Triple-A: Norfolk Tides 5, Nashville Sounds (Brewers) 2 —Game 1 F/7 The Orioles kept Sam Huff in the organization with a fresh minor league deal after he cleared waivers and elected free agency last week. The move ensured that Baltimore could turn to Huff if either Adley Rutschman or Samuel Basallo went down with an […]
The last analysis I did to preview the Buffalo Bills’ Week 6 game against the Atlanta Falcons leaned heavily on the idea of that team’s volatility. It turns out the Bills got a very good version of the Falcons and came away with a loss. I could write a similar article this week about the […]
The Colorado Buffaloes posted their pregame injury report late on Thursday night ahead of their trip to Salt Lake City to battle the Utah Utes, and fans now have a lot to be excited about. The Buffs, who have been arguably the most injured team in the Big 12, look to be finally getting some […]
Madrid overflows with history, architecture, culture, sport, and romance. Spain’s most abundant city offers exhilarating adventures for every sense. Masterpieces housed inside the Museo del Prado, Reina Sofia, and Thyssen-Bornemisza appeal to the visual. They include works by such legends as El Greco, Goya, and Picasso. Sound is best captured during the iconic outdoor festivals […]
BVB are due for a four-game stretch of back-to-back away games starting from Tuesday evening, but first they must face sixth-place FC Köln at the Westfalenstadion in the late Saturday game. After dropping points against RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich, Dortmund returned to winning ways on Tuesday against FC København in the Champions League. Now […]
With the NFL trade deadline fast approaching, fans’ eyes are turning toward potential upgrades the Green Bay Packers could make to bolster their team for a (hopefully) deep run. One of the obvious areas of weakness this year is the cornerback position. Nate Hobbs’ play at outside corner through seven games leaves a lot to […]
(#8)Ole Miss at (#13)Oklahoma Noon, ABC Two one-loss teams fighting for survival in a crowded SEC field. Both teams are coming off disappointing losses – who is ready to bounce back? John Mateer hasn’t quite been himself since returning from injury, and a win against Ole Miss could set up the Sooners for an exciting […]
Given the history of the NC State football program, Dave Doeren should be commended for his efforts in stabilizing the program. While he didn’t bring home conference titles like Earle Edwards, Lou Holtz, or Bo Rein, and failed to reach the double-digit win threshold of Chuck Amato, Doeren has supplied stability to the program that […]
Real Madrid legend Luis Figo talked about El Clásico in an event with Betfair where he also shared his thoughts on how these games tend to unfold. “I think Real Madrid will win 3-1. They play at home and that always makes a difference. Besides, it would be a nice scoreline, with goals and entertainment,” […]
The Winnipeg Jets ( 5-2-0 ) will face their first back-to-back game situation of the NHL’s 2025-26 campaign, but they likely should have plenty of energy left over since the True Northers only managed to exert a high level of effort in 1 period last night against the Seattle Kraken. Although the final scoreboard read 3-0 for the opposition, it was really only one goal that was the difference….and I happened to miss it while making a late supper mid-game. So it wasn’t that the Jets played horri...
2025 stats: 128 G, 535 PA, .231/.340/.430, .198 ISO, 13 BB%, 25 K%, 118 wRC+, 3.7 fWAR Here it is. The moment that the Giants’ 2025 season tripped over itself and started its long tumble to kaput. Note Matt Chapman’s right hand. See the squish of digits, wrist bent awkwardly over palm, all crushed by […]

As there are a few current Miami Hurricanes that have been featured atop the 2026 NFL mock drafts (as well as 2027, and 2028 with possible WR1 Malachi Toney), a number of ProCanes continue to shine at the next level. The Canes have routinely produced some of the top NFL talent where that is no different […]
It feels like the Buffalo Bills haven’t played a game in ages, thanks to the team’s Ween 7 bye. That’s what happens when a team loses two games in a row against opponents they should have been able to push aside. Almost nothing’s come easy for the Bills through six games this season, but there’s […]
It’s been a tough season but many of our community members are still planning to see the Las Vegas Raiders play in person this season. Plus, many have already seen the team play. We asked our community members for their thoughts on attending games this season in this week’s Tuesday Community Question. Here are some […]
On Thursday night, the Edmonton Oilers put up their biggest offensive showing of the season, scoring three unanswered to defeat the Montreal Canadiens 6-5. The messy back-and-forth affair turned controversial, owing to an imbalance in power play opportunities between the two teams. Edmonton had five on the night, converting on two in the final frame,…
A two-forward formation could be Sounders’ secret weapon.
Tony Pauline is reporting that the Pittsburgh Steelers are targeting Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley. The Titans should be working around the clock to make something happen with Ridley. He is their best receiver and one of the few weapons that they actually have, but this team isn’t going to be competitive until 2027. […]
Or is that Ottawa, and Buffalo is their third home?
FC Barcelona are refusing to concede defeat in their bid to have head coach Hansi Flick on the touchline for Sunday’s El Clásico at the Santiago Bernabéu. Despite the RFEF’s Appeals Committee upholding Flick’s one-match suspension, the club has decided to take the case to the Administrative Court of Sport (CAS), hoping for a last-minute […]

Let’s start the breakdown for Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers! OT Kelvin Banks Starting with the first round pick from 2025, Kelvin Banks has been […]
Mike McDaniel and the Miami Dolphins have the league's worst defensive line and second-worst offensive line, per Pro Football Focus.
It will be a Noon kickoff tomorrow in Atlanta as the Syracuse Orange (3-4, 1-3) take on the #7 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (7-0, 4-0). Georgia Tech is a 16.5 point favorite according to FanDuel. The game will be broadcast on ESPN and here’s what we predict will happen: Kevin (5-2): Georgia Tech 33, Syracuse […]
Fresh off a dominant win over the Washington Commanders, the Dallas Cowboys hit the road this week to take on the Denver Broncos. Dallas has not defeated Denver in nearly 30 years, so the Cowboys will look to break that long streak on Sunday afternoon. Before the two teams square off, here are three bold […]
We are mere days away from the start of the 2025-26 college basketball season. Well, to be exact, we’re exactly nine days away, but who’s counting?! The Mountain West remains one of the best non-power conferences in Division-I, but there will be plenty of question heading into the new season with as much turnover as […]
