There's some serious competition for the sports fans' dollars in Seattle these days. Between the Seahawks, the Mariners, and the 'coming soon' rebirth of the SuperSonics, the Seattle Kraken are quickly losing relevance. The team will miss the playoffs for the third straight season. Major changes are needed. In fact, a complete overhaul, writes Matt Calkin in the Seattle Times. The fervor surrounding this franchise has dwindled down to a flicker over the past three years. .. ...
Pauly: Alarming lack of depth on display There hasn’t been much change in United’s underlying numbers between Ruben Amorim and Michael Carrick this season. The magical secret to Carrick’s success has mostly been he’s put his best players out on the pitch and used them in their most effective roles. Well, what happens if those […]
After an absolute rollercoaster of a regular campaign for the Philadelphia 76ers, we have finally made it to the postseason. When the dust finally settled on the final games in the Eastern Conference on Sunday, the Sixers ended up as the No. 7 seed with a record of 45-37. With that finish, Philadelphia is set […]
The Seattle Seahawks don’t have to ponder who their starting quarterback will be in 2026, but the Super Bowl champions don’t have to ignore the position completely when the NFL Draft comes around next week. Former Illinois quarterback Luke Altmyer recently revealed in an interview with Sports Illustrated that the Seahawks are among the teams […]
The shirt was white, the sweater blue and the tie spiffy. Diamond studs sparkled in both of VJ Edgecombe’s earlobes, and he wore Gucci sunglasses. Indoors. At night. Impressive as the ensemble was, Tyrese Maxey was thinking more about the calendar than he was clothing as his backcourt partner strutted across the Sixers’ locker room […]

After falling to the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday afternoon, the Oilers returned to Rogers Place for their final two regular-season games of the year.

The 2025–26 Mavericks season didn’t just fall short of expectations. It unraveled almost immediately, forcing everyone involved to confront how fragile the foundation really was. This was a team that entered the year expecting to compete right away, expecting to be playing meaningful basketball deep into April, and instead looked disjointed from the opening week. […]
Andre Burakovsky arrived last summer as a reclamation project, a two-time Cup winner acquired from the Seattle Kraken in exchange for Joe Veleno, given a shot at rediscovering his game with a change of scenery and a promising young centre to skate beside. Through the first half of the season, it actually worked. By January 9th, Burakovsky had 29 points through 38 games, and he was playing some of the best hockey he had in years alongside Connor Bedard. ANDRE BURAKOVSKY THAT W...
This video is an attempt to put Cooper Flagg’s rookie season in context, and it makes some interesting points, particularly statistically. The narrator compliments Kon Knueppel, but argues that Flagg’s season has been on a completely different level. He compares his rookie season to what LeBron James did in his first year in the league, […]
On a sunny August afternoon, I sat down with Payton Pritchard to discuss the reality that the upcoming Celtics season was being widely deemed a Gap Year. He laughed. “There’s only one mindset, always,” he told me then. “I’ve never been on any team in my life where the mindset wasn’t to try to compete […]
It will be a clean slate for the Miami Heat ahead of a win or go home play-in duel on the road versus the Charlotte Hornets.

Fate is a complex concept. Maybe you believe in it, thinking something beyond your worldly perception is pulling you in a certain direction. Perhaps you’re skeptical, steadfast in the belief that your destiny is what you make it. Dominick Barlow is quick to dismiss it. “I don’t believe in fate at all,” he told Liberty Ballers […]
The Hawks faced a crisis just five games into the season. The star point guard — one of the highest usage players in the league — went down with a knee injury that eventually saw him miss the better part of two months of action. How would they find enough offense to compete down such […]
This season, all the playoffs will be added to a nationally televised broadcast schedule. In the past, the first round of playoffs featured the local play-by-play and color analysts that fan know and love. As Spurs fans, it is hard to recall the playoffs without Bill Land and Sean Elliott. It was always hard to […]
Ohio State’s season is over, but the pressure around the program is not. If anything, it has intensified. March Madness has wrapped up, a national champion has been crowned, and now everything shifts toward response. The conversation is no longer about what Ohio State was. It is about what comes next, and how quickly the […]
Alas, the 2026 NBA postseason is upon us. It took a while to get here. About six months, in totality. The regular season was an entertaining one, for sure. Let’s not get that mistaken, however, it became a war of attrition, on many fronts. Some teams limped across the finish line. The Los Angeles Lakers […]

Who’s ready for NBA Playoff Basketball?? Well, if not, you’ve got a little bit of time left, because the next few days are THE PLAY-IN TOURNAMENT, which is somehow not the Playoffs, but is also not the regular season, and also not the playoffs, at least in terms of tracking stats. IN ANY CASE, that […]
The TCU women’s basketball team has another first-round draft selection and she’s now the highest draft pick in program history. All-American and All-Big 12 guard Olivia Miles, who led the Horned Frogs to a Big 12 title and a second consecutive Elite Eight appearances, was taken by the Minnesota Lynx with the No. 2 overall […]
The Chicago Blackhawks turned in another sloppy, turnover-filled mess on Monday night, falling 5-1 to the Buffalo Sabres in their second-to-last game of the season. At least it’s almost over. The Blackhawks opened the scoring just over four minutes into the game. Ilya Mikheyev intercepted a pass from Rasmus Dahlin, skated the puck out before passing it ahead to Ryan Greene, and Greene flipped it upstairs for a shorthanded goal. GOAL: Ryan Greene with a shorthanded goal to open t...
