Earlier this week, I had the great pleasure of reading Gilead, a Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Marilynne Robinson. Just like one loves to go through all the post-match commentary after an enjoyable Manchester United performance, I like to hear about the works that leave a mark on me by the people who made the work.

Getting you set up for tonight’s Jets game.
Upsets by the Jets, Ravens, Dolphins, and Texans ruined a lot of people’s Week 8 picks. As for now, I am staying above the .600 winning percentage mark after 120 contests. As for the Los Angeles Rams, they will return to action with a home date against the New Orleans Saints in Week 9. While the […]

The Jets are on their bye week, but the team is working out a number of players, including free agent quarterbacks. Now it should be noted that there isn’t anything unusual about a team working out free agents. Frequently teams do this just for due diligence. If an injury opens a roster spot, you need […]

The Blackhawks kick off a long road trip on Thursday night up in Canada against the Winnipeg Jets — and franchise icon Jonathan Toews. The Jets are off to a solid start through their first 10 games, sitting at a 7-3-0 record and looking like a team that’s found its footing early — or at least knows how to lean hard on Connor Hellebuyck until the rest catches up.

It isn’t at the United Center, but that likely won’t change the emotions for many Blackhawks fans as they watch Jonathan Toews face his former team for the first time. The Jets come in only 3-3-0 at home (they’re undefeated on the road) and in third place in the Central Division. The Blackhawks, meanwhile, are only two points behind the Jets with both teams having played ten games. Note: Ilya Mikheyev was on the ice with the team for the morning skate, but Blackhawks head coach Jeff Bla...
The writing was on the wall with where the new salary cap market was heading and the Colorado Avalanche decided to finally lock up their top line star Martin Nečas to an eight-year extension.

The New Jersey Devils , despite a stumble against the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday, are off to a red-hot start to the season, at 8-2-0, leading the Metropolitan Division.
