New York Jets Flight Connections 07/14/26

Good morning Gang Green Nation! Geno Smith is in the news again, and not in a good way. Smith was issued citations for speeding and driving without a license in Florida.

Lightning Morning News: The Arbitration Hearings have been set

With a lack of restricted free agents on the roster this summer, the Tampa Bay Lightning don’t have much to worry about over the next couple of weeks. Other teams (cough, Philadelphia, cough) have some work to do. It’s never fun to sit in a room and tell a player why he isn’t worth what he thinks he is, so most of the time the two sides come to an agreement. For a reminder, if any of these players do actually go to arbitration an independent adjudicator listens to the two sides and makes ...

Potential surprise players for the Penguins in 2026-27

Last summer we highlighted potential surprise players for the Penguins with a spotlight on Filip Hallander (no), Harrison Brunicke (kinda but not really), Alex Alexeyev (no) and Arturs Silovs (yep). 1.5 out of four is a .375 batting average that would look pretty good in baseball, at least. With hindsight, there were no shortage of […]

Tuesday Morning Fly By: It’s a waiting game

*Can’t imagine much is going to happen here in the Flyers Cinematic Universe between now and Jamie Drysdale and Trevor Zegras signing their new contracts, whether that happens with an arbiter or it happens before they get there. So we’re all going to be hanging out and waiting. While we wait, let’s think about some possible home runs (get it? derby day and such) Danny Briere can still hit before heading up to the cottage. [ BSH ] *New Guy Noel Acciari is already pandering to us — as he sh...

Rangers Cut Ties With Veteran Infielder

The Texas Rangers have released infielder Jonah Bride, ending a stint that never produced much in the way of big league opportunity. The Signing That Didn't Pan Out Bride signed a minor league contract with Texas in November, a deal that included an invitation to major league spring training camp. The connection made some sense at the time. Rangers manager Skip Schumaker managed Bride with the Miami Marlins in 2024, the best season of the infielder's career, when he slashed .276/.357/.46...
