The NFL expansion cities conversation is one I’ve been waiting to have properly for a while, because the league has been flying to Melbourne and Rio and Madrid while entire American cities with millions of people sit there with nothing, and now a guy connected to Tom Brady and the Raiders just dropped that 34...

The Jordan Staal Conn Smythe win was the story last night, and the Carolina Hurricanes were not leaving Las Vegas without the cup. Congrats to the Canes and their fans, it has been a long time coming to be honest. They have been a premier team in the Eastern Conference for damn near a decade...

I’m not sitting here and watching five teams waste this. The White Sox are leading the AL Central, the A’s are at the Wild Card cut line, the Marlins are on a nine-game win streak, the Cubs are half a game out of a playoff spot, and the Pittsburgh Pirates are right there with Paul...

Every Tarik Skubal trade conversation in baseball is about to get very real, because the man has back-to-back Cy Young awards, the best single-season K-to-walk ratio in the history of Major League Baseball at 13.14, went 18-4 with a 2.39 ERA in 2024 to win the AL pitching Triple Crown, then posted a 2.21 ERA...

Jordan Staal’s scoring streak through five straight Stanley Cup Finals games has been the story of this series, and last night only made the case louder. Once considered regular season merchants have done a complete 180 on the narrative this season. They also did a 180 on their second period performances throughout this series. Carolina...

I need to warn you about three teams this year, and I hate that I have to start with the Bengals. Genuinely hate it. I’m a Steelers fan. But I’d be doing you a disservice if Cincinnati wasn’t at the top of this list because I’ve watched that offense take my team apart enough times...

We have a tied series after the opening four games, the Mike Babcock Oilers situation is somehow real, Jordan Staal is making Finals history, and the NHL handed us more drama this week than any sport deserves. Let’s get into it.. We had incredible drama once again take place in game 4. Carolina shot out...

The 2026 Stanley Cup Final has given us three games and three moments that don’t happen in real life. I’m almost at a complete loss for words for what happened. It’s one thing if you have one crazy game in a series, and sometimes you might even get two. Well, through three games in the...

Look at that trophy case. Six Art Ross Trophies. Three Hart Trophies. One Conn Smythe. One Rocket Richard. Five Ted Lindsay Awards. The only player in NHL history who has won the Ted Lindsay five times is Wayne Gretzky. Connor McDavid is 29 years old. I have been watching hockey my entire life and I...

Morgan Wallen canceled his Pittsburgh show yesterday. I know because my phone exploded with notifications, not because I had tickets. I don’t own a single Morgan Wallen song and I’ve made my peace with that choice. So when the cancellation hit, my reaction was basically to shrug and get on with my Saturday. And I...

Holy shit, do we have a great final on our hands. Both games were incredible theatre. Both games were one by one goal with the most recent game reaching OT. So far, this series has been everything you could ask for as a hockey fan. Oh, and a Dylan Larkin trade request just came out...

So Cleveland just traded the guy who set the all-time sacks record. Twenty-three sacks last year. They paid him $160 million eight months before doing it. And then two days later the Eagles sent AJ Brown to New England. Brown, who’s had 1,000-plus receiving yards in six of his seven seasons in the league. Both...

That is exactly why the Stanley Cup Final is the best thing in sports. Carolina jumped out to a two-goal lead only to lose 5-4 in regulation. The game was fast, chaotic, and captivating. The Carolina fans nearly blew the roof off the building when Ehlers scored 30 seconds into the contest. As an aside...

The always underachieving, regular season merchant, Carolina Hurricanes finally broke through. They quickly dispatched the Montreal Canadiens to set up a clash with the Vegas Golden Knights in the 2026 Stanley Cup Final. For the first time in years the Hurricanes didn’t have to tango with a team like the Florida Panthers, as a matter...

Memphis traded Jaren Jackson Jr. in February. Two-time All-Star, 2023 Defensive Player of the Year, one of the better two-way players in the league. Gone. The return was three first-round picks, and the most valuable of those was the best of Utah’s, Cleveland’s, or Minnesota’s 2027 first-rounder. Memphis did the math. They liked the math....

Bryce Harper sat in a chair holding a bat last July while Rob Manfred talked to the Phillies about baseball’s economics. Harper sat quiet for most of the hour. Then he stood up, walked toward the middle of the room, and told the commissioner to get out of his clubhouse if the MLB salary cap...

The NBA flopping rule has been on the books since 2023. The league made it permanent in July 2024. According to independent tracking of NBA technical fouls, the whole league combined for about 26 flopping technicals in the rule’s first season. The only documented flopping fine in all of 2025-26 was Malik Monk, $2,000, back...

Mitch Marner is going to the Cup Final, the Presidents’ Trophy winner just got swept, and Toronto is drafting first overall. This year felt different though. Colorado looked just as mighty in the post season as they did in the regular season. I didn’t think any of the remaining teams in the playoffs could beat...
