The New England Patriots already know their 2026 opponents, and have done so since the end of the regular season in January. What they do not know yet, however, is when they will play all of them. With the NFL Draft in the rear view mirror and the calendar having turned to May, that mystery […]
The Notre Dame Baseball team is on a bit of a roll right now, and the series sweep of Oakland over the weekend put the Irish winning streak at 8 with just 4 games to go in the regular season (Dayton and a 3 game series VS Pitt). Notre Dame Baseball: Irish Sweep Golden Grizzlies […]
Context matters when breaking down sports. “A banged-up Joel Embiid lost in the second round of the NBA Playoffs,” sounds like a familiar story, but that’s only if you ignore everything that’s happened over the last two-plus years. Sure, there was plenty of disappointment after the Sixers were crushed in Game 4 Sunday by the […]
A late Spirit goal and lack of finishing undoes a lot of quality play elsewhere on the field.
What did Sunday night’s Game 5 win take for the Minnesota Timberwolves? “Some heart,” Rudy Gobert said to the Target Center crowd after the madness had ended. Where do we even start? Perhaps the part where this should have been less close than it ended up as, with a sharp elbow to the face? With […]
Early in the second quarter tonight, Victor Wembanyama, who was being manhandled by multiple players every time he entered the game, tried to spin his way out of a double bear hug from a couple of Wolves, and caught Naz Reid hard on the neck with an elbow. The referees called this a flagrant foul […]
Well, you felt good about a sweep going in. All you had to do was best the Tigers bullpen, and after overcoming a 3-0 deficit to tie it after 4 innings, the Royals looked primed to sweep their divisional foe. However, Gage Workman, who literally got recalled this afternoon from AAA hit his first career […]
Barcelona star Raphinha made his return from injury on Sunday as a substitute in the 2-0 win over Real Madrid at Camp Nou. The victory secured a second consecutive league title for Catalans under manager Hansi Flick. It was a difficult day for the coach, who lost his father ahead of the game, and Raphinha […]
The younger Detroit Tigers powered them to victory on Sunday, snapping a five-game skid. Gage Workman launched his first major league homer after being called up for Kerry Carpenter earlier in the day. Hao-Yu Lee and Wenceel Pérez had big RBI knocks, as did Matt Vierling, and the bullpen was pretty good overall filling in […]
Fortunately, at least one Brooklyn basketball team we know came out on top against Washington today. Following their excellent home win against the Connecticut Sun to kick off the WNBA season, the New York Liberty hit the road to begin a three game road trip. Their first outing was against a game Washington Mystics team […]
First period The broadcast talks about the struggles of Cole Caufield and Tage Thompson, and both feature on the opening goal of the game. Caufield gets the puck alone in his own slot and makes a flip toward the blue line that goes nowhere. Rasmus Dahlin ends up getting a shot as a result, and the puck bounces off the end boards and trickles right to Thompson alone at the side of the net to get an easy goal to bust his slump. Phillip Danault’s line gets a good chance trying to even...
Jesus Rodriguez had a chance to end Sunday’s game against Pittsburgh in the 10th inning. The bases were loaded, Willy Adames had just come through with a 2-out, 2-RBI single to knot the Giants back up with the Pirates at six. All the Bay Area mothers, crowned under their inside-out rally caps and feted with […]
Barcelona 2 – 0 Real Madrid Player Ratings Thibaut Courtois: 8. Made five saves, and if not for him, Real Madrid would’ve lost by more than two goals. Trent Alexander-Arnold: 6. He made four key passes and whipped in dangerous set-pieces. Recovered well defensively after being beaten by Fermín López initially. Raúl Asencio: 4. Made […]
After 41 games, the Rockies are 16-25 (.390). That includes a much-improved road record of 8-14 on the road, but a 4-13 record against teams above .500, which might be expected. What might not be is the Rockies battling the Giants (16-24) last place in the NL West instead of claiming by a mile. With […]
The result on Saturday against Chelsea may have been mostly disappointing, but there was a small sweet moment that was saved for the day. Irish Liverpool fan Sean Cox was at Anfield for the match and able to meet with Mohamed Salah before the match, reuniting them before Salah’s departure this summer. Cox was attacked […]
Nebraska not only had the most former wrestlers of any college in the United States competing at the Pan American Championships, they all found a way to the medal stand. Represting Team USA, Ridge Lovett and Liam Cronin both won gold medals, while Caleb Smith and Mikey Labriola both won silver — both representing Puerto […]
While the tournament hasn't likely been on anyone's radar outside of the teams, families, and organizations playing, I have been watching the 2026 Canadian National Para Hockey Championship all week. One of the things we pledged to do on The Hockey Show was to give sledge hockey in Manitoba and, by proxy, in Canada a bigger stage, and there is no bigger tournament in Canada than the National Championship! Team Manitoba packed their gear, hopped onto an airplane, and headed for Boucherville, Qu...
In the latest episode of Dbacks Dispatch, the Diamondbacks finally offered something for us all to look forward to discussing with co-workers this Monday morning. After a long stretch of frustration since the Blue Jays visited Chase Field, the team took two of three games from the New York Mets. The atmosphere around the club […]
Josko Gvardiol is back! And just in time too. On Friday, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola cleared his stellar Croatian defender (who recovered from a tibial fracture) to play, saying at his weekly press conference: “Josko is ready too, so it’s good.” However, Little Pep did not make the matchday squad, for City’s 3-0 home […] The post Manchester City Team News vs Crystal Palace: Josko Gvardiol, Rodri, Abdukodir Khusanov appeared first on The Sports Bank .
Now that the 2026 NFL Draft is done, it’s time for some film rooms on the Philadelphia Eagles’ rookie class. Over the coming weeks, I’ll be publishing individual film breakdowns on the Eagles’ 2026 draft class here at Bleeding Green Nation. My pre-draft rankings and position previews are still up if you want to cross-reference. […]
What a weekend it was for Purdue this weekend at Alexander Field. Not only did the Boilermakers get a dramatic sweep of rival Indiana, they got a huge boost in their hopes for an NCAA Tournament bid. Really though, Brandon Rogers was the story. Rogers had missed the last month after breaking a bone in […]
Catcher Sean Murphy has had rotten injury luck since joining the Atlanta Braves via trade prior to the 2023 season. He’s only once played in more than 100 games since becoming a Braves and in 2026 he made his season debut on this past road trip after missing the end of the 2025 season and […]
Arizona is headed to its 38th NCAA postseason of the last 39 that were held. The Wildcats will have to fight it out on the road if they hope to make it to their 26th Women’s College World Series. History is on the Wildcats’ side. They have only lost in regionals four times in 37 […]
Graham Ike is done at Gonzaga. He arrived in Spokane as a zero-star recruit from Aurora, Colorado, a high-upside gamble with a long injury history and a six-foot-nine frame that made scouts wonder if he was built to dominate the modern college game. Three seasons later, he left as one of the greatest players in […]
It’s hard to hear after a division rival took over their building and swept them out of the playoffs, but the 2025-26 season was a pretty high-end outcome for the Sixers. They beat the Boston Celtics in a playoff series, Joel Embiid has felt as good as he has about his left knee since January […]
