When the Yankees improved to 8-2 on the season with their comeback, series-opening win against the A’s last Tuesday, all was well in the world. There were problems with a shaky bullpen and an unproductive bottom of the order, but the team was winning, and that’s all that matters. But the thing is, over the […]
It’s Sunday morning, we’re sat down with a brew, and we’re ready to dive into yesterday’s performance after a night of sleeping on it… so joining us today to chat all about Sunderland’s win against Wolverhampton Wanderers in BBC Radio Newcastle’s Simon Pryde! On today’s show: All of this and more – get subscribed to […]
The Leafs had one good period but it wasn't enough and they lost in OT.
49ers’ first test without Fred Warner? Bijan Robinson and Falcons’ top rushing attack (paywall)“Bethune dons the same number Warner wore as a rookie — No. 48 — but that’s where the comparison starts and ends. “A lot of people have got to remember, he’s only in his second year, you can really call him a rookie because […]
There are two major themes heading into this afternoon’s game: “Best of times/worst of times” It’s been talked about on the broadcast of every Dallas game in recent weeks and mentioned in dozens of articles about the team; Dallas has the best offense in the NFL by many metrics and the worst defense in the […]
The New York Jets are home in East Rutherford, New Jersey for the seventh game of their 2025 campaign. They will be taking on the Carolina Panthers. The game is scheduled to start at 1:00 pm EDT. The game will be played in seasonably warm weather for mid-October in East Rutherford. Cloudy skies will prevail […]
Hindsight in football is an unavoidable yet dangerous thing. Once the raw emotion drains from another road trip that yielded nothing, you can almost convince yourself it wasn’t all bad. In isolation, this was actually a good performance. We created more chances here than in several previous games combined. The passing was sharper, the movement […]
The Royals suffered a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Cardiff City in what manager Noel Hunt called our most complete performance of the season. Lewis Wing put the Royals ahead in the first half to take us into the break ahead. Cardiff scored twice in the second half to take all three points. The […]
Longevity is a lost art in college football. In an era where rosters can be built and torn down in seconds by the transfer portal with obvious NIL influences, all 136 FBS coaches are expected, to some degree, win and win now. But the Miami RedHawks are Eastern Michigan Eagles do things the old-fashioned way. […]
A potentially unimaginable scenario just a few weeks ago, Manchester United could close the gap to Premier League leaders Liverpool to just two points on Sunday, if they can prolong the Merseysiders’ misery in this weekend’s headline battle at Anfield. Arne Slot oversaw a miserable three straight losses in all competitions before the international break, […]
The scoreboard may have read 3-0 in favor of Chelsea at the end, and Ange Postecoglou may have already had his bags packed as a consequence, but it was hardly as dominant of a win for the Blues against Nottingham Forest yesterday as that would suggest. With a bit more luck and a bit more […]
Clearly, the lead story tonight is Anthony Stolarz’s frustration after the game. What were you seeing and feeling when Mason Marchment crashed into you? Stolarz: I mean, I am not happy. Guys are going to run me. I am going to try to stand up for myself. I heard the ref say we got a […] The post Game Review: Anthony Stolarz demands more from his team after Leafs’ OT loss to Seattle appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
The SMU Mustangs had never lost a conference matchup since joining the ACC, entering Saturday a spotless 10-0. But the Mustangs weren’t completely spotless against their peers in the new league. On Dec. 7, 2024 SMU competed in the ACC Championship Game, storming back from a 31-14 fourth quarter deficit to knot the game at […]
Wow Streak Hmm
It’s over. The offseason is behind us. This time next week, the Boston Celtics will be on pace for either 82, 41, or 0 wins after their first two games against the Philadelphia 76ers and the New York Knicks. The Celtics have more uncertainty surrounding their roster than in any of the previous eight seasons, […]
Last Sunday, UAB fired third-year head coach Trent Dilfer after compiling a 9-21 record as the Blazers’ frontman. During his tenure, he never won a single road game and only defeated one opponent that qualified for bowl eligibility. Offensive coordinator Alex Mortensen claimed interim head coach duties, and his job was merely to keep the […]
Vancouver Whitecaps missed out on the top seed in the Western Conference, as they suffered a heartbreaking 2-1 defeat to FC Dallas on Decision Day. Vancouver was hoping for a stress-free Decision Day, as after Thomas Müller’s heroics in Orlando, the Whitecaps came into this game knowing that if they avoided defeat (or Portland took at least a point off San Diego), they would end … Source
Recap of the game.
Things have quieted down a little bit in Jazzland as the Jazz are preparing for the regular season opener. Nevertheless, some moves were made as contract deadlines were hit, and there were a few notes of interest. Here’s the latest odds and ends of Jazz news. Utah Jazz waived Mo Bamba, Pedro Bradshaw, and Sean […]
Rutgers football lost its 2025 homecoming game to No.8 Oregon in blowout fashion, as the Ducks (6-1, 3-1) handed the Scarlet Knights (3-4, 0-4) a 56-10 loss in front of a sold-out crowd. Rutgers’ defense continued to struggle, as the Ducks’ stout passing attack exploited them. Several times, Oregon’s wide receivers were left wide open […]
Tulane appeared destined to fall into the service academy trap. In the previous 10 years, there was nothing more dangerous than an American Conference contender running into an option-based service academy. 2015 Memphis, 2016 Houston, 2022 UCF, and 2024 Memphis were all ranked or high-profile teams that watched American title hopes dissipate thanks to losses […]
Craig Berube addressed the media after his team’s 4-3 overtime loss to the Seattle Kraken, which dropped the Maple Leafs’ record to 3-2-1. On the team’s performance: Inconsistent, more than anything. When we wanted to play the right way and do the things, we were good. We had too many lapses in the game that […] The post Craig Berube on whether his team needs to protect its goalie better: “We have to be harder around our net… I’m not preaching to take guys’ heads off, but enough is enough” a...
Calum Mills says… Nordi, Nordi, Nordi! What a player. A centre back playing at right back, popping up on the left wing and scoring. He’s class and is always exciting to watch! “Big Bad Dan Ballard” I’m confident that when he got home last night, Jorgen Strand Larsen fell out of his pocket. Another rock […]
If each of Sunderland’s league games thus far has featured a slightly different dynamic, with the Lads regularly showcasing their capacity to adapt, adjust and emerge with something to show for their efforts, Saturday’s visit of Wolves was very much a game to file under “One we simply have to find a way to win […]
Although it was arguably Sunderland’s best ever season, 1912-13 actually saw the Lads making one of the worst starts imaginable. Without a win in their first seven games, a strong performance against Middlesbrough in match eight proved to be the catalyst, and from that point on Robert Kyle’s team gathered the momentum that took them […]
Mukiele Shines Robin Roefs may have something to say about it, but for me, Nordi Mukiele has a real shout to be the true steal of the season. Arriving at the club for just €12m, he represents what real, top-level quality is. His European experience indicated that we may have been onto a winner from […]
