Coming off a berth in Super Bowl LX, the New England Patriots are in the process of retooling their roster. They made some moves in free agency to improve the foundation, and added some youth in the NFL Draft and rookie free agency. In order not to get lost amid all the movement, here is […]
So long, 2025. It was a long, difficult year, and that’s something the Edmonton Oilers can surely attest to after a second straight Stanley Cup Final loss. They close out the calendar year with a middling 46-32-8 record for a .581 points percentage — the 14th best mark in the league. They closed out last…
First, a brief recap: ReliaQuest Bowl: Iowa 34, Vanderbilt 27 Las Vegas Bowl: Utah 44, Nebraska 22 Citrus Bowl: Texas 41, Michigan 27 Brian Gillis: Michigan played hard in a back-and-forth affair against Texas, but a couple of late Bryce Underwood interceptions paved the way for a disappointing 14-point loss to the Longhorns. A fitting end, you […]
According to Chris Waugh of The Athletic, Newcastle United are entering January in a different PSR position than in recent winters, even if expectations of a major spend remain unrealistic during the winter transfer window. “Newcastle have the capacity to be active during a January window for the first time since 2023,” Hope reported, noting […]
ATLANTA – In the final moments of 2025, the Minnesota Timberwolves put forth one of their worst efforts in a long time against the Atlanta Hawks. In the first quarter alone, the Wolves gave up eight offensive rebounds and 16 points in the paint in a first half they were outscored 70-49. At halftime of […]
The North Carolina Tar Heels appear on the hardwoods for the first time in 2026 on Saturday in Dallas. SMU’s high-powered offense presents a stiff test for a Tar Heel defense that has held 14 consecutive opponents under 75 points, the longest streak to open a season since the 1981-82 championship season. Here are a […]

Spectrum News walks down memory lane as Hawaii football had plenty of memorable moments. From the Tokyo Toe, to Aloha Stadium finally beginning its dismantling, to the 9-4 Warriors.

It’s the new year and it’s time for resolutions. People are going to lose weight, read more, be on their phone less, blah, blah, blah. If we’re talking about making resolutions that we’re just going to break, then mine for the season is to watch less Phillies for my own mental well being. However, let’s […]
One of the things I have brought up in passing is that the Texans defense makes life miserable for opposing quarterbacks. Unfortunately, I have not taken the time to lay that out statistically and that is completely on me. This is a space where we dedicate ourselves to the data side of things. So, we […]
Out with the old, in with the new. There was a time when the Indianapolis Colts ruled the AFC South. Peyton Manning was torching all the division rivals and the Texans were still trying to find their identity. In that same era, quarterback Philip Rivers was gun slinging for the then San Diego Chargers, prior […]
Happy New Years, Bulldog fans! I’ll forgo all the wishes for prosperity and peace t the moment, because it is game day and I have a lot of Munsoning with you people. But first, here’s why I’m NOT worried about the Magnolia State Matriculators: 1. Kewan Lacy is an incredible running back for Ole Miss, […]
2025 may be gone, but the holes in this Red Sox roster are not. With virtually the entire MLB offseason on hold over the last week for the holidays, we enter 2026 with both a Red Sox team that hasn’t participated in free agency yet this winter, and a free agent class that still has […]
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all enjoyed the festivities last night, Nebraska’s bowl game notwithstanding. The new year has started off with the familiar cries here at the Shearer household, mainly by the twins. Take your pick as to whether it’s Briscoe or Helen causing me the issues. All I know is I […]
The Buffalo Sabres have now won 10 games in a row and are in a playoff spot, just two points back of being in a divisional spot. This came after being last in the NHL earlier in the season. With a new GM and what is seemingly a new opportunity, the team is unstoppable and have turned themselves into buyers from sellers. This doesn't mean that the Sabres don't have to trade some players, but in an attempt to build a successful team that will last and to possibly add a bigger player this season,...
PHILADELPHIA – Although the losing result is what hurts Darris Nichols the most, he’s seeing improvement from his Explorers as La Salle turns the page on 2025, and gets into conference play. After three straight losses, including a 52-point thrashing at the hands of second-ranked Michigan last week, the Explorers led for a large majority […]
Meet the Mets Happy New Year, dear Amazin’ Avenue readers! May 2026 hold more wins than losses. Carlos Beltrán did not always have the best relationship with the Mets, but that has all changed in recent years, culminating in his induction in the Mets Hall of Fame. The Mets’ trio of young pitchers are doing […]
The Illini closed out 2025 in historic fashion, when Illinois knocked off Tennessee on Tuesday night in the Music City Bowl in Nashville, 30-28. Trading blows in the first half Tennessee opened the scoring on its opening drive after Illinois’ first possession ended in a turnover on downs (failing to convert on 4th and-7). On […]
It couldn't get any worse for the Miami Dolphins and their rookie offensive line gamble in 2025.
Happy new year! May your 2026 be an improvement over your 2025, whether or not your 2025 was a good year or not. And if you got married, had a kid, and got a promotion last year, well you probably will not have a better year but may it come as close as possible. Last […]

The United States Women’s National Team will be starting early, playing two matches during their January Camp to start the preparations for this […]
2025 was a trying year for both the Colorado Rockies and their fans. A 43-119 record is nothing to brush aside, and hopefully signifies rock bottom for a franchise that exists in the same city as the Colorado Avalanche, Denver Nuggets and Denver Broncos. However, 2026 is a clean slate. There have been a lot […]
The news conference, Mike Gminski’s first as a 76er, was winding down. And now Gminski, just over in a trade from the Nets that day in January 1988, made a beeline for a rack of balls in the corner of the St. Joe’s gym, where the Sixers practiced at the time. Still in street clothes, he […]

The Wisconsin Badgers have been quite an active team in the transfer portal since head coach Luke Fickell arrived, seeing a ton of players both enter and exit the program over the last three years. Unfortunately, those additions haven’t directly correlated to wins, mainly due to struggles on the offensive side of the ball at […]
