As the Portland Trail Blazers and San Antonio Spurs prepare for Game 3 of their best-of-seven series in the 2026 NBA Playoffs tonight, we took some time with J.R. Wilco of Blazer’s Edge sister site Pounding the Rock regarding the matchup. After previewing the series in our opening conversation, we move to the status of […]
In Thursday night’s first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings addressed one of their biggest needs with one of the Draft’s biggest players, selecting Florida defensive tackle Caleb Banks with the 18th overall pick. Now, as we move into Day 2 of this year’s selection meeting, it’s time to focus on which […]
Day one of the NFL Draft has come and gone. In a night filled with trades, surprising picks, and the Seahawks drafting another running back in the first round, one non-Seattle pick stood out as well. And no, I am not talking about the Los Angeles Rams selecting quarterback, Ty Simpson. Rather, it is the […]
It only took one game to see that Koa Peat was not going to be play at the college level for long. And despite some ups and downs after that, the Arizona freshman is ready to begin his pro career. Peat officially declared for the 2026 NBA Draft on Friday, the final day for players […]
The Nationals looked to even the series with the Braves yesterday afternoon at Nationals Park, and were in position to possibly steal the win going into the 7th inning tied 2-2. Unfortunately, the bullpen let them down once again, as Cionel Perez was tagged for 3 runs after getting just one out, bringing his ERA […]
The Portland Trail Blazers are heading back home knotted at 1-1 with the San Antonio Spurs in the first round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs. After falling 111-98 in Game 1, the Blazers were able to overcome a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit in Game 2, earning a 106-103 victory. With home court successfully stolen, Portland will […]
Luka Dončić has already had a Hall of Fame-caliber career, with this season being his best yet. He averaged a league-leading 33.5 points per game and was named the Western Conference Player of the Month in January and March. But despite the scoring prowess, dominance, and being the best player on a 53-win team, he […]
PHILADELPHIA — Derrick White started getting ‘congratulations’ texts on Thursday afternoon. At first, he didn’t know what for. Then, he realized he had won the NBA’s annual Sportsmanship Award, which is bestowed upon the player who best represents the ideals of sportsmanship on the court. “It’s pretty cool,” White said at Celtics shootaround on Friday […]
The situation for the Phillies has gotten beyond the level of ugliness. It’s so dire that I was actually encouraged by them getting to extra innings before losing on Thursday. On the other hand, the Phillies’ opponents this weekend have had just about everything go right this season. Is it possible that the Braves somehow […]
Welcome to our Wizards player review series. We’ll go through each guy that played meaningful minutes and look back on their season. Here’s Julian Reese. The last games of the Wizards’ season were a testing ground for borderline NBA talent. Nobody else made quite the impression that Julian Reese did, at least on the scoresheet. […]
Today it was announced that Henri Veesaar is officially going into the NBA Draft. Per Matt Norlander, Veesaar intends to stay in the draft, with no intent to return to UNC. When Veesaar transferred to UNC last spring, observers saw the potential for a break-out season. Coming off the bench for Tommy Lloyd in Tucson, […]
Jaden McDaniels made his thoughts incredibly clear after the Minnesota Timberwolves won Game 2 over the Denver Nuggets. “Go at Jokic, Jamal, all the bad defenders. Tim Hardaway, Cam Johnson, Aaron Gordon, the whole team. Like, just go at them.” When asked to clarify, McDaniels doubled down: “Yeah, they’re all bad defenders.” Those comments, not surprisingly, […]
“Mike,” Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider says waving over head coach Mike Macdonald as he is calling the soon-to-be 32nd overall pick in the first round of the NFL Draft, Jadarian Price. Soon after the former Notre Dame Fighting Irish, now Seattle Seahawk running back answered the phone, John told Price, “Hey, man, we’re […]
With the first week of the Stanley Cup Playoffs nearing its end, a side discussion over at SCH HQ between LBR and myself seemed like it’d be good to bring to the people here, as it has some relevancy to the team watching from home (or some beachfront property) that’s being assembled over at 1901 W. Madison. A couple of teams with rather young forward groups have grabbed early headlines, led by the Philadelphia Flyers, up 3-0 on their interstate rivals from Pittsburgh. An also young Montre...
It was obvious that Luke Kennard’s importance was going to rise with the Lakers this postseason with their starting backcourt players, Luka Dončić and Austin Reaves out. What wasn’t known was how well he’d do in that situation. Well, two games in, Kennard is playing some of the best basketball of his career. In Game […]
Shout-out Mike Brown for losing Game 3 by one point, going four-against-five for the whole first half. Shout-out Mikal Bridges, for helping folks forget about him and teaching the world that basketball was meant to be a four-player sport. Here’s the latest from the ATL. Mike Brown On the Game 3 loss and the series […]
Call this a make-up for the fact that we didn’t run a full story on this news item yesterday (no disrespect due to Derrick, who is perfect in every way – it just got lost in the shuffle). I mean, what else is there to say. Derrick is a wonderful human being. I guess it […]
The NFL Draft continues on Friday at 7 pm ET/4 pm PT with the second and third rounds, where the Seattle Seahawks currently have picks at 64 and 96. Thursday’s big run on offensive linemen and some late-round run on wide receivers certainly pushed a lot of would-be first-round prospects down into Day 2. Who […]
Caleb Wilson hasn’t gotten to go through the NBA Draft combine yet, but there’s already a lot of buzz that he could be drafted top three overall. What wasn’t expected, however, is Yahoo Sports projecting that he could go higher than that. In their latest mock draft, they have Wilson being picked second overall by […]

Round 1 of the 2026 NFL Draft is officially in the books, but there is still plenty of action to be had for this year’s selection meeting as we await the start of Night 2. Tonight we’ll get to see Rounds 2 and 3 of this year’s Draft, and this is a portion of the […]
The four NFC West teams made three picks in Round 1, and the Seattle Seahawks further distanced themselves from their respective rivals on Thursday night. In fact, the rest of the West tripped all over themselves in pursuit of the divisional lead that, unfortunately for them, just fell a little more out reach. Arizona Cardinals […]
Before Game 1, I chatted with Dave, my friend who runs PtR’s sister site that covers the Portland Trail Blazers, Blazers Edge. After Game 2, we agreed to pick it back up as the series shifts to the Pacific Northwest. Dave Well, the series is 1-1 and nothing is decided firmly, but the most important […]
