What will the Chiefs do in the NFL Draft? 5 hints from GM Brett Veach
For good reason, we need to go into a bit of detective mode when evaluating pre-draft news conferences.Kansas City Chiefs general manager Brett Veach spoke to reporters Thursday, and as expected, he was guarded with his words. It makes sense; if Veach reveals too much, he risks losing leverage with other NFL teams that might be looking to trade up or back during next week’s draft.Advertisement

Making sense of Carlos Mendoza's expiring contract situation with the Mets
Carlos Mendoza’s exasperation has come earlier this year.Positive through so many of the undulations in 2025, Mendoza’s simmering frustration only came through in last season’s final weekend, as the Mets let a playoff berth slip through their grasp.That was the same tone Mendoza struck at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday night, after just the 19th contest of the season, when the Mets lost their eighth consecutive game.Advertisement

Will an Oklahoma City repeat end an NBA-record run of seven different champions in seven years? Our writers make their picks ahead of Saturday’s postseason tip-offWemby will no doubt be the answer to this question at some point in the (perhaps not-too-distant) future.

How much did 4 slogans help Sabres get back to NHL playoffs after 15 years?
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Before the Buffalo Sabres embarked on the 2025-26 season, they took a few days during training camp for an organized team event away from the rink. At the time, head coach Lindy Ruff spoke vaguely about the retreat, telling reporters it was about “culture.”That’s a loaded word, especially when it comes to the Sabres. Buffalo came into the season with an NHL record 14-season playoff drought, and had mustered only 79 points in the standings in 2024-25. For many reasons, this season...
