This was an odd Philadelphia Eagles defensive performance to assess, as it was far from perfect on a down-to-down basis, but full of big plays that swung the game. The defense gave up yardage and made mistakes, yet still created two interceptions, scored a defensive touchdown, and held the Minnesota Vikings to just one touchdown […]
The J.J. McCarthy situation continues to be weird. McCarthy, whom the Minnesota Vikings traded up to select in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, is set to miss his fifth consecutive game because of an ankle injury. The University of Michigan product suffered an ankle injury in the team’s Week 2 win against the Atlanta Falcons. However, there is a belief in some circles that McCarthy’s injury is actually an excuse for a soft benching. And while I do not dabble in conspiracy theories, ...
The big news out of Portland Trail Blazers practice on Tuesday: Jrue Holiday, Shaedon Sharpe, Toumani Camara, Deni Avdija and Donovan Clingan will form Portland’s starting lineup for Wednesday’s regular-season opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves. “I feel like we have seven starters on this team, I really do,” head coach Chauncey Billups told reporters in […]
The Portland Trail Blazers have announced the starting lineup for opening night of their 2025-26 regular season against the Minnesota Timberwolves. As Blazer’s Edge press-row writer Conor Bergin reports, the five-man unit will include Jrue Holiday, Shaedon Sharpe, Deni Avdija, Toumani Camara, and Donovan Clingan. Missing from that group is 12-year veteran Jerami Grant. Grant […]
Today marks the beginning of the 2025-26 NBA regular season schedule. The Portland Trail Blazers open their new campaign Wednesday at 7:00 PM, Pacific against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the Moda Center. In preparation for the big event, we’re previewing the season ahead. Today we’re going to catch you up on all the changes the […]
Losing that game really sucked because it was there to be won. In my opinion, the play of the QB doomed the offense on some critical plays. There were a couple of plays that seemed boneheaded. You really do not expect a veteran QB to do dumb things or not see a player in the […]
This was one of the best games of Jalen Hurts’ career. Against the Minnesota Vikings, Hurts finished with a perfect passer rating (158.3), completing 19 of 23 passes for 326 yards and three touchdowns. The ball placement, timing, command, and confidence were all elite. This Philadelphia Eagles performance was a weird one to break down. […]
The Minnesota Wild must upgrade their top-six. Mats Zuccarello is still injured, and they are stuck with slotting both Vladimir Tarasenko and Marcus Johansson in their top six. Both Marco Rossi and Joel Eriksson Ek have to deal with their production plummeting when they’re not playing with Kirill Ka...
Scott Servais is the latest name to surface in the Orioles’ search for a new manager. The New York Post’s Jon Heyman reports that the O’s have interest in the former Mariners skipper, but it isn’t known if Servais has been formally interviewed by the team. Reports also emerged yesterday that the Twins were considering…
Annie Potts usually isn't in a hockey story, but this image seemed perfect considering the line she delivered while standing in a firehouse in New York City. One could make the case that Madison Square Garden needed a fire lit in it for tonight's game as the New York Rangers hosted the Minnesota Wild while looking to reqrite the histroy books when it came to scoring goals at home. As you may recall, the Rangers hadn't done that yet , and they stood 7:19 away from breaking the NHL's all-time re...
Bread is served—but not much else. Artemi Panarin snapped the home goose egg, yet the Rangers couldn’t build on it as Minnesota controlled nearly everything else.
That's Wild It's always nice to see a player's first. Danila Yurov was able to net his first NHL goal during the Minnesota Wild's 3-1 win over the New York Rangers Monday night. Kirill Kaprizov was his typical self, Jonas Brodin got on the stat sheet, and Filip Gustavsson was cool and collec...
“But if I ran the zoo…I’d make a few changes…that’s just what I’d do” The last two months of the 2025 Twins season produced some of the most painful-to-watch baseball this side of 2011-2014 & 2016—if not the That Which Shall Not Be Named late-1990s. Assuming that no major reinforcements are on the way, I […]
Can you believe we are a decade into this opening night predictions? I have to take a quick moment to shout out our previous Canis Hoopus overlords, John Meyer (FAQ incoming), Eric in Madison, Kyle Theige, and Jack Borman for setting a foundation of tradition and pinpoint forecasting abilities. If you really want a few […]
*Turns out if you put the Flyers up against a team with which they are evenly matched, things get really fun! RECAP ! *You may have noticed that last night, Dan Vladar got his second start in a row. Interesting, no? [ BSH ] *You may remember Matvei Michkov being benched (again) in the Flyers’ win over the Wild. Rick Tocchet had some Reasons for that, apparently. [ Inquirer ] *Rick Tocchet also said he seems some Mikko Rantanen in Owen Tippett. Boy would it be nice if that were t...

The first Centennial Night began with promise and Panarin’s goal. But the Rangers couldn’t sustain it, falling flat again at MSG.
As they do every time a team plays on Thursday Night Football, the Chargers posted an injury report that’s described “estimated,” or rather an injury report made up of names of what they would have expected if they actually went through a real practice. In all, nine players were on the estimated report. Defensive tackle […]

The Eagles were able to pull off a win over the Vikings in Week 7, and did so with one of the most impressive passing games in Jalen Hurts’ career. The quarterback spoke to reporters afterward and talked about losing motivated him, how the offense worked together as a collective, and also how DeVonta Smith […]
The Portland Trail Blazers took the practice floor in Tualatin on Monday morning with just two more days to prepare for their regular-season opener against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday. However, the talk of the town wasn’t about the Timberwolves; it was about what happened over the weekend. Toumani Camara and Shaedon Sharpe, two key […]

The early betting odds certainly reflect that sentiment. According to FanDuel, the Vikings are currently a 3-point underdog as they prepare to head […]
The Wolves Didn’t Come This Far to Only Come This Far You can count the truly great Timberwolves seasons on one hand and still have fingers left to point at old scars. 2004’s Big Three run. The Ant-KAT breakthrough that torched Phoenix and toppled Denver. Last spring’s sequel where a disjointed regular season suddenly turned […]
