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 […]
The Wisconsin Badgers are back on the road to finish a dreadful October, as they take on the No. 6 Oregon Ducks in Eugene on Saturday. The Badgers are on a five-game losing streak, having lost four straight conference games and nine straight in the Big Ten dating back to last year. Their offense has […]
With injuries still causing significant absences on the Philadelphia Flyers’ blue line and the destabilization of the bottom of the depth chart, it might be up to one single defensive pairing to really carry this team to early-season success. The Flyers have a third pairing that very few people in the National Hockey League are envious of. Whether it’s been Egor Zamula, Noah Juulsen, Adam Ginning or (for a game) Emil Andrae, the fifth and sixth defensemen have been far from great. If it w...
Ahead of his first Clásico as Real Madrid coach, Xabi Alonso responded to Kiyan Sobhani of Managing Madrid about the importance of finding a target in the box on Saturday in his pre-game press conference as he said, “it’s a matter of quality of the individual players. We have another kind of striker with much […]
The No. 3 Aggies look to stay undefeated as they look to break their Death Valley curse on Saturday night against the LSU Tigers. A win would give the Aggies: Suffice to say, a win here could have massive implications (which will continue to be a weekly theme as long as they keep winning. No. […]
New England Patriots’ head coach Mike Vrabel spent last season with the Cleveland Browns as a coaching and personnel consultant. After a year of learning the ins and outs of the Cleveland organization, he was hired in New England. Vrabel will have a chance to face off against the very people who hired him last year and […]
When the Cleveland Browns drafted Dillon Gabriel in the third round of this year’s NFL draft, it was a mixture of emotions. Most of the reactions towards the pick were highly negative (including DBN’s Producer) and it somewhat trickled into training camp. As someone who attended one of the training camp practices, I watched Gabriel […]
As they say, shooters shoot. And right now, few in the NHL know the meaning of that phrase like Matt Boldy. The fifth-year winger may have started the season with back-to-back three-point games, but his most dominant game so far was probably his effort in Dallas on October 14. He scored just one goa...
The Dodgers lost a clunker to the Blue Jays in Game 1 of the World Series on Friday night, thanks to a nine-run sixth inning that turned the opener into a laugher. Blake Snell allowed the first three runs of the inning, leaving after not retiring any of his three batters faced in the sixth, […]
We’re pretty close to the halfway point in the 2025 NFL season, and your Detroit Lions are pretty close to expectations at their Week 8 bye. For example, way back in May, Erik Schlitt and I made 2025 Lions game-by-game predictions right after the schedule came out. Both of us had the Lions at 5-2 […]
As we hurl towards Sunday, and the Los Angeles Rams are on a bye week, what is your favorite thing about this team through their seven games played? For me, it’s their ability to lose a heartbreaker against the Philadelphia Eagles, then come back and win, and to lose a sickening game against the San […]
I felt I gave Bo Bichette kind of the short shift in the recap last night (a normal thing; generally, I want the recap up pretty quickly, so some things get missed). I was a little worried about Bo. Not in the way some on Twitter were. I read a lot of people saying that […]
The conversation surrounding the Edmonton Oilers and their goaltending never seems to go away. While the Oilers have gotten off to another ho-hum start at 4-3-1, the issue has been more due to their offense than their goaltending. But, we’ve all seen how the combination of Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard has held the Oilers…
Your morning round-up of the latest from Blueshirt Banter, Rangers News, and updates from around the NHL
The Dolphins need offensive line help, and a potential solution may fall into their laps before the trade deadline.
The Arizona Cardinals came into this season wanting their offensive identity to become a great running team. That is what OC Drew Petzing envisioned and is his scheme. The Cardinals were actively gathering offensive linemen who were primarily good run blockers. All of their tight ends were scouted for how they blocked, and if they […]
Barcelona play the biggest game of their season so far when they face Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday afternoon, and there will be quite a few key pieces missing. One of them is Hansi Flick, who is banned for the red card he received against Girona last week, so his assistant Marcus […]
Tyrese Proctor fell to the second round in this past summer’s NBA Draft and when he did, the Cleveland Cavaliers made it clear they felt like they got a steal. And so far, so good. The Cavs have a lot of injuries, which means other guys have to step up and so far, Proctor has. […]
The rise of televised exhibition games has made it easy to overreact to a contest that doesn’t actually count for anything. For example: based on UNC’s exhibition win over Memphis last season, Jalen Washington was going to be a dominant post player, Seth Trimble the team’s leading scorer, and Elliot Cadeau one of the top […]
Saints Rookie Impact Report: Week 8 In a rebuild year, the young players must step up. NFL Offensive Line Rankings 2025: Cowboys Dethroned at No. 1, While Seahawks, Eagles Slide Being ranked low after heavy investment in the offensive line is never a good sign. Former Saints star sheds new light on 2019 NFCCG debacle […]
Are you bad at something if you never do it, or does never doing it make you bad at it? The Atlanta Falcons lack of a middle-of-the-field (MOF) passing attack is starting to draw more attention. Michael Penix Jr.’s passing charts on NextGenStats are raising questions about what’s going on. Is it the coach, quarterback, […]
In a game where Vanderbilt was favored over a Top 10 team for the first time since 1978, the Commodores did their part. It was “only” a 7-point win in the inverse way that it was a 16-point loss to Alabama. Diego Pavia could have run in another TD with just under 2 minutes on […]
Opening blurb. 1.) 1979, Bears @ Vikings: Walter Payton makes history (again) On a cold and blustery October afternoon, the 3–4 Chicago Bears squared off against the 3–4 Minnesota Vikings. In a back-and-forth battle, the Bears jumped out to an early 14–3 lead, highlighted by a 54-yard touchdown strike from Walter Payton to Brian Baschnagel, […]
After a few days of mental regrouping, baseball is back, as the Blue Jays and Dodgers kicked off the 2025 World Series at the Rogers Centre up north of the border. It was a tense and tight start to Game 1 of the Fall Classic, but once they found their footing, the Blue Jays took […]
The Mavericks lost to the Wizards on Friday night, 117-107. It was an ugly game for Dallas, and one of the main reasons for that is their clear lack of a point guard. For the last seven years, it was easy to gloss over just how important a game manager is because they had, arguably, […]
