LeBron James and the Lakers haven’t always been a match made in heaven. A generation of Kobe Bryant fans who viewed LeBron as the rival were now watching him suit up in purple and gold and forced to reckon with it. Things haven’t been seamless for his time in Los Angeles, but it hasn’t stopped […]

After a dozen or so games as interim manager at Derby County, Liam Rosenior got his first proper job as a football manager when he was appointed Hull City boss in November 2022. He had spent his prime years at Hull as a player back in the 2010s, so it was a lovely little homecoming […]

Kai Havertz has certainly been unfortunate lately, when it comes to injuries. He has suffered a fresh setback, which has been reported to be a “muscular injury.” The German forward will miss the rest of this month, and that’s really too bad, when you consider how Havertz was only a month into his comeback from […] The post Arsenal Team News vs Wigan Athletic: Kai Havertz, William Saliba appeared first on The Sports Bank .

February sees Michael Jordan, His Airness himself, turn 63. Not only he is widely considered the greatest basketball player of all time, but the debates about who could actually be on his level, a potential rival for the G.O.A.T. status, are actually pretty laughable. (Lebron James may be the scoring king, surpassing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, but […] The post What Makes the Michael Jordan 1986-87 Fleer #57 Rookie Card So Timeless appeared first on The Sports Bank .

The Arizona Cardinals are running it back with a couple of their coaches. After we just found out that Nick Rallis will be returning as the Arizona Cardinals defensive coordinator, there are now also reports that the Cardinals will bring Justin Frye back as offensive line coach. This is an interesting move, and while the […]

The NFL, a schedule filled with triumph and heartbreak, sees a new champion crowned each February. Yet, as of 2024, there are twelve teams that have yet to claim a Super Bowl title. Their stories, filled with near misses and dashed hopes, add their own unique chapter to the ever-growing tale of the league. Each […] The post The Uncrowned Dozen: 12 NFL Teams Without a Super Bowl Victory appeared first on The Sports Bank .

The relegation of AS Saint-Étienne in the spring of 2025 served as a reminder that no monument of French football is eternally protected.

You get sunlight every day, but is your body still lacking its “sunshine”? Many people think they just have a calcium deficiency, but it might actually be vitamin D.

At the intersection of futility and ethical tanking, there you’ll find the 2025-26 Dallas Mavericks (19-35). The Mavericks dropped their ninth straight loss on Thursday, this time to the Los Angeles Lakers (33-21) at Crypto.com Arena, 124-104. Dallas’ nine-game losing streak is now the franchise’s longest since the Mavs dropped 14 straight in the 1998-99 […]

The Premier League rarely disappoints when it comes to drama, and the 2025/26 season is shaping up to be one of the most competitive in recent years.

The Dallas Mavericks took on the Los Angeles Lakers in their last game before breaking for All-Star weekend. Both teams were missing star players (Cooper Flagg and Luka Doncic), but it was the Lakers who served up the Mavs a 124-104 loss. Let’s get to the grades! Brandon Williams: B+ 17 PTS / 5 REB […]

Losing away at Arsenal (the soon-to-be Premier League champions) and then at home against Liverpool (the reigning trophy-holders) is not the disaster that some social media dwellers would have you believing if you took their words with anything more than a shovelful of salt. Yes, it’s perfectly understandable that Sunderland would drop points against such […]

History would suggest that at this point of the Division Three campaign, the mood around the club was fairly buoyant. Denis Smith had taken over, we’d been top of the table since mid-October, and we were unbeaten in the league since a 2-1 Halloween reverse at Notts County. However, a disappointing single-goal reverse endured by […]

We’ve seen this before. It’s a familiar movie, with the same script, a different director and different subject matter, yet the same core theme — a Sunderland player becoming a lightning rod for the team’s failure to perform on any given day. For years, the starring role was played by Luke O’Nien, ludicriously branded a […]

Ciaran McKenna says… Suffering back-to-back league defeats and losing our impervious home record were tough blows to take but losing to one of the best teams in the world — and the reigning league champions at that — is nothing to be ashamed of.

The cold seems to come in sideways at Eppleton. It always has, and even on days when the sun sits low and orange over the stand, there’s a bite in the air that seems stitched into the place, as if the ground remembers every winter it’s ever endured. On this particular afternoon, the wind is […]

According to Tony Jones, who was on local Utah Radio, Sam Presti is the cause behind all of the problems and scrutiny of the Utah Jazz in hopes of getting the Thunder the Jazz’s top-8 protected pick. The frustrating part is that it did work in a few ways. The NBA has already fined the Utah […]

The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Dallas Mavericks 124-104 on Thursday at Crypto.com Arena behind a vintage effort from LeBron James. It was the Mavs’ final game before the All-Star break, and they didn’t exactly go out with a bang. The game in LA was lacking a certain amount of star power with both Cooper […]

A strong third quarter and a triple-double from LeBron James saw the Lakers head into the All-Star break on a high with a comfortable 124-104 win over the Mavs on Thursday. LA won the third period 32-19 and the second half 60-41, blowing the game open and putting away a Dallas team all-too-happy to lose. […]

After a feisty and generally entertaining 48 minutes of basketball, the Utah Jazz ultimately fell to the Portland Trailblazers, 119-135. But hey! This loss with zero minutes of Lauri Markkanen will allow us to dodge the $500,000 anti-tank hammer viciously swung down on the… win with 25 minutes of Lauri Markkanen. Adds up. Brice Sensabaugh […]

While the Arizona Cardinals continued their search for a defensive coordinator, there was always some who believed they may already have him. Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports is reporting that the Cardinals will retain Nick Rallis as defensive coordinator.

I don’t get to sit inside the stadium very often for home Notre Dame Football games.

The Jazz lose a sloppy game 135-119 to the Portland Trail Blazers. Svi kept it close in the 4th quarter for a while, but Portland proved to be too good, and cruised to a comfortable win. Ace Bailey – B Bailey had a ridiculous dunk tonight, where he faked a shot, lobbed it off the […]
