It’s out of the frying pan and into the fire for the Atlanta Braves. Despite today being an off-day, they’ll have little time to come down from their big statement series-win in Los Angeles against the Dodgers. They’ll be coming home to welcome in the high-flying Cubs who have also gotten off to a very […]
Perhaps it was never going to last forever. Maybe there was always going to come a time when Sunderland’s frankly astonishing home league record for 2025/2026 — that of remaining unbeaten against all visitors to the Stadium of Light — would end, and as a Liverpool side possibly smarting from the manner of their late […]
John Wilson says… Goodbye George A fitting tribute to lifelong supporter George, both on 26 minutes and at half-time. I Couldn’t Get A Ticket For The Game. A lovely sentiment and tribute. Sunderland ‘Til I Die — never a truer word. Enzo A bright star in a mostly mundane performance. His talent shone through when […]
Konaté and Van Dijk vs Brobbey It’s fair to say that Brobbey was absolutely marshalled out of the game by Liverpool’s centre-halves yesterday. He’s often a huge source of attacking intent and influence for the team but wasn’t able to get a foothold in the game against two players in Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima […]

The Golden State Warriors came out hot to take advantage of a San Antonio Spurs team on the second night of a back-to-back. They were red-hot from three and jumped out to a 38-31 lead in the first quarter. The Spurs fought back by getting to the basket and crushing the Warriors in the paint […]
The Sacramento Kings are bad at basketball. Like really, really bad. Lose to the infamously tanking Jazz by nearly 30 points bad. Empty Delta Center bad. So bad that the official dictionary of basketball is this close to changing the definition of “bad” to simply: an organization that used to be a professional basketball team, […]
Former Blue Jays starter Chris Bassitt agreed to terms on a one year, $18.5 million contract with the Baltimore Orioles today. Bassitt, who turns 37 next Sunday, spent the last three seasons with the Blue Jays. He was originally drafted by the White Sox, but spent the bulk of his MLB career as an Oakland […]
Let’s just be honest. Pitt gave Duke more trouble than expected in their matchup on Tuesday night.

Following the departures of Luis Arraez and Ryan O’Hearn in free agency, the San Diego Padres have an opening at the first base position. Gavin Sheets is the projected starter, but there is room for improvement. The team should consider signing free agent Ty France. The Padres need a player of his ilk, an elite […]
If you have listened to anything Notre Dame Baseball Coach, Shawn Stiffler, has said over the past few months — there should be a decent amount of optimism running through your veins. It could be easy to dismiss given the struggles the Irish have had on the baseball diamond over the last few years, but […]

In their final game before the All-Star break, the Nuggets came into the game clearly on fumes. Despite getting Nikola Jokic and… The post Recap: Nuggets overcome fatigue, turnovers in gritty win against the mauling Grizzlies appeared first on Denver Stiffs .
The Cincinnati Bearcats built a 28-point lead in the first half, made 16 3-point buckets, and destroyed the K-State Wildcats 91-62 Wednesday evening in Bramlage Coliseum. This one does not merit much description. The score is enough. Nevertheless, a few unembellished facts: K-State lost by 29. At home. To a team that came in 12-12. […]
Well Chris Bassitt is off the board with a 1 year $18.5 million deal with the Orioles after it really felt like Bassitt would land in Atlanta. The terms of that deal seems like it would have been fairly palatable to an Atlanta front office that loves a one year deal. I wonder if they […]
New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: Pitchers and catchers have reported, and in the Yankees’ case, well, it’s largely the same group of pitchers and catchers that were here last season. Aaron Boone and Brian Cashman have acknowledged that the team is essentially Running it Back, and the players that came to camp on […]
If you had told me that the Virginia Tech Hokies would’ve gone on the road, at No. 20 Clemson, defeat the Tigers by double digits when Amani Hansberry and Neoklis Avdalas scored a combined 15 points, I would’ve thought you were crazy. That’s precisely what happened on Wednesday night, when the Hokies shocked the Tigers […]

If you didn’t notice, the Utah Jazz have become a point of interest for the entire NBA this week because of how they decided to rest their players. Considering the Jazz are the last thing the NBA and media outlets worry about, it’s a little surprising. Utah has done nothing different than the other tanking […]
The heavens opened up at College Station and down poured Aggie three-pointers. For the first twenty minutes. Then, Trent Pierce turned on the gas and pushed the Mizzou Tigers to a stellar win on the road. Normally when a team is shooting nearly 70 percent from beyond the perimeter in the first half, it’s a […]
