Chiefs usually have a 'type' at defensive end. Why they changed course with pick 40
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo has a “type” at defensive end. And it’s not exactly a secret.Over time, Spagnuolo has gravitated toward bigger, more powerful players who can hold up in the run game.That history is why the Chiefs’ 40th selection Friday — Oklahoma edge rusher R Mason Thomas — was a bit surprising at first blush.Advertisement
Chicago Bears go offense with all 3 picks on Day 2: Time to trust Ben Johnson?
LAKE FOREST, Ill. — The Chicago Bears ranked 29th in the league in 2025 in yards allowed per play. They were in the bottom third in the league in nearly every major defensive category.And with three picks on Day 2 of the draft, they selected three offensive players.General manager Ryan Poles, as he has, stuck to his board. He drafted Iowa center Logan Jones despite the Bears having traded for center Garrett Bradbury. After trading back, he took Stanford tight end Sam Roush, even though Colston L...
Kirby Dach’s redemption arc for the Canadiens began long before his Game 3 heroics
MONTREAL — After two games on the road to open the playoffs, Montreal Canadiens coach Martin St. Louis finally had an opportunity to wrest control of the matchups away from Tampa Bay Lightning coach Jon Cooper in Game 3 of their first-round series Friday night.Except Cooper wasn’t all that willing to give up that control.Advertisement
Lindy Ruff, Marco Sturm and the ongoing coaching battle in Sabres-Bruins series
BOSTON — Lindy Ruff really didn’t like the way the Buffalo Sabres played in their Game 2 loss to the Boston Bruins. When Ruff was younger, he would have found a way to show his displeasure. He probably would have ripped the team in the locker room or lit the players up in his postgame news conference. Maybe both.Advertisement
NBA’s Rwanda ties face scrutiny after sanctions-linked BAL withdrawal
US sanctions tied to Rwanda’s military have prompted a BAL team withdrawal, renewing scrutiny of the NBA’s long-standing partnershipAs the NBA enters its postseason crescendo, its carefully cultivated image as one of the most progressive leagues in sports is once again in the spotlight due to its partnership with Rwanda, which has long been accused of human rights abuses and war crimes.In March 2026, the Trump administration announced sanctions targeting Rwanda’s military and four senior officia...
Why Bruins rookie James Hagens could be out of the Game 4 lineup
BOSTON — The Boston Bruins had eight minutes on the power play in their 3-1 Game 3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres. David Pastrnak was on for six of them. This is how it should be. If it were aerobically optimal, coach Marco Sturm would make No. 88 a permanent threat on the power play. He is that dangerous in man-advantage situations, both as a strong-side shooter and disher to Morgan Geekie on the left elbow.Advertisement
The Ravens spent the first two days of the draft getting bigger, and there's more to come
OWINGS MILLS, Md. — NFL Network draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah is a former Baltimore Ravens scout and he certainly knows what his old employer looks for when building out its roster. At the NFL Scouting Combine in late February, Jeremiah foreshadowed how the first two days of the draft would play out for the Ravens.“When they are at their best, they are big,” Jeremiah said. “They’re big everywhere.”Advertisement
76ers waste opportunity against Celtics with miscues on the margins in Game 3
PHILADELPHIA — With each dagger 3-pointer the Boston Celtics hit, the angst in Xfinity Mobile Arena got louder.A sellout and electric crowd in Philadelphia had seen a Sixers team fight for almost 48 minutes. The echoes of the past walked through the building, only fitting in a Philly-Boston postseason rivalry. There was Allen Iverson. There was Julius Erving. Philadelphia Eagles first-round pick Makai Lemon rang the pregame Liberty Bell. Theo Ratliff walked laps around the building with his fami...
Why the Vikings traded Jonathan Greenard to the Eagles, even though it made the team worse
EAGAN, Minn. — The phone records aren’t readily available, but it’s fair to guess that few Minnesotans have spent as much time talking to Philadelphians in recent months as Rob Brzezinski has with Howie Roseman.These two longtime NFL executives had been talking about a potential trade. Specifically, the Eagles wanted the Vikings to trade them Pro Bowl edge rusher Jonathan Greenard.Advertisement
The Knicks have the Hawks right where they want them. Right?
ATLANTA — Less than a year ago, the New York Knicks changed head coaches because, right or wrong, they deemed Tom Thibodeau, the man at the helm, too slow to react. He maintained the same starting lineup all season, despite its consistent struggles, until finally adjusting the first unit when it was too late, down 2-0 in a playoff series that ended the Knicks’ push for a title.Advertisement
Despite solving Canadiens' most dangerous weapon, why are Lightning trailing the series?
MONTREAL — One would imagine the Tampa Bay Lightning would have taken it in a heartbeat had someone before the series informed them Montreal’s dangerous top line would be pointless at five-on-five through the three opening games.One would also imagine their stunned reaction when also informed they’d be trailing their first-round series with the Canadiens two games to one anyway.So it begs the question, why are the favored Lighting trailing this series then?Advertisement
