The season may have just ended for Liverpool Women last weekend, but they’ve already hit the ground running for the summer transfer window.

It feels like it’s goalie week here at Broad Street Hockey. We’ve taken a look at the possibility of a Dan Vladar extension , why the Flyers should move on from Sam Ersson , and a few options in free agency that Danny Briere should target to pair with his starting netminder. But the trade market is always interesting as well, and it’s somewhere that Briere has found hidden gems throughout his tenure as Flyers general manager. Could he do the same this offseason by trading for a goali...

Chase Robertson had a hat trick and Kyle Lehman scored twice, but Princeton’s offense solved goaltender Preston Hawkins with 14 goals, including five in the […]
Free agent centers don't exactly grow on trees in the NHL these days. Especially ones that are the size of trees. 6'6", 230-pound Michael McCarron is a pending UFA, and the Minnesota Wild "badly want to re-sign him." But they might not get the chance, says insider Michael Russo in The Athletic. While the Wild have cap space and badly want to re-sign him, McCarron almost certainly could make more on the open market since it just takes one team to throw a boatload of cash and term his way....
We are nearing the 10th anniversary of Bob McKenzie's legendary tweet: Trade is one for one: Adam Larsson for Taylor Hall. It's one of the most infamous moves in history, but it's also sexy as hell for hockey fans. A one-for-one swap! No waiting on picks and prospects for years. Just two GMs g...
The Royals announced they have designated catcher Elías Díaz for assignment and recalled infielder Tyler Tolbert from Triple-A.

The Giants OTAs are underway, but things aren’t smooth sailing for the NFC East team, who learned veteran DL Roy Robertson-Harris will now miss the 2026 season, Malik Nabers won’t be back anytime soon, and they’re stuck with their GM for the foreseeable future. DL Roy Robertson-Harris tears Achilles The Giants defensive line continues to […]
The Miami Dolphins released Tyreek Hill, and he has yet to find a new team. That isn't likely to change anytime soon, it appears.
Entering the season, most prospect lists had 3-4 Phillies prospects listed amongst their top-100. Baseball America had three: shortstop Aidan Miller (No. 14), starting pitcher Andrew Painter (No. 32) and outfielder Justin Crawford (No. 75). Baseball Prospectus was a bit more bullish, listing five: Miller (13), Painter (51), starter Gage Wood (77), infielder Aroon Escobar […]
Barcelona are in no rush to talk about Ferran Torres’ future at the club as he heads into the final year of his existing contract at Camp Nou. There have been no talks about extending the Spain star’s contract, even though Robert Lewandowski has confirmed he will leave at the end of the season. Flick […]
In early May last year, Bet MGM released their post-draft NFL Over/Under win totals for all 32 teams. Nine months later the Seahawks (7.5 projected wins) beat the Patriots (7.5 wins) in the Super Bowl. Neither team had even been projected to make the playoffs, much less play in the Super Bowl. But such are […]
This question is pretty straightforward: Which game are you most looking forward to in 2026?

It’ll be the first time that the Packers have a chance to avenge their playoff loss from […]

Eugenio Suárez is back after battling through an oblique issue, returning to the Reds exactly one month since the last time he played on April 22nd. That will immediately add some more thump to a Reds lineup that has been more thumpworthy of […]
As of Friday, May 22nd, 2026 the Portland Trail Blazers still remain without a confirmed Head Coach. After a year of Tiago Splitter filling in as an interim appointment, the Blazers are in a search process for their next leader.

Atlético Madrid have the chance to salvage something — albeit small — as they travel to the East coast of Spain on Sunday night to take on Villarreal CF in a straight shoot-out for third place in the final matchday of this season. Los Rojiblancos haven’t occupied third spot in LALIGA at the close of […]
The San Francisco 49ers’ defense goes as far as Nick Bosa does. Without one of their franchise cornerstones on the field, a depleted defensive line struggled to compete. No team had a lower sack percentage than the 49ers, which was 1.1% lower than the 31st-place team. The 49ers had six fewer sacks than the 31st-place […]
There’s been quite a bit of talk around rule changes in college football this offseason, with expansion being a key topic as deliberations are ongoing on whether to move the College Football Playoff to 24 teams. That’s not the only rule change, however, as the NCAA introduced a new punt formation rule for the 2026 […]
The Atlanta Braves are rolling. After the win yesterday against the Marlins, they now hold sole possession of the best run differential in MLB.

Back in 2018, I launched a Dynasty League with many of the Chicago Bears content creators that you all know and love, and many of them are regular contributors at Windy City Gridiron and 2nd City Gridiron. It’s been a fun league and a few days ago, our guy Jeff Berckes said to me, why […]
