Greetings, internet users. Welcome to The Scratching Post and the new year. Feel free to use this thread to chat about (almost) anything you want: video games, food, movies, non-football sports, you name it. As long as it’s allowed by the site’s ToS, it’s fair game here. You know the drill. This is now an […]
On Monday night, Mark Pope broke the news that Kentucky point guard Jaland Lowe would be done for the season, as he’s opted to have surgery on his shoulder. That the news might not come as a shock to many, but it does impact this team substantially this season. Despite that fact, it was fairly […]
The Miami Dolphins will likely be hiring a first-time HC this offseason, and it will continue a trend that has led to poor results under Stephen Ross.
One of my favorite stats to check after the regular season is over is which NFL teams won a bunch (or lost a bunch) of close games. Why? Because, to tell you the truth, no one has really figured out how to win close games consistently in this league. For the most part, your record […]
THE DAILY SPONGIE SPECIAL BEARSSSSSS Sunday Night Football: Rams beat Bears 20-17 in overtime Close but no cigar. Bears’ grades are in. How did they do against the Rams? About as you would expect.

The Islanders have two games left on the big seven-game trip, with tonight in Vancouver feeling like a “gotta have it” two points. With the Olympic break nearing, these next two games could be big for not only how the trip ledger balances out but also where the season heads. Dan and Mike talk about […]
There was very little baseball news yesterday for the most part, so please excuse this NFL digression: Cripes, how is it possible that we got an NFL season where none of the Chiefs, Cowboys, Steelers, or Eagles won a playoff game and we still wound up with a Final Four that is just a damn […]
*Folks… things are not going great around here. The Flyers got effectively walloped by the Rangers, who more or less threw in the towel on their season last week, and the losing streak has stretched to six games. Do you want to relive that game? No? We have a recap anyway. [ BSH ] *Charlie also has his own takeaways from that one. [ PHLY ] *It was truly a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad game. [ The Athletic ] *Sean Couturier was upfront about it: “we sucked,” says he. [ BS...
When Mike Krzyzewski took the Duke job, it took him a little while to figure out how to recruit here. At first he swung for the fences and cast a wide net, most of whom he missed on. One of those was Chris Mullin, who chose St. John’s after a tremendous high school career first […]

At long last, the conclusion of the college football season is upon us. Indiana and Miami will meet tonight to answer the question once and for all: whose boosters bought the best roster of players developed by other, more competent coaching staffs?

Real Sociedad 2-1 FC Barcelona: Harsh defeat – FC BarcelonaThe woodwork on no fewer than five occasions, plus a number of frustratingly close refereeing calls, stood in the way of FC Barcelona and what could have been a mighty win this Sunday in San Sebastian. The football was enough to warrant that, and yet a […]

He’s also posted […]
