The NFL is heading into its third 17-game season in 2023, and teams are still adjusting to the extra wear and tear that an extra game puts on the players.Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy mentioned that this week, noting that continuity with the same players healthy and on the field each week is a key to success in the NFL.

The rhetoric is the same.Mookie Betts still downplays his importance to the Dodgers.He still won't acknowledge the oversized influence he has on games.He still won't make any predictions about what he might or might not do.Don't be alarmed, however, by what sounds like an effort by the $365-million outfielder to skirt responsibility.

Bruins Linus Ullmark set a new Bruins regular-season record with 54 saves on Monday night.The Boston Bruins had no business leaving the ice at Scotiabank Saddledome with a win on Tuesday night.Frankly, they'd consider themselves fortunate with just a single point gained in the standings.That's not hyperbole, nor is it a statement centered around one disastrous D-zone miscue or lapse in O-zone execution.

GOODYEAR, Ariz.- For all the focus on a determined vibe and attention to detail in this White Sox camp, in the end the thing that matters most is health.Priority one is to emerge from spring training and fly to Houston for Opening Day with no significant injuries.Health dwarfs the other priorities.That always goes for 29 other teams as well, but for the Sox, smitten by injuries in 2022, health ultimately was the thing that pole-axed their hopes of a return trip to the postseason.

The 5 o'clock club is published from time to time during the season, and aims to provide a forum for reader-driven discussion at a time of day when there isn't much being published.Feel free to introduce topics that interest you in the comments below.A lot of people spent the early part of the offseason calling for Logan Thomas to be released.

Well, that was a little disappointing.The hope heading into the 2022 season was that improved play at QB, thanks to Ron Rivera's trade acquisition of Carson Wentz, would elevate the team into playoff contention.When the clock ticked 0:00 in the season finale, the Commanders had, in fact, achieved the highest win total of Ron Rivera's tenure as head coach and chief of football operations by 1.5 games.

The Rays have dealt with a run of injuries this month, and they signed another former Red Sox pitcher.Tampa Bay signed reliver Jake Diekman this week after his release from the Chicago White Sox, and it claimed Zack Littell off waivers, according to the team's transaction wire.Boston designated him for assignment this week after it traded for him last week.

Alex Verdugo is about to enter a very important season season when it comes to his future with the Boston Red Sox.Sure, Verdugo has been a solid, if not above average, player over the course of his three seasons in Boston, but as the centerpiece of the Mookie Betts trade he has failed to take the next step many have hoped for him.

Red Sox Mondesi spent the first seven years of his major league career with Kansas City.On Tuesday, the Red Sox announced the acquisition of shortstop Adalberto Mondesi and a player to be named later from the Royals in exchange for left-hander Josh Taylor.Mondesi is the first major leaguer that Boston has traded for in 2023.

The Red Sox addressed one of their most glaring weaknesses Tuesday, acquiring infielder Adalberto Mondesi in a trade with the Royals.Boston, which shipped left-handed reliever Josh Taylor to Kansas City in the deal, desperately needed reinforcement up the middle after losing Xander Bogaerts to the San Diego Padres in free agency and Trevor Story to an elbow injury that could sideline him for the bulk of 2023.

Jim Montgomery had the regular season of his life when he helped lead the Bruins to new NHL records, but it all came to a screeching halt in the Stanley Cup playoffs when Boston was eliminated in the first round at the hands of the Florida Panthers.Throughout the 82-game season, Montgomery received heaps and heaps of praise.

It is Wednesday, my dudes - and I don't think it's a stretch to say that many of you will have some thoughts on the Boston Bruins today.Back-to-back losses to Detroit and Chicago, 11 goals against in two games, carelessness, etc. FIRE UP THE TAKES.I mean that half-mockingly, as it's certainly OK to start taking issue with some of the stuff we've seen in the last few games (really, dating back to the home Oilers game).

Doesn't the Community Shield seem an awful long time ago now?Six months after enduring an underwhelming debut for Manchester City in the curtain-raiser against Liverpool, Erling Haaland has racked up more goals in a single Premier League season than any other player for the club since the competition's inception in 1992.

It always felt like the Dallas Cowboys were going to add one of three wide receivers this offseason: Odell Beckham Jr., DeAndre Hopkins, or Brandin Cooks.In the end, Dallas acquired Cooks from the Texans for a 2023 fifth-round pick and a 2023 sixth-round pick.Before the 2022 trade deadline, Houston asked for as much as a third or second-round pick and for the Cowboys to inherit the remainder of his salary.

I'm looking at this before the Jets game so either one of two things happened.The most likely is that the Leafs powerplay had a glorious surge of productivity which has made everything you are about to read null and void (not a bad outcome, if you are Leafs fan you probably want what they are doing to work) or the powerplay has continued to underwhelm in which case you might as well keep reading whether they used the five forward powerplay or not.

As the Chicago Bulls march toward the end of February with a 27-33 record in tow, it would be no understatement to say this year's team has massively disappointed when compared to last season's rendition.Still, as long as there are games to be played, there's hope the Bulls' big three of Zach LaVine, DeMar DeRozan, and Nikola Vucevic can drag this franchise to the promised land of the NBA Playoffs.

Twas a beating, wasn't it?On Wednesday, the New York Knicks (37-27) hosted their friendly neighbors from Brooklyn (34-28) at MSG and defeated the Nets by a solid 142-118 final score for the second time since they got rid of KD and Kyrie.Times are a-changin', ain't they?"We're on a mission," Mitchell Robinson said after Monday's blasting of the Celtics.

Much has been made about the Boston Red Sox's future at shortstop.After watching Xander Bogaerts depart for the San Diego Padres on a monster contract and Trevor Story go down with an elbow injury that is likely to end his season, the Red Sox were left looking for answers up the middle.While the questions haven't been directly answered, it appears Kiké Hernández has provided insight into who will be manning the shortstop position this season in Boston.

Las Vegas Raiders' quarterback Derek Carr could be on the move this offseason, and the New England Patriots should look to acquire his services.When it was reported that Carr would essentially be demoted an inactivated off of the team, that seemed to spell the end of his nearly decade long tenure as a Raider.
