1. ENZO FERNÁNDEZ (8.2) Captain’s armband. Semifinal goal. Point to the badge in celebration. And this is the guy we’re trying to get rid of? Liam Rosenior described that whole situation as “complex”. But here’s what’s not complex. He’s got that dog in him. We often pine for the days, the attitudes, the mentality of […]
One of the biggest reasons people didn’t believe in the Celtics coming into the season was because of their centers and how little they had proven entering the season. As the season went on, it became clear that Neemias Queta is a quality starting center and that Luka Garza and trade deadline addition Nikola Vucevic […]
Eighty-one seconds into the fourth quarter of Game 4, Jayson Tatum dribbled passed midcourt and with the help of a Neemias Queta screen, walked into a three-pointer. Kelly Oubre walked into his landing space for an and-1. With that, the lead ballooned to 30 points and statistically, it was proof positive of Boston’s priorities this […]
Much had been said about the Nuggets lackluster performance in the three losses leading up to Monday night’s elimination game at…

Your daily dose of Everton news and rumours Could a Premier League club lose their European place once again? Everton are at risk. [BBC] Aston Villa will reportedly demand £20 million to sell 31-year-old Scottish international John McGinn in the summer transfer window amid his links with Everton. [The Hard Tackle] Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has called upon Everton’s […]
The question of this game was bound to come down to one thing and one thing only: could the Minnesota Timberwolves survive the loss of not just their starting point guard but also the superstar leader of their team? The answer: a resounding no. Unfortunately for Wolves fans, it got even worse. There are now […]
It was almost shocking to see. The most dominant closer in the MLB allowed a run. In fact, he allowed two runs. San Diego Padres closer Mason Miller worked 34 2/3 innings without allowing a runner to cross the plate. That streak came to an end in the top of the ninth inning against the […]
Sunderland fans who thought they had lost their commemorative Stadium of Light bricks forever were handed a lifeline by passionate Lads fan David Bambrough as his ‘Wall of Fame’ project was launched this month – so we thought we’d grab the man himself for a chat! On today’s show… All this and more! Get subscribed […]
Hello, Chicago Bears fans! Welcome to week one post-2026 NFL Draft. We have seen the Bears take seven players in the NFL Draft across six rounds. So, who are these guys, and what did they have to say after they were drafted by the Chicago Bears? I will be recapping what each player’s reaction to […]
After a three-hour rain delay, the White Sox and Angels decided to start playing tonight’s game … at 9:40 p.m. CT. Or for this writer and editor, 10:40 p.m. The game ended 35 minutes into Tuesday in Chicago, but the Good Guys somehow pulled off a massive comeback, winning 8-7. Oh, and Mune leads the […]
On this episode of ‘Oskee Talk’ I spotlight the Fighting Illini’s trio of NFL Draft picks — Gabe Jacas (2:49), J.C. Davis (10:05) and Miles Scott (14:47). I also revisit the numbers & break down the pro prospects of some of Illinois’ top undrafted free agents, Luke Altmyer (20:15) and Hank Beatty (32:04). Click HERE […]
The NBA Draft class of 2026 appears to be absolutely nothing like the 2024 draft class, and for that, we give thanks to the basketball gods. Tangible star power that bleeds beyond the top pick has forced nearly a third of the good citizens of the league to sabotage this year’s crop for the prospects […]
They say what goes around comes around, and in a game in which walks played a pivotal part in the Marlins’ handling of Dodgers’ ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto, the same applied for the Dodgers against closer Pete Fairbanks to set up a comeback win—Kyle Tucker had his first signature moment as a Dodger, delivering a two-out […]
According to Michael Pina, the Utah Jazz would be one of many teams that would have a varying degree of interest in Kevin Durant if he becomes available. From Pina’s article: The Rockets thought that KD was their missing piece, and instead, there’s a chance they’ll turn him into a stepping stone this summer. It turns […]
Notre Dame and CJ Carr took a little bit of heat from the casuals after a Blue-Gold spring football game that was a little underwhelming. The spring game should never be a major indicator — good or bad — of how a program will perform during the season, and in some post spring rankings, it […]
The first time most of us watched Liam Delap in action, we surely all came away quite impressed. It was December in the middle of last season, at Portman Road, and the young striker single-handedly grafted his way a Man of the Match performance in leading Ipswich Town to a 2-0 win against Chelsea. It […]
I’m worried. Actually, no. Not necessarily worried, but concerned. Not about Sunderland’s direction of travel on the pitch because that remains very encouraging even in spite of Friday night’s implosion at home to Nottingham Forest, but it’s what’s currently happening in other areas that’s causing a nagging doubt to evolve into something of greater concern: […]
Anth Gair says… Of all the birthday presents I asked for last Friday, a battering wasn’t on the list. We always do this — enjoy nice things written being about us, hand the ball back and ask the pundits to think again. My advice is dead simple: “Get off the beach and back on the […]
Sunderland had thumped Sheffield United just three days earlier — amid a barnstorming finish and with a hat-trick from Wilf Rostron — to go top of the division. Steady nerves and composure were all that was needed to clinch promotion in their last two games but unfortunately, no one told Cardiff City that this was […]

It’s that time of year again for us: time to update things just as we’ve done for 19 straight seasons. We aren’t going to count them up, but this is around our 400th report through thick (mostly) and thin. Like many previous ones, it will be numbers-heavy. Deal with it. This year, off-course, is different. […]
The 2026 NFL Draft has come and gone. The Houston Texans added eight players to their roster, addressing various positional and depth needs. Concurrently, the sports media that spent so much time evaluating prospects and looking at team’s needs is now engaging in the time-honored tradition of instant grades for a group of players that […]
When a baseball team is playing as poorly as the Phillies are, there is plenty of blame to go around. Many have fixed their gaze on the tenuous job security of Rob Thomson and there is merit to it. Thomson has made some decisions that cause one’s brow to furrow, but he alone is not […]
It's funny how one can discover how much one likes something after not doing it for a while. I used to write weekly recaps on Wednesdays here on HBIC called "Antler Banter" about the Manitoba Moose that looked at all things happening around the team. This was before the Winnipeg Jets arrived in town, and I was one of the few people who covered the team without being affiliated or having a press pass. Watching the Moose host Milwaukee this week has rekindled that interest in the AHL squad, so i...
Hey, 13-15… that’s… not so bad, right? The past decade or so of Giants Baseball has — except for that one time — basically conditioned us to expect and embrace mediocrity and here we are, paired again with a familiar friend. That’s actually preferrable to the vibes — nay, the objective reality — that followed […]
