We’ve reached the point in Spring Training where I must dust off the keyboard and start stretching my fingers out in preparation for my weekly recaps. Tonight’s contest between the Brew Crew and Snakes was originally scheduled to be an afternoon matchup, but due to the unseasonably warm hot weather, the game was flexed to […]
The Chicago Blackhawks fell 4-1 to the Colorado Avalanche at the United Center on Friday, a loss that also saw Colorado become the first team in the NHL to clinch a playoff berth this season.

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.

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?

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.

So it turns out having a fully staffed team makes spring training games a little more fun to watch.

If […]
