The first two days of the 2026 NFL Draft are officially in the book. So far the Dallas Cowboys have been busy. They made two trades in the first round, moving up and then down, and ultimately came away with Caleb Downs and Malachi Lawrence. Early in the second round they dealt a fifth-round pick […]
The Miami Dolphins host the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday night, renewing a non-division rivalry that has had some good games, some absolute blowouts, and has become a lopsided affair in the recent years. In the last 12 meetings, dating back to the 2008 regular season and including the playoff game that postseason, the Ravens have […]
The Carolina Panthers were without Bryce Young last Sunday and instead had to roll with Andy Dalton. Recent history would have told you that the drop off from Young to Dalton wasn’t all that significant, and if the Panthers were going to compete with Young, they could do just about the same with his backup. […]
The New Orleans Saints dropped to 1-7 against NFC South rival Tampa Bay on Sunday. The loss did come with a quarterback change however, as the team announced that rookie Tyler Shough would now start going forward. Here are how the Saints and their division rivals stack up against the teams with the top 10 […]
Newcastle United are preparing to open discussions over a fresh contract for captain Bruno Guimaraes, with sporting director Ross Wilson set to play a key role in the talks as part of his ongoing review of the squad’s long-term structure. According to The Athletic’s Chris Waugh, Newcastle have already held preliminary discussions with Guimaraes’ representatives […]
Xavi Hernández has been linked with quite a few jobs since leaving Barcelona a year and a half ago, but the coach continues to wait for the right opportunity to return to management. Manchester United, Ajax and Al Ittihad all flirted with Xavi for their job openings in the last 6-12 months, but the legendary […]
Rafael Marchán tends to fly under the radar. He’s not a three-time All-Star like J.T. Realmuto, and he’s not a beloved master of locker room ceremonies like Garrett Stubbs. He stepped into a larger role this year for the Phillies, but still occupied only a small part of the Phillies faithful’s collective consciousness. Those of […]
The 2025-26 NHL season is still young, with many clubs just hitting double digits in games played, and our New Jersey Devils have checked off 10 contests themselves. So far, results have been positive: the club is 8-2-0 good for 16 points and first in not just the Metropolitan division, but also in the NHL […]
What will UNC’s men’s basketball season look like? We’ve argued all off-season about it. Now it’s prediction time. The roster has turned over almost completely. UNC men’s basketball doesn’t go into the season with quite the same number of questions as the football team did, but it’s close. Seth Trimble’s a significant known quantity, but […]
The calendar is turning to November and it’s time for teams to really separate themselves. Teams that are going to make a run at the playoffs have to start playing well. The teams that aren’t, are going to shift into “who do we fire?” and “how high will the draft pick be?” mode. Thankfully, the […]
When the Mets signed AJ Minter in January, the hope was that he would become a key member of the bullpen they had been missing: an effective lefty reliever. He had been great in Atlanta for his entire career up to this point, holding a 3.28 ERA with 422 strikeouts in 348 2/3 innings since […]
It’s Wednesday, so you know what that means… time for the blog that gives you the internet’s most ridiculous college football preview series- it’s #FakeNunes time. Can we keep finding ways to get #jokesandgarbage into a Syracuse Orange preview? You be the judge…. Now onto this week’s opponent Opponent: North Carolina Tar Heels Location: Chapel Bill, NC Students: 32, 234 […]
As all mid-major conferences do in the current college basketball landscape, the Horizon League had its fair share of turnover. A repeat champion is certainly in play, but the league is deep with a handful of teams that could win the new-look conference tournament and represent the league in the Big Dance. Robert Morris gave […]
“Ah – Playoffs? Don’t talk about — playoffs?! You kidding me? Playoffs?! I just hope we can win a game!” — Jim Mora. The good thing about this gig is that it doubles as therapy. Writing has a way of easing the mind and spirit amid the emotional roller coaster of being a Minnesota Vikings […]
Nebraska is gearing up for one of its biggest recruiting weekends of the year, as a star-studded group of prospects descends on Lincoln ahead of Saturday night’s showdown with USC. With the Trojans and offensive mastermind Lincoln Riley coming to town, the Huskers—now sitting at 6-2—are looking to make a statement both on the field […]
The Baltimore Ravens will look to carry the momentum from their win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday into a Thursday night showdown with the Miami Dolphins. The staff of Baltimore Beatdown gives their bold predictions for the AFC contest. The Ravens offense gets a massive boost with Lamar Jackson returning under center, even if […]
Week 10 is here. Troy Calhoun and the Air Force Fightin’ Falcons welcome Jeff Monken and Army West Point to Colorado Springs. Monken and Army will scoff at the notion that this rivalry even exists in the same stratosphere as “America’s Game”, Army-Navy. But I am here to tell you, this game is Air Force’s […]
Welcome back to football Liam Delap. The young Chelsea striker saw his first action since August last night, having returned from injury to feature off the bench in the Blues’ 4-3 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers in the League Cup 4th round. Delap made the absolute least of his opportunity, picking up two yellow cards in […] The post Chelsea at Tottenham Team News: Liam Delap, Cristian Romero, Archie Gray, Destiny Udogie appeared first on The Sports Bank .
The calendar flips to November, and the ACC race is coming into focus. Only Georgia Tech and Virginia remain unbeaten in league play, while others fight to salvage bowl chances or simply finish strong. Every possession now feels heavier, every mistake more costly, and the margin for error nearly gone. 17. Boston College (1-7, 0-5) […]
We ran our final approval rating on former Reading boss Noel Hunt a few days ago, covering his final 20 games in charge, and the results are actually fairly positive. You gave him an average of 3.02/5, so pretty much exactly in the middle overall – not bad at all for a sacked manager, even […]
The Packers and Panthers hardly have a storied history — the Panthers serving as a stepping stone on the way to the Packers’ Super Bowl XXXI victory is about as rich as this matchup gets. But Packers players have put up quite a few memorable performances against the Panthers over the years. Here are a […]
#1 — What is the one thing Cara Consuegra most needs to tweak for this season? Cara Consuegra’s first season in charge at Marquette was pretty successful. Not NCAA tournament successful, but for a Year 1 with very little continuity, it was pretty successful. For Year 2, Consuegra brings back everyone from last year’s roster. […]
The first head coaching hire since the dawn of the 2025 season is complete. Kent State didn’t have to conduct a national search in order to find its 24th head coach in program history. The Golden Flashes promoted interim head coach Mark Carney to an official head coaching role Thursday. “Since taking over as interim […]

With the completion of Mizzou’s second trimester of the 2025 season, I felt like it would be a good time to take a look at how the Tigers’ offense and defense ranks nationally. And not just in your standard stats like total rushing yards or whatever. No. We’re going deeper. Here’s what I got for […]
Marco Verratti has opened up about Paris Saint-Germain’s long-awaited Champions League victory and Kylian Mbappé’s impact at both PSG and Real Madrid, in an interview with Marca. The Italian midfielder—now playing in Qatar after more than a decade in Paris—offered a thoughtful perspective on how narratives around Mbappé’s departure have been oversimplified. “PSG won the […]
