The 49ers drafted Mykel Williams 11th overall with the expectation that — while he had work to do to improve as a pass rusher — he would instantly improve their run defense. Williams might not be immediately jumping off the screen week on week but, as the 49ers head into their Week 8 meeting with […]

In 1988, the Los Angeles Dodgers played the Oakland A’s in the World Series. The Dodgers were the underdogs for most of the playoffs, a task made tougher by injuries to star outfielder Kirk Gibson, who had both a left hamstring injury and a swollen right knee. He didn’t play at all in Game 1 […]

The Portland Trail Blazers’ bench is completely different when Matisse Thybulle plays. What we saw from him yesterday in the Blazers’ 20-point win over a tired, but still formidable Golden State Warriors team was a masterclass in defensive disruption, and his near-team-high +22 in just 15 minutes didn’t feel aberrational or misleading. On the latest […]
After years of everyone seemingly knowing about the problem other than the Lakers, the team finally admitted they stink in third quarters after their season-opening loss to the Warriors. Even if it was long overdue, seeing them finally address it was at least a step in the right direction. But the team needed to follow […]

The Portland Trail Blazers have been through a whirlwind first week of their 2025-26 season. They lost a narrow, fast-paced game to the heavily-favored Minnesota Timberwolves.

The Devils have won 6 games in a row going in, and the Sharks had only just won their first game less than 24 hours earlier against the New York Rangers in what was a fireworks show of a hockey game. In what has been the Sharks’ strategy with rookies on back-to-back nights to ease them into the NHL, the team sat Michael M...
