Kylian Mbappe delivered an absolute banger opening goal in France's FIFA World Cup opening game against Senegal. He did a flute celebration after scoring, raising questions about the unique gesture.
The NFL season is an evolving state of affairs, and week 7 against the Saints presents a new challenge for the Chicago Bears. They will be entering this week’s contest as rare favorites for the first time all season. How will they respond under Ben Johnson as favorites? In this weekly series, I’ll be featuring […]
Football’s a deeply ironic game, really. For instance, Reading can go on an unbeaten run despite being very poor going forwards, and then lose that unbeaten run despite putting in – by far – their best attacking performance of the season. My main gripe with Noel Hunt’s management has been just how stale, flat and […]
The Wisconsin Badgers are facing off against the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes in Week 8, riding a four-game losing streak in their roughest stretch in recent program history. Kickoff is slated for 2:30 p.m. on CBS. Wisconsin is coming off a 37-0 loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes last weekend, marking their third conference loss […]
There are a handful of games every season that seem to define who you are as a team. This sort of feels like one of those. Can the Dawgs shake off a late night in Auburn and play their best football before they absolutely have to? Before it’s too late to matter? Let’s hope so. […]
Is there anything to discuss today besides Shohei Ohtani? Talk about waking a sleeping giant. Ohtani almost makes this look easy, and it’s hard to remember that this incredible skill didn’t happen by chance—Ohtani built himself this way over years and years of single-minded dedication. Makes you wonder what you can do if you really […]
The Falcons renew a rivalry against their old NFC West foes when they travel to The Bay for a date against the San Francisco 49ers. Geographically, it didn’t make much sense, but the Falcons and 49ers used to duke it out twice a year (and sometimes thrice) from 1967 until realignment moved the Birds to […]
Signing Poona Ford in free agency as a replacement for Bobby Brown is among the best one-for-one upgrades in the NFL this season. Ford has elevated the Los Angeles Rams defense and is playing a major role in the team’s success in 2025. Ford and Brown are diverging in 2025 These are the Pro Football […]
It has been my belief for a while that the baseball season does not “need” to be 162 games long. A far shorter season is more than sufficient to determine who are the best teams, with everything after that largely being limited to the re-arranging of playoff spots. In April this year, I looked at […]
Gonzaga basketball is officially back—even if the season hasn’t technically started yet. The Zags open exhibition play on Sunday, October 19, at the McCarthey Athletic Center with a tune-up against Northwest University, an NAIA program out of Kirkland, Washington, that finished 5-23 last year but brings back two starters, including leading scorer Trent Williams. The […]
The Giants’ managerial search seems to be nearing an end, with a surprising name emerging from the college ranks. The Athletic’s Andrew Baggarly, Brittany Ghiroli, and Ken Rosenthal report that “the Giants are closing in on hiring” University of Tennessee head coach Tony Vitello as their next skipper. Vitello told The Athletic by text that…
Purdue once again opened the doors to Mackey to host a joint practice/intra-squad scrimmage where Purdue’s roster split apart to compete in three 12-minute scrimmages against each other in front of fans and media. Here’s some instant takeaways from the most extended look at Purdue’s roster a week before its exhibition at Kentucky next Friday. […]
Borussia Dortmund were unable to catch Bayern Munich, despite a good second half effort, falling to a 2-1 defeat at the Allianz Arena this evening. Goals from Harry Kane and Michael Olise (with a helping hand from Jobe Bellingham) gave Bayern the advantage. Julian Brandt pulled one back, but it wasn’t enough. Bayern gave BVB […]
Mark P It occurs to me that I could’ve been called myself “Moderator Mark” for the last six years of these chats. While I wince at the missed opportunity, let’s take some of your questions and address some admittedly more relevant baseball topics! Ca$hman Does Trent Grisham get a qualifying offer? Does he accept it if…
Joseph Umberto Picotto’s journey in his first season representing No. 8 Maryland men’s soccer has been far from ordinary. After starting the first two games of the 2025 campaign, the UMBC transfer battled an illness, which sidelined him for a month of action. While it took some time for Umberto Picotto to get back to […]
West Virginia (2–5, 0–4 Big 12) fell behind early and never found its footing in a 45–13 loss to UCF (4–3, 1–3) on Saturday in Orlando. The Knights set the tone from the opening drive and never let up, turning turnovers and field position into points while WVU’s offense sputtered throughout. To make matters worse, […]
TSN's hockey analyst joined Hustler to talk about the NHL club of Winnipeg.

At the end of a five-games-in-eight-days stretch, the Maple Leafs will need to dig deep as they seek their third straight win against the 2-0-2 Seattle Kraken (7:00 p.m. EST, Sportsnet). Game Day Quotes Lane Lambert on the challenge presented by his former team: They’re a dynamic hockey team with tremendous individual skill. They don’t […] The post Toronto Maple Leafs vs. Seattle Kraken – Game #6 Projected Lines, Preview & TV Info appeared first on Maple Leafs Hotstove .
DraftKings NFL Picks This week, I traded my weekly Start’em Sit’em column to take on the DraftKings piece after three solid DFS wins in the last three weeks. I’ve been riding the Cowboys trio (Dak, Pickens, Ferguson) to paydirt, and was asked to share some key roster builder tips for the NFL slate in week 7. Of […]
It’s back to business as usual for head coach David Braun and Northwestern football as they look to capitalize against an under-.500 team in Purdue at home to pick up a fifth win and inch closer to bowl eligibility. Here’s everything you need to know to catch the ‘Cats this afternoon for the final home […]
I always wonder what I would have done. I think, I would have brought Hoffman in and tell him “you have six outs to get, I’m not going to take you out no matter what. This is why you are here.” The worry would have been that he has given up a lot of home […]
For the first time in 2025, Indiana football has a clean availability report ahead of its matchup, with the Hoosiers’ report ahead of the matchup against Michigan State only showing players who are out for the season. While Bryson Bonds and Lee Beebe Jr. remain out for the season, freshman defensive back Byron Baldwin is […]
Puka Nacua and Rob Havenstein will not be on the field early Sunday morning when the Los Angeles Rams take on the Jacksonville Jaguars in London. It’s unfortunate when players lose their starting jobs because of injury, though Havenstein’s absence has created a massive opportunity for Warren McClendon. Can McClendon capitalize and become LA’s full-time […]
The 2025 season was a disaster for Jake Irvin pretty much from start to finish. Really, Irvin has not been the same guy since that insane July 4th start against the Mets in 2024. He showed so much promise in the first half of 2024, but has really pitched his way out of the Nationals […]
With the preseason in the rear view mirror, the Lakers are trimming down the extra pieces on their roster. On Saturday, the team announced they had waived RJ Davis, Augustas Marčiulionis, Anton Watson and Nate Williams. All four players were on Exhibit-10 contracts. As a reminder, an Exhibit-10 contract incentivizes a player to sign with […]
