Rams mailbag: What drove GM Les Snead's draft approach? Is A.J. Brown still a possibility?
The Los Angeles Rams were the talk of the NFL after this year’s draft. And that makes it a good time for another mailbag.The Rams threw a few curveballs in the draft, first by taking Alabama’s Ty Simpson at No. 13 to sit behind Matthew Stafford as the quarterback of the future. Then, by selecting just five players in the class, with a heavy focus on depth and future needs.Advertisement
Rangers fan survey: How should New York approach a pivotal NHL offseason?

President and general manager Chris Drury still has a chance to add a high-skill player to his prospect pool with the lottery pick, and the Rangers will then proceed to free age...
Ducks pull off the improbable against the Golden Knights: a tight defensive game
LAS VEGAS — The Anaheim Ducks can’t play defense. They’re exciting but rely on outscoring their defensive issues. They can’t win in the playoffs with that mindset.Maybe that was an argument after the Ducks eliminated the Edmonton Oilers in a high-scoring opening round. But they shredded the narrative by throttling the Vegas Golden Knights at every turn in a 3-1 Game 2 win Wednesday night that evened this second-round series at a game apiece.Advertisement
Anything is possible for Celtics' offseason if you read between lines with Brad Stevens
For those lucky enough to have a Brad Stevens Secret Decoder Ring, it’s possible to take some educated guesses — as well as some wild guesses — as to what the Boston Celtics’ president of basketball operations is saying these days. On the flip side, Stevens is not beating up his players and coaching staff with bombastic, over-the-top servings of blame pie, which is often just a clumsy tactic that serves no purpose other than to alienate people and create ill will.Advertisement
Thankful for offer-sheet opportunity, Blues' Dylan Holloway opted for term on new deal
ST. LOUIS — Two years ago, Dylan Holloway signed an offer sheet and joined the St. Louis Blues as a 22-year-old forward who was unproven in the NHL. Last week, he agreed to terms on a five-year, $38.75 million contract extension ($7.75 million annual average value) as a 24-year-old commodity.Reflecting on the time in between, Holloway had some music lyrics pop into his head.“What did Eminem say? ‘You’ve got one shot, one opportunity,'” he said.Indeed, in the introduction of Eminem’s 2002 hit “Lo...

College Football Playoff at 24 or NCAA Tournament at 76: Which is worse?
Hours apart, two bits of data this week summed up college athletics in 2026.
