NHL - Larkin Officially Quits on Red Wings, and Waits On New Destination

We just finished a lengthy saga involving Connor Hellebuyck wanting out in Winnipeg, then getting flipped to New Jersey last weekend. Now former Detroit Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin appears to be headed down the same path.

Larkin, 30, requested a trade from the only organization he has played for back in June. Drafted by the Red Wings in the first round of the 2014 draft, Larkin is currently in the fourth year of an eight-year, $69.9 million extension signed near the end of the 2022-23 regular season.

Detroit currently holds the NHL’s longest playoff drought at 10 seasons, after Buffalo snapped their NHL-record 14-year streak last spring. On Thursday, Larkin’s agent informed the Red Wings he would no longer be reporting to practice, and was suspended indefinitely by interim General Manager Shaun Horcoff.

NFL - Blame (and Jokes) at Forefront of Chargers' Inexplainable 0-6 Start

The Week Seven bye week could not get here fast enough for the Los Angeles Chargers. A team that finished 11-6 each of the past two seasons needs to win the rest of their games in 2026 to match that mark.

The Chargers are one of three winless teams left in the NFL at 0-6, with the Miami Dolphins being the other at 0-5 after their bye week last week. We all figured Miami would be one of the worst teams in the NFL in 2026, but no one expected the Chargers to be this bad.

NHL - Jets End Hellebuyck Holdout...By Trading Him To Devils

The Connor Hellebuyck saga in Winnipeg is finally over. On Friday, the Jets traded the former Hart and Vezina Trophy winner to the New Jersey Devils for four players and two future draft picks. Winnipeg General Manager Kevin Cheveldayoff indicated he was “comfortable” with the return the Jets received, with multiple media outlets expressing frustration that a first-round draft pick was not part of the haul.

One of the players moved was forward Alexander Command, an 18-year-old who was the 12th overall pick taken back in June’s NHL Draft, and the first round pick of the Devils.

NCAA - Broncos Call For Overturning of Michigan Game...and Deserve It

Nearly a week later, and the "one second" jokes are still coming out of Ann Arbor after Michigan was gifted a win over Western Michigan in the season opener for both teams.

We all know Western Michigan had a 12-7 lead with seven seconds remaining, and facing 2nd &10 at the Bronco 47 yard-line. Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood heaved to the endzone, and ended up throwing through the endzone, where a Western Michigan player caught the pass beyond the boundary. The clock on TV and in the stadium read 0:00, and the Broncos had the biggest win in program history.

Then the Big 10 officiating crew decided there was still one second left, giving Michigan new life. Underwood hit JJ Buchanan at the goalline for the game-winning score, and the largest heist in college football history.

NCAA - UMass Snaps Near Two-Year Losing Streak...Complete With Fireworks

The opening week of the college football season every year brings the same feelings. Fans pack stadiums across the country by the thousands, but the major players do not start their schedule until the following week. You have a few smaller conferences that open the national television schedule, and might get a few ranked teams in action.

When a team predicted to finish near the bottom of the Big 10 loses to the worst team in college football at home, you don’t need to be ranked to call it an upset.

Rutgers paid Massachusetts $1.5 million to come to Piscataway back on Thursday night, and were levied as nearly 30-point favorites by the sportsbooks (-28.5 points). The only reason this was not a 40-point spread is Rutgers was picked by coaches to finish in the bottom five of the Big 10 for 2026.

WNBA - Carrington's Racist Accusation Over Her Dirty Play Worse Than The Actual Act

With less than 15 games remaining, the Chicago Sky sit at 12-20, seven games out of the final WNBA playoff spot, and are about to miss the playoffs for the third straight season.

The rivalry between Chicago and the Indiana Fever may have lost some of its luster after the Sky traded Angel Reese to Atlanta back in April, but Saturday showed there is still plenty to talk about whenever the two teams come together, regardless of their records.

A layup by Chicago guard DiJonai Carrington gave the Sky an 18-17 lead with 2:49 in the first quarter. It would be her eighth and final points of the afternoon.

NBA - James' "Final Decision" Is Just the Business of Another Aging Journeyman Mercenary

LeBron James has made his “final decision,” and will be heading to Philadelphia. Sixer fans are ecstatic...for now. Need we remember this is the same fanbase that threw snowballs and batteries at Santa Claus.

The hatred by most of the country around the decision is not how long it took, but the idea that the NBA’s biggest alpha of the 21st century tucked his tail between his legs to go be a third option with a team that traded for Jaylen Brown just a few weeks earlier.

MLB - Red Sox Have Club Record Winning Streak, Now Focus Shifts To Consistency Over Final 60 Games

The key to a great winning streak is not the suddenness of it, but rather the consistency throughout. With Boston running their winning streak to 15 with a matinee win over Baltimore on Wednesday, the Red Sox have a chance to break an 80-year old record with a victory in the nightcap of the doubleheader.

Boston was 37-48 when the calendar changed over to July, which was part of the reason that manager Alex Cora was fired on April 25. The Red Sox started 10-17 when Cora was replaced by Chad Tracy. The Red Sox now sit at 52-48, two games in front of Seattle for the final Wild Card spot in the American League.
