The Baltimore Ravens have been a powerful force in the NFL for multiple seasons. They have made the playoffs in six of the last seven years, but they have not advanced further than the conference championship game in that time frame. The 2025 season has been disastrous for head coach John Harbaugh’s team. They went […]

Upsets are often considered the lifeblood of sports. They certainly breathe life into college football. There’s nothing like an up-and-coming home team that has shown improvement throughout the season edging out a top 10 team when it comes calling. However, Penn State’s 42-37 loss to a brutal UCLA team that hadn’t come close to a […]

The Calgary Flames are making progress. They did not make the playoffs last season, but head coach Ryan Huska has seen his team make significant progress.

The Sabres finished last season in sixth place […]

The Seattle Mariners go into the American League Division Series against the Detroit Tigers with one goal on their collective minds.

This […]

If one chooses to look at the New York Rangers from the perspective of championships won, it is a rather sad story. The Rangers started doing business in 1926, and they have won just four Stanley Cups since then. When they famously won the title by beating the Vancouver Canucks in seven games in 1994, […]

The Ryder Cup competition at Bethpage Black was notable for multiple reasons. The European golfers dominated the first two days of team competition and built up a huge edge.

The Ryder Cup was a blowout for the Europeans for the first two days of competition at Bethpage Black in New York.

Ireland’s […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers were undaunted about facing a Minnesota Vikings defense that scored two touchdowns of its own in a blowout victory over the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 3.

The Pittsburgh Penguins are one of the most unique teams in the NHL. There is no team from the league’s original expansion in 1967-68 that can match the five Stanley Cups they have won. In addition to their championship haul, they also have had some of the greatest players in the history of the sport. […]

The Cincinnati Bengals are at a crucial point in their season. They are tied for first place in the AFC North with the Pittsburgh Steelers as both teams take a 2-1 record into Week 4.

The Seattle Mariners are on a tremendous roll, one that could take them to their first World Series championship in team history.

The Ryder Cup competition offers fans an opportunity to get behind their nation’s golfers and offer their vocal support. It also gives those same fans an opportunity to get under the skin of their opponents. Hard to see if Rory McIlroy is waving to a fan or flipping them the bird here!#OurTimeOurPlace #RyderCup #RyderCup2025 #McIlroy […]

The Florida Panthers have reeled off two consecutive Stanley Cup championships and they are the envy of the 31 other teams in the NHL.

The Toronto Blue Jays have been in first place in the American League East since midseason, but with just four games remaining on the regular-season schedule, their position is in jeopardy. The Blue Jays have seen the New York Yankees tie them for the top spot. The Blue Jays have the tiebreaker edge because they […]

The Minnesota Vikings (2-1) are moving into unprecedented territory in Weeks 4 and 5 when they play consecutive games on European soil. No NFL team has ever played overseas games in back-to-back weeks. The Vikings have a huge overseas following, and that’s one of the reasons that owner Zygi Wilf agreed to send his team […]

The Philadelphia Flyers have long been one of the most impactful franchises in the expansion era. The NHL was not a sure bet to be successful in Philadelphia when the league expanded from six to 12 teams in 1967-68, but owner Ed Snider loved the sport and was willing to do anything to make it […]

The Boston Bruins are hoping that last year’s disastrous finish as the last-place team in the Atlantic Division was a one-off. The Bruins have been one of the most consistent teams in the league since 2008, but they fell apart last season. New head coach Marco Sturm is hoping he has the players and the […]

It’s difficult to imagine that things could go this badly for the Detroit Tigers. They were the dominant team in the American League through the early part of September, but manager A.J.

Clayton Kershaw is nearing the finish line of his brilliant career. He made his last regular-season start at Dodger Stadium Friday night, and he went out with a flourish when manager Dave Roberts came out to get him with one out in the fifth inning against the San Francisco Giants. The Dodgers earned a 6-3 […]

The Montreal Canadiens are the most successful team in the history of the NHL. While they have not been able to add to their total of 24 Stanley Cups (23 as members of the NHL) since 1993, they have been the glamour franchise of professional hockey. When it comes to North American sports championships, the […]

The Dallas Cowboys had a disappointing 7-10 record last year and there was not a lot of optimism at the start of the season. They traded All-Pro pass rusher Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers and they dropped their season opener. They rebounded with a 40-37 overtime triumph in Week 2 against the New […]
