The New Orleans Saints are projected as 14.5-point underdogs to the Los Angeles Rams at the time of writing this article. Although a quarterback change was announced recently to try and jump-start the black and gold offense, it is the defense of New Orleans that will face an uphill battle trying to contain a high-powered […]
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Sadiq White Jr. wants to get after people. It’s something he takes pride in. The Syracuse Orange men’s basketball freshman brings a defensive focus and tenacity to the court that Syracuse has lacked in recent years. He’s an elite athlete at 6-foot-9 with the versatility that Syracuse needs in man-to-man defense but […]
The USWNT is coming out of its trio of October friendlies on a decidedly positive note after wins against Portugal and New Zealand. That in itself is reassuring after dropping the first match to Portugal. Losing to a decent but far from threatening team from Europe did nothing to lower the volume of the alarms […]

The Big Sky Conference is consistently one of the top two conferences in the FCS year in and year out. The league has had a representative in the national championship game in three of the last four seasons and is almost always a lock to send at least four teams to the playoffs, if not […]
Xabi Alonso spoke to the media ahead of Real Madrid’s match against Valencia on Saturday. He was asked about the whole Vinicius Jr situation, which, to Alonso, was resolved. He said: “We had a meeting with everyone on Wednesday, and Vinicius was impeccable. He spoke sincerely, from the heart, and was very good. For me, […]

Who: Cleveland Cavaliers (3-2) vs Toronto Raptors (1-4) Where: Rocket Arena – Cleveland, OH When: Friday October 31 at 7:30pm […]
If we are keeping track properly, the Cleveland Browns are building for the future, the Philadelphia Eagles are trying to repeat as Super Bowl champions and DE Myles Garrett is frustrated, after extending his contract despite stating an offseason desire to win a Super Bowl. If we got all of that correct, the trade rumor […]

My high school alma mater plays a football playoff game today. Here’s hoping that this isn’t the only bit of playoff football I’ll see this year.
Desperate times often call for desperate measures. And when desperate times call for desperate measures, things tend to get weird. So you can imagine the look on my face when I saw that Chicago Bears Offensive Coordinator Declan Doyle was looking to try some “unorthodox” things in an attempt to rid the team of its penalty problem:

2025 In A Discarded-On-The-Dugout-Floor Nutshell In a season that started with infield candidates ranging from Alex Bregman, Trevor Story, Kristian Campbell, Triston Casas, Rafael Devers, and Marcelo Mayer, David Hamilton managed to make it into 91 games. That’s way too many! His large presence in box scores is the byproduct of a tumultuous year in […]
Ohio State returns to the field this week following their second bye week of the season. The last time the Buckeyes took the field was two weeks ago in Madison, where they blanked Luke Fickell and the Wisconsin Badgers 34-0. The shutout was the second of the season for the Ohio State defense, which is […]
Well, this isn’t the game that all of us expected heading into the preseason, but Penn State and Ohio State will in fact play a Big Noon game with one of the teams being ranked No. 1 in the country. So, about those Buckeyes. We went to our sister site Land-Grant Holy Land to get […]
When I look ahead to the Green Bay Packers’ next opponent, sometimes it can take a bit of digging to find where the offense can attack the defense. I start by looking at the numbers. I typically start with DVOA, then just click around a while on NFL Pro. From there, I throw on the […]
The San Francisco 49ers look to get back into the win column with a trip to the Meadowlands to square off with the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. The last visit to MetLife was during 2020, and while the 49ers left with a victory, it came at the expense of a season-ending injury to […]

USC-Nebraska! Penn State-Ohio State! Uh…football! We’ve done about all the pre-Halloween prep in the MNW household. The pumpkins are gutted, with just a couple left to carve, we’ve taken the obligatory “infant in a pumpkin” photo (she sat great, totally unperturbed, happiest six-month-old ever), candy’s bought, pumpkin seeds ready to be roasted, pizza dough purchased […]
Yeah, last night’s game sucked. After skating 10 games to start the regular season and the only blowouts being in the Blackhawks’ favor, there was finally a big, ugly loss to put on the board. Those are going to happen to every team every year. The Blackhawks have had more than their fair share of those the past few years.
After sleeping on it, my thoughts on the Blackhawks’ loss shifted.
Last night’s game felt a different. Rather than the “here we go again” exhausted, defeated feeli...
One of the things that old-time hard hitting journalists did was stick to a routine until the situation absolutely warranted it. Those situations would be called “special comments.” I am not a hard hitting journalist and barely qualify as a professional one, but I am taking the opportunity to throw out a special comment. DeMeco […]
Take yourself back to December 2020. Josh Whitman had just dismissed Lovie Smith. Rod Smith was leading the Illini in their final game of the season. And present in the stadium was the new man in charge, Bret Bielema. It was a symbolic and literal changing of the guard in Champaign. Bielema won the gig […]
When things are going well, it can sometimes feel as though the next match can’t come quickly enough. For an in form side that rhythm of play, prepare, go again can be exhilarating. For a side struggling as Liverpool are at the moment, on the other hand, it can start to feel exhausting. They’ve lost […]
