The Phantoms, with a record of 4-2-1 and a third in the division points percentage through their first seven games of the season, are off to one of their more productive starts to a season since their relocation to the Lehigh Valley, but the road to get to this point hasn’t been an easy one. In their busiest week in the schedule to date — that is, their first week with three games on the schedule — the Phantoms faced a wild bit of volatility in both play and results. Coming off of a huge ...
Backheeled explores the Sounders’ frugal — but effective — roster-building strategy.
Before the Kansas City Chiefs’ Week 7 game against the Las Vegas Raiders, every member of our contributor panel picked the Chiefs to win. Half of them expected a blowout — and as a group, they thought Kansas City would win 33-18. While that aggregate prediction also called for a blowout, it nonetheless carried 36 […]

Christian Watson isn’t a particularly difficult player to understand. He’s big, he’s fast, and he actually has become a reliable catcher of the football after some rookie scuffles in that department. Metric after metric shows how important he has been, for years, in helping the Green Bay Packers beat man coverage. When he went out […]
The rest of the NFC West was on bye, and no one had to lift a finger to put the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams into first place. All the 49ers had to do was lose to the Houston Texans 26-15. I know some will comment how the Seahawks manhandled the Texans last week, […]
“It’s a passing league.” That’s been one of the mantras of NFL analysts for years. Since the explosion of offenses in the 2000s, like the Greatest Show on Turf or the proliferation of Tom Brady and Peyton Manning, the passing game has taken over the league. But even at the core of those beliefs remained […]

So much complaining about the officials and how they favor the Celtics. The refs have a funny way of favoring the Celtics by giving Detroit 36 free throws to 24 for the Celtics. If every Celtic gave the effort of Payton Pritchard on the boards, the Celtics would be a lot better. Shortest guy on the court led the team in rebounds. On to New Orleans and hopefully a win. My favorites are in bold. What are yours? This needs to be a win. Home opener, ...
The NBA isn’t truly back until a Lakers opponent crashes out over free throws and, boy, are we so back. On Sunday, Austin Reaves poured in a career-high 51 points to lead the shorthanded Lakers past the Kings in Sacramento. It was a remarkable performance from Reaves, who only continues to improve every year in […]
Boo! Halloween may be at the tail end of this week, but the spooks and scares are all over the Toronto Raptors’ opening schedule. After getting bullied by Giannis Antetokounmpo, Anthony Davis, and Cooper Flagg, the Raps’ schedule doesn’t get any less daunting. This week’s opponents feature an alien, Aquaman, a Spider, and someone likely […]
On October 27th in 2007, Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Randy Jones brutally boarded Patrice Bergeron face-first into the glass, leaving the Boston Bruins forward unconscious with three minutes remaining in the first period. Bergeron exited the ice strapped to a stretcher, having suffered a broken nose and concussion on the play, and missed the remaining 72 games of the season. An apologetic
On October 24th in 2009, Philadelphia Flyers captain Mike Richards blindsided winger David Booth with a vicious hit to the head rendering the Florida Panthers forward bloodied and unconscious. Booth left on a stretcher and missed the next 45 games owing to a concussion incurred on the play. Richards received a five minute major and ten minute game misconduct but was not subsequently fined or
All in all, it was a highly productive weekend for Northwestern field hockey. The ‘Cats managed to exorcise their demons on Friday, taking down No. 13 Michigan 3-1 and successfully avenging their lone loss of 2024, a 1-0 defeat at the hands of the Wolverines in the Big Ten title game.

For the second game in a row, the Nets almost pulled off the impossible. After trailing by as much as 26 in the third quarter, the Nets were led by a red hot Cam Thomas, whose scoring single handedly brought them back against the Spurs. But yet again, the inexperience and youth of our beloved […]
The Colorado Buffaloes are one week from their 2025-26 opener. It’s a challenge competing in the loaded Big 12, especially with the limited resources available to Tad Boyle and the coaching staff. The team will be young and perhaps a bit too reliant on incoming freshmen, but they should be more balanced and more competitive […]
