In a just-for-fun exercise at ESPN today , Jeff Passan picked one perfect offseason move for each of the 12 playoff teams plus 9 other plausibly active clubs. No overlaps or duplicates, so each club gets just one more. The one Passan picked for the Cubs, incidentally, is the one I would pick, too (well, with a little caveat to follow). It’s Japanese ace Tatsuya Imai, who will be posted soon . From ESPN : “The perfect transaction: Even with Tucker expected to leave, the Cubs still h...

Owen Tippett started the season like a man possessed, scoring five goals in his first six games of the season. All the questions about his streakiness was at the time in the rearview mirror. Now, it’s been nine games since Tippett has scored a goal, with only one assist in that time. It’s been a dry spell of sorts for the winger who sometimes looks like he’s got speed to burn. But Flyers head coach Rick Tocchet following Tuesday’s practice said Tippett has to clean up parts of his game in...

While it is possible, I find it unlikely that the Washington Nationals will be shopping at the top of the free agent market. However, I do think and hope that they attack the middle of the free agent market. The Royals 2023/24 offseason is always one I look at and think why can’t the Nationals […]

After their loss to the Detroit Lions, a frustrated Javon Kinlaw defended his teammate Daron Payne, who was ejected from the game in the second quarter after throwing a sucker punch at Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. “I just felt like in the moment we were being cheated, to be honest,” Kinlaw said. “Daron only […]
When Filip Gustavsson signed his five-year, $34 million extension before the season started, the Minnesota Wild's plans didn't actually change all that much.

Well, that games was depressing. Way too many mistakes but still had a chance to tie it up at the end. That is actually incredible. There is a lot of discussion about which players and coaches were most responsible. Obviously, the top two are KOC and JJ McCarthy because the QB controls the offense. The […]
The rivalry means everything, but for Kentucky, it’s just business. It’s rivalry day in the Commonwealth, and that means one thing: Kentucky and Louisville are about to square off again. For Louisville fans, this feels like their moment. They’re at home, they opened as the favorite, and they’re desperate to prove something that’s been slipping […]
The San Francisco 49ers struggled in a 42-26 loss to the Los Angeles Rams over the weekend, getting blown out as they got off to a slow start and just couldn’t manufacture enough stops in the defeat. It was a demoralizing game, as the 49ers had a prime opportunity to get a step in the […]
Ahead of Tuesday’s game in Boston, Craig Berube discussed the defensive adjustments after a leaky weekend, his team’s buy-in defensively, and the decision not to make a change on the blue line against the Bruins.

The usual plan for Ohio State women’s basketball is to hit near the roster-size max, redshirt a handful of players for developmental purposes, and then rotate around 10 players into meaningful game moments. This is not the usual season for the Buckeyes. Head coach Kevin McGuff’s 11-player roster, with only five athletes who saw time […]
The Green Bay Packers’ offense is sputtering. They have no idea how to handle split-safety looks that take the extra coverage defenders into the deeper portion of the field. So far, head coach Matt LaFleur’s answers this year have been to check down the ball in the passing game and to run the football. Unfortunately, […]
