Ah screw it, bring on the Celtics. The Sixers out battled the Orlando Magic 109-97 in the first round of the Eastern Conference Play-In tournament Wednesday night. They have now earned the seventh seed in the East and will take on Boston in the first round of the playoffs, beginning Sunday afternoon. Tyrese Maxey led […]
Juventus are all of seven games into their 2025-26 Serie A season, but their first trip to the Italian capital of the new campaign feels a little more tenuous than things probably should be at this point of the year. Why’s that? Well, it really is pretty simple: Juventus are in the midst of a […]
The Las Vegas Raiders are 2-5 heading into their bye week, with the fan base on edge. After the third loss by three or more scores, the nation wants everyone shipped off. Pete Carroll is surprised by the start of the season and expected better results. His choice of personnel and John Spytek’s conservative approach […]
The Chicago Bears and Baltimore Ravens don’t see each other often — just seven times in NFL history — but when they do, the results are almost always chaotic, dramatic, or downright memorable. Two overtime wins for Chicago (2013 and 2017), a defensive slugfest in 2021, and a handful of wild swings have helped turn this uncommon matchup into a quietly entertaining series. With the Bears set to host the Ravens on Sunday, we rewind to one of the most unforgettable meetings between these team...
An explosion of runs led the Blue Jays to an early series lead. Will they extend that lead, or will the Dodgers strike back? Here’s an open thread for game 2.
In the last article, we covered the six defensive sacks in the Packers 27-23 week seven win over the Cardinals. While the sacks were impressive in their own way and helped the defense achieve the end result, a few of the sacks simply didn’t matter because of explosive pass plays given up on the same […]
Nothing will ever be easy I wondered in the halftime recap how the Huskers would respond once again facing a 7-6 score, this time on the upside, when the second half began. Last week, you may have heard, it didn’t go so well. Against Northwestern, history and the odds said something was gonna get tough […]
Wake Forest moved to 5-2 (2-2) after a heartstopping 13-12 win over SMU. If you haven’t done so already, it’s time to admit the Deacs are a pretty solid team, which was even tied in the 4th quarter of both of their losses. Jake Dickert may not be the frontrunner for ACC COY, but he … Continue reading »

For a moment in the second period, the Tampa Bay Lightning had shook off the shackles of their slow start and appeared to be on their way to a comfortable win against the Anaheim Ducks. Back-to-back milestone goals gave them a 3-1 lead and it seemed like they were headed to victory against a plucky Anaheim squad. The Ducks rocked the faith of the Lightning fans as they scored twice within a minute in the third period to tie things up. However, Anthony Cirelli, aka Tony Two Goals, lived up to h...
Never feels like Illinois gets that kind of call. Luke Altmyer threw a pick in the endzone, just before the two-minute timeout at Washington on Saturday. But an official threw a flag for interference and it turned a 2nd & 20 interception, into a 1st & goal for the Illini. I wish I could find […]
I knew this would be the way it would go. Bo is available to pinch hit or come into the game at some point, but he’s on the bench to start. I’m sure he’ll start Game Three in LA. John said Bo felt good after the game and he expects him to be able to […]

Starting running back Kewan Lacy put in an incredible effort […]
The San Francisco 49ers are activating defensive lineman Trevis Gipson and offensive lineman Nick Zakelj from the practice squad as standard elevations for their Week 8 game against the Houston Texans on Sunday. Gipson was promoted to the active roster last weekend during a flurry of moves to save his third and final standard elevation, […]
The Maple Leafs are hoping to exact retribution on their QEW rivals and avoid a four-game losing slide when they host the Sabres in the second game of their home-and-home (5:00 p.m. EST, Sportsnet).

To borrow a turn of phrase from my fellow Mavsmoneyball contributor, Bryan Robi – Oooohhweee. The Mavericks derped their way to an embarrassing 107-117 loss to the Washington Wizards in the second game of their six-game homestand. Let that sink in – The Washington Wizards. Now, a lot of people might point to Kyshawn George’s […]
