Things are going pretty well for Kara Lawson lately. Last spring, her Duke team pushed South Carolina to the brink in the Elite Eight. Recently, she was named the head coach of the U.S. Women’s Olympic Basketball team. And she’s been on a recruiting tear too. In May, Lawson got commitments from 6-4 Taylor Sofilkanich […]
The Miami Dolphins are expected to be big sellers from now until the trade deadline, but De'Von Achane and Jaylen Waddle should be off the table in any deals for Chris Grier.
Hello, friends. There are now 158 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day 2026. We are running out of postseason to entertain us in the meantime. One playoff game is set to be played today, as the Mariners and Blue Jays return to Toronto, with Seattle holding a 3-2 lead, to settle the ALCS. Whatever happens […]
Tonight marks Game 6 of the ALCS, a series that has been interesting. The first two games were relatively uncompetitive, one somewhat close, the other a blowout. The next two games were rather large blowouts going the other direction, knotting the series at two. Friday’s grand slam by Eugenio Suarez broke open a tight game […]
It’s game day, ladies and gentlemen! For the first time in almost a month, our Minnesota Vikings will be taking to the field at U.S. Bank Stadium as they host the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 7 NFL action. We want as many people as possible to be able to follow along with the action, so […]
On Saturday, we discussed the most important Detroit Lions players this week in order to come away from Week 7 with a key victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now it’s time to turn that conversation on its head. The Buccaneers are a really, really solid team that has gone 5-1 to start the year. […]

Commanders links Articles The Athletic (paywall) Should the Commanders trade for a receiver? Will they be buyers or sellers? Mailbag With a few receivers on short contracts potentially available, such as Jakobi Meyers, Calvin Ridley, Chris Olave and Jerry Jeudy, shouldn’t the Commanders look at moving a third- or fourth-round pick to get some more […]

Although the event took place over a month ago, the Spurs shared this video at halftime during Friday’s final preseason game. Enogh cannot be said about the impact Red McCombs made on San Antonio. Known locally for his car dealerships as well as bringing the Spurs to San Antonio, the business magnate invested heavily in […]
One down, four to go. (Or, four to go for now, as we can never count out the possibility of late-breaking, oddly-timed WNBA decisions.) On Friday, the Portland Fire officially announced Alex Sarama as their head coach, tapping the player development guru currently on the staff of the NBA’s Cleveland Cavaliers. The hire, which initially […]
What was it again? 26 or 26.5 point underdogs to Indiana. It truly feels like we are living in an alternate universe when Indiana is a 4 touchdown favorite. Yet, it is not an alternate universe, it is the sad reality when Spartan fans walk away from the game saying, “at least they didn’t cover”. […]

I’ve been on vacation all week so you’ll excuse me as I get back into things. I thought a good way to get back into the flow would be to spend my day watching college football. I mostly settled into LSU-Vanderbilt, and Georgia-Ole Miss, both before the Mizzou-Auburn game. Watching Ole Miss and Georgia battle […]
Just the Facts Know Your Enemy Game Preview I’ve been very interested in this Mammoth team for a minute now. Maybe not in a “adopted western team” way, but more like the way you watch an insect wander around an enclosure. Last year, they were one of the most impactful teams at 5v5 and yet […]
It’s Derby Day and Liverpool are set to return to Premier League action by hosting Manchester United. On Saturday, though, the U18s took on Manchester City’s U18s in what was almost a Baby Derby and is instead an Imposter Derby. Liverpool’s youth system are in a bit of an interesting spot. First, there’s been lots […]
Another Saturday, another brutal loss for the Kentucky Wildcats. Kentucky gave it everything they had, outgunning the Longhorns by over 200 yards, and somehow it wasn’t enough. Cutter Boley looked solid throughout the game. He had some mistakes, but bounced back well from them and had Kentucky in a position to win. If you’re looking […]
Maryland football faltered once again, and it did so late for the third straight week — this time collapsing late against UCLA, 20-17. In a game that featured a staggering 15 combined punts, the football played by both sides was ugly, uncoordinated and downright sloppy. Mistakes, errant throws, turnovers and targeting penalties sullied the product […]
LIVERPOOL VS. MANCHESTER UNITED | Sunday, October 19th |Premier League | Anfield4:30BST/11:30AM EST This is a big one, no doubt. Despite United’s struggles (long may the continue), they’ve held Liverpool to a draw in their last two Anfield visits, and would be made up to once again deny the Reds all three points on their […]
When Dallas traded Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers last winter, fans were outraged. When Anthony Davis, who came over from LA in the trade, was injured, that was bad. Then former Duke star Kyrie Irving blew out an ACL, which was also devastating. However, Dallas got unbelievably lucky in the draft and ended […]
The Miami Dolphins need to win on Sunday, and the weather may provide the avenue to make that happen.
We could have our World Series matchup by the end of the night. After the Dodgers punched their ticket to the Fall Classic on Friday, the spotlight shifted over to the ALCS, where the Mariners have made it farther than they ever have in franchise history by going up 3-2 on the Blue Jays. Saturday […]
This afternoon, the Green Bay Packers will try to maintain their tenuous hold on the lead in the NFC North division on a road trip to the desert.
