There aren’t many seasons in Sunderland AFC’s history that don’t involve some sort of drama towards the end of a campaign, whether that be at the top end of whatever league we happen to be competing in, or at the ‘wrong’ end of the table. The 1980–81 season was no different, and it took a […]
Andrew Smithson says… People might assume that they’re rare, but there’s quite a few that deserve name checks or to be classed as a favourite.

During the week leading up to a big Sunderland game, I seem to feel the same emotions every time. On Monday and Tuesday, it’s more the excitement of how brilliant winning would be. By Wednesday and Thursday, the nerves start to kick in and by the time weekend comes, it settles into an overwhelming sense […]
Newcastle were knocked out of the Champions League, conceding seven to Barcelona in midweek. Do you think this has increased the pressure massively to win the derby?

The mantra in March is “survive and advance”, and Miami did just that with an 80-66 win over Mizzou in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

At the Minnesota Golden Gophers’ Williams Arena in Minneapolis, Minnesota (also known as ‘The Barn,’ established in 1928), the No. 12-seeded Gonzaga Bulldogs (24-10, 14-4 WCC) fell to the much more physical No. 5-seeded Ole Miss Rebels (24-11, 8-8 SEC) in the NCAA Tournament’s Round of 64 in the Sacramento region. Gonzaga may have outrebounded […]
So it turns out having a fully staffed team makes spring training games a little more fun to watch. The Mariners made Cleveland pitching miserable tonight, stacking a 10-run inning in the second that featured three home runs en route to a 20-8 victory, with most of those Cleveland runs coming in garbage time. If […]

Two steps forward, one step back. That’s been the story of the season for the Minnesota Timberwolves. On a beautiful Friday night in downtown Minneapolis, the Timberwolves took on the Portland Trail Blazers, looking to go for the 3-0 sweep of the homestand. The Wolves were again without both Anthony Edwards and Naz Reid, making […]
The Viejas Arena crowd in San Diego didn’t even get the opportunity to entertain the thought of a 5-12 seed upset before St. John’s ran away with their first-round game on Friday night. Picking up where they left off from their Big East Tournament title, the fifth-seed Red Storm began their road to Indianapolis with […]
Throughout spring training, we’ve seen four men audition to join Jack Corrigan as the second radio voice of the Colorado Rockies: Jesse Thomas (producer), Jeff Dooley (Hartford Yard Goats), Josh Suchon (Albuquerque Isotopes), and Zach Goodman (Amarillo Sod Poodles). We’re still awaiting the results with just three games remaining, but fans were most impressed with […]
ESPN | Buster Olney: Shortstop has not been all that much fun the past few seasons, reaching a nadir in 2025 when Anthony Volpe struggled his way to an 83 OPS+ while also slipping defensively from his first two seasons in the big leagues. But as spring training approaches its end, Buster Olney is optimistic […]
The A’s at least won one of these two night games they just had. They came out on top tonight against the Chicago Cubs by a 6-2 final, taking the win and putting their meaningless spring record at 13-15. Lots of good signs from tonight, and we can still finish spring with a .500 record! […]
After falling 2-1 to the Dallas Stars in a shootout at home on Wednesday, the Colorado Avalanche kicked off a four-game road trip against the Chicago Blackhawks.
