And three reasons to be skeptical of that possibility.
The Houston Rockets are back, ladies and gentlemen! Not just back playing again (that, too), but back in contending status heading into the season. Sure, the Rockets finished second in the Western Conference last season, which measures up as a viable contender (especially in the West) but that wasn’t expected. The Rockets caught everyone by […]
Fiorentina gets to put the disappointment of another blown lead in Serie A behind it with a trip north to keep the Conference League dream alive; indeed, that’s pretty much all that’s giving us fans any life at all right now. The opponent? Rapid Wien, currently 3rd in the other Bundesliga. Rapid started the season […]

With the bye week coming up for the Seattle Seahawks, head coach Mike Macdonald gave a few injury updates for players, including a few names we have not seen or heard from in a while.

It’s a new season and, for all intents and purposes, a new program.

On the fan & […]
Roma faced it’s first real test of the Serie A season when Inter visited the Olimpico on Saturday. And the Giallorossi fell to the Nerazzurri 1-0. But, does that mean that Roma failed its exam?

This season has been rough on Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who has thrown 10 interceptions in seven games.
The 2025 NFL season has not gone as the Arizona Cardinals planned. Although the beginning looked bright, starting with two wins, the franchise is currently on a five-game losing skid. Meanwhile, the rest of the NFC West Division is doing well or holding its own. Which means, each additional loss places the Cardinals that much […]

The Bears continued their winning ways on Sunday, defeating the Saints 26-14 to improve their record to 4-2 for the 2025 NFL season. It wasn’t as pretty as the score might indicate, but any win is worth celebrating, especially one in which you force four turnovers. Save for the passing attack, a lot seemed to […]
It’s hard to overlook a team on a four-game win streak. The Chicago Bears, fortunately, are on a winning streak. By record, the Bears are an above-average team, but where do you rank them in a league full of slightly-above-average and average teams? That is the task of the power rankers this week. The parity […]

Thanks to the nflFastR project, Pro Football Focus and NFL NextGen Stats for the timely sources of data. For those of you new to this, I will publish key QB stats each week judging how well the Colts’ QB performed. Yes, O-Line, receivers, and play-calling impact these numbers but they are primarily QB measures. I will probably modify the […]
Because some of you have asked, while the poll tool is currently not available, the latest that we have from the WordPress developers is that they are planning to add one in the near future. Fresh off the heels of a defeat in Der Klassiker, Borussia Dortmund bounced back with a solid 4-2 away win […]
Jack Stevens: 6 Found the ball far away from his goal for most of the early stages. Made a good catch and a poor clearance with his first two major interventions of the first half. Bravely dove at the feet of the onrushing Northampton attacker to make an excellent save in the 25th minute. Alert […]
The once-ambitious plan to stage a match La Liga between FC Barcelona and Villarreal CF in Miami has been shelved. La Liga and promoter Relevent Sports blame “uncertainty in Spain” and “insufficient time” to pull off the event.

Heading into the bye week at 2-5, it’s obvious that the Las Vegas Raiders need to make some changes for the rest of the season. One of the Raiders’ first moves should be to push rookie cornerback Darien Porter up the depth chart by elevating him into the starting lineup. While current first-string corner Kyu […]
Shout out to Keith on Twitter for asking for a new Lounge. Here’s the old one. The Mavericks play tomorrow and then they play a whole heck of a lot of games in a short period of time, but at least they’re all at home. How’s this lounge format working? Are our regular commenters here […]
Another day of practice before they hit the road for four games.
If someone told you a month ago that Joel Embiid would be suiting up for the opener in Boston against the Celtics, you’d have called them crazy. But here we are, the day before opening night, and the 2022-23 MVP is not listed on the injury report, meaning the big fella should take the floor. […]
