We got a behind the scenes look at how the trade between the Miami Dolphins and Dallas Cowboys went down during the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft. The Cowboys traded up one spot to select Caleb Downs while the Dolphins ended up with two fifth round picks. Initially it was only going to […]
Before the Cleveland Cavaliers traded for superstar guard James Harden, there was reportedly another team that his representatives inquired about seeking a deal with: the Houston Rockets. According to ESPN’s Ramona Shelburne and Tim MacMahon, Harden’s team reached out to Houston to gauge their interest in acquiring the former MVP from the then-reeling Los Angeles […]
The New England Patriots had quite the year under head coach Mike Vrabel this past season, reaching the Super Bowl behind a transformed defense and star second-year quarterback Drake Maye. While they fell short of their pursuit of another Lombardi Trophy, it was a strong year to build upon for Vrabel, who quickly established New […]

News came out on Monday afternoon that former Husky DL Voi Tunuufi had passed away. Initial reports indicated that he was killed in a motorcycle accident. Tunuufi, who played for Washington from 2021-2024, was 23 years old. I have two memories of Tunuufi that will always stay with me. The first is that he was […]
When in doubt, call the triple option. POST SPRING RANKINGS ARE VERY MUCH IN FAVOR OF NOTRE DAME I’m not sure how many times I need to say it, but Notre Dame’s Blue-Gold game mattered very little to the grand scheme of things. “No duh,” you say? Well, yeah. It still amazes me that there […]

Hmm Talks? Oof
Al-Hilal manager Simone Inzaghi’s agent has dismissed talk of a mega offer from his club for Barcelona superstar Raphinha. Talk of Saudi interest in the Brazilian has re-emerged ahead of the summer transfer window, but Federico Pastorello says that Inzaghi has not asked him to bring Raphinha to the club. “Inzaghi has not requested the […]
The San Francisco Giants, feckless and fully on life support after one of the worst road trips in franchise history, were in desperation mode after Sunday’s defeat. As we’ve been told since birth, desperate times call for desperate measures, and in baseball parlance, desperate measures means desperate transactions. And so it wasn’t surprising that the […]
Every Star Wars Day (May the Fourth, in case this particular branding hasn’t been pounded into your skull) produces the same opportunity to lay the story of the baseball game over the Star Wars leitmotif. Last year we had an uninspiring 8-1 loss to the Rangers where Zach purposefully trolled by mixing up Stars War […]

The game never felt comfortable. Not for a second. Every possession was a fight. Every shot was earned. And by the time the final seconds ticked away Monday night, the difference between the San Antonio Spurs and the Minnesota Timberwolves came down to a single shot that wouldn’t fall. San Antonio opened its Western Conference semifinal series with a […]
Players and coaches in the NFL come and go all the time in the league. They aren’t supposed to die young. Recently, former Arizona Cardinals cornerback Chris Payton-Jones passed away after injuries he sustained in an auto accident. Payton-Jones, just 30-years old, played for the Cardinals during the 2018, 2019, and 2020 seasons. RELATED: CHRIS […]
America bounced back from trailing by a 3-1 score to grab a 3-3 tie in the first leg of their Quarterfinal series against Pumas. It was an exciting match with controversial moments which still leaves Pumas as going thru as America will need to win next week in Estadio Olimpico to be able to go […]
Source The conversation around major championships often begins with driving distance and iron play, but in 2026, the narrative has shifted. As the PGA Championship approaches, short game performance, particularly around the greens and on the putting surfaces, is playing a more decisive role in shaping expectations. Several players have separated themselves not through overwhelming […] The post How Short Game Specialists Are Shifting 2026 PGA Championship Odds appeared first on The Sports Ba...
Want to impress your mates in the beer garden as you raise a glass to the 53rd anniversary of our famous FA Cup win? Look no further… 1. At 5’4”, Bobby Kerr is the smallest captain to ever lift the FA Cup. 2. He did lift it, and promptly dropped it as he descended the […]
It’s perhaps a mark of the sheer impact made by Granit Xhaka during his time at Sunderland that despite arguably not being at his absolute game-changing best in recent weeks, he still exudes enough in the way of sheer aura to leave nobody in any doubt of his influence, his standing and perhaps most importantly, […]
Ciaran McKenna says… I’ll be gutted if Cirkin leaves — largely because I love the lad but also because he’s a talented footballer that hasn’t really had the rub of the green, but if you take sentiment out of the situation, you see why he doesn’t look likely to get an extension. For one, his […]
Still reeling from the shocking, humiliating and generally bizarre thumping at the hands of Nottingham Forest, it was time to face our third consecutive Midlands side in the shape of already-relegated Wolverhampton Wanderers. That home loss had felt completely incongruent with the mood around the city before kick-off. The streets had been filled with red […]
