I got jumbled up in doing some last-minute holiday errands, so you’ll have to excuse the lack of a pre-match preamble. Needless to say, this is a massive match that Roma must win to maintain their spot in the top four, not to mention passing a critical benchmark to be considered legitimate contenders near the […]

It had been nine years since the last time a team had at least 580 total yards and lost, but that’s what the L.A. Rams did on Thursday against the Seahawks in overtime. The Rams had their highest offensive output of the entire Sean McVay era but couldn’t find a way to win when ironically […]

In Week 15, the Green Bay Packers defense turned in perhaps its worst defensive performance of the season. The Denver Broncos and head coach Sean Payton found multiple ways to attack some of the schematic tendencies and personnel weaknesses the Packers’ defense suffers from. In addition to this, the defense lost Micah Parsons to an […]

With very limited exceptions I don’t think it’s ever a good idea to draft a tight end in the first round of the NFL draft. Even good ones often take some time to develop, and while elite, multi-faceted tight ends are incredibly valuable, you can get “good enough” production from the middle rounds with regularity. […]

Maybe the Chicago Bulls should just play the Cleveland Cavaliers 82 times a year? Stunningly, the Bulls managed to pull off their second straight double-digit defeat of the Cavaliers on Friday night, a 136-125 road victory , behind a fairly balanced, fast-breaking attack. Forward Matas Buzelis and center Nikola Vucevic led the way with 24 points each. With the win (its third in the last four games), Chicago improved to a borderline-respectable 12-15 record, and will next face off aga...

Author’s note: I apologize for the tardiness of this quick bites. I went to the game, but have been under the weather and unable to finish it up. The San Jose Sharks managed to hang with the Dallas Stars and show that this team has some of the skill that it needs to play among the best in the NHL, but that finish isn’t quite there. The best teams in the NHL know how to negate mistakes, and the Sharks, well, they’re still learning. The biggest mistake is likely the one that cost the t...
