If you were at the Allianz Stadium on Sunday night, you’d be forgiven for running all over the emotional spectrum during your time in the building. That wasn’t because of Juventus. They rang up a 2-0 victory over a Bologna team that never really threatened to make the game interesting. It took full advantage of […]

John Wilson says… A landmark goal for Chris Rigg What a great moment in the first half as Rigg curled a beautiful shot into the far corner for his first goal in the Premier League. A lovely team move for a very encouraging equaliser. ‘Til The End…once again! How many times? Beautiful and well-deserved goals […]
One of Sunderland’s craziest, most breathless and ultimately gut-wrenching Premier League affairs. A game during which we exhibited sloppiness, solidity, resilience and naivety in borderline equal amounts and that ultimately swung on two key moments. How the hell do you begin to sum up a match like that? If the top flight has been criticised […]
As I sat down to type this week’s Editorial column and thought about what I wanted to talk about, I couldn’t get Habib Diarra out of my mind. I highly doubt that any of you need me to explain why, but I shall. Sunderland’s unbelievable quickfire comeback at Aston Villa on Sunday almost reached its […]
A famous old ground that’s still fit for the modern era As an ‘old school’ venue, Villa Park is usually able to generate a fantastic atmosphere. It was certainly lively on Sunday afternoon, given the way the game went, so hopefully it’ll be able to maintain its character once the recently-announced renovations are carried out. […]
Despite being ruled eligible for the award through the Extraordinary Circumstances Challenge, Luka Dončić was not named a finalist on Sunday for the NBA’s Most Valuable Player Award. The three finalists for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokić and Victor Wembanyama. While we’ll get to SGA and Jokić, the most legitimate complaint is Wemby’s inclusion over Luka. […]
On April 19th in 2010, Vancouver Canucks forward Daniel Sedin deflected a puck off his skate and past Los Angeles Kings netminder Jonathan Quick in Game 3 of the opening round of the 2010 playoffs, pulling his team within a goal three minutes into the third period.
Ruled a good goal by on-ice referee Steve Kozari, NHL SVP Mike Murphy and the off-ice video review crew overturned the ruling after
On April 18th in 1942, the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Detroit Red Wings by a score of 3-1 in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final becoming the first NHL team to ever recover from a 3-0 deficit in a best-of-seven series and win the round, or in this case the Stanley Cup.
In fact, only 3 of the 172 times a NHL team has trailed 3-0 in a best-of-seven Stanley Cup playoff series have they comeback to
On April 18th in 2010, defenseman Dan Boyle of the San Jose Sharks backhanded a shortside winner into his own goal with 51 seconds played in sudden death overtime of Game 3 of the Western Conference Quarter-finals to the surprise and chagrin of netminder Evgeni Nabokov.
The gaff, Boyle's first goal of the 2010 Stanley Cup playoffs, gave the 8th seeded Colorado Avalanche a 1-0 win and 2-1 series
On April 17th on 1997, netminder Martin Brodeur of the New Jersey Devils scored an unassisted empty net goal against the Montreal Canadiens joining Ron Hextall as the second goalie to ever score in a NHL playoff game.
The Devils went on to beat the Canadiens in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinal 5-2, eventually taking the series 4-1.
That's today in NHL history.
After the trade of WR Dontayvion Wicks to the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this month (thoughts and prayers to me, the saddest girl), it looks like the Green Bay Packers might be done making major moves, with the exception of the 2026 NFL Draft this week. With the roster looking very different than it did last […]
Charlotte Knights 9, Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp 4Both teams posted eight hits, but the Knights (9-11) were more efficient (3-for-10 with runners in scoring position) to defeat the Jumbo Shrimp (11-10) in the series finale, 9-4. The Charlotte bats were hot to start the game, putting up four runs quickly in the top of the first, which […]
The Portland Trail Blazers first playoff game since June 3, 2021, ended in a 111-98 loss at the hands of the San Antonio Spurs. A big offensive effort from Deni Avdija was overshadowed by the amazing Victor Wembanyama, who delivered everything Blazers fans feared and more. Avdija led the Blazers with 30 points, followed by […]
BOSTON — With the first quarter clock winding down, Jordan Walsh sprinted as fast as he could down the court. In perfect harmony, Jayson Tatum found him for a transition layup to beat the buzzer, and the Celtics extended their lead over the Philadelphia 76ers to 15 in the opening game of the playoffs. In […]
Victor Wembanyama put up the highest individual scoring total in the playoffs by a Spur all time tonight, and San Antonio alternated between moments of sheer glory and pangs of growing pains in a game 1 win over Portland 111-98. San Antonio took advantage of the Blazers’ errant shooting outside of Deni Avdija’s laborious efforts […]
There is a lot of work needed to be done in the transfer portal this offseason by Micah Shrewsberry and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. With six of Notre Dame’s top players from last season gone, the Irish are just looking to replace them, but to build a better team altogether. The Irish just got […]
With the Winnipeg Jets’ 2025-26 NHL season over and a mere 17 days until the Draft Lottery will take place, the True North fanbase will be turning their attention to fantasizing about which prospect the General Manager will be able to select with their high 1st round pick. To assist with these dreams of better times, I thought I would spend some time trying to sort out who might be available to become the next future Jets’ star.
Of course, this will be far from an accurate prediction sinc...
For a while, things were looking pretty good for the Bruins in Game 1. Weather the storm early? Check. Get the first goal? Check. Hold on for dear life but eventually extend the lead? Check. Then it all fell apart in a span of just under five minutes in the third period, as the B’s […]
Notre Dame Women’s Basketball Head Coach, Niele Ivey, knows that more scoring threats are needed next season to help take some of the load off of Hannah Hidalgo’s back — and help is on the way.
