After surrendering another eight goals on Tuesday in an 8-3 loss to the Dallas Stars, the Edmonton Oilers ' goaltending situation is once again the hot topic of conversation around the team. Is a change in the Stuart Skinner/Calvin Pickard tandem needed? More importantly, shouldn't that just be a rhetorical question at this point? According to insider Frank Seravalli on the Bleacher Report Insider Notebook, Oilers' management actually did try to make a move, but the rest of the pla...
If Ohio State is going to walk out of Ann Arbor with a win this weekend, Arvell Reese is the player most likely to decide it, in my opinion. Reese’s combination of size, speed, and football IQ has turned him into a true multi-tool defender for the Buckeyes. A linebacker who can read and fit […]
While football takes the spotlight on Thanksgiving Day, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is one of the biggest nights of the year for hockey. Having Andouille lentil soup for dinner and watching the Penguins game on Thanksgiving Eve is an annual tradition for my family just as much as the turkey and stuffing. With Thanksgiving Eve […]
Even after Dallas’ huge comeback over the Eagles on Sunday, Philadelphia is still the heavy favorite to win the NFC East. But at least the Cowboys’ victory made things a little more interesting going forward, and puts Philly on its heels ahead of a very tough matchup. Dallas got back to .500 in remarkable fashion, […]
November is winding down and the Flyers’ prospects worldwide have been busy in action. Let’s get into some of this week’s top performances.
The News of the Week
It’s been a relatively quiet week around here, all things considered, but there was just one pretty major bit of news that broke yesterday morning — Jett Luchanko has finally been traded to a true contender, and he’ll finish out his junior career in Brantford.
Three Stars

Luchanko certainly — know...
Dan Quinn was back behind the mic before the Washington Commanders returned to practice for the first time since their game against the Miami Dolphins in Spain. They had their bye last week, and held a walkthrough on Monday, but this will be their first full practice as they prepare to host the Denver Broncos […]
1961 The spitball, banned since 1920 in Major League Baseball, remained so after an 8-1 vote by baseball’s Rule Committee. The pitch came back up for question after commissioner Ford Frick advocated for its return, calling it easy to throw and not dangerous to hitters. While no White Sox pitchers were rumored to be throwing […]
Well, last week I went mad at the Philadelphia Eagles’ offense. This week, I’m not as angry as you may expect. I try to judge with process over results, and I think the offense did make ‘some’ improvements in the pass game this week. I probably have low standards at this point, though. The run […]
The Buffalo Bills released wide receiver Elijah Moore on Wednesday, November 26. Moore’s release comes just a day after One Bills Drive signed veteran free-agent wide receiver Brandin Cooks to the 53-man active roster. Initially thought of as a potential dark horse to produce decent results in Buffalo, Moore’s potential just failed to materialize. In […]
While there isn’t much room for optimism when it comes to the 2-9 Las Vegas Raiders, especially after the Week 12 24-10 loss to the Cleveland Browns, cornerback Eric Stokes has been one of the few bright spots on the Raiders’ roster. According to Pro Football Focus, Stokes has surrendered just 203 yards in coverage […]
It became pretty clear prior towards the end of the 2024 season that the St. Louis Cardinals were destined to begin a pretty epic rebuild. Bloated contracts for aging stars that simply weren’t good enough to drag them to contender status led longtime GM slash president of baseball operations John Mozeliak to announce in September […]
Daniel Jones fibula is fine, according to Shane Steichen!
The final damaged Tropicana Field roof panel has been replaced, which means we are on track to have the stadium ready for the April home opener. With the current lease agreement ending after in 2028, the team is certainly feeling some urgency to, as developers like to say, “turn dirt” on a new stadium. We […]
Twelve months removed from Drury’s “open for business” moment, we break down where the Rangers stand now—and which paths forward still exist.
We are back for another week discussing bowl teams. Our team at Mountain West Connection will be releasing our bowl projections each week. This week’s round of projections can be seen below and will likely change as the season progresses. Read our projections below and leave your own in the comments. Mike Los Angeles Bowl: […]
The Buffalo Bills signed former New Orleans Saints wide receiver Brandin Cooks on Tuesday to the surprise of many observers. Cooks had requested his release after not being a large part of the New Orleans Saints’ offense so far in 2025, and the team had granted it a few months into a two-year, $13 million […]
Welcome back to STEP Differential. STEP stands for Sack + Turnover(x2) + Explosive Play Differential. Make sure you’re flipping through pages 2-5 to see everything broken out by component and the overall performance of the STEP Differential in individual games. I recently had someone pull individual game data for me going all the way back […]
The first year of the Bill Belichick experiment at UNC has not gone how a lot of people were hoping. For Belichick, Mike Lombardi, and the coaching staff, they have not been able to overwhelm college coaching and scouting with NFL knowledge like they though they might’ve been able to do. The roster they’ve built […]
Awards season is now behind us, and we are fully entrenched in the offseason. But, between retrospectives on the 2025 Yankees, and awards voting still relatively fresh on the mind, I was brought down a rabbit hole of past MVP voting. There are plenty of Yankees who have gotten surprising first-place votes on MVP ballots, […]
Sometimes, things are just so bad you are better off just flushing it, burning it, forgetting it and move on. This, ladies and gentlemen, is of those times. I know Penn State had a 4-6 record. I’m well aware they were #2 in the preseason poll, bringing back playoff caliber talent. I know we looked […]
Happy Thanksgiving Eve! It’s everyone’s favorite equine writer at the Good Phight continuing with his tradition of providing you with a Thanksgiving post. And for the second straight year, I’ve brought Jared Frank along for the ride. Maybe you’re too tied up with Thanksgiving festivities to want to read much about the Phillies, but let’s […]
You could get whiplash going from Roger Clemens to Carlos Delgado. One is an asshat and one is just a great person. Anyway, Delgado was a one-and-done on the Writers’ ballots. He was on 3.8% of the ballots, which is pretty much criminal. The reason? He protested the war in Iraq by not standing during […]
We’re back! Welcome to the five highest-IQ plays of the week! Sure, we love the high-flying dunks and the deep, off-the-dribble step-back threes, but this is a place for the under-the-radar plays that might not get the credit they deserve. The plays that get the basketball sickos and nerds out of their chairs. The plays […]
The Minnesota Timberwolves have blown two straight games. The first, they led by eight points with a minute left. The second, they led by ten with three minutes left. Andrew Carlson joins Ryan Eichten to try and figure out where the Timberwolves go from here. — In their past five games, the Timberwolves rank 27th in […]
St. John’s got their much-needed win to boost their resume in their 96-81 rout of Baylor yesterday. They will have the chance to pick up another strong win on Wednesday when they take on No. 21 Auburn in their last of three games at the Players’ Era Festival in Las Vegas. This is the game […]
