Good morning and welcome to another week in the world of Sunderland Association Football Club – and, as usual, we’re kicking things off with an episode of On This Week, where we take a look back at some of the things that have happened in the history of SAFC on this week in history. On […]
The UEFA Champions League is also back after the international break, and we are now heading into Matchday 5. With teams still fighting for points and places in the next round, every choice matters. I’ve put together my squad for this round, picking players who are in form, have good fixtures, and are likely to […]
Big Red adds a powerful runner to an already impressive 2027 class. Nebraska fans finally received some positive news following the hammering at the hands of Penn State. The Huskers secured the commitment of 2027 running back Amir Brown, a four-star prospect out of Rolesville, North Carolina. At 5-10 and 200 pounds, Brown brings the […]

The full-strength Seattle Seahawks would defeat the Tennessee Titans on average by two scores. So, missing their starting inside linebacker, their center, strong safety, nosetackle, and even their top TD-maker on offense, it follows that they should win by three scores. They kinda did, and I don’t mean by three safeties. Until variance — a […]

Barcelona loanee Inaki Pena shared his thoughts after his Elche side held Real Madrid to a 2-2 draw in La Liga on Sunday night. Elche looked like taking all three points after Alvaro Rodriguez made it 2-1 on 84 minutes, but Jude Bellingham hit back three minutes later. However, there was controversy about the goal, […]
In theory, most would expect a team coming off a four-day break to look refreshed and ready to go. In reality, teams don’t quite operate like that. Instead, the Lakers looked like a team trying to find their rhythm throughout much of the game on Sunday in Utah. Eventually, they found something close to it […]

For the 16th consecutive year, the Toledo Rockets will finish .500 or better. The only longer streaks in the FBS belong to Boise State (28 seasons) and Alabama (19 seasons). Toledo extended that impressive streak Saturday with a dominant 38-9 victory over Ball State on senior day. The Rockets (7-4, 5-2 MAC) remain in play […]
CLEVELAND — The Cleveland Cavaliers didn’t play a perfect game, but it was enough to get past an old and tired Los Angeles Clippers’ team 120-105. Donovan Mitchell is playing at another level. The Clippers are one of the worst defensive teams in the league. They came into Sunday’s game 27th in defensive rating. And […]
Next month the Africa Cup of Nations will deprive Sunderland of several members of the squad. But their absence will provide opportunities for players who have so far been on the fringes of the first team. Reinildo Mandava, Noah Sadiki, Bertrand Traoré, Chemsdine Talbi, Simon Adingra, and Arthur Masuaku are all either certain or likely […]

[email protected] Dear Roker Report, They say a week can be a lifetime in politics, but they should apply that adage to being a Sunderland supporter.

On the odd occasion, a fixture in the football calendar has a narrative that has zero impact on the pitch – and this game was one of the biggest examples. This is especially true when the media is driving a relationship between two personalities, and when Sunderland travelled to the West Midlands to take on […]
It’s been a mark of the impact that the Lads have made during the early months of 2025/2026 that few (if any) games have really felt particularly high stakes, and nor has there ever been a sense that the next game — regardless of the result that preceded it — has anything extra riding on […]
“There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home. There’s no place like home.“ Wizard of Oz for the win. Boise State had looked terrible on offense during the last two games before Saturday’s bout. Head coach Spencer Danielson and offensive coordinator Nate Potter were grilled at Monday’s presser about the lack of strategy […]
Stakes were high for the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday Night Football. A win would give them first place in the NFC conference. They got off to a fast start against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers—leading early 21-0— and never looked back. The final score of 34-7 extends LA’s win streak to six games and moved […]
Pete Carroll may be feeling the heat of a level of losing he’s never experienced and a level of incompetence that may not sit well with upper management. The former Seattle Seahawks head coach has had a wretched first (and only?) season in charge of the Las Vegas Raiders, and for the second time in […]
The Dallas Cowboys were done. They had nothing. They were down 21-0 with 11:32 left in the first half. Everything the Eagles wanted to do, they did. Everything the Cowboys tried, they failed. Then the Eagles imploded. They turned into a roiling mushroom cloud on Sunday at AT&T Stadium, under a deluge of a season-high […]
We return with Episode 773 to recap a great weekend on the basketball court and the football field!

Newcastle United head into their midweek Champions League clash feeling pretty good, having just beaten Manchester City, and doing so at a time when Pep Guardiola’s side was rolling. Up next is a visit to Marseille, a side that sits 19 spots below them in the UEFA Champions League table. That said, it doesn’t mean […]

Baseball Prospectus | Mario Delgado Genzor: ($) BP provides a look at the best individual pitches possessed by pitchers on the free agent market. Despite his poor 2025 season, Devin Williams’ changeup comes in as the best change on the market. It’s heartening, at least for Williams’ future prospects, that any sort of evaluation of […]
This was supposed to be the game that proved which team won the Kevin Durant trade. That’s how the NBA works. This was always supposed to be a referendum. If the Phoenix Suns win, it’ll show everyone that Rafael Stone was fleeced and the Suns have a better future than the Houston Rockets. Unfortunately, the […]

The Chicago Bears need just one more win in their last six games to ensure their first winning record since 2018. Thanksgiving is right around the corner, and Chicago is not only in the playoff mix, but they’re in the three seed atop the NFC North, and they control their playoff destiny. The Bears are […]
