It felt like the San Diego Padres’ game all day, in large part, because it was. Michael King twirled six innings of two-run ball, sporting eight strikeouts and only one walk. He exited the game with a 7-2 lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks. It was over in a hurry. The Padres’ bullpen (uncharacteristically) gave up […]

This was, without qualification, the ugliest basketball game I have ever had the displeasure of watching. I’ve seen games that have made me madder. I have seen games the Irish have played worse. But I have never seen a game where two teams have simultaneously been this inept at playing the actual sport of basketball. […]
After a competitive game through the first three quarters, the Lakers completely let go of the rope in the fourth quarter. Rightfully, they were blown out by the Pistons, losing 128-106. After trailing by eight heading into the fourth, Detroit took full control of the sloppy Lakers, opening up a 20-point lead in the period. […]
It was another exciting night for fans inside Mackey Arena as the Boilers enjoyed a 41 point victory over one of the better programs in the MAC this season. The 101-41 victory closed out the first portion of the schedule for Purdue as they moved to 12-1 on the season before the bulk of the […]
The Washington State Cougar fans showed up in droves to support their team in Seattle, making up a majority of the fans in attendance, but left with their heads hanging low as the Seattle Redhawks defended their city in a 69-55 win.

If you’re from Central or Southern Virginia and a fan of high school football, you know the name Vic Hall well. A legendary high school quarterback at Gretna High School, Hall would go on to the University of Virginia, where he’d play cornerback and some quarterback, before going undrafted in the 2010 NFL draft. Hall […]
The New York Islanders picked up a two goal lead early, only to let it slip away from them in the second period. It’s becoming a bit of a bad habit lately that the team just stops playing with a lead, and letting teams like the Blackhawks sans Connor Bedard and Frank Nazar get back […]
The Utah Jazz have been on a bit of a tear lately, stealing a couple wins from some of the best teams in the NBA. The Detroit Pistons and San Antonio Spurs lost a couple of close games to a surprisingly upstart Utah team that refuses to tank (or at least has figured out how […]
As I watched Seton Hall blast past Marquette in the final three minutes with a 13-0 run to flip a seven point MU advantage to a six point SHU victory, I thought to myself, “oh, right, this team hasn’t gotten a chance from their terrible non-conference performance to learn how to win games when it […]

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — With 4:58 left in the fourth quarter, Tennessee’s Joakim Dodson muffed a kickoff, and for at least a brief moment, the thought of a game-sealing recovery by Illinois swirled in all of Nissan Stadium’s minds. A thrilling victory, free of headspinning drama to secure Illinois’ second-straight bowl win. That brief illusion quickly […]
Earlier this week, Cleveland Magazine dubbed Cleveland Guardians infielder Brayan Rocchio one of their “Most Interesting People, 2026.” As the author writes, Why He’s Interesting: In each of the past two postseasons, Brayan Rocchio — normally a light-hitting middle infielder — has come on strong, with key home runs against the Tigers in last year’s Wild […]
It was one of those games for the Carolina Hurricanes as they fell behind early and ended up with a lackluster, 5-1 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday night in Pittsburgh.
