Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold’s Thursday practice for Super Bowl 60 was probably as encouraging as it gets regarding his oblique injury.

It’s another trip ‘darn sarf’ on Saturday to take on Premier League leaders Arsenal at the Emirates, and it’s a fixture I’m really looking forward to. It’s our first game there in just over four years and the circumstances could not be more different than the Carabao Cup quarter-final in December 2021. Then, we walked […]
Just as the Lakers were getting healthy, they were dealt another huge blow on Thursday. Late in the first half against the Sixers, Luka Dončić came up limp and went to the locker room. While it was only for a brief moment, Luka grabbed the back of his left leg. He would hobble around the […]
