On the Detroit Lions’ final injury report of the week in the lead up to their Christmas Day bout with the Minnesota Vikings, the team did not even list starting center Graham Glasgow with an injury designation. He was good to go after tallying two full practices this week—albeit in walkthroughs, not actual practices. So […]
Well, well, well. The San Antonio Spurs are proving that the Oklahoma City Thunder are not so mighty after all. The Christmas Day victory marks their third against them in 12 days and eight in a row, which has given them a ton of street cred, as they got it done in style. De’Aaron Fox […]
BOSTON – For the first time since 2015, the Celtics didn’t get a Christmas Day game. In hindsight, that was an undeniable mistake – even without Jayson Tatum, they hold the Eastern Conference’s third-best record and the NBA’s sixth-best net rating, powered by an MVP-caliber season from Jaylen Brown. But the scheduling oversight didn’t prevent […]
The NHL is on break for Christmas, but the hockey world can now turn its collective attention to the start of the 2026 IIHF World Junior Championship , which begins today in Minnesota. There will be a lot of players already drafted by NHL teams competing in the tournament. There are also some who are eligible for the 2026 NHL Draft. Corey Pronman and Scott Wheeler at The Athletic wrote their list of the top prospects — drafted and eligible — in the tournament. That mix makes considering p...
In Today’s Links: an examination of the deviations between our Seattle Seahawks and the Carolina Panthers, Josh Jones looks to be starting again in place of the injured Charles Cross, a bit on Mike Jackson and his view of Sunday’s match-up with his former team, Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s chances of being named the NFL’s Offensive Player […]
You’d have a hard time beating this from Giannis Antetokounmpo, aka the Greek Freak. Check out what he said in 2023 about if he had gone to college: “I’m 6’11” and I can handle the ball, pass and get in the paint. You see players like that [at Duke]: Zion Williamson, Jabari Parker, Jayson Tatum, […]
Update, Dec. 26, 1:45 p.m. ET: VJ Edgecombe, Dominick Barlow and Quentin Grimes have all be upgraded to probable (illness). Joel Embiid (right knee injury management) remains questionable. Hopefully two days off was enough time for the Philadelphia 76ers to flush the memory of their last performance. The Sixers are back in action on Friday […]
Media days are done. Training camp is complete. And in less than two weeks, Unrivaled tips off. The now eight-club 3×3 professional league launches its second season on Jan. 5, with two sets of double headers. In addition to two new clubs, plus a development player pool, the league co-founded by Breanna Stewart and Napheesa […]
Welp, the season is over. Although there is still a game next week against the Chicago Bears, the Detroit Lions have nothing to play for but a winning record. Heading into the Christmas Day showdown against the Minnesota Vikings, the Lions still had the possibility of making the playoffs. What they needed was to win […]
Ever since the Toronto Raptors played the first Christmas Day on Canadian soil in 2019, the post-holiday season hasn’t been kind to the team. Since that historic moment, the Raptors are 1-4 in their first game back from the holidays, with their lone victory coming against the Washington Wizards in 2023. Despite the festivities around […]
As we discussed recently and as you’ve probably heard a lot by now, the anticipated Top Three picks in next June’s NBA Draft are BYU’s AJ Dybantsa, Kansas’ Darryn Peterson and Duke’s Carlos Boozer. In this article, CBS’s Adam Finkelstein still has it Peterson, Dybantsa and Boozer, but unless there is a clear standout that […]
The Detroit Lions are not in a good place right now. They’ve been eliminated from playoff contention, they’re on a three-game losing streak, and they’re currently playing some of the worst football they’ve played in the Dan Campbell era. It’s extremely concerning to see the team take this big of a step back and do […]

Last Tuesday, when the Spurs won their home game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Victor Wembanyama took to center court to engage the fans in a little jubilation. Wemby led the arena in a routine he and the Jackals have been working on. The Jackals, a rowdy bunch formed by the Spurs big man, was […]
The New England Patriots are officially back in the playoffs, but work remains as they look to close out the AFC East division during the final two weeks of the regular season. That will start with a matchup against the Jets, where a win paired with a Bills loss to the Philadelphia Eagles will clinch […]
Injuries can be really devastating for basketball players. Grant Hill’s career was ultimately defined by injuries and then the immense courage he showed in overcoming them. Jabari Parker’s career was knocked sideways by ACL injuries and he’s now in Europe instead of the NBA. And then there’s Harry Giles. Like the last two mentioned, Giles […]
