The San Antonio Spurs failed to redeem themselves for Wednesday’s home loss to the Warriors, losing again to the same outfit on Friday in Emirates Cup play.

I guess it’s just human nature – not just in sport – but in all walks of life, to see just how far rules can be stretched. And stretched they will be, unless there are punishments or direct consequences to those rules being over-stretched. Time wasting is one of the scourges of modern football. Even […]
In Phil Smith’s (of The Sunderland Echo) tremendous interview with Sunderland director of football Florent Ghisolfi, he states that his first objective was to preserve the quality that had got the team promoted last season and continue it throughout the nascent Premier League season.

Basketball is officially back in Boulder! Following a campaign to forget in 2024-25, this year’s Colorado Buffaloes team is showcasing an extremely fun and exciting brand of hoops with its young core.

Washington (6-3, 3-3 Big Ten) hosts Purdue (2-8, 0-7 Big Ten) at Husky Stadium in a game that matters for very different reasons.

That game could’ve been a lot easier. The Lakers were up by as much as 22 against the Pelicans, but LA allowed New Orleans to go on a 12-0 run from the end of the third quarter to the start of the fourth. This forced head coach JJ Redick to call a timeout and bring […]
The Long Island Nets returned to the court Friday night as they took on the 0-3 Maine Celtics in Portland.

There can be risk and reward to playing freshmen in today’s college game. On Friday night, Arizona saw the perils of leaning on so many young players.

Hey all, good to be back writing recaps! I spent the early part of the season in Tokyo, so the disastrous 0-3 start to the season happened in the early morning for me. It’s a weird experience to get notifications on Islanders goals while eating breakfast. But like I said, good to be back, and […]
