Your Chicago Bulls are a postseason team once again … kind of

CHICAGO — Hey, guess what? The Chicago Bulls clinched a playoff berth Tuesday night. Can you believe it?(Waits for reaction.)Ha ha, you should see your face right now. I just zinged you with a classic April Fool’s prank!With their 137-118 win over the Toronto Raptors on April 1, the Bulls clinched their third straight Play-In Tournament berth. Someone call Pat Riley, because we’re talking about three-peats in Chicago again.AdvertisementI guess the joke is not so funny if you’re a Bulls fan. One with higher standards, anyway.Now, I’m not the kind of writer who thinks anything short of a championship is a lost season. People say the worst place to be is in the middle, but at least there’s pride a team can take in being a perennial playoff team. Judging by the facial reaction Bulls guard Coby White gave me […]

Garrett Crochet commitment shows Red Sox, Craig Breslow are done with last-place finishes

Boston Red Sox fans should be thrilled with the news that left-hander Garrett Crochet has agreed to a six-year, $170 million contract that runs through 2031.Put another way, Sox fans should be thrilled that chief baseball officer Craig Breslow has a pass key to the Fenway Park money room. (Fun fact: Though many scenes from the Ben Affleck flick “The Town” were filmed at Fenway, the money room scene was done somewhere else.)AdvertisementYou’ll recall that in February, with spring training underway, the Red Sox announced they had signed Alex Bregman to a three-year, $120 million contract. And now, in April, with the regular season underway, they’ve announced this Crochet extension. There used to be a saying, “These are not your father’s Red Sox.” As we sit here now, these are not your Red Sox. Just when Sox fans were getting […]

NHL’s weirdest honor? A brief history of the Second-Team All-Star goalie

With just a few weeks left before awards ballots go out, we already know how one of the races will go. Connor Hellebuyck will win the Vezina Trophy. And if there’s any justice, the GMs who vote on the award will make it unanimous.Cool. Now let’s talk about the best goaltending honor.Not the honor for best goaltender — I mean the honor for goaltending that is the best. The best honor, as in the most fun, the most interesting, and also the weirdest.AdvertisementI’m talking about the Second All-Star Team honors.Yes, this might be something only I’m interested in. But today, I’m going to try to get you on board.Each year, PHWA writers vote to create two All-Star teams, which are not to be confused with the (far inferior) teams from the actual All-Star Game in seasons where the NHL forces […]

Olivia Miles’ transfer portal entrance highlights power shift in women’s basketball

The top of the 2025 WNBA Draft experienced a major shakeup when Olivia Miles entered the transfer portal. Miles was projected to be the No. 2 pick in April’s draft and likely fall no lower than third overall, but instead she has elected to extend her college career, just not at Notre Dame.Even though the era of the pandemic bonus year has essentially ended in college basketball as eligible players had to be on rosters during the 2020-21 season, which was when the current crop of fourth-year seniors was in high school, eligibility decisions are still at play for WNBA prospects. There are still medical redshirts, which is why Miles can play for another year because she missed the 2023-24 season with a torn ACL. Furthermore, juniors who turn 22 during the year of the draft have the option to […]

NHL rumblings: Will McDavid, Kaprizov, the Tkachuks and other injured stars be back for the playoffs?

The Stanley Cup playoffs are two and a half weeks away, and there is still uncertainty around the injury recovery timelines affecting some big names.Here’s the latest on some big ones:Miro Heiskanen, Dallas StarsHeiskanen injured his left knee Jan. 28 and had surgery on it Feb. 4. He started skating last week.AdvertisementIt is still early in the process. The initial timeline was three to four months. It will be two months on Friday. But the updated timeline right now is anywhere from the start of the Stanley Cup playoffs to the end of the first round. And when you consider that the Stars are currently lined up to play the Colorado Avalanche in a conference final-worthy matchup in the opening round, the difference in those two timeline scenarios is massive.So it’s TBD on how this will impact the playoffs, with […]

From UberEats driver to NHL goalie: Inside the unlikeliest start in hockey history

Three years ago, Brandon Halverson had all but given up on his hockey dream.He was delivering UberEats and groceries and working on a farm. He sold his truck. He borrowed money from his parents. Whatever it took to scrape out enough money for rent.Two weeks ago, he stepped into the net with the Tampa Bay Lightning for the first time as an NHL starter — nearly 11 years after being drafted as a highly touted prospect, and more than seven years after his only other appearance in the league.AdvertisementFrom toiling away with a last-place team in Germany’s second division, a tiny club on the verge of relegation that played on an outdoor rink in below-freezing temperatures, to begging a coach in North America’s third-rung ECHL for a training camp tryout, a final Hail-Mary shot at his dream.Through numerous injuries, several […]

The quirks and extremes of FIFA’s 2026 World Cup training base demands

When normies like us all travel, we find ourselves daunted with a wide array of features among our prospective homes away from home.Of course, our trips for work and personal reasons alike are seldom under the guise of a grand quadrennial competition. While the match venues for the 2026 FIFA World Cup (co-hosted by Canada, Mexico and the United States) were announced in June 2022, the places where qualified teams will log more of their time are still undetermined.AdvertisementAs of November, FIFA has identified 49 potential training sites that will serve as the participating nations’ base camps. Sensibly, teams won’t be assigned a city to embrace until after the tournament draw in December — recently qualified New Zealand, for example, wouldn’t want to post up in Chapel Hill, N.C., if their group games are drawn to be played along the […]

Final Four players to know (beyond Cooper Flagg): L.J. Cryer, Kon Knueppel and more

The Final Four is set, and for just the second time in NCAA Tournament history, all four top seeds have advanced to college basketball’s promised land.One of those top seeds, Duke, has the biggest superstar not just of the tournament but in all of college basketball. Cooper Flagg is the presumptive national player of the year and likely No. 1 pick of the 2025 NBA Draft.AdvertisementBut he’s far from the only important player who will be in San Antonio. Here’s who else you should keep an eye on (in alphabetical order).Chad Baker-Mazara, AuburnThe Tigers’ 6-foot-7, 180-pound senior guard is one of the best shooting guards in the tournament, connecting on 44.3 percent of his attempts, which stretches defenses and gives big man Johni Broome more room to operate in the paint.
