From Chaos to Contender at the Right Time
The New York Giants’ decision to hire John Harbaugh may not have generated the loudest headlines of the offseason, but it might end up being one of the most consequential moves any franchise made. This is not a gamble on upside or a bet on novelty. It is a calculated investment in stability, culture, and long-term competitiveness—three things the Giants have lacked since their last Super Bowl era.

Divisional Playoff Recap: Josh Allen is a Choke Artist, Stop Pretending He's Not
As long as I can remember, I've always really loved the Divisional Playoff. The Divisional Playoff was originally the opening round of the merged NFL's playoffs, officially born in the same year that the merger happened: 1970. Since 1978, the Divisional Playoff has been the second round, and it's the round where the teams on bye are introduced. In addition, the Divisional Playoff serves as the final week to feature Saturday games, and also kicks off the "set bracket" portion of the playoffs.

Homestand Part IV: Crushed
Well... that happened. The Colorado Avalanche had a long layoff after the overtime loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs. That loss snapped a 17-game home winning streak, but the points streak remained. 22 home games, lost three--all past regulation. After three days off, the Avs were back in action against the Nashville Predators, and I always get nostalgic when the Avs and Preds get together. The teams met twice in the playoffs, in 2018 and 2022, and because of those meetings, I've always said that it's fun when these teams get together.
