While the standings in the NHL are very close in each conference, there are teams that have separated themselves in the wrong way. In the West, there are three in particular that had higher hopes and are at the point of gearing up to make moves. Chris Johnston said, "It goes Vancouver, Nashville, and Calgary in that order for most likely to start making some moves." These are the last three placed teams in the NHL at the moment. The Vancouver Canucks are in last place with a record of 10-14-3 ...
In the game of the year, the Indiana Hoosiers will take on the Ohio State Buckeyes this weekend in a classic No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchup for the Big Ten Championship Game.

Philadelphia Flyers winger Owen Tippett has become something of a regular in trade rumors, and his recent run of strong play certainly hasn’t quelled the buzz. On the contrary, he’s become hot enough a name in the rumor mill that the Flyers are apparently attempting to throw cold water on any possibility of an imminent move. On the latest episode of 32 Thoughts: The Podcast , NHL insider Elliotte Friedman revealed that Tippett’s name has been floating in trade chatter and inferred th...

When I was a kid, we used to sing “Time is My Friend” by Julie Andrews at assemblies. I didn’t think much of it at the time. At 38, I’m reevaluating my relationship with time. Time is decidedly not my friend. It’s closer to a (literal) mortal enemy. Would a friend ensure that I had […]
The expectations entering this season have made the last month tough for Kentucky fans and the team. Mark Pope and the players feel it just as much as the fans do.

They’ve (sort of) gotten healthier, Anthony Davis is back playing games and this week has been on […]
The Mets enter the Winter Meetings already having added a significant free agent in Devin Williams, and pulled off a swap of two veteran players when they received Marcus Semien from the Rangers in exchange for Brandon Nimmo.

It was a fun few weeks of optimism. Just when you thought the Dallas Cowboys might go on an improbable run toward the postseason, they were undone on the road against the Detroit Lions.

SYRACUSE, NY — For nearly two decades, Syracuse Orange football legend Floyd Little and his wife, DeBorah, were as happy as a married couple could be.

Ranger Suarez Rumors — I know there’s a whole lot of exciting Cubs/Alex Bregman talk out there lately , but don’t let that distract you from the publicly stated and more logical offseason objective: Pitching, pitching, and more pitching.

We also learned that the Cubs can add upwards of $50 million to the 2026 payroll , w...
