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, […]
It’s nearly time. Pour yourself a coffee or a libation and settle in for a late night watching the Atlanta Falcons take on the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football. Despite all the injuries on both sides—especially the 49er side—this ought to be a terrific game. The hope is that Atlanta will walk out […]
The Atlanta Falcons (3-2) and San Francisco 49ers (4-2) will close out Sunday of Week 7 with a “Sunday Night Football” matchup in Santa Clara. Despite having a similar record, these two teams feel like they’re headed in different directions. The Falcons enter this game coming off a big win over the Bills in Week […]
The New England Patriots’ season is only seven games old, but they have already bested their win numbers of both 2024 and 2023. Beating the Tennessee Titans 31-13 on the road on Sunday, the have now improved to 5-2 on the season — one win more than they were able to celebrate each of the […]
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — Illinois’ newcomers look pretty good. International additions David Mirkovic and Zvonimir Ivisic delivered a promising performance to Illinois fans in the Illini’s 92-65 exhibition win over Illinois State on Sunday afternoon at State Farm Center. With the Illini missing three key players in Andrej Stojakovic, Mihailo Petrovic and Tomislav Ivisic, fans were […]
Real Madrid escaped the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez with all three points after a hard-fought battle against José Bordalás’s Getafe. It wasn’t a glamorous performance, but a mature one — capped off by a late Kylian Mbappé winner and another clean sheet for Xabi Alonso’s side. Player Ratings Thibaut Courtois: 7.5 Had little to do until […]
The Green Bay Packers narrowly escaped a let-down game, holding on for a 27-23 win over the Arizona Cardinals to move to 4-1-1 on the season. While there’s plenty to clean up, perhaps the biggest concern right now for the Packers on either side of the ball has been a disappointing level of play from […]
The Dodgers are already in the World Series, and await the winner of the American League Championship Series. Game 6 is Sunday night at Rogers Centre in Toronto, with the Mariners up three games to two over the Blue Jays in the series. Seattle can clinch their first pennant on Sunday night, while Toronto needs […]
I said it to lead off player grades as well, but this was one of the weirder-feeling Bears wins that I can remember in a long time (granted, there haven’t been many wins in general in recent memory). Similar to the Washington game, the offense was gifted a few chances to put the game out of reach early, but again came up with threes instead of sixes, and took a couple of penalties that shot them in the foot. CHICAGO BEARS WIN AGAIN: Player Grades | Game Recap However, the defense did...
The San Francisco 49ers will once again be starting Mac Jones while Brock Purdy recovers from turf toe. They’ll also get superstar tight end George Kittle back from his hamstring injury. The 49ers won’t, however, have Fred Warner back for the rest of the season after his horrific ankle fracture. An ordinarily formidable Niners defense […]
Week 6 is not over yet; we’ve got one more game to watch on Sunday. The Atlanta Falcons are visiting the San Francisco 49ers in a potential NFC playoff preview. The Falcons are coming off a huge upset win over the Buffalo Bills. The 49ers have been the walking wounded this year, and they’re trying […]
Although the Kansas City Chiefs delivered their first shutout victory since the 2015 postseason on Sunday afternoon — a 31-0 domination of the Las Vegas Raiders — the team did not escape without injury concerns. Three key contributors — including two starters on the offensive line — left the game with injuries. After the game, […]
The Pittsburgh Steelers fell to 4-2 on Thursday night, but that didn’t mean they would fall far in the AFC playoff race. After the New England Patriots win, the Steelers fell to fourth place. With the Los Angeles Chargers loss on Sunday afternoon, the Steelers stick in fourth place in the conference after the Denver […]
The Green Bay Packers did not lead until two minutes were remaining in the game on Sunday, but they did just enough in the second half — and got a few big plays from their recently-embattled defense — to emerge victorious in their matchup with the Arizona Cardinals. Josh Jacobs scored the go-ahead touchdown with […]
The Buffalo Bills are on their bye week right now but entered Sunday tied for the lead in the AFC East. With some help from the Tennessee Titans, Buffalo could be back on top of the division without even playing. It wasn’t meant to be. The Patriots took care of business and now New England […]
In their fashionable red/blue warm-up pants, it was redshirt junior guard Braeden Smith, senior guard Adam Miller, senior guard Steele Venters, junior forward Braden Huff, and senior Graham Ike getting the starting nod for Gonzaga pregame versus the NAIA Northwest Eagles from nearby Kirkland, Washington. It was strange to see some open seats in the […]
The Los Angeles Chargers are back in the loss column after falling 38-24 against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 7 inside SoFi Stadium. The Chargers surrendered a touchdown to running back Jonathan Taylor on the opening drive and had to play from behind throughout the entire game. While they responded with a field goal, the […]
It’s been talked about on the broadcast of every Dallas game in recent weeks and mentioned in dozens of articles about the team; Dallas has the best offense in the NFL by many metrics and the worst defense in the league by those same metrics. Without getting fancy, let’s just compare the relative rankings of […]
Sunday felt like a day in which we would learn a lot about the Dallas Cowboys. Coming off of a frustrating loss against the Carolina Panthers and facing a team in the Washington Commanders who embarrassed them last year with all of their success… it stood a chance to be a day in which everything […]
Who knows man. We can have a conversation about the quarterbacks when a quarterback not named Kyler Murray wins a game. That’s not to say Jacoby Brissett was the issue, he’s absolutely not. But we need to understand that under Jonathan Gannon the Arizona Cardinals are 1-10 without Kyler Murray. So, it’s less about Murray […]

Once upon a time there was an NFL that had six divisions. One of which was the NFC West. To make sense of this division, prior to 2002, was to drive oneself to madness. A division for the western teams of the NFC included, somehow, San Francisco, California (which is as west as this country […]
