During a game where Sunderland were largely second best against local rivals Middlesbrough, the greatest joy came from the fact that Frazier Campbell scored on his return to the team after eighteen months out injured. Campbell had been extremely unfortunate since joining Sunderland, with a stop-start feel ensuring that supporters only saw glimpses of what […]

Aji Alese has had quite a strange time on Wearside. We signed him for a reported £500,000 from West Ham in the summer of 2022, and although no one knew anything about him, I think we all had high hopes. He’d made just four senior appearances before joining us, but the club saw his talent […]

I have to admit that when Sunderland signed two experienced international left-backs in the summer, I thought it would be curtains (sorry, not a pun, despite his hairstyle) for Dennis Cirkin. He’s a player I’ve really fallen in love with over the years and I’ve really enjoyed watching his journey from being a League One […]

The Dallas Mavericks lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves 118-105 Wednesday night in Dallas. It was a weird, disjointed game that saw Dallas trailing by double-digits for most of the second half, but never letter Minnesota pull away. It was an ugly game, with lots of turnovers, fouls, and missed shots. Dallas started feisty, like they […]

Since coming in, Liam Rosenior made it a point to not try to change too many things tactically from what Enzo Maresca had been doing with Chelsea.

The Mavericks fell to the Timberwolves in what was easily one of the most tedious and disjointed games of the season. Dallas was led by P.J. Washington’s 21 points, Naji Marshall’s 18, and Brandon Williams’ 17, who was forced into a larger role with Cooper Flagg sidelined. Minnesota countered with 31 from Julius Randle, 23 […]

The Braves were linked specifically to Chris Bassitt and Lucas Giolito as targets for their starting pitching pursuit, which apparently remains active at this stage in the offseason. While those are by no means sexy options, they likely wouldn’t require eye-watering contracts and would preserve the Braves’ 2026 draft capital, as compared to Framber Valdez […]

If I were an actual teacher, I’d be quite tempted to dock the entire class points for what was, by all accounts, a thorough and unquestionable defeat to the shorthanded Golden State Warriors. Defensively, the Jazz resisted with all the integrity of a five-cent water balloon as the visitors sliced, diced, and tore through Utah’s […]
