Just a few more days left of having to catch myself when trying to reference the previous season and the following season, without simply being able to say “this year” or “last year” in a very clean and easy way. It’s TBD what it’ll actually mean , but The Athletic is reporting that, “The expectation is for Baltimore to remain in the market for starting pitching help” even after re-signing Zach Eflin last night . My hope is that they’re out, so that they aren’t additional competition on...

Bottom Six Minutes: Juraj Slafkovský is at the top of his game

After a much-needed holiday break, the Montreal Canadiens resumed their road trip on Sunday night in Florida against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Bad bounces and broken sticks saw them down 3-0 going into the third period, and it felt like they were going to lose despite a pretty good overall showing through 40 minutes. Instead, they orchestrated a thrilling comeback, forcing overtime and taking one point before succumbing in the shootout. As disappointing as the final result was, their resil...

Where Matt Eberflus went wrong with Cowboys defense

The Cowboys have one game left to play in the regular season, and no decisions have officially been made, but it sure feels like Matt Eberflus will be departing the staff after just one year as defensive coordinator. Not only has Jerry Jones publicly hinted at it, but his recent comments on Eberflus not playing […]

The love of a mother never wavers. No such thing as being too kind to others. And that last Oreo will get […]

UNC begins ACC play with Florida State

For years, when you looked over at the Florida State bench, you’d see Leonard Hamilton roaming the sidelines. The legendary coach ruled the Seminoles for over two decades and was a constant thorn in the side for the Tar Heels. In recent seasons, though, the quality of the Seminoles basketball program suffered as they didn’t […]

Do you think the relief pitching is in a better place?

It’s still the offseason in MLB, a slow slog towards spring training. We usually think of the winter meetings as the time when most of the action occurs, yet here we are on December 29 and there are still a ton of free agents that need a home before equipment trucks depart for Arizona and […]

What was your holiday haul?

This question is potentially premature for some of you (I spent the first couple of decades of my life celebrating New Year’s with basically the same trappings as U.S.-based commercialized Christmas), but we’re going with it anyway. I’m not much of a fan of receiving gifts, but in a much-appreciated attempt to declutter, my holiday […]

The Colts made history in the worst way possible

The Indianapolis Colts have recently become known as a franchise that isn’t afraid to forge a unique path. They brought in an ESPN analyst in the middle of the season to be their interim head coach. Not Jeff Saturday’s fault, but that act set the scene for a 1-7 finish to the year. Look no […]

Morning Skate: West

Welcome to a new week, folks! I find myself still firmly in that “what day is it?” post-Christmas haze, so I didn’t realize the Bruins were playing in Calgary tonight until this morning. We won’t have a full preview for you, but consider this a mini-preview and place to gather until the Public Skate. The […]
