My grandfather had a favorite saying: “Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good.” That was the second thing to cross my mind when UNC announced Michael Malone as its new men’s basketball head coach. Malone’s a unique answer to a complicated problem for UNC, which reached outside “the family” for a head coach for […]

Roma entered the October international break in a unique position for the past decade of the club’s history—they were tied for first in Serie A. While nobody’s planning a Scudetto parade just yet, and Gian Piero Gasperini clearly still needs to kick the Giallorossi into high gear, so far Romanisti have gotten about as good […]
It feels weird not having a midweek game to focus on, but here we are. Last time out the Royals shared the points with the Grecians – goals from Jack Marriott and Jayden Wareham cancelling each other out. It was a very poor game yet again from the Royals and things are starting to look […]
The Buffalo Sabres put a nice 8-4 win on the board Wednesday night over the Ottawa Senators, their first triumph of the young season. But that won't put an end to the turmoil surrounding the team just yet. The latest hot-button topic is the future of star forward and pending UFA Alex Tuch. Contract talks have been put on hold for now, but his price tag continues to soar, to "staggering" levels, as noted by Daily Faceoff's Jeff Marek. On Marek's The Sheet podcast on Friday, fellow insider David...
Game notes Setting the scene Two Ohio-based schools with somewhat similar color schemes clash at the Glass Bowl.

Sharktopus is alleging the referee in their match against Bellevue Athletic had “conflict of interest.”
For the last couple of years, the Cubs have acquired former Houston Astros relievers, notably Hector Neris and Ryan Pressly. As you know, neither one of those worked out for the Cubs and both were unconditionally released by the team mid-season. Now, the Astros are going to try the reverse signing move by acquiring a […]
It feels like we’re all just trying to get through the week as we eagerly await Saturday night’s prime time game between the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and USC Trojans.

Howdy and welcome back to Fun With Numbers. We’re here to talk about what advanced stats say about the Fightin’ Texas Aggie Football squad—while remembering the two most fun numbers of all. 6 and 0, baby. How’d We Do Last Week?

Happy Friday, TOC Nation. Game 7 is tomorrow, and it is against perhaps the toughest opponent we will see all season. The Green & White are traveling down I-69 to take on the #3 team in the nation. If MSU loses, they will have a losing record. If, by some miracle, MSU wins, then maybe we […]
Ferreira is poised to finish the season strong.
The Philadelphia Flyers might be making a trade sometime soon and there’s already a team poking around depth defenseman Egor Zamula. According to Daily Faceoff’s Anthony Di Marco, the Calgary Flames are looking to make an addition on their blue line and specifically on the left side. And even more specifically, someone who is young and also has some size to him. Someone who checks all of those boxes is Zamula and he has been already linked to the Flames. Sounds like the #flames a...

If you’re on social media, you probably noticed that the Knicks’ PR page was going into overdrive on Thursday, announcing various signings to Exhibit 10 contracts before being cut hours (or even minutes) later. While it might seem odd, you can find examples of this in prior years as well: So what’s the big deal? […]
In fans’ last opportunity to see the team before the season starts next spring, the Diamond Heels held an exhibition game against NC State at Durham Bulls Athletic Park on Thursday night.

Calvin Ridley has been ruled out for the Tennessee Titans game this Sunday against the New England Patriots.
