What’s happening to the Eagles’ roster right now highlights the chance they blew to defend their title last season. They had enough talent. Yeah, injuries, but, fact is, I don’t think anyone will pick them to be as good or better this year.

Also they didn't fire Sirianni so that's a loss

very funny reading about how “the Eagles are sticking to their price with AJ Brown” and saying “hell yeah they better” while also reading “the Flyers stuck to their price on Rasmus Ristolainen” and descending into complete personal madness

did the NHL forget the trade deadline

A moment of silence for Future Considerations. Poor guy keeps getting traded

NHL insiders waiting to post "pencils down" when the clock hits 3:00

Trading Bobby Brink for David Jiricek, a guy they could have drafted but picked Cutter Gauthier right before CBJ picked him and then traded Gauthier away seems the most Flyers.

Brink for David Jiricek is an intriguing deal. Flyers trade away a sure thing solid NHLer from a position of strength for probably a higher-upside, higher risk player at a position of relative weakness who is three years younger.

that's it, i need this game now

so Balamb Garden is in Winds and Waves

LOUD YELLING

I finally have a reason to buy a Switch 2 👀

OH MAH GAWD THAT MICHKOV WINNER

Matvei Michkov wow

The White House posting a fake AI video of a gold medal athlete would be an insane scandal in the old times. www.nytimes.com/athletic/707...

Very surreal that I likely catapulted USA Today Sports to the top of this list 😅

Hilary Knight got the question re: that phone call and the laughter at the Torrent presser. Her answer:

This by @katiebakes.bsky.social really sums up all the feelings I had when the short lived unifying moment of glory went to hell on Sunday. www.theringer.com/2026/02/24/o...

It’s suddenly dusty in here. Truly honored and humbled over seeing my name as an AP Sports Editors finalist for Breaking News. WOW.

USA women's hockey declined White House SOTU invite because duh bit.ly/4aQtqKz

I’ve been talking about Alysa Liu’s story about her quitting skating only to come back and become even better because she did it for herself and this came to me in a dream…

Today we celebrate Alysa Liu, Olympic gold medalist and daughter of a political refugee who came to the U.S. seeking safety and opportunity. Refugees strengthen our communities — as neighbors, leaders, and even champions. When we invest in belonging, we all rise.

Gotta read @alexkirshner.com on the men's team post-gold locker-room talk with Kash Patel and Trump at the expense of the women's team. "A particular bummer here was the visible, bent-over laughter of overtime hero Jack Hughes, whose mom literally works for the women’s team."

The USA men’s hockey team utterly failed to meet the cultural moment bit.ly/4rrt9EO

The United States men's hockey team failed to live up to their golden moment and have soured the ending of a special two weeks for this country. My thoughts on the viral White House call as the lasting impression of the 2026 Winter Olympics: ftw.usatoday.com/story/sports...

again, women's team vs. men's team

It isn't in the Top 100 reasons to hate this administration but the fact that these chuds have robbed us of the ability to simply celebrate something worth celebrating is extremely demoralizing. It shouldn't be this hard to be happy about people winning gold medals. But these fuckers ruin everything

in public, the men's hockey team has been supportive of the women's team, going to games, cheering them on, saying they were inspired by the OT golden goal must be gutting to feel that support and then get first-hand evidence that behind closed doors, when it's just The Boys, they're laughing at you

Anyhoo

The trajectory of the men’s hockey team over a blistering 12 hours

Love that my happy feelings about the Olympics and bringing folks together lasted about 12 hours thanks to the USA men’s hockey celebrations 🙂

I am starting to perhaps……. maybe…….. possibly………. wonder if the MAGA movement may not care about women’s sports as much as they claimed in the run-up to the 2024 election……… will need to conduct further research

Extremely predictable (in fact, predicted by basically everyone) but still a little shocking that Team USA had its best Winter Olympics ever and the Trump administration didn’t celebrate any of the winners until the men’s hockey team, which they are celebrating A LOT

Watching the USA men's hockey team fumble the bag is the most predictable thing to have happened. The bubble around men's hockey culture is so tight I'm not sure they know just how big a mistake it is and the opportunity they cost the NHL and the game overall.

Always a joy and a privilege to watch and cover yet another Olympic Games. The sports moments are awesome, to be sure, but what I truly love the most is the sense of community and togetherness it brings for people across the world. Bring on Los Angeles in 2028!

I already miss the Olympics.

The Olympics in general, and the American team specifically, are a triumph of diversity. It’s an intense international competition structured by rules, and participants who (mostly) honor them. And US culture celebrates US Olympians, especially medalists, no matter their race, gender, or origin.

It’s not really a mystery as to why you don’t see many folks on the right cheering on and celebrating American Olympic victories. They hate the country as it exists today. They’re very clear on this point.

🥇 Paris 2024 and Milan 2026 were incredibly fun Olympics. Beautiful scenes, high-level performances, star-making moments, and a workable time zone helped. LA 2028 has a lot to live up to.

In this 2024 interview, Jack Hughes, who just scored the game-winning goal for the US Olympic hockey team, explains why it was important for him to embrace Pride Night when many other NHL players refused to do so.

These Olympics were very good and fun and I'm sad that they're ending.

“I was having fun but then the White House did a tweet,” yeah you don’t have to care about that.

Bill Guerin is a complete caveman and this was a reckless, good ol' boys roster-building strategy and also he was right and those of us who doubted him are unfortunately losers slate.com/culture/2026...

By the way, a reminder on Jack Hughes, since the grifters are already trying to hijack his postgame interview www.vogue.com/article/meet...
