The USMNT will take the field in the World Cup in just a little over a month. At this point, Mauricio Pochettino has a good idea of who he will bring into the team. However, there are some positional battles that still need to be settled and players that need to show they should be […]
When news of Kevin Durant’s initial knee injury first released, the Houston Rockets made the injury out to be a relatively minor thing. In fact, we didn’t even hear about the injury until Friday – one day before Game 1 of the Rockets’ series against the Los Angeles Lakers. Rockets coach Ime Udoka stated that […]
Coming off yet another conference sweep at Minnesota that extended the Big Ten losing streak to nine, Northwestern needed something — anything — to go its way. And despite it coming against the Milwaukee Panthers of the Horizon League, sometimes all a team needs is to remember what winning feels like. The Wildcats (17-24-1, 5-16 […]
Cooper Kim won the NCAA national title in the floor exercise, and the team event with Stanford. He now comes out publicly as gay.
For the third straight start, Zack Littell allowed 8 runs last night. Littell, who was brought in to stabilize the Nats rotation, has been a total liability so far. The home runs are out of control, and there is not a single pitch in Littell’s arsenal that is fooling anybody. It has gotten to the […]
The Rockford IceHogs season came to a quiet close a little over a week ago. What started as a middling season gradually slipped into the IceHogs trending downward for most of the year. They never found a stretch of sustained consistency and each attempt to stabilize things seemed to be followed by another dip. Rockford finished dead last in the Central Division with just 61 points, posting a 28-39-3-2 record.
This marked the first time the IceHogs have missed the playoffs since the 2018-1...
Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo is getting fed up with the almost constant speculation surrounding a potential move for Julian Alvarez.

Seven. Seven Hawkeyes. We have spent more drafts than we care to remember sweating out late-Saturday phone calls wondering if Iowa would squeeze in a kicker before midnight to keep the streak alive. Not this year. This year the Hawkeyes set a record, three offensive linemen heard their names called, and Kirk Ferentz quietly added […]

The First Four in Dayton is now but quaint memory as we careen head-on into the brand new Mediocrity Mega Mania era, a sprawling NIT Lite of a play-in to the NCAA tournament that will include not eight but 24 teams. You didn’t ask for it, and baby, you got it. This is the result […]
BOSTON — To say that Tuesday’s Game 5 between the Celtics and 76ers was ugly is a massive understatement. The Celtics missed 14 consecutive field goals to close out the game, got outscored by 17 points in the fourth quarter, and watched their own fans file out with several minutes left in the ball game. […]
We discussed Bob McGinn and his two decades of polling NFL personnel before the draft.

With 18.5 percent of the season gone, the Cubs have emerged statistically as a Top 5 offense in baseball. Where they fall in that top five depends on which metrics you value most. The point is, this offense is pretty elite so far. It’s interesting, because there are still some very key bats that the […]
I would like to formally apologize to the hockey gods for our hubris as Philadelphia Flyers fans. Once the Flyers went up three games to zero in their series with the Pittsburgh Penguins, we got a little cocky. Look, we haven’t been in the Stanley Cup Playoffs in six years. We haven’t had a home playoff game in eight years. We haven’t had a home playoff win in 10 years. As a wise text once mistakenly sent to me said “Im sorry for some things I said and for throwing ketchup at wall. Emotions go...

The Dallas Cowboys entered the 2026 NFL draft pretty much with a one track mind. Defense, defense, and more defense. While it was in an entirely defensive draft, it was pretty close to being one. By most accounts, the Cowboys 2026 draft haul was a successful one. They absolutely nailed the first-round with S Caleb […]
