Even before the starting whistle blew in its game against No. 2 seed Michigan State (11-3-5, 7-1-3 Big Ten) in the Big Ten Tournament quarterfinals, No. 7 Northwestern (9-4-7, 4-2-5 Big Ten) was riding a high. The ‘Cats seemed ready to continue their winning streak after a late 1-0 win against No. 10 USC in […]

Your Monday edition of the Links, News, and Notes!
On Monday afternoon, the Atlantic Coast Conference announced game times and television coverage for Week 12 of the 2025 College Football season. Another mid-day matinee for the Canes. Miami is ranked #18 in both the AP and Coaches polls after losing another game they shouldn’t have, 26-20 to SMU in overtime on Saturday afternoon. Miami […]
If you’d told me beforehand that Georgia Tech would punt only one time and NC State still would win by multiple scores, I’d have said, sir, this is some clearly crazy talk and please do not insult my intelligence in this manner. Yet somehow this is what happened. But NC State only punted twice itself, […]
The Jets are getting ready to depart Winnipeg with a three-game win streak sitting right at the top of the NHL standings (in 2nd spot). The only question mark from a health perspective was Gustav Nyquist and potentially if either Dylan Samberg and Cole Perfetti are out of the yellow, non-contact jerseys. Skate news: Adam […]
According to multiple reports, the Mets are circling Justin Willard as their new pitching coach. Willard, 35, who was most recently the director of pitching for the Red Sox last two seasons, also coached and coordinated for the Twins from 2017-2023. If hired, Willard will join new arrivals Kai Correa (bench coach), Jeff Albert (director […]
Happy Monday. I will admit, I’m ok with no longer having GameThreads and Game Recaps hanging over my head every day. Getting into the off-season routine will take a few days; there is enough to discuss about the season just passed to carry us through to the new year. The Jays have four days where […]
With the UEFA Champions League group stage heating up, Fantasy managers are looking for that perfect balance of form, fixture, and fortune. Matchday 4 brings some standout options across all positions — and with Arsenal and Inter still boasting flawless defensive records, those clean sheet points look ripe for the picking. Here’s a breakdown of […]

Newcastle United suffered a very embarrassing loss yesterday, 3-1 to Premier League bottom feeder West Ham United. Adding injury to insult, the Magpies now have two new fitness concerns, in Kieran Trippier and Anthony Gordon, ahead of the visit from Athletic Club on Wednesday night. Both players are basically 50/50 propositions for the midweek UEFA […]

Who can earn a spot on the first PWHL Vancouver roster? These 9 camp invites have a shot.
Most Cleveland Browns fans are in one of two camps coming out of their Week 9 bye week: “Please fast forward to the 2026 NFL draft” or “Please do something, anything to make this offense better.” With the New York Jets next up on the schedule, the latter could happen in much the way that […]
The end of Miami Dolphins GM Chris Grier's tenure could very well be the catalyst that gives the franchise a desperately needed shot in the arm.
The Mariners reached their attendance goal in 2025. They’ll reach for more next year. Just over 2.5 million fans attended regular season games at T-Mobile Park in 2025. That was the target the team set before the season, Mariners’ Chief Operating Officer Trevor Gooby told the Ballpark Public Facilities District last week. “The team connected […]
All it takes is one big win to rinse a lot of stink off of a two-game losing streak, and that’s what the Steelers did on Sunday when they defeated the No. 1 offense in the NFL. Pittsburgh handed the Indianapolis Colts a 27-20 loss and remains two games ahead of the Baltimore Ravens for […]
As Liverpool prepare for their Champions League clash against Real Madrid, the injury situation appears to be largely unchanged from over the weekend for Arne Slot, as the manager looks set to have the recently returned Ryan Gravenberch available for selection but isn’t expecting anyone new to join him. The closest to making a return […]
Every week our staff gets some odds on Ole Miss from our friends at FanDuel Sportsbook on how the Rebels will fare, and you’ve no doubt read how to get somewhat more rich following our betting guidance. This week is a little different because the No. 7 Ole Miss Rebels (8-1, 5-1 SEC) are playing […]
You can only try to come up with so many different ways to say the same thing, but maybe it’s the best to make it extremely simple: The Philadelphia Flyers had a very bad weekend and head coach Rick Tocchet is asking some questions of his roster.
After losing a disheartening game against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday, the very next day the Flyers hosted the NHL’s worst team in the Calgary Flames. And they applied almost zero offensive pressure in the 2-1 loss — a performance that is...
The Calgary Flames have had a very poor start to the season and some things are going to change. The first thing that is going to happen is that players start being moved. Two players in particular have been called into question about their fits with the team moving forward. Frank Seravalli said, "I think you'd have to begin to have the conversation about whether or not you think (Morgan) Frost and/or (Joel) Farabee have fit." Considering the age and production of Frost and Farabee in comparis...
With the official start of the offseason yesterday, eight Mets have become free agents: None of these eight free agents are realistic candidates to receive a qualifying offer, which is set at $22.02 million for the 2025-26 offseason. Helsley might’ve been the most likely candidate among this group prior to the 2025 season, but players […]
The Rangers finally have chemistry. And now Trocheck’s return could test it. Should Sullivan tinker or stay the course?
Well, that probably had to happen at some point. The vibes were too high. Simply too high, you know? It didn’t seem possible for the Spurs to lose, or for Wembanyama to play poorly, or for everyone on the team to just… not really show up. But it happened. It was a bad one from […]
There was no bye week hangover for the Los Angeles Rams as they dominated a New Orleans Saints team making a quarterback switch. There is always concern about the Rams playing down to their opponent, but they dominated this one from start to finish, winning 34-10. This is a Rams team that seems focused after […]
