Liverpool locked down a place in the Round of 16 of the Champions League with Wednesday’s 6-0 thumping of Qarabag FK that means they finish third in the league phase of Europe’s premier cup competition. For a side that has struggled as much as the Reds have at times this season, it’s unquestionably a big […]
This week’s Ombudsman Report cleans up the record, relitigates NHL trade disasters, and asks the uncomfortable question: will the Rangers actually get this one right?
Meet the Mets Outside of some minor moves the Mets are most likely done adding this offseason. The team has not shown any recent interest in Austin Hayes after they signed Luis Robert Jr. Manager Carlos Mendoza dropped some hints as to how he would construct this year’s lineup on a recent podcast appearance.

Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
The Miami Dolphins are going through a full overhaul of their coaching staff, and one of their former assistants just got a major promotion with the rival Jets.
Last year, on July 31st, the New York Yankees traded prospects Roc Riggio and Ben Shields to the Colorado Rockies in exchange for right-handed reliever Jake Bird, who had a 3.49 FIP to that point, albeit with a 4.73 ERA, in 53.1 innings. Unfortunately, he imploded upon reaching the Bronx, and just three outings were […]
After a tough loss to the Islanders at home on Monday, the Flyers hit the road again looked to shake that off and tap into some of the truly remarkable success they’ve found on the road so far this season. Their first stop brought them to Columbus last night, where they needed pretty desperately to find a way to hit the reset button, and get themselves back in the win column in short order.
What unfolded, though, was a somewhat stale effort from the team on the complete level of their off...

A game the Rangers lost 5-2 against the New York Islanders. Panarin has reportedly been told if he doesn't approve a trade o...
Last Devils Game On Tuesday, the Devils lost their second game in a row to the 29th place Winnipeg Jets. Yes my friends, the Devils lost to a team that only has a better record than 3 other teams and more win than 2 other teams. The teams went goal for goal in the first […]
Good morning Gang Green Nation! The New York Jets pivoted quickly to hire a defensive coordinator after a reported Wink Martindale deal fell through. The Jets hired former Miami Dolphins assistant Brian Duker as their new defensive coordinator after just one virtual interview. The process seemed rushed, but at least the Jets finally have a […]
The Islanders met a moribund rival and soundly defeated the Rangers, who logged their fewest shots ever in the history of this derby rivalry. That team over there looked to be sleepwalking, outside of a few dangerous chances that the Isles maddeningly conceded. Maybe it was a bit of numbed shock in reaction to Artemi […]
The offseason weeks continue to blow by as we’re nearly done with January already, and spring training is officially around the corner. The Yankees’ retooling appears all but over barring a last-minute deal falling into place, and while Brian Cashman has done his best to defend against the impression that they’re just running back last […]

MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: After spending most of the offseason re-signing members of the 2025 team, Brian Cashman is pushing back on the narrative that this year’s team will be much the same as last year’s. “I disagree that it’s the same team, running it back,” the Yankees’ GM said. “It’s going to be some […]
