The Wolverines needed a game-winning field goal to beat Northwestern, 24-22, in Wrigley Field. Michigan was in danger of the upset after turning the ball over five times, but were saved by […]
A gray, drizzly Tuesday that began with a broken internet? I knew this Tuesday was going to feel Monday ish , but I didn’t know *THAT* is how it would start. How wretched would this week feel had the Bears lost on Sunday?
Something from my notes that I wish I would have mentioned on Episode No. 9 of The BN Bears Podcast: “My biggest takeway might be that J.J. McCarthy, for 58 minutes, didn’t look like he belonged on a football field as an NFL starter.” That thought encapsulates why it w...
Ohio State made a clear, public push for four-star cornerback C.J. Bronaugh over the UCLA weekend, hosting the Windermere (Fla.) standout on an official visit as the Buckeyes tried to turn the Shoe into a recruiting stage.

It’s a recap article I’ve written far too many times already before Thanksgiving this season. A flat-footed Lions offense got punched in the mouth and never found its footing. The Eagles defense smothered Jared Goff, choked off the passing game, and closed every running lane as the offensive line was overwhelmed and receivers were blanketed. […]

Last week was the second week of the 2025-26 college basketball season. By this point, pretty much every team has played three or four games, and a lot of them have played at least one notable game. The one for the UNC men came last week, where they knocked off Kansas. The women couldn’t quite […]
The 2025-26 Hot Stove League is underway with two transactions by the Padres. Free agent utility player Pablo Reyes, 32, was signed to a minor league contract on Nov. 11. Reyes has seen time in MLB from 2018-2025 with multiple teams. He missed 2020 due to a banned substance suspension. He will most likely get […]
When we begin planning for the offseason here at TGP, I will create a list of all the players that have put on the red pinstripes and we will review them. Some players get jumped on right away because our writers have thoughts about them and want to share them in written form. Bryson Stott […]
You don’t get any extra points for style in the NFL. All wins are equal, but the 49ers’ blowout victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday was different for several reasons. The 49ers have shown their grit throughout the season, with the majority of their victories amid a slew of injuries being close-run grind-it-out contests, […]
The Syracuse Orange women (4-0) are taking defense to heart to start the 25-26 season.

Mike and Dan are in good spirits as the Islanders win four of the first five games of their road trip and show signs of excitement. The seven game gauntlet through several Stanley Cup contenders loomed large on the schedule. But after three electric overtime games, the Islanders were making believers out of many. While […]
The Green Bay Packers got back in the win column on Sunday against the New York Giants, and we’re here doing what we always do. Win or lose, rain or shine, we’re looking at the Packers’ passing game, and today that includes some incredible performances by quarterback Jordan Love and receiver Christian Watson. So let’s […]
The Packers’ 2023 draft class was about as exciting as I could possibly imagine. That year, Brian Gutekunst invested not one, but two top 100 picks on tight ends in what was considered a very tight end-rich class. Between Luke Musgrave and Tucker Kraft, visions of 12 personnel danced in my head, not to mention […]
Free agent projections are out, and so it is that time again — time for the annual “should the Rangers sign This Player” polls. Today, we are looking at starting pitcher Chris Bassitt. Bassitt is a righthander who was a late bloomer, not really establishing himself until the 2019 season. He just finished up a […]
The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the LA Clippers on Monday night in dramatic fashion with a fourth period comeback led by Tyrese Maxey and Quentin Grimes. The game also marked the season debut for Paul George, the nine-time NBA All-Star who has been sidelined to start the 2025-26 campaign. He’s missed the first 12 games of […]
NFL power rankings are supposed to be fun. Some fanbases get to wake up each Tuesday, look around the internet, and debate where their team is ranked each week. They get to either celebrate how good a ranking is or be mad about how much a ranking snubbed them. That, of course, is not the […]
It seemed like things were moving in the right direction in regards to the injury situation for the Tampa Bay Lightning. Jakob Pelletier returned to Syracuse on Sunday after his one-game replacement of Brandon Hagel. Boris Katchouk followed on Monday, an indication that one of their forwards is ready to come back as well. Prior to their game against the New Jersey Devils, the team made a move that would indicate that the busiest place in the building is still the trainers’ room.
The team ...
The Chargers had an excellent opportunity to head into their Week 12 bye with a boatload of momentum had they been able to beat the Jaguars and move to 8-3. However, the exact opposite of the ideal situation happened. The Bolts were blown out by the Jaguars on the road 35-6 behind what had to […]
The Toronto Maple Leafs have a lot of heat on them as they are second-last in the NHL and are below .500. Injuries and poor play haven't helped them, but this is a team that is expected to, at the very least, make the playoffs and have a chance of going on a run. They have the stars to do so and have made the playoffs for many years in a row at this point. David Pagnotta reported, "They've been looking for a puck mover on the back-end, that seems to be amplified a little bit more...and a top-6...
