The Minnesota Vikings have chosen Kyler Murray as their starting quarterback over J.J. McCarthy, the widely expected conclusion to what coach Kevin O’Connell pledged was a true competition. O’Connell made the announcement before practice on Tuesday afternoon, giving Murray a full month of full-time repetitions with the first-team offense before the regular season begins on…
For years, Edmonton Oilers treated their cap space less like an asset and more like an emergency supply. The organization operated so close to the ceiling that an injury, recall, or unexpected opportunity could create another round of financial gymnastics. That makes Edmonton’s current position unusual. PuckPedia’s current cap sheet lists the Oilers with approximately…
Patrick Mahomes’ place atop FOX Sports’ Nick Wright’s NFL quarterback power rankings has been so consistent the segment adopted his name. “Mahomes Mountain.” And, in Wright’s opinion, Mahomes continues to be the king as the 2026 NFL season approaches. FOX Sports’ Chris Broussard, however, felt otherwise. Other questions consist of, can Los Angeles Rams’ Matthew…
Eric Staal was the face of the Carolina Hurricanes for a long time. He was synonymous with the organization. However, as Geoffrey Chaucer said, all good things must come to an end. His trade out of Carolina a decade ago is now just history. It’s a footnote to a sad ending of one of perhaps…

FOX Sports’ Colin Cowherd thinks so. On Tuesday’s edition of The Herd, Cowherd predicted his top two teams for each division heading into the 2026 NFL season and he offered a bold perspective for the NFC North. “In the…
We recently wrote about three young forwards who could eventually form the future core of the Toronto Maple Leafs: Easton Cowan, Gavin McKenna, and Matthew Knies. There is another young player who belongs in that conversation. Ben Danford. Danford arrived with a defence-first reputation and modest offensive numbers. What he showed during the Marlies’ playoff…
According to Colin Cowherd, the Hall of Fame Game between the Cardinals and Panthers was “fantastic” and had some of the best rookie quarterback play he’s ever seen in that game. But according to bettors who backed the Cardinals to cover the 1.5 — well, they probably would’ve preferred a different overall outcome.
