It may only be from wins against the Nets and Wizards, but the Sixers have still won two of their last three games. It’s an improvement at least after the recent slump of losses and injury woes, and Tyrese Maxey even got to ease off from heavy minutes with only 28 in Tuesday’s win against […]
“I don’t feel like there’s any cultivation of a culture of trust. We don’t feel valued in these talks as they stand today. … I feel like we’ve been heard, but not listened to.” That’s what WNBPA president Nneka Ogwumike said about the players’ perspective of WNBA collective bargaining agreement (CBA) negotiations, according to reporting […]
Gonzaga had its share of rough nights last season, but the Kentucky game sits in its own category.

My older kid is funny. It took her losing like three teeth to discern that the tooth fairy was not real and just an act put on by parents… but she’s convinced that not only is Santa real, but that the full range of Santa-related accoutrements are internally and logically consistent, i.e., that a mall […]
Here we go again. I was tempted to regurgitate this feature from the September meeting in Athens between the Beloved Bulldogs and Carcinogenic Crimson Tide, but decided otherwise. Both teams have changed, and their are other dynamics at play. So here’s why I’m NOT worried about the team from the Yellowhammer state that is now […]

In response, the IU Alumni Association has […]

When the Cowboys take the field Thursday night in Detroit, they won’t be going up against the offensive juggernaut the Lions have become known for, and that’s not just because the Lions will be missing both Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta.

You see that cover image? The one ever so slightly above that title, made with David Byrnesian inspiration to be as weird as possible with the color scheme of a New Order music video? It wasn’t made for this article. It wasn’t even made this week, or this month, or this year. It was made […]
Seems awfully early to have a must-win game, but that’s exactly where the Houston Texans find themselves this week. Only 7 teams from each conference make the post season. The Texans are currently 8th in line. Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs are 9th. If you’ve been paying attention to H-Town pro ball at […]

Earlier this week, it was reported by Katie Woo of the Athletic that St. Louis Cardinals’ 1B/catcher Willson Contreras has become more open to waiving his no-trade clause to facilitate a trade out of St, Louis.
