I really, really wanted it to work out for Noel Hunt. In the end though, it just wouldn’t. On Sunday afternoon, his second spell in the Reading dugout finally came to an end. Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Doncaster Rovers was hardly the worst result of the Royals’ season so far, but it was an all-too-familiar […]

The Edmonton Oilers have begun the 2025-26 regular-season with a 4-4-1 record in their first nine games. This is identical to their 4-4-1 record in the first nine games of 2024-25.

Much of the blame (that’s not already attributed to the coaches) for UNC’s poor start to the season has been laid to rest at feet of the offense. And rightfully so; UNC’s offense ranked 132nd out of 136 FBS Division 1 schools in yards per game coming into the matchup against Virginia. They only fare […]
Welcome to Saints Gameday! Today: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-2) at New Orleans Saints (1-6) The Saints face the Bucs at home in the Caesars Superdome today in Week 8.

One might expect that an NFL team that has the fewest losses in its conference and currently holds the #1 seed would inspire plenty of confidence in their fans and in the broader NFL community.

You know the scene. A coach stands there in the sideline, the game is already well in hand. Unfortunately, it’s not this guy’s hand. He’s losing this one, and there’s nothing he can do about it. “Phil Fulmer’s special elastic buffet pants!” you exclaim, “what must that poor guy be thinking?“ As usual, I have […]

Very interested to see what the Philadelphia Eagles look like today. It’ll be pretty difficult to take the Birds seriously if they don’t put forth a strong effort against a New York Giants team that bullied them just 17 days ago. If the Eagles were at full health, I’d say this is a spot where […]
This is it. The Ravens have had their bye week. Lamar Jackson isn’t playing yet, but instead of Cooper Rush, it’s Tyler Huntley who is starting. If the Ravens win this, they have a chance to double up and get to 3-5 within a week. If they lose, they fall to 1-6, and their season […]

The old question of “What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object?” could not be better to describe the Dallas Cowboys week eight matchup versus the Denver Broncos.

The San Francisco 49ers are taking on the Houston Texans in Week 8, looking to improve to 6-2 and potentially be the top team in the NFC.
