The Cubs came back home and got right back into a groove. When last we saw this team, they’d swept all seven games on a seven-game homestand. For those not keeping track at home, they also won the home game before that back on April 12. So this is now nine straight wins at Wrigley […]
No. 2 Indiana football is set to welcome the turnaround story of the 2025 college football season when the Hoosiers take on the UCLA Bruins on Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Bloomington, Indiana. They’re not quite the 2024 Hoosiers in terms of turnaround. UCLA’s move came midseason when the athletic department moved on from now-former […]
In basketball the term rebound is defined by possession after a missed shot. But beyond basketball it’s typically defined as a recovery following a setback. The first item is something Mizzou struggled with for the first two seasons during Dennis Gates’ tenure. The latter defined the third. There were a lot of prognosticators who doubted […]
Marcus Rashford is being tipped to star for Barcelona in El Clasico by Gary Lineker ahead of Sunday’s big game at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Manchester United loanee heads into the game fresh from bagging a brace against Olympiacos in the Champions League to continue his recent good form. Rashford is expected to start the […]
The North Carolina Tar Heels football season is now half over and a lot has changed in the three games since the last time we did this (mainly a bunch of losing). That recap came right before the UCF game when the team looked to be moving upward at 2-1 and a convincing win over […]
Welcome to The Shotgun/Throwdown, your daily West Virginia sports roundup (that we didn’t already talk about in another article) with some sophomoric humor and daily distractions thrown in for good measure. And if there’s something we missed, be sure to talk about it in the comments. HANDLED BUSINESS West Virginia men’s soccer steadied the ship on Wednesday night, […]
In case you missed it, we here at TGP have officially started our offseason series where we take a look back at every player who suited up for the Phillies during the season. The series kicked off with a look at one of the Phillies biggest questions of the offseason in J.T. Realmuto. So, now […]
If you haven’t heard by now, this morning the FBI announced arrests on gambling charges. Among the accused: NBA coach Chauncey Billups and former players Terry Rozier and Damon Jones. There appear to be two different situations. In the first, four Mafia crime families – the Bonnano, Genovese, Gambino and Lucchese – ran allegedly fixed […]
Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth could be found more easily on a milk carton than on a football field through the team’s first five games. The veteran had just eight catches for 76 yards ahead of the black and gold’s Thursday night contest against the Bengals. But his quiet start to the season quickly came to […]
The NBA world got quite the shock early Tuesday morning when Heat guard Terry Rozier and Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups were arrested for separate gambling-related crimes. The two were among over 30 people arrested by the FBI on Tuesday. Rozier was arrested for the alleged offenses for which he had previously been under federal investigation, while Billups […]
The stop-and-start saga of Raymond Muratalla’s mandatory IBF lightweight title defense against Andy Cruz may finally be reaching a conclusion, as Matchroom Boxing successfully defeated Top Rank at today’s purse bid. Per Jake Donovan, Matchroom’s $888,888 bid soundly trounced Top Rank’s $550,000, a rare victory for Eddie Hearn in this arena. This still leaves them […]
My first conscious memory of the Silver Slugger award was opening a pack of Upper Deck baseball cards and pulling out a Daryl Strawberry card (when he was on the Dodgers) with a Silver Slugger award logo in the corner. I asked my dad, “What’s a Silver Slugger?” and he probably said something like “oh […]
Pat Narduzzi and Dave Doeren have been coaching in the ACC concurrently since 2015, but this week marks only the third time they’ve gone up against each other—all three times in Pittsburgh, incidentally. Dave’s going to need to push his record against Narduzzi to 3-0 to breathe some life back into NC State’s season. The […]
Good evening, folks. Today’s Daily Bee is a little late because I spent all day preparing to teach an Introduction to Linear Regression session. The session went great. I got to spend an hour lecturing the audience about the many virtues of the linear model and indoctrinating them in the gospels of the Church of […]
On October 23rd in 2008, Boston Bruins power forward Milan Lucic delivered a crushing check against Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Mike Van Ryn shattering the TD Garden glass early in the second period of play. Neither player was injured during the incident though a few front row fans were cut by glass. Toronto beat Boston that night by a score of 4-2. That's today in NHL history.
The Carolina Hurricanes continue their annual State Fair road trip on Thursday night against the Colorado Avalanche, and they’ve one 3-1-0 on a brutal six-game swing that g0t started with wins in California over San Jose, Anaheim and Los Angeles before the team suffered its first loss of the season in Vegas. The Canes were […]

On October 22nd in 1997, Wayne Gretzky's wife Janet Jones was bloodied and knocked unconscious when a heavy hit by New York Rangers defenseman Ulf Samuelsson on Chicago Blackhawks forward Sergei Krivokrasov dislodged a large pane of plexi-glass striking the 36 year old actress. Jones was treated by team doctors before being carried out of Madison Square Garden on a stretcher and transported by
The State Fair road trip rolls on as the Carolina Hurricanes will pay a visit to the Colorado Avalanche for a game that is highly anticipated for a number of reasons. From a player perspective, it will mark the first time the Hurricanes have seen Martin Necas and Jack Drury since the blockbuster Mikko Rantanen […]
Late news Peter Stöger shuffles things quite a bit. Some of it is due to injury—losing striker Claudy Mbuyi, for example—but some of it’s tactical as well. Stefano Pioli’s also missing his top striker in Moise Kean, so it’s Roberto Piccoli and Edin Džeko to lead the line; Albert Guðmundsson remains glued to the bench. […]
With both the men’s and women’s teams squarely in the thick of their respective fall seasons, the ITA Regionals represented an opportunity to show each of their individual and team growth as they each look to compete nationally. Northwestern men’s and women’s tennis both participated in the ITA Midwest Regionals. While the men made a […]
I know, I know, the Brewers aren’t in the World Series. It’s unfortunate. Still, it will be an interesting series (with potential collective bargaining ramifications!) as the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays take the field. Check out some of the connections these teams have to Wisconsin and the Brewers here! The Dodgers are […]
Portland Trail Blazers Head Coach Chauncey Billups has been suspended indefinitely by the NBA. Billups was arrested on Thursday morning by the FBI for charges of illegal gambling, specifically participating in an organized crime racket involving illegal poker games. On the heels of that news, the NBA has placed Billups, along with Miami veteran Terry […]
Truly great performances in the NFL never go unnoticed. Rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden’s magnificent outing against the Colts this past Sunday was the talk of the football world in the days that followed because, well, how often does a day three rookie go for 164 yards and a touchdown on just seven catches? Especially […]
The San Francisco 49ers haven’t had Brandon Aiyuk all season. Starting quarterback Brock Purdy has been off a football field for nearly a month. General manager John Lynch spoke about how close both players are to returning to action during an interview on KNBR Thursday morning. Lynch explained why putting a hard date on Purdy’s […]
It wasn’t hard to see that the New York Jets entered the 2025 season with an uneven wide receiver room. Leading the room? Garrett Wilson, who is arguably one of the league’s top 10 wideouts. After him? One could say the room was “unproven” if they wanted to be kind. But unproven isn’t always bad. […]
