Last week’s poll experienced a technical issue, and no one could vote for a couple days—apologies—so we kept the polls open into the weekend. While turnout only amounted to 100ish rather than our usual 300–400, we still have some representative answers. Before we move on to this week’s questions, here are those results: How concerned […]
Manchester City continue their UEFA Champions League campaign as they welcome Bayer Leverkusen to the Etihad Stadium.

Two years later, the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner came close to returning, only for the plan to collapse unexpectedly. A new report reveals how the 2023 transfer saga unfolded behind the scenes. What unfolded behind the scenes shows […]
For the past few seasons, the run game has seemingly been the Buckeyes’ undoing against their rivals up north, particularly last season. Despite an Ohio State team that outmatched the Wolverines on paper and exceptional talent in the 2024 running back room, inept play-calling and a baffling determination to run the ball up the middle […]
Progress is not often linear in the NFL, and few players on the 49ers have embodied that reality more than Ji’Ayir Brown in recent years. With three interceptions, including an outstanding pick of Patrick Mahomes in Super Bowl 58, in his first seven games across the regular season and playoffs after being promoted to the […]
The Dallas Cowboys pulled off one of the most incredible comebacks in their history when they wiped out a 21-point deficit to beat the Philadelphia Eagles, 24-21. That win kept the Cowboys faint hopes of reaching the playoffs alive for another game, which will be on Thanksgiving Day against the Kansas City Chiefs. Belief in […]
There is a clear bottom tier when it comes to NFL teams. The Tennessee Titans, New York Jets, Las Vegas Raiders, and New Orleans Saints make up that group. Before the last two weeks, it was clear to me that the Titans were pretty easily the worst team in the league. With what Cam Ward […]

The Jets will practice in Winnipeg before heading on the road for five games.
Whether you call it overrated, underrated, or fairly rated, Matthew Stafford is having one of the most unusual seasons by a quarterback in recent history. For example, Stafford’s last 18 touchdown passes have come while the Rams are either tied or have the lead. It’s been almost two months since Stafford threw a touchdown while […]
As the Maple Leafs’ struggles have mounted over the past few weeks, fan/media scrutiny has understandably escalated. As we all know, it will only get louder unless the team can somehow work its way out of its current funk in short order. From what I’ve seen, most of the criticism has been fair. The team […]

The Seattle Seahawks came away with a road win over the Tennessee Titans as expected, but not without multiple injuries in which every player was ruled out by halftime. Linebacker and special teams contributor Chazz Surratt, running back and kick returner George Holani, and backup safety Ty Okada all left Seattle’s 30-24 victory in the […]
In a move that is not so surprising, the New Orleans Saints have released kicker Blake Grupe, who has struggled tremendously this season, missing a total of eight kicks through 11 games including two on Sunday afternoon against the Atlanta Falcons. The 27-year-old was signed by Saints as an undrafted free agent in 2023, beating […]

Is that an injury report with good news? The Sixers released theirs ahead of their NBA cup matchup at home against the Orlando Magic, and on it Joel Embiid has been upgraded to questionable. Embiid has missed the last seven games with a right knee injury. He was a late scratch back on Nov. 11 […]
Stefan Frei, Paul Rothrock among Sounders who are now out of contract.
Kyler Murray? I don’t like the idea and neither do many Las Vegas Raiders fans. There have been reports that the Arizona Cardinals may part ways with the quarterback and the Raiders could be a fit as he has already been connected to the Raiders next year. We recently asked our community members how they […]

Yesterday, we took an at bat by at bat look at how the Phillies were trying to attack Shohei Ohtani in the NLDS this season. Today, we’ll continue by looking at Game 2 of the matchup, one in which now, Ohtani can focus solely on his hitting. The yoke of his pitching the same game […]
As dire as things have been for Liverpool in the Premier League so far this season, with Arne Slot’s title-defending Reds slumping to 12th place after 12 matchweeks, their performances and results have been at least passable in the Champions League. There, they sit eighth after four games, good enough for the final slot that […]
