Coming off a berth in Super Bowl LX, the New England Patriots are in the process of retooling their roster. They made some moves in free agency to improve the foundation, and added some youth in the NFL Draft and rookie free agency. In order not to get lost amid all the movement, here is […]
Recap of the game.
I think it sums up just how far Sunderland have come in such a short space of time that I sit here today writing this, feeling disappointed that Sunderland aren’t currently sat second in the Premier League table. Whilst a win over Everton would have taken us there, we had to settle for a draw, […]
Barcelona midfielder Marc Casadó has officially changed his representation, signing with Polaris Sports, the agency of Portuguese superagent Jorge Mendes, with a contract running until 2029. Casadó, who was previously with Wasserman, announced the move through an emotive video filmed inside the newly renovated Spotify Camp Nou. In the video, Casadó is first seen seated […]
Eleven games without a win, equalling their worst ever run without a victory, the Lads went into this fixture under some pressure to get a result. Our opponents on this day were Bristol Rovers, languishing in the bottom third of Division Two but two points better off than us coming into this game. The Gas […]
Want to have your say on all things Sunderland? Drop us a line and we’ll publish your views! [email protected] Dear Roker Report, I’ve touched on this subject in the past, but just what is it with Alan Shearer and his hatred of Sunderland? We all get that he’s black and white through and through, but […]
During my thirty-year love affair with Sunderland AFC, the list of Lads’ captains I could honestly describe as truly inspirational; players with whom you’d want to be in the trenches when the chips were down and the odds of success stacked against you isn’t exactly lengthy. Double promotion-winning skipper Kevin Ball was one. Steve Bould […]
I’ve seen some moans on social media and heard some bleating over the radio — but those people need to give their heads a wobble. They need to realise that all teams in this league are going to be good and we won’t be able to turn up and effortlessly turn anyone over. I understand […]
Tuesday night’s 44-10 final result between the Akron Zips (4-6, 3-2 MAC) and the UMass Minutemen (0-9, 0-5 MAC) was not the most conventional blowout, but by night’s end, Akron was able to secure the win and keep their dreams of a .500 season alive, surviving one of the most bizarre games of the 2025 […]
When I was a freshman in high school, my homeroom teacher’s name was Mr. Bobo. No, I’m dead serious, that’s actually his surname. Mr. Bobo was — well, is, the man’s still very much alive — a man of few words, who often watched the world in front of him with an attitude that could […]
2025 stats: 72 G, 243 PA, 4 HR, 9 SB, .217/.278/.327, .111 ISO, 74 OPS+, 7.0 BB%, 28.8 K%, 0.2 fWAR “YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE,” might’ve been all I needed to write for this, but at the end of the day, it’s not a massive surprise that Fitzgerald wasn’t able to follow up his […]
Note – under the old publishing system, if you had two versions of a story open, they synced. Turns out that’s not the case under the new system and we saved the wrong version last night. Lesson learned.Here’s our (new) Duke-Texas story. After two superb exhibition performances, Cameron Boozer started slow in the first half […]
Shane Bieber has decided to take his $16 million player option and stay with the Blue Jays. I’m shocked. I was sure he would opt out and get more money, even if he went with a short-term contract. Apparently, he liked his Jays teammates and wants to stay with them, at least for another year, […]

The Chicago Bulls sit alone at the top of the Eastern Conference, and they largely have Nikola Vucevic to thank for that. The team welcomed the Philadelphia 76ers into the United Center on Tuesday night. Both entering the day at 5-1, the two were battling it out for the East’s top spot. And the 76ers were on the cusp of securing it for nearly the entirety of the night. Philadelphia ran Chicago off the floor during the first half of action and gained a lead as large as 24 points. Tyre...
Whew, exhilarating! This is MACtion at its very best. In a matchup with major MAC title implications to kick off weeknight #MACtion, the Ohio Bobcats (6-3, 4-1 MAC), behind a raucous home crowd shadowed in black clothing, bested the Miami RedHawks (5-4, 4-1) by a final score of 24-20 in a tough, physical rivalry battle.

Our nervy preview of the must-win match in Charlotte that decides if New York City FC's season ends abruptly or if it marches on to Philadelphia.
Dozens of construction workers gathered outside Spotify Camp Nou on Tuesday to protest the firing of nearly 50 colleagues involved in the ongoing stadium renovation. Many of the employees affected are reportedly in an “irregular administrative situation,” according to the union Comisiones Obreras (CCOO), which organized the demonstration. “They’ve been working twelve hours a day, […]
The Athletic | Ian O’Connor: ($) O’Connor talks with Brian Cashman about the one word that’s anathema to all front offices, particularly the Yankees: “rebuild.” Understandably, given his team just tied for the most wins in the AL, the GM dismisses the notion of a tear-down out of hand. “There’s no indication that is something […]
After a quick return home, the Houston Rockets go back on the road for another Southwest Division matchup. The Memphis Grizzlies started 3-2 with losses to the Miami Heat and Golden State Warriors. “That’s fine,” you’d think, but it’s been downhill from there. They’ve dropped their last three games and are dealing with the newest […]
On Monday, the San Francisco Giants made perhaps their least surprising offseason transaction in franchise history. As the offseason officially got underway, the Giants declined their team option for catcher Tom Murphy, opting for a $250,000 buyout rather than a $4 million salary. And thus ends the story of one of the worst transactions in […]
After a quick stop in Portland where they managed to steal a victory without their three best players, the Lakers are back home again where they will take on the San Antonio Spurs. This is their last home game in the next two weeks as they go on a five-game road trip after this one. […]
