Aston Villa had a disastrous first leg of their UEL semi-final tie with Nottingham Forest on Thursday night. Not only did they lose at the City Ground 1-0, but midfielder Amadou Onana suffered a fresh injury. Onana had just been passed fit, after missing out on last weekend’s loss to Fulham, with a minor knee […] The post Aston Villa Team News vs Tottenham: Amadou Onana, Alysson appeared first on The Sports Bank .
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 […]
While the Yankees’ Monday night game in Texas was never a blowout, much of it felt like it was trending towards a fairly comfortable Bombers win. Ben Rice and Aaron Judge continued to be stalwarts in the Yankees’ lineup, each going deep to help build up a lead. Meanwhile on the mound, starter Max Fried […]
The Philadelphia Flyers just suffered a disheartening Game 5 loss where not a whole lot went wrong, but not a whole lot went right either. There were hiccups and major missed opportunities as the veteran players that the team relies on so much seemed to feel the pressure of killing off the Penguins, and some poor decisions were made. If you really wanted to be optimistic about the loss and not dwell on how the Flyers’ 3-0 series lead is now just a 3-2 series lead as they had back to Phila...

Notre Dame’s spring practice season is now in the rearview mirror, but the recruiting cycle is dead ahead. The Irish are trying to capitalize on last cycle’s success and have a strong product to sell recruits. As the recruiting calendar has changed over the years, so too has the intensity of the cycle. Normally May […]
The 16th-ranked Virginia Tech Hokies softball squad was back in action at Tech Softball Park this weekend, looking to break a rare losing streak, facing the North Carolina Tar Heels. The Hokies had lost three in a row, two to Georgia Tech and one to Liberty, to fall to 38-9 on the season. Things got […]
The Indianapolis Colts completed their 8-player rookie class this past extended weekend for the 2026 NFL Draft—and the Horseshoe faithful have weighed in. 51% of Colts fans gave Indianapolis a “B” grade, which seems pretty favorable given that their favorite team didn’t have a first round pick this year. If given the option, I would […]
Barcelona have reportedly been offered the chance to sign Fluminense winger Riquelme Felipe in a deal worth 7 million euros. The 19-year-old talent is an exciting prospect and would likely land somewhere between Barca Atletic and the first team if he does make the move to Barca, according to Cadena SER. The potential transfer is […]
The Dallas Mavericks capped off a rough season with a silver lining, as rookie phenom Cooper Flagg was named 2025-2026 NBA Rookie of the Year Monday night. In what was a polarizing race between he and Charlotte Hornets’ Kon Knueppel, we saw one of the most historic rookie campaigns from the former, pitted against one […]
The Texas Rangers scored two runs but the New York Yankees scored four runs. In the span of four hitters between the third and fourth innings, the Yankees hit three home runs off an otherwise cruising Jack Leiter, two of them with two outs in the third and one to lead off the fourth. Suddenly […]
The old saying in baseball is you win 50, lose 50, and it’s what you do with the rest that counts, but what the adage doesn’t take into account is the number of games that are Cursèd. For the Seattle Mariners, those Cursèd Games seem to usually happen in spring in the Midwest, or in […]
After a remarkably bad showing from the officials in Sunday’s Game 4, punishments have been handed out… ….to the Lakers. Marcus Smart and Luke Kennard were handed fines of $35,000 and $25,000, respectively, for separate issues involving the officials. Smart’s fine came for “questioning the integrity of game officials,” while Kennard’s was “for directing inappropriate […]
It was a dark and stormy night when a dark plague descended upon downtown Minneapolis. A plague of losses, a plague of runs, never leading at any point in a game in nearly a week. But our hero Kody Clemens emerged from one blogger’s hate-filled game preview with a single goal: score. Thanks, Kody. I’ll […]
The Minnesota Vikings concluded an eventful three days of the NFL Draft that included a few trades, including Jonathan Greenard, the drafting of nine players, and the signing of 19 undrafted free agents. It was largely a defensive draft for the Vikings, with the first three picks going for defensive players and four of the […]

Tonight saw the series shift back to Pittsburgh for Game 5, with the Flyers looking to bounce back from a difficult loss on home ice on Saturday. And while the Flyers were able to come up with a bit more pace, it wasn’t enough to drive them past what the Penguins were able to throw at them, as they fell short for a second straight game. The basics First period: 2:45- Elmer Soderblom (Mantha, Wotherspoon) Second period: 3:17- Connor Dewar (Crosby, Lizotte), 3:29- Alex Bump (Ristolaine...
Those who are still inclined to deride Italian football as too defensive probably look to Juventus and AC Milan as their top piece of evidence. Sunday’s game between the two Italian giants was the fourth goalless draw in their past five league matches. In a match between two old warhorses of the Italian coaching ranks, […]

Our friends at SB Nation NFL published their 2027 NFL Mock Draft, and while the Indianapolis Colts also don’t have next year’s first round pick as a result of last year’s trade deadline Sauce Gardner deal, it’s interesting to think about the potential possibilities. For what’s it’s worth, SB Nation’s James Dator projected the New […]
John Court’s last Arizona gymnastics staff consisted of a group of relatively young coaches. He’s split the difference with his latest hires. The program announced the hires of two assistant coaches on Monday afternoon. Court kept it in the family with the hire of graduating senior Emma Strom. He went for experience with former Georgia […]
