Fresh off a three-game sweep of the inter-league rival New York Mets, the A’s return home today for a division series matchup with the Texas Rangers. Not only are the two teams tied for the lead in the American League West, but they are tied for the second-best record in the American League, period! Tonight, […]
Keba Keita blocked a shot in the final seconds and BYU beat North Carolina 78-76 Friday night in Salt Lake City. Both teams weren’t totally dialed in on offense — which isn’t unexpected for October — but both teams brought the intensity and treated this like a real game, which will pay dividends for when […]
Panthers News Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle enters Week 8 with momentum from three consecutive team victories. The Panthers face the Buffalo Bills on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium in a game that could showcase the team’s dual-back approach. Dowdle returned to a rotational role last Sunday against the New York Jets after […]
Eagles News Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson will see expanded opportunities Sunday when the team hosts the New York Giants at Lincoln Financial Field. Star receiver A.J. Brown has been ruled out with a hamstring injury. Brown missed all three practice sessions this week and was officially declared out Friday afternoon. He caught four […]
If the OKC game was exciting, frustrating and encouraging in equal measure, this game was pure frustration. The Rockets have started the year playing two “Can’t Call ‘Em All” defenses, though Detroit is actually a more extreme version. An average Sengun or Amen game is a Rockets win. They had something considerably worse. Tonight’s reverse […]
The Dallas Mavericks fell to the Washington Wizards 117-107 in Friday night’s matchup at home. The horrid loss marks Dallas’ second of the season, and follows a rather forgettable 125-92 defeat to Victor Wembanyama’s Spurs. Daniel Gafford (ankle sprain), Dante Exum (mysteriously undisclosed leg injury?), and Kyrie Irving (ACL) were all out for the Mavericks. […]
As we are all set and ready to enjoy a Notre Dame Football bye week (also known as the cheeseburger bye week) the noise surrounding things OTHER than the college football playoff is starting to get turned up a notch or two. One of those things is the Heisman Trophy, and a name that is […]
Another slow start for the Wolf Pack ended up being the difference maker in round one of the Battle of Connecticut.
After a too easy and perhaps too fun opening night blowout of the Dallas Mavericks, the Spurs came back down to earth a bit against an injured New Orleans Pelicans club that at least has a healthy Zion Williamson back. It was a back-and-forth, ugly game where neither team ever led by double figures or […]
Choosing a team name for an expansion franchise usually happens before jerseys are debuted in order to have the franchise's new logo based on the name affixed to said jerseys. As we know, the PWHL didn't do that with their first six franchises, waiting over a year to actually attach names to those teams. The six names chosen still seem rather ridiculous, but the PWHL made it through Year Two as the Minnesota Frost celebrated their second Walter Cup victory over the Ottawa Charge. Knowing two e...

MLB | Jesse Borek: Three and a half years ago, the Yankees signed undrafted free agent Hueston Morrill. Morrill, who’d played both ways in college, prefered to be a hitter. But when the Yankees thought he could transition to pitching full-time, he embraced it. After a non-descript 2024, Morrill exploded in 2025. Across the season […]
It was a very information filled media session today for Tottenham Hotspur and their supporters, as manager Thomas Frank provided updates on a few injured players, including Dominic Solanke, Destiny Udogie, Cristian Romero and more. So let’s dive right in, starting with Solanke, and his ankle problem. Everton FC vs Tottenham Hotspur FYIs Kick off: […] The post Tottenham Team News at Everton: Solanke, Udogie, Romero, Davies appeared first on The Sports Bank .
It was a dicey fourth quarter, but the Cleveland Cavaliers held off the Brooklyn Nets 131-124 to pick up their first win of the season. Despite blowing a 25-point lead, the Cavs dug in for the final four minutes and played physical basketball to avoid a full collapse. Grades are based on our expectations for […]
The Dodgers have won the National League pennant for a second year in a row, dispatching the Milwaukee Brewers in four games in the NLCS. That earned Los Angeles a return trip to the World Series, which will begin on Friday, October 24. In the American League Championship Series, the Toronto Blue Jays won the […]
The Dodgers allowed nine runs in the sixth inning to turn a close Game 1 into a Blue Jays rout on Friday night. On Saturday in Game 2, Los Angeles will try to leave Rogers Centre in Toronto with a split. Yoshinobu Yamamoto was the rock of the Dodgers pitching staff this season, the only […]
Virginia Tech has had a rough season at 2-5, but for one night, they turned back the clock. They reminded us of the electric atmosphere it can be in Lane Stadium during a win. Virginia Tech knocked Cal 42-34, as they ran for over 350 yards. I’m interim head coach giving Phillip Montgomery high marks … Continue reading »

The Dodgers got back to the World Series by riding a starting rotation on an otherworldly run this month. That earned Blake Snell extra rope in Game 1 but he tripped on it, and the Blue Jays pounced in a nine-run sixth inning in an 11-4 blowout on Friday night at Rogers Centre in Toronto, […]
Dodgers 4 Blue Jays 11 When you get nine runs in one inning, you generally win. The sixth inning was all we would really need. The sixth inning went: Just a terrific inning. Most runs scored in a single inning in the World Series since 1968. Trey Yesavage didn’t have his best stuff, but he […]
Washington went into Dallas and beat the Mavericks, 117-107. The Wizards’ bench played a significant role in the outcome of this game. It started ugly with the Mavericks going up by as many as 14 points. Towards the end of the first quarter, Tre Johnson and Cam Whitmore entered the game while Kyshawn George returned […]
Full disclosure: I am not an unbiased writer here. My mom went to Washington State. My dad went to Washington State. I was born and raised into the Crimson and Grey, which was really the only sports fandom— besides the Mariners— that it was emphasized that I will root for. Everyone else was extemporaneous. That […]
ter a scandal-wracked Thursday the Portland Trail Blazers will take the floor tonight against the Golden State Warriors. This will be the first game with Interim Head Coach Tiago Splitter at the helm. It’ll be interesting to see if the Blazers can keep up their furious pace—and constant substitution patterns—from their opening-night tilt versus the […]
The Pelicans provided a much tougher test for the Silver and Black tonight than the poorly constructed roster of the Mavericks on Wednesday. The combination of elite shooting and ball movement kept the Spurs defense off balance as the home crowd kept the environment hostile for the Spurs. It was a good learning experience for […]
They can’t all be hanging in The Louvre. Sometimes you have to find a way to to grind them out and the Devils did just that, taking down the Sharks 3-1 tonight on the strength of 2 PP goals from Dougie and a heavy dose of shot suppression. The word this season has been maturity, […]
No. 4 Maryland men’s soccer’s offense often circulates through the left flank, with Luca Costabile and Stephane Njike linking up in the attacking half. The duo creates waves of pressure with relentless crosses into the box, totaling six goals and five assists on the season. That rang true in Friday’s top-15 conference clash against No. […]
