    • Why NFL preseason win projections are (mostly) worthless
    Photo by Matthew Pearce/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Thank goodness the preseason is well in the rearview mirror. Our own Tony Catalina was innocently watching NFL Network’s GMFB on Tuesday morning and almost suffered a heart attack when a graphic dropped with the 2024 projected NFC playoff teams. Thankfully, he recovered fast enough and had the presence of mind to take a screenshot o...2024

    • Virgil Carter is building a lasting legacy with the NFL
    Virgil Carter | Darryl Norenberg-USA TODAY Sports The former Bengals’ quarterback is one of the founders of analytics. Former Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Virgil Carter is something of a riddle wrapped in an enigma. Carter was selected in the sixth round of 1967 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears. After Cincinnati Bengals’ quarterback Greg Cook was injured during the 1970 preseason, Carter e...2024

  • • Penguins Update: Winds of Change a Blowin’
    In a development somewhat reminiscent of last spring’s executive house cleaning, the Penguins will not renew the contracts of Wilkes-Barre/Scranton head coach J.D. Forrest and assistant Kevin Porter. The announcement came just two days after the Baby Pens were swept by arch-rival Lehigh Valley in the opening round of the AHL Calder Cup playoffs. Former Pens GM Ron Hextall and POHO Brian Burk...2024
  • • For the Penguins, it’s Déjà vu All Over Again
    A little over a year ago (April 8 to be exact) the Penguins clobbered the Red Wings, 5-1, in game number 80 of the 2022-23 season. In the process seizing control of their playoff destiny. All we needed to do was win our final two games against weak sisters Chicago and Columbus and we were in, no matter what the Islanders and Panthers did. Remember? With a playoff berth virtually tucked in our hip ...2024

  • • Penguins Update: Is Mike Sullivan Feeling the Heat?
    As the Penguins lurch toward their second straight non-playoff season, it’s fair to say long-time coach Mike Sullivan is beginning to feel the heat.

    I'm hardly any kind of superstitious person when it comes to how I live my life. I do believe that coincidences happen, but it's not because I dressed in a certain order or ate the same foods for each meal that day.

    After a day off yesterday, the Allen Americans will be back at practice this morning as they prepare for two games this week in Idaho. I will attend practice and hopefully get an injury report. From what I understand there were no suspensions from Sunday, either to McAuley or on the hits to Butcher and Brown. - It is a real scheduling oddity to play only two games in a week and to do that in ...2023

We are now three days removed from Super Bowl 58, and the discourse remains focused on what the San Francisco 49ers did and did not do in the overtime period against the Kansas City Chiefs.
