The New York Islanders made a big addition at the trade deadline, landing veteran center Brayden Schenn from the St. Louis Blues in an 11th-hour deal just before the 3pm ET buzzer. Schenn had to be convinced by GM Mathieu Darche & head coach Patrick Roy, however, to waive his no-trade clause before the deal was consummated. The Islanders, as it turns out, didn't have the same luck with their own player, forward Anthony Duclair. According to insider David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period , h...
The Las Vegas Raiders ended up getting a little something for Geno Smith as they agreed to trade him to the New York Jets. The Jets will get Smith and a seventh-round pick and the Raiders will get a sixth-round pick. It’s the same trade the Raiders worked with the Buffalo Bills on Sunday night […]
Former Jets quarterback Geno Smith will once again be the current Jets quarterback. Adam Schefter reports the Jets will reacquire their former second round pick in trade that involves a late round pick swap. Smith was a second round pick out of West Virginia in 2013. His four year stint with the Jets was tumultuous. […]
Pardon our delay on the game thread this afternoon! It’s spring training for all of us, but we did want to get one set up in case anyone wanted to chime in on the Yanks/Phils road matchup today. Luis Gil will aim to build on his much more impressive last time out in comparison to […]
The Knicks flew to LA, and they made sure to make it look like Hollywood lights don’t translate to winning nights—for New York, at least. The Knickerbockers will remain on the road for a couple more games, yet they will surely get a break as Utah and Indy come up next. Here’s the latest from […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers were very active to kickoff the opening day of legal tampering, the unofficial beginning of the new league year. In total, Pittsburgh made six moves, ranging from re-signings, free agent signings, and trades. In light of those moves, these are my grades for every one of them. CB Asante Samuel Re-signing Samuel […]
Over the last few days, the Mets made their first roster cuts of spring training, cutting five players from major league camp. Jack Wenninger, the only one of the five not on the 40-Man Roster, was reassigned to minor-league camp, while the four players on the 40 were optioned to Triple-A. Those four players are […]
And just like that, the Nets took care of business yet again! We’re streaking! The Memphis Grizzlies were lacking their eight highest paid players. So, Brooklyn used a balance of perimeter offense and size down low to literally out man the Grizzlies. As I predicted, Day’Ron Sharpe did his thing with 19 points on 8-of-11 […]
The Jets were active on the first day of free agency. The team made six additions on the defensive side of the ball through five signings and a trade. The Jets also retained the services of fullback Andrew Beck. A number of starters also departed the team. Quincy Williams, Nick Folk, John Simpson, and Alijah […]
With last night’s 126–118 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers, their second straight defeat, and the Cleveland Cavaliers beating the Philadelphia 76ers 115–101, the cushion the New York Knicks once had in the standings is suddenly very thin. New York now holds just a half-game lead over Cleveland for the No. 3 seed in the […]
Steve Howe was an extraordinary pitcher. Featuring a bowling-ball sinker that he could locate with pinpoint control, his arm talent and tenacity distinguished him from the competition at every stage of his baseball life. He accomplished things on the field that should form the foundation of a proud legacy. Unfortunately, Howe never got the chance […]
The Philadelphia Flyers have been on a roller coaster this past weekend, beating the Pittsburgh Penguins 4–3 in a thrilling shootout victory Saturday night before getting embarrassed at home by the New York Rangers 6-2. Not much has gone right for this team lately, but one positive development has been Matvei Michkov’s shift to the right wing and the effectiveness we’ve seen from the move.
In the wake of the Flyers dealing forward Bobby Brink to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for defensem...
The Vincent Trocheck non-trade is the latest in a series of decisions from Chris Drury that do not add up to a cohesive or effective plan.
As has been the case with all of our coverage surrounding young starting pitchers for the Yankees, their importance to the club early in the year would be hard to overstate. With each of Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodón, and Clarke Schmidt on the shelf to begin the season, depth in the rotation will be vital, […]
Coming off a pair of 84 wRC+ seasons in 2024 and 2025, Luis Robert Jr. was traded by the White Sox to the Mets in late January. The oft-injured 28-year-old Cuban center fielder had been with Chicago since playing rookie ball in 2017. At his very best in 2023, Robert was a force to be […]
With the trade deadline behind us, it is time to take a look at some of the Utica Comets who may be recalled once the Devils are officially eliminated. In this article, I make the case for Topias Vilen’s NHL debut this season. Why Vilen? Originally drafted in the 5th round of the 2021 NHL […]
The Nets are fresh off their first win out of the All-Star break — a STUNNING win over the conference leading Detroit Pistons. Is the Brooklyn the best team in the league now (lol)? Is the Tank in trouble? Either way, with the Nets and Pistons meeting again this week, we wanted to check in […]
Meet the Mets The Mets blanked the Marlins 9-0 behind Zach Thornton’s three scoreless innings and Carson Benge’s three runs batted in. With Juan Soto suiting up in the WBC, A.J. Ewing is seizing his moment at Mets’ camp this spring. Soto did some dugout pushups after hitting balls to the warning track twice. David […]
The Rangers handled the Flyers again, and the top line is suddenly a lot of fun to watch—even if winning right now might complicate the tank.
The New England Patriots had a relatively neutral opening day of the NFL’s legal tampering period on Monday. The franchise signed former Ravens edge rusher Dre’Mont Jones (three years, $39.5 million), former Jets offensive lineman Alijah Vera-Tucker (three years, $42 million) and former Bills fullback Reggie Gilliam (three years, $12 million) but lost the likes […]

Good morning Gang Green Nation! Day one of the legal tampering period is in the books, and it was quite the whirlwind for the New York Jets. The day got off to an early start, with the Jets trading a seventh round pick in the 2026 NFL draft to the Miami Dolphins for safety Minkah […]
