Manchester City will be hoping to end a run of successive defeats to Aston Villa as they travel to Villa Park on Sunday afternoon. The Blues lost 1-0 in December 2023 to end a run of eight matches unbeaten in Birmingham, then followed that up almost a year later with a 2-1 defeat. Up until […]
I think we remember eras by players. Unless a coach is at a spot for a long period of time, you tend to associate them with the players who embodied their achievements and/or failures. Who doesn’t tie Ed Orgeron and Joe Burrow at the hip? Even despite everything that came after. I think that, when […]
The Utah Jazz were one of the biggest surprises in the NBA’s opening slate of games, trouncing the Clippers by 21 points in an ultra efficient win on Wednesday night.

You can’t make a deal with Oakley, then everybody on the sidelines is seen wearing Ray-Bans. The league is always looking to make a buck from its game. The official hot dog […]
Help me pick my lunch. Or learn what’s wrong with Minnesota. Or something. MNW’s Lightly-Plagiarized Trivia Anyway. I am having lunch with WSR and a band of associated Minnesota miscreants today. (The other three are all Iowa fans, actually. We in Minnesota really need to end our acceptance of refugee resettlement. I’m tired of all […]
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
Midfielder has grown into a key part of a MLS Cup contender.
For the Astros’ fan, deprived of any meaningful games since late September, this World Series might not seem worth watching. Hard to blame the Houston fan for thinking that. The only notable Astros news centers on the purges of coaches/trainers and the signing of a depth piece at pitcher. Still, a World Series is a […]
Breakout prospects are one of the most exciting parts of minor league baseball.

When the Lakers went into their final game of the preseason against the Sacramento Kings with nearly their entire roster available — minus LeBron James, obviously — it was largely believed this would be a dress rehearsal for their season opener that would come only four days later. Head coach JJ Redick intimated as much […]
First things first, Dominick Barlow had to set the record straight: no, he did not attend St. Joe’s Prep in Philly. Barlow attended Saint Joseph High School in Metuchen, New Jersey, as a freshman before the Hackensack native transferred to Dumont High School. He made it clear back in the early days of training camp […]

David Jiricek probably would have liked to have drawn in for the Minnesota Wild’s home opener against the Columbus Blue Jackets on October 11. Instead, the Wild stuck him in the press box four booths down from Don Waddell, the general manager who traded him after 53 games. While they removed J...
El Clasico is extra special because it comes but twice a year; usually.

I figured Bo Bichette was going to be on the roster. Ty France was a surprise, but I guess they want him as a pitch hitter against the Dodgers left-hander pitchers. Joey Loperfido and Yariel Rodriguez. Rodriguez has had a tough time of it lately, giving up three earned and two home runs in one […]
