Chris Shula is the current defensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams and is considered one of the hottest head coaching candidates in the NFL right now. Obviously, the Titans would prefer an experienced candidate on the lines of Mike McCarthy, Robert Saleh, or even Brian Flores (all people who we will cover eventually). Still, […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. The dust is still settling on the Grayson Rodriguez-for-Taylor Ward trade and everyone in Birdland has an opinion. It was perhaps the most unexpected trade of the Mike Elias era, sending away one of the Orioles’ most high-ceiling (but also high-risk) young pitchers for a 32-year-old outfielder with just one season […]

Maryland football is in quite the hole. In what has been a largely disappointing season marred with injuries and underperformance, the Terps have left themselves needing to capture their last two games in order to become bowl game eligible. Unfortunately for Maryland, one of those two opponents comes in the form of No. 18 Michigan. […]
For the first time this year, I got a huge swing and a miss in my bold prediction. The Detroit Lions never came close to making a turnover on defense, despite the Philadelphia Eagles offense struggling to do much. Detroit’s defense played tough and did all they could against Philadelphia, but only came away with […]

Good morning Gang Green Nation! So much for Lamar Jackson missing the game on Sunday. Jackson practiced in full yesterday after missing practice on Wednesday. He is now expected to start for the Ravens against the Jets. That does not bode well for a depleted Jets defense. Unless the Ravens suffer a letdown or the […]

Phillies news The Phillies signed outfielder Bryan De La Cruz, who played a few games for the Braves last season, to a minor league contract. The […]
We covered this a little bit last week, but I wanted to give you an update on an interesting phenomenon that I’ve found: The Green Bay Packers’ rushing game basically plays up to their opponent’s season-long averages. This is all to say, we might have the most meh run game in the league, even though […]

Mats Zuccarello’s future with the Minnesota Wild is officially in wait-and-see mode. The 38-year-old winger, still riding shotgun with close friend Kirill Kaprizov on the top line, admits he hasn’t decided whether he’ll play beyond this season, the final year of his two-year, $8.25 million deal. After core muscle surgery wiped out training camp and the first 15 games, he wants to use the rest of the year as a personal measuring stick to determine if he still feels good enough to pl...
The Lions are back home for Senior Day against Nebraska in a mid-November “White Out.” How does the staff see this one playing out? Chris Penn State plays its final home game of the season against Nebraska, needing a win to try to get back to .500 on the season and strive for bowl eligibility. […]
Game notes Setting the scene Last time the East Carolina Pirates won a conference title, they were members of Conference USA in 2009. They’re currently in year 12 of American Conference membership, and this is the closest they’ve come to capturing that elusive conference championship, sitting at 5-1 in league play in November. But beware […]

One week after the New England Patriots took care of business on Thursday Night Football, the Buffalo Bills failed to do the same. The team of head coach Sean McDermott suffered a 23-19 defeat at the hands of the Houston Texans, dropping to 7-4 on the season. For New England, this is welcome news. The […]
Maryland women’s basketball was shorthanded against Bethune-Cookman in the Xfinity Center on Thursday, but it didn’t matter. Maryland opened the game on a 20-0 run and the Wildcats never got closer than within 14 points the rest of the way. The Terps eventually won, 95-49, staying undefeated heading into a Sunday contest against a scrappy […]
Artemi Panarin sits at the center of the 2026 UFA drama, and it might not end with him walking straight to July 1. With the New York Rangers unwilling to keep his $11.6 million cap hit rolling into his late 30s and Panarin reportedly uninterested in a pay cut, the door is wide open for a blockbuster. If the Rangers slip in the standings before the March 6 trade deadline, they’re expected to at least explore asking him to waive his no-move clause. That’s where Sportsnet insider Nick...

Throughout training camp, Green Bay Packers rookie second-round pick Anthony Belton had practiced exclusively at the tackle positions, in a backup role, for the Packers. To me, that was somewhat understandable, since Travis Glover was placed on the injured reserve early on and Kadeem Telfort, who was a roster bubble player to begin with, would […]

The Kentucky Wildcats have struggled to start this season as they have flopped in games against Louisville and Michigan State.
