Every season, the spotlight burns brightest on the stars — the quarterbacks, the playmaking receivers, the dominant edge rushers. But every championship-caliber team needs its glue guys. The reliable, physical, unselfish players who keep everything together when the lights are brightest. For Ohio State, several names fit that description this year. None may lead the […]

Facing the Los Angeles Rams in Week 10, the Niners enter this game as 3.5-point underdogs on FanDuel Sportsbook. The total is set at 50.5, which is the highest projection on the board […]

In a pivotal AFC contest, the Kansas City Chiefs dropped a 28-21 decision to the Buffalo Bills — and now enter their Week 10 bye. Let’s look at how the Kansas City used its players. Starters (offensive): TE Noah Gray, LT Jaylon Moore, LG Kingsley Suamataia, C Creed Humphrey, RG Trey Smith, RT Jawaan Taylor, […]
Free agency season is almost upon us, and that means that pending a late-breaking pseudo-extension, Raisel Iglesias and Marcell Ozuna will have free rein to sign with another team and appear in another uniform for the first time in quite a while. Iglesias was last seen in another team’s attire in 2022; for Ozuna, it […]
The LSU offense is an interesting one to preview this year. To this point, they’re only scoring 25.5 points per game, and that ultimately got Brian Kelly fired (and OC Joe Sloan was given the can a couple hours later). It’s not been good by any stretch, and there’s been a lot of issues… but […]
The 2025 NFL trade deadline has officially come and gone, with the Cleveland Browns just making one move, trading Joe Tryon-Shoyinka to the Chicago Bears. Despite the team not being as active as maybe the fans would have liked, it’s still great that they were able to ship off an underwhelming player and a 7th-round […]
It’s been an up-and-down start to his NFL career for Roman Wilson, mostly with downs. Another came on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. Wilson played his best game as a Steeler the week prior with four catches for 74 yards and his first-career touchdown against the Green Bay Packers. Wilson caught one pass for four […]
If you’re reading this, we’re assuming you love Villanova basketball. We are looking for a new site manager for VU Hoops, as well as additional writers.

Wowwww. Bulls. A 24-point comeback win, down to the final seconds . This team has some juice.
If you missed Shane Bieber’s stunning option decision and my thoughts on it, see here . I think it’ll take a little while to fully know whether that was just some weird, one-off, super-idiosyncratic decision of Bieber’s, or if it represents some kind of fundamental systemic concern about what this offseason is going to look like. But we’ll get some clues with the Qualifying Offer decisions this...
Fort Cherry’s (PA) Matt Sieg added another feather to his cap in his Rangers’ eleventh win of the season, breaking the school’s all-time rushing record. As a reminder, he plays quarterback in high school. The four-star had two touchdowns and 154 yards in the affair before heading to the bench. He now also sits second […]
Great teams tend to be able to weather attrition and adversity. The Kansas City Chiefs can lose their #1 receiver for the equivalent of a full season owing to injury and suspension, lose their left tackle for multiple weeks, and still put together a winning effort owing to depth and strengths that compensate for those […]
Kell Brook is scheduled to return to the ring on Feb. 13 in Dubai for a fight against Eisa Al Dah after not having fought since a Feb. 2022 win over Amir Khan. In a conversation with Sky Sports he says he’s coming back to the ring in order to bring awareness to mental health, […]

Real Madrid showed cracks in their ceiling once again in a 1-0 loss to Liverpool at Anfield on Tuesday night. A goal from Alexis Mac Allister ensured a win for Liverpool after a dominant performance, and gave Real Madrid their first loss of their Champions League campaign. Here are three observations from the match: Real […]
Atlético Madrid extended their winning streak to three games across all competitions in a rather-tight contest at the Metropolitano on Tuesday night. Granted, Union St. Gilloise are the Belgian champions and currently sit atop their domestic table. But, on the back of consecutive 0-4 losses to Newcastle United and Inter Milan in the Champions League, […]
Last night, the TCU Horned Frogs suffered an improbable defeat at the hands of the New Orleans Privateers to open the 2025–26 season. The Privateers, who had won just four games last year, stunned TCU in a shocking season opener, winning 78-74. But the loss wasn’t even the biggest blow. On November 4, it was […]

According to results, 56% of voters approved Prop. A, which will include development of the current Freeman Coliseum complex (including the Frost Bank […]
A place no stranger to memorable nights, John Paul Johns marked another special evening in its history on Monday. Ryan Odom took the floor for the first time (officially) as the head coach, and Charlottesville native/Virginia freshman point guard Chance Mallory lived out a childhood dream by playing his first game in orange and blue.

The USA and Canada aren't the only rivals in women's hockey facing off this week.
How’d We Do Last Week? Wildly Inaccurate This is just bad. Chowder is not in fact, overrated. It is delicious. Ill allow the lobster slander but will not tolerate the chowder take form Pseudodomer Most Interesting (I read the I’m baaaack in the Independence Day voice). It’s always good to have folks from other fanbases […]
The Rangers outplayed Carolina for half the game but still can’t buy a goal — their sixth straight home loss and fourth home shutout of the year.
