Portal season is beginning to crank up, and that means lots of player movement. We’ll do our best to keep up with it here. The most notable players to make moves so far are Virginia Tech’s Neoklis Avdalas, Pitt’s Brandin Cummings, and Georgia Tech’s Baye Ndongo, who seemed to regress this season. More are certain […]
Everton Women welcome Nottingham Forest to Goodison Park on Sunday as the Toffees take on the WSL 2 outfit in their second Group A encounter of the Subway League Cup. The Blues opened their cup campaign with a loss away to Manchester City and Brian Sorensen’s side will need a victory, not just to kick […]
The Indianapolis Colts announced that top outside starting cornerback Charvarius Ward has been placed on injured reserve, as he suffered his second concussion of the season during pre-game warmups last weekend. Ward shockingly collided during warmups with teammate Drew Ogletree in what was another freak pre-game accident and was ruled out of last weekend’s win […]
Canada West men's hockey is one of those sports where there are different levels for teams based on how aggressively they recruit, their own expectations for their season, and the people running the programs. We've seen the Alberta Golden Bears hold a standard that few teams could meet, but the recent emergence of the Saskatchewan Huskies, the Calgary Dinos, and the Mount Royal Cougars gave brought a little more parity to the conference. Tonight, though, the Huskies reminded everyone why they'...
For the second year in a row, Vanderbilt is bowl-eligible. For the first time that I could find, Vanderbilt is bowl-eligible before November. It was a ball-control, man-ball kind of win for Diego Pavia and the Commodores. After holding LSU to a field goal on its opening drive, Vanderbilt went 57 yards in 9 plays […]
UConn football earned a big victory over ACC regional rival Boston College on Saturday, 38-23, for the program’s first win at BC and second triumph over the Eagles all-time. BC got on the board first with a field goal drive, adding another at the end of the first quarter. UConn’s first drive ended with a […]
When Juventus were about to begin their first post-international break stretch of fixtures last month, it was arguably the biggest domestic matchup of the season looking them right in the face. The Derby d’Italia proved to be Juventus’ only win during a six-game stretch between the first international break and the second, one that has […]
BYU went to Lincoln and lost a tight 90-89 game to the Cornhuskers Saturday. This was an exhibition game and does not count towards either team’s win/loss total. Andrej Kostic and Jared McGregor missed shots in the final seconds that would have given BYU the win. BYU treated this like a NBA preseason game, and […]
Amidst a season that eventually ended with downing Washington in the National Championship Game, Joel Klatt often described Michigan as a boa constrictor. A team that squeezes the life out of its opponents slowly, but surely. It happened to Michael Penix Jr’s Huskies in that heartbreaking defeat. It happened again Saturday, with Klatt in the […]
The Detroit Lions (4-2) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-1) have declared their injury designations ahead of their NFC battle on “Monday Night Football.” Let’s take a look at the latest injury report and get you up to date with what we know. Note: Any changes from the last injury report will be bolded. Ruled OUT […]
The road has been very unkind to Arizona of late, with its previous four away games all losses by 20-plus points. Down two touchdowns entering the fourth quarter, another lopsided road defeat looked possible. Instead, the UA rallied to tie it with less than five minutes to go but never got the ball back. Ethan […]
The Chicago Blackhawks took care of some internal business on Saturday as they team announced they have waived forward Joey Anderson. If Anderson clears Sunday at 2pm, he'll be assigned to the American Hockey League's Rockford IceHogs. Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman was first to report the waiver wire on Saturday. The 27-year-old Anderson missed the start of this season as he's been recovering from a lower-body injury that he suffered during training camp. While he's been ramping up to return, ...
Saturday afternoon will see Cincinnati Reds starter Rhett Lowder return to the mound for the Peoria Javelinas in Arizona Fall League play, this time at home at the Peoria Sports Complex opposite the Salt River Rafters. It will be familiar territory for Lowder, who fired a pair of scoreless innings against the very same Rafters […]
The San Francisco Giants are “closing in” on hiring as their next manager University of Tennessee coach Tony Vitello, per the Athletic. When word broke that the Giants had fired veteran Bob Melvin after two seasons, the immediate speculation was that president of baseball operations Buster Posey would be looking to hire his former manager, […]
Manchester United will be looking to subject Liverpool to a fourth consecutive defeat on Sunday’s trip to Anfield, and in order to do so, they’ll need Benjamin Sesko to be at his very best. Born in Radece, Slovenia, Sesko was 16 when he left his homeland for Austria and joined Red Bull Salzburg’s world-renowned youth […]
If Boston College fans thought they were seeing an entirely new Eagles team at Alumni Stadium on Saturday afternoon, it was partly because they were. The unfortunate thing is that the results were largely the same. Less than an hour before kickoff in Chestnut Hill, ESPN senior writer Pete Thamel reported that fifth-year senior Grayson […]

If Andrew Baggarly isn’t as close to an unimpeachable source when it comes to Giants rumors and breaking or near-breaking news, then no beat writer is. He mentioned Tennessee Volunteers coach Tony Vitello as a possible replacement for Bob Melvin when this whole search began, and just moments ago on The Athletic, he, Brittany Ghiroli, […]
The Edmonton Oilers are going with Calvin Pickard between the pipes for Saturday’s matinee against the New Jersey Devils. It wasn’t the only notable change in the Oilers’ lineup, as rookie forward Issac Howard will watch the game from the press box, allowing Curtis Lazar to make his team debut against his former club. Lazar,…
The NFL season is an evolving state of affairs, and week 7 against the Saints presents a new challenge for the Chicago Bears. They will be entering this week’s contest as rare favorites for the first time all season. How will they respond under Ben Johnson as favorites? In this weekly series, I’ll be featuring […]
Football’s a deeply ironic game, really. For instance, Reading can go on an unbeaten run despite being very poor going forwards, and then lose that unbeaten run despite putting in – by far – their best attacking performance of the season. My main gripe with Noel Hunt’s management has been just how stale, flat and […]
The Wisconsin Badgers are facing off against the No. 1 Ohio State Buckeyes in Week 8, riding a four-game losing streak in their roughest stretch in recent program history. Kickoff is slated for 2:30 p.m. on CBS. Wisconsin is coming off a 37-0 loss to the Iowa Hawkeyes last weekend, marking their third conference loss […]
There are a handful of games every season that seem to define who you are as a team. This sort of feels like one of those. Can the Dawgs shake off a late night in Auburn and play their best football before they absolutely have to? Before it’s too late to matter? Let’s hope so. […]
Is there anything to discuss today besides Shohei Ohtani? Talk about waking a sleeping giant. Ohtani almost makes this look easy, and it’s hard to remember that this incredible skill didn’t happen by chance—Ohtani built himself this way over years and years of single-minded dedication. Makes you wonder what you can do if you really […]
The Falcons renew a rivalry against their old NFC West foes when they travel to The Bay for a date against the San Francisco 49ers. Geographically, it didn’t make much sense, but the Falcons and 49ers used to duke it out twice a year (and sometimes thrice) from 1967 until realignment moved the Birds to […]
Signing Poona Ford in free agency as a replacement for Bobby Brown is among the best one-for-one upgrades in the NFL this season. Ford has elevated the Los Angeles Rams defense and is playing a major role in the team’s success in 2025. Ford and Brown are diverging in 2025 These are the Pro Football […]
