Rams slow down the cardiac Bears?

The Los Angeles Rams are back where they were at this time last year: the divisional round of the playoffs. This time, they will be the team that’s favored and the team with more playoff experience. The Rams are the team looking to get back to the NFC Championship with a chance to go to […]

Rays, Reds, Angels make three-team deal

The Tampa Bay Rays, Anaheim Angels and Cincinnati Reds have made an interesting three-team trade that has former Rangers pitcher Brock Burke going from Anaheim to Cincinnati, Chris Clark going from Anaheim to Tampa, Gavin Lux going from Cincinnati to Tampa, and Josh Lowe going from Tampa to Anaheim. From Anaheim’s perspective, this is a […]

Will Rams coaches be distracted by interviews?

Two days before their divisional round playoff game against the Chicago Bears, Rams coaches are extremely busy interviewing for other jobs. Meanwhile the Bears coaches having nothing to distract them. Nobody is trying to poach from Ben Johnson’s staff this year. Compare that to Chris Shula, Nathan Sheelhaase, and Mike LaFleur. They have a combined […]

LBs coach NaVorro Bowman stepping away from Chargers

The Chargers made rightful changes to their offensive staff this week by firing offensive coordinator Greg Roman and offensive line coach Mike Devlin. With the team also expecting to lose defensive coordinator Jesse Minter to one of the NFL’s nine vacant head coach openings, there’s going to be a handful of new faces in prominent […]

A Doctor Dishes on Cold Weather’s Impact on Football, Chance The Rapper Brings the Hype, Faith in Swift Pays Off, and Other Bears Bullets

A baseball thought before I dive into BN Bears Bullets. Kyle Tucker signing with the Dodgers (mega eye roll, of course) means that the Cubs essentially traded Hayden Wesneski, Cam Smith, and Isaac Paredes for a 90-win regular-season, a playoff series win, Alex Bregman, and a draft pick (that comes Chicago’s way for Tucker signing with Los Angeles). As far as I’m concerned, that looks like a net win for Chicago. OK, we’re on to football things. If you haven’t read Patrick’s Bea...

Zak Kuhr aiming for right balance with defensive play calls

The New England Patriots defense played its best game of the season in the wild card playoff round against the Los Angeles Chargers, giving up only three points and 207 yards of offense. The secret was in the unit’s aggressiveness. Whether it was sending blitzers after Justin Herbert and an outmatched offensive line, or throwing […]
