I will go over five NHL trades that should happen during the 2025-2026 season based on rumors that are percolating currently throughout the league. 2. Jordan Kyrou traded to the Carolina Hurricanes. This would be a very difficult trade to pull off but everyone knows how aggressive GM Eric Tulsky can be (see Rantanen last...

When the air downtown felt electric, fireworks blew over the Allegheny, and black and gold wasn’t just a color. It was a damn identity. You could feel it in your chest. The Super Bowl was expected. The Cup was realistic. The city moved different. 2009, 2016, 2017. We were alive. That’s gone. Long gone. Now...

The Penguins finished without a win this weekend, losing in a shootout on Saturday and blowing a 2-1 third period lead to LA on Sunday. All in all, I really don’t think it’s as bad as a winless weekend would suggest. I will go over some overarching themes in my thoughts below. I will wrap...

Colorado football is finished. The Buffs are out of bowl contention again, sitting at 3-7, and the Prime Time experiment has run its course. Let’s stop pretending this is working. Deion Sanders isn’t a Power 4 coach. He’s a celebrity who turned Colorado into a media circus instead of a football program. He brought the...

The Pittsburgh Penguins win again. Erik Karlsson looked Norris caliber. Evgeni Malkin is tied for the league lead in assists. Sidney Crosby is leading the league in goals. The power-play is nearly automatic. The penalty kills ferocious. The team is receiving goaltending. When they’re on their game they are suffocating and use their offense to...

It finally happened. The casual crowd is starting to see what real sports fans have been yelling about for years. ESPN does not care about sports coverage anymore. What mattered years ago was breaking news, investigative reporting, longform documentaries, and giving fans access to the games they love. Now it is personalities, debates, carriage stunts,...

Right out of the gate, the trade deadline did not fix anything. It gave some teams shiny new toys and handed others excuses. I looked at every move, every rumor, and every receipt and ranked the five biggest losers from the deadline, all the way to the one that completely destroyed its own future. This...

Listen, we just got some breaking news at Penguins practice about Ben Kindel. I have no idea if I can update this blog with my thoughts from tomorrow’s matchup against the Washington Capitals, but if I can, I will, if not look for a separate blog detailing how this blogs title forward fared. In the...

Hello Hail Mary Media, I am Erbie Brooks, and I will be bringing you some weekly insight into the NHL and specifically the Pittsburgh Penguins. While I will talk all things NHL, you will never catch me drooling over Connor McDavid on this site. Sure, as an individual he may be a top five talent,...

I promised that I wouldn’t only write about the New York Jets, but shit just keeps on happening. I wrote a blog just a few days ago talking about how the Jets shouldn’t move star running back Breece Hall at the trade deadline and look at that I was right! Unfortunately, they moved just about...

They scored 42 points yesterday and still lost. They scored 38 the week before and still lost. That is not a fluke. That is not a bad beat. That is a structural collapse with big money attached to one side of the roster and nothing left over to stop opponents from walking down the field...

Yeah, congrats to the Dodgers. Back-to-back titles. Filthy. Fully earned. Will Smith launching one into orbit, Yoshinobu Yamamoto shutting the door, and a clubhouse full of guys who know how to finish. But let’s not get it twisted. This isn’t the end of the story. This is the starting gun for the next war in...

Just 72 hours after recording their first win of the 2025 season, Woody Johnson and the New York Jets announce that they’re raising season ticket prices for the 2026 season. Times must be tough for the Johnson family as they decided one win was enough to justify raising ticket prices going into next year. For...

Yeah, cable, we owe you one. We trashed you for years. Called you greedy, outdated, overpriced. We laughed when streaming came along like it was going to save us all. Turns out the joke’s on us. You might have been a pain, you might have gone out when it rained too hard, but at least...

Welcome to the New York News, whether you care or not I have been given the power to vent about any and everything New York sports. Luckily for you I plan to mix it up, bringing you all things sports not just that contained to the 5 boroughs. Just a little background about myself. For...

College football hit the panic button and the floor instantly turned to lava. Penn State, Florida, LSU, and what feels like half the Power Four are open for business. The rumor mill is blasting the same names: Marcus Freeman, Lane Kiffin, Dan Lanning. Rinse and repeat until everyone wants to puke. Fans want chaos. ADs...

Stop apologizing for Mike Tomlin. Stop tweeting about loyalty and “he never has a losing season” like that is some kind of untouchable shield. This was supposed to be an all in year. Ownership spent big on defense. They traded and paid to overhaul the receiver room and “fix the culture.” They told everybody this...

Let’s get one thing straight from the jump. I do not give a single damn that ESPN is promoting betting. I do not care that podcasters are cashing checks from DraftKings. I do not care that content creators have FanDuel links in their bios. Never have. Never will. That is the business. They are not...
