Jung Hoo Lee detained and released by CBP

Jung Hoo Lee and the San Francisco Giants suffered a scare on Wednesday night, though thankfully all seems to be well. Lee, returning to the states ahead of Spring Training next month, was detained at Los Angeles International Airport by Customs and Border Protection agency. That, unfortunately, is not a particularly surprising item of news […]

Around The NBA: Jimmy Butler Trade? Kuminga’s Return, Buss Family Drama, Injuries Galore, More

The NBA is just about two weeks away from its 2025-26 season trade deadline. With the Eastern Conference fast becoming a hot mess, things could be incredibly active. But the biggest question mark lies in the league’s other conference. The Golden State Warriors now have a Jimmy Butler problem. Could Mike Dunleavy Jr. Trade Jimmy Butler? Golden State’s 2025-26 season with its current roster took a huge hit Monday when Jimmy Butler tore his ACL against the Miami Heat. Giv...

The 49ers have been ‘The Final Boss’ in the playoffs this century

The San Francisco 49ers have had deep playoff runs under Kyle Shanahan. They’ve been in a position to win the Super Bowl twice, been in the NFC Championship, and, most recently, the Divisional playoff round. San Francisco made the postseason multiple times during the early 2010s under Jim Harbaugh, making similar runs. So what do […]

Mel Kiper mock draft: The 49ers finally address OL in the 1st round

Trent Williams is under contract through the 2026 season, but the contract voids after that. So, unless the 49ers extend the then 38-year-old, we have one season left to watch a Hall of Fame left tackle. You’ll always hear about the great organizations getting out a year ahead of the positional need. Theoretically, the 49ers […]

49ers front office member Josh Williams gets another GM request

Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Atlanta Falcons have submitted a general manager interview request for San Francisco 49ers director of scouting and football operations Josh Williams, who was a finalist for the Jacksonville and Miami general manager searches.

Quickley drops career-high 40 as Raptors beat Warriors 145-127

Three-point shooting has been a major need for the Toronto Raptors this season, who are shooting the worst percentage in the league. But that was not nearly the case tonight. The Raptors’s offense erupted in Chase Center Tuesday night, fuelled by a red-hot 21/34 shooting night from beyond the arc and crisp ball movement that […]

Giants legend Carlos Beltrán elected to Hall of Fame

It’s a pretty exciting time for the San Francisco Giants and the Hall of Fame. Sure, Barry Bonds and Duane Kuiper have been passed over more times than I was anytime we picked teams for any sport at the playground. But in December, Jeff Kent was elected to the hall by the Contemporary Baseball Era […]

Lightning run point streak to 14 games with 4-1 win over Sharks

The Tampa Bay Lightning made a rare appearance at Benchmark International Arena on Tuesday night and treated their home fans to a 4-1 victory over the San Jose Sharks. In just their second home game of the month, the Lightning scored twice within 1:28 in the second period to turn a 1-1 game into a 3-1 lead. They never looked back, or really let the Sharks into the game, as they cruised to their second win a row and 14th straight game with a point. Andrei Vasilevskiy was in net for his 21s...

Kiefer Sherwood Extension No Sure Thing in San Jose

The San Jose Sharks won the Kiefer Sherwood Sweepstakes, landing the breakout physical, two-way forward in a trade from the Vancouver Canucks this past week. They beat out a slew of other teams that were trying to acquire him as well. But Sherwood is a pending unrestricted free agent, and his demands on a new contract are extensive -- insider Chris Johnston says the player feels he can finagle a $30 million deal (speculatively in the range of a $5M AAV). So is it a fait accompli that the Shark...

Sharks at Lightning game 49: Lines, game thread and how to watch

The San Jose Sharks need to get back to business today and not spend too much time thinking about everything that happened in Sunrise last night. The Sharks have a tough matchup this afternoon against the Tampa Bay Lightning, a team that has been tearing through the league as of late. The Lightning are 9-0-1 in the team’s last ten games and are sitting atop the Atlantic Division as of this afternoon. Tampa Bay is also the fourth-best team in the NHL, close behind the Minnesota Wild and the Car...
