The non-Olympians return to practice today. While the trade freeze is still in effect, that doesn’t mean deadline plans are not being put into place. The Penguins, and the rest of the NHL, will only have a few days after the freeze is lifted to construct their teams for the rest of the season. The...

The NFL just watched Seattle win Super Bowl LX 29-13 with defense and a run game doing most of the talking, and then the league immediately sprinted back to quarterback shopping like it forgot the whole lesson on the ride home. If you need a QB in the 2026 offseason, you’re not “finding your guy,”...

The weekend full of men’s hockey has finally concluded and the bracket for the Olympic Elimination Round has been set. Both Canada and USA finished undefeated, the only two teams to do so, and none of their games were really ever in doubt. The most interesting part of this entire tournament will come on Wednesday...

MLB can flirt with prediction markets, but after FTX and a fresh pitch-fixing case, baseball should keep its distance. Fans are already drowning in gambling ads, and this is how sports get unwatchable. Baseball doesn’t need another “innovative partnership” that sounds smart in a boardroom and feels gross on your couch. Rob Manfred has openly...

The two teams seemingly destined to square off in the gold medal game each won their opening game of the Milan Olympics; each team also scored five goals. Before diving into the games, let me just rant for a second. It is absolutely ridiculous that the Olympics does not allow any social media account in...

The CFP committee has a mystery criteria is killing marquee nonconference games, and USC–Notre Dame is just the start. Fans deserve real answers, not vibes. If you’ve been feeling like college football is slowly turning into “schedule safe, pray later,” you’re not crazy. The College Football Playoff committee has created a world where the smartest...

MLB’s ABS challenge system will roast players who swear they know the strike zone. Early spring numbers show challenges are basically a coin flip, and that’s the whole joke. Everybody wants robot umps until the players can’t stop challenging the wrong pitches. The helmet tap is about to become baseball’s new version of yelling at...

Tomorrow the men’s Olympic hockey tournament will begin. There are plenty of storylines to discuss; Tom Wilson playing with McDavid, Nylander hurt for Sweden, who starts for Canada, and how will the US perform we will discuss most of these topics throughout this blog. First, I think there is a clear pecking order for these...

If the Raiders are sitting at No. 1, trading down and passing on Fernando Mendoza is only defensible if you’re getting a ransom that makes the rest of the roster better overnight. Anything less is just another version of the same old Raiders cycle: postpone quarterback, cross your fingers, and act shocked when it blows...

What would it take for a defensive player to win NFL MVP again? A season so ridiculous it feels illegal, plus a year where the quarterbacks don’t hand voters an easy choice. And even then, I’m not confident it happens, because the MVP has basically turned into “Best QB Season / Best QB Story.” Defensive...

Thursday night was the final game before the Olympic break in the NHL. The Penguins had one game remaining on their schedule against the red-hot Buffalo Sabres. Blake Lizotte’s wife went into labor forcing him to miss the game. Then Noel Acciari got sick forcing him out of the lineup. This was no big deal...

Super Bowl LX is going to expose the team that can’t live outside its favorite script. New England and Seattle both have a “comfort food” offense they run to when things get tight, and I think Seattle’s defense is built to shove the Patriots into hero ball. That’s where this game flips. Opening Night on...

A day after the worst performance of the season, the Penguins traveled to Long Island to play one of their biggest games yet. The effort level was significantly better. The overall performance was significantly better than the night before too. Hell, the Penguins thoroughly outplayed the Islanders last night. Yet the Penguins ended up losing...

Nine NFL international games in 2026 is way too many, and it’s going to make Sundays worse for the fans who actually pay the bills. One or two overseas games are a fun novelty. Nine turns it into a gimmick that chips away at home-field football and jacks up season ticket pain. NFL International Games...

The Penguins entered Monday night for Penguins vs Senators with a six-game winning streak and a 13-2-2 record since Christmas.. That record is now 13-3-2 after arguably their worst performance of the season. The only other performance that might rival it was a 4-0 loss in December, also to the Senators. The Penguins really had...

The Penguins have won five games in a row, again. They absolutely torched the Blackhawks last night winning by a score of 6-2. The craziest part is, the team looked asleep in the first period. They ended the game outshooting the Hawks 44-20 despite being outshot 9-8 in the first period. The rest of the...

The NHL is 37 days away from the official trade deadline. However, there are only seven days until the Olympic roster freeze, which may also act as a secondary trade deadline. The Penguins have shifted perspective on their team. Before the season, the Penguins were thought to be the only true seller in the league....

The Penguins played their worst game of the four-game road trip. Fortunately, they were playing the worst team in the NHL, the Vancouver Canucks, and were able to hold them off to win 3-2. First, shoutout Stuuuuuuuuuu Skinner. What a freaking great performance. The Penguins were not great in this game. Stu stood on is...
