The Good, the Bad, the Ugly: Bowl Season

Bowl season is officially over and it was less than spectacular for the Mountain West. Each team entered the bowl season with high hopes, but results were not ideal with the Mountain West winning only two of the seven bowl games they appeared in. Over the past two weeks, we reviewed the Potato Bowl and […]

Phillies potential trade target: Brendan Donovan

Continuing my look around the majors to see if any of the players rumored to be on the trade market make sense for the Phillies. Today, I’ll examine St. Louis Cardinals utility man Brendan Donovan. The background Donovan burst onto the scene in 2022, winning a Gold Glove award and finishing third in National League […]

Chinakhov latest in Penguins quest for progressive upgrades

I saw someone here on Pensburgh (kudos to who it was and apologies for the faulty memory) equate Kyle Dubas’s progressive wheeling and dealing into the ‘one red paperclip’ theory and that stuck. After Dubas got forward Yegor Chinakhov in exchange for a second round pick (that Pittsburgh received as part of the bounty from […]

Hanifan: The Heat’s biggest X-Factor isn’t a player, it’s a style

After three straight seasons as a bottom-third offense, the Miami Heat and head coach Erik Spoelstra spent much of the offseason not only uncovering, but drilling a completely new offensive style into the team. For most of Spoelstra’s previous 17 years with the Heat, they only knew one pace: A deliberate, methodical one, at that. […] The post Hanifan: The Heat’s biggest X-Factor isn’t a player, it’s a style appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .

Sinners & Saints: Roma 3, Genoa 1

A week after a frustrating road loss to Juventus, Roma bounced back with a resounding 3-1 victory over Genoa. By avoiding the distraction of Daniele De Rossi’s emotional return to the Stadio Olimpico (as an opponent, which will never feel normal) and putting the Grifoni on the back foot immediately, Gian Piero Gasperini’s group closed […]

Rams-Falcons: Plays that determined outcome

The Rams’ Monday Night Football matchup with the Falcons unraveled largely behind an uncharacteristically rough night from Matthew Stafford, as Los Angeles fell short under the bright lights. Stafford struggled to find a consistent rhythm, misfiring on throws he normally makes and failing to ignite an offense that never fully got on track. While the […]

Open letter to Carlie Irsay-Gordon: It’s time for a reset

This was the season it was finally supposed to change. The Colts had found a leader in Daniel Jones, a true starting quarterback. The offense was clicking, Jonathan Taylor was an MVP-candidate, the defense was doing much better, and the Colts were not only winning games, but destroying opponents, climbing to an AFC leading 7-1 […]

LA Kings Need Specific Upgrade Amidst Playoff Chase

The Los Angeles Kings are barely holding down a playoff spot in the West and have only won three of their past 10 games. Fortunately right now, the West is much weaker than the East in terms of the wildcard spots. Regardless, the Kings have to take one last swing at the playoffs with Anze Kopitar and need center depth to do it. Kopitar and Quinton Byfield hold down the top two lines, but Alex Turcotte and Samuel Helenius have been thrust into larger roles even though their ice time is very low...

Is Jalen Brunson really a flopper?

Foul baiter, flopper, not ethical, unwatchable, disgusting. Jalen Brunson and his game have been called all of these things. But these opinions are voiced rarely, if ever, by people who actually watch and know basketball. These lazy and statistically false narratives are often perpetuated by those who are either salty after losing to Brunson and […]

Steve Wisniewski denied in Hall of Fame vote

Raiders’ legendary offensive lineman Steve Wisniewski may someday get inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but it won’t be anytime soon. The Hall of Fame announced the 15 modern-day finalists Tuesday morning and Wisniewski did not make the cut. He was named as one of the 26 modern-day semifinalists in November. This was […]

Big Ten Basketball Weekly: Slow Week, Huh?

With the holiday season now passing us by, it was quite the slow week in college basketball, with professional sports dominating the landscape of the American sports world. Nevertheless, there are still plenty of games to discuss as we enter the new year and official Big Ten play gets underway. Men’s Basketball Game of the […]

Oregon WBB Falls Just Short In 2OT To Michigan

Oregon women’s basketball came up just short last night, rallying from behind to force two overtime periods before falling to the #6 Michigan Wolverines, 92-87. The Ducks sputtered out of the gate, and with Michigan shooting nearly 77% in the first quarter, Oregon was immediately in a hole. In the middle of the second quarter, […]

Blessed & Honored: More Quarterbacks?

Alex Manske To Enter Transfer Portal Iowa State freshman quarterback Alex Manske plans to enter the transfer portal: Manske was the No. 36 quarterback in the 2025 class. Time will tell if he makes the decision to follow Matt Campbell to Penn State, but the Nittany Lions’ quarterback room appears to be in good hands […]

More evidence head-coach impact is often fast

As the Las Vegas Raiders’ ownership and brass decides whether to retain head coach Pete Carroll or move way from him after just one season, among the determining factors in the major decisions could be simply looking around the league. Success in the 2025 NFL season has been enjoyed by teams with new head coaches […]

Espanyol ban Barcelona colors from stadium for La Liga clash

Espanyol have issued some updates for supporters planning to visit Saturday’s eagerly-anticipated clash between the two sides at the RCDE Stadium. The game is expected to see be a typically feisty derby affair, particularly as it will see former Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia return to the club for the first time as a Barcelona player. […]
