With the NFL Draft finished up, most NFL rosters have more or less been settled. Of course there will be a few veteran signings between now and training camp (see Dante Fowler signing with the Seattle Seahawks), but for the most part rosters are set. This is now the time of year where media and […]
David Blough is the first name to emerge as a candidate for the Detroit Lions’ vacant offensive coordinator position. The Lions certainly have more names in mind that they will consider for the position, but Blough’s emergence has certainly evoked a lot of emotion in Lions fans.

Over the holidays, my father told me he was going to send me a Tim Wakefield bobblehead that he found in a junk pile at his house. I didn’t have high hopes for this, given that description of its provenance, but it arrived last week, and it’s beautiful. Truly awesome. Opening it, I felt moved—by […]
Connor Bedard being on the ice with the Blackhawks for a good part of Tuesday’s practice and his comments about being close to returning to game action got a lot of the attention yesterday (and rightfully so), but it was also good to see Frank Nazar back on the ice for the first time since his injury. Nazar was wearing a full face shield, as expected. Connor Bedard and Frank Nazar getting back to work together pic.twitter.com/jBX5ZY8Fxz — Scott Powers (@ByScottPowers) January 6, 2...

Purdue was almost able to step back onto the top seed line last night even without playing a game. Michigan, who had spent the last several weeks pretty much crushing the skull of any and all opponents, went to the Bryce Jordan Mausoleum and, as happens at least once a year, fell asleep. They escaped […]
January 7 feels like an appropriate time to take down the Christmas lights, right? That’s plenty of spillover time … There are vague rumors and mentions out there this week, as there have been for the last month, but there still isn’t really a lot of HEAT on Kyle Tucker. The obvious top free agent this offseason is probably getting plenty of interest behind the scenes, but there aren’t a lot of very pointed leaks. Even the teams most connected to him – the Blue Jays, the Dodgers, the Me...

It’s unfair for any one game to be a referendum on a player, coach, or team, but that’s almost always what playoff games end up becoming. I think just about everyone understands how limited the Packers are as a team at this point of the season. There’s no Micah Parsons, Tucker Kraft, Elgton Jenkins, or […]
Ah yes, a disappointing conference L to a better, more talented, legit national title contender and the All Is Lost Brigade has emerged. Of course, I’m disappointed. I was truly forlorn as the game slip slided away in the 2d against Duke. But, I try to view in context. Let me start with this reality: […]

The Los Angeles Rams are a wild card road team on Saturday against the Carolina Panthers, but there’s a reasonable possibility that they could be hosting the San Francisco 49ers at SoFi Stadium if they win.

Even with how the Western Conference isn't as strong around the wildcard spots for the playoffs, they will still have to have a strong second half to stay in the race and make the postseason. Their position and certain contracts should be weighing on them and there is one in particular that may be getting moved in the short term. Frank Seravalli spoke with Bob Stauffer and the question of who could be trade...
