The New Mexico Lobos faced a lot of postseason pressure, but they answered with one of their strongest performances of the season on Thursday night in Mesa. No. 4 seed New Mexico used big offense and solid pitching to beat No. 5 seed Nevada 13-4 at Sloan Park. This opening-round win in the Mountain West […]
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.

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 […]

If you’re a Habs fan, there was a lot to like in the Montreal Canadiens’ 6-2 dismantling of the Carolina Hurricanes in game one of the Eastern Conference final. It wasn’t without its moments that reminded everyone why the Hurricanes have been touted as Stanley Cup favourites, but the Habs figured out how to use the aggression of Carolina against them. Their top line reminded everyone what they’re capable of at five-on-five, and they allowed just a single shot against in a third period they ent...

Heading into OTAs, fans were incredibly interested to see how the defensive backfield looks with the additions of S Emmanuel McNeil-Warren, S Daniel Thomas, and even the “underrated” UDFA cornerback from West Virginia, Michael Coats Jr. Despite expectations, CB Myles Bryant has emerged as the standout amongst the team’s newly added defensive backs, drawing attention […]

Tyson Foerster came into this season as one of the Flyers’ best kept secrets, and was seemingly primed for a breakout campaign where he would push for his first 30 goal season. As the year began, Foerster seemed well on his way, he put up 10 goals in his first 21 games, and was on a 40 goal pace heading into early December. He looked like someone who was going to be instrumental on both ends for a team desperate for goal scoring, and elite defensive forwards. Then, the injuries started.&n...

Instead, the thought was that the two running backs would split the workload […]
Over the course of this five-part series, where I’ve gone through the questions that will define what is arguably the most consequential offseason in Edmonton Oilers history, I’ve looked at a lot of different things. I kicked things off with a look at the coaching staff, which was clearly the first question that the organization…
The 2026 Western Conference Finals feature three very particular players: (1) a tall, lanky unicorn of a player who can move like a guard and shoot lights out from long range; (2) an explosive point guard (drafted fourth overall in his class) who is a triple-double threat on any given night; and (3) a left-handed, […]
The first matchup of the Red Sox and Twins, in Minnesota, was memorable for two things: Garrett Crochet getting hit so hard he’d eventually land on the IL, and the big breakout (of 2026) for Connelly Early. As they flew home to host the Tigers, the Red Sox stood at a 7-11 record, the opposite […]
Newcastle United are continuing their search for a new goalkeeper, with fresh links pointing to a goalie from the German Bundesliga. According to Sky’s Florian Plettenberg, the Magpies are actively working on a deal for Werder Bremen’s Mio Backhaus and might be close to reaching a deal for their potential new No. 1 keeper. “A […]
Newcastle United have made a late move to keep Fabian Schar at the club, despite expectations he would leave this summer. Eddie Howe himself revealed the news of Newcastle’s new contract offer to Schar, with his current deal set to expire in July. The 34-year-old defender is out of contract at the end of the […]
It is clear to see what the Washington Nationals need in the present and the future. The Nats need pitching, and badly. This Nationals offense has shocked the baseball world by leading the entire sport in runs scored through 51 games. However, they have also allowed the most runs in baseball, which is why they […]
The Cubs today announced that one of their top prospects, 2B/3B Pedro Ramírez, has been promoted to Chicago to make his major-league debut.
