Hi everyone, It’s your old pal Beerguy, back once again to pronounce what’s what for all the NHL teams in advance of the upcoming season. Technically, this preview is a tad late, because Buffalo & New Jersey are over in Prague drinking it up like Brits on a stag. But since I

Greetings, hola, guten tag, ni how, and yadda yadda. I swear the month of February exists only to mess with people's sense of time, space, and perception. 2024 is already six weeks old, we never really had winter in Yinzburgh, and I can't tell if the days are getting longer (sort

Ahoy-yoy!   I realized I never did a Stillers bye week report, but who cares. They're 7-6, will never beat the Patriots in any meaningful way, the offensive is broken to hell, and are somehow in currenth #6th seed. Tomlin Voodoo is real, ya'll. Just accept this. This season has been so

NFL Notes: A positive sign for the upcoming season is that half of all NFL teams have 51 or more players vaccinated for COVID-19. Which sounds good, given that regular-season rosters are 53-man, but teams are carrying 90 on their rosters ahead of training camp. Coaching staffs and team personnel

NFL Nuggets: All quiet on the NFL front today, so let's take a look at why athletes should stay off social media: Le'Veon Bell aired some laundry about his feelings for Andy Reid. "I'd never play for Andy Reid again ... I'd retire first." That then led to current Chiefs

So, it's the strange NHL COVID circumstance that the second round will play out like the first - with intradivisional matchups taking place. It has actually made for quite fun hockey, as the animosity that built up over the season is coming out in the shape of gritty play, the

Like I said yesterday - this was much easier to type early than some generic Open Thread. Plus, I get to take shots at the Leafs! Now, the North starts late because the Canucks - who aren't even in the playoffs, or playing a playoff team - have to run out

In lieu of typing up something banal, I thought I would use tonight & tomorrow to preview the Stanley Cup playoffs' first round matchups. (Please ignore the fact that the Canucks & Flames are playing out the string.) Normally I save these for during the week, but thought the weekend
