The Silcoff Selections are here for January 7th, 2026. With all the action in sports tonight, here are some of my favourite plays across sports today.

I said from the beginning that Maye was going to be the quarterback who wou
Less than ten months after the blockbuster Luka Dončić trade, the Dallas Mavericks have made the move we all saw coming as they fired GM Nico Harrison. With the front office reset and the roster now sitting between two timelines, the direction of the franchise is becoming increasingly unclear.
