Tuesday’s Everton News: Spurs defeat fallout, March and Esteve links

Your daily dose of Everton news and rumours James Garner says it’s obvious where Everton must improve despite ‘progressive season’: “Personally I’ve had a half decent season but it’s not just me, there’s a team as well and there are 11 different people on the pitch and subs that can come on so I’ll help in whatever […]

Mariners win battle of piggyback starters against A’s, 9-2

The piggyback situation remains an uncomfortable – and I would argue, untenable – situation for Luis Castillo and Bryce Miller, but both of them pitched through that tonight and did their jobs, pitching all nine innings without touching the bullpen, giving up two runs (both Miller’s) with a combined 10 strikeouts to just two walks […]

Sunderland’s Class Of 2025/2026 Are The Immortals

All my life, I’ve been searching for something, Something never comes, never leads to nothing… The opening lines of the Foo Fighters’ 2002 single All My Life (released, coincidentally, at a time when Sunderland were entering a major downturn that culminated in relegation to the second tier under Mick McCarthy) have often felt like an […]

On This Day (26 May 1988): England Heartbreak For “Ower Gary”

Gary Owers was a brilliant servant for Sunderland AFC during the 1980s and 1990s, and many Roker Park regulars felt at the time that his skills deserved wider recognition. There were various rumours and links with big moves up the league over the years that failed to materialise, and somewhat unfortunately for a player whose […]

“One Day, One Game, One Moment”

Andrew Parrington says… Forced to watch from afar, the greatest moment for me was the moment the players broke their huddle after the match, after learning that we would be going to the Europa League. Like a lot of fans all over the country and around the world, I was watching in my Sunderland shirt […]

Talking Points: Europa Awaits as Sunderland Dream Big Again

I recall the 2005 Champions League Final like it was yesterday. Not because of Liverpool’s dramatic comeback, or Jerzy Dudek’s penalty-saving heroics, but because of how it made me feel as a Sunderland-supporting kid – envy. Not least because I was surrounded by my mum’s half of the family (all loud and proud Scousers of […]

Editorial: Sunderland’s Greatest Day

I’ve waited a day or so before writing this for a good few reasons. One, I was in absolutely no fit state after the match to write anything other than “where r u???” to my Uber driver as I stumbled out of the Baker’s Oven with some mince concoction, and two, I knew I’d be […]

Dodgers 5, Rockies 3: Another late lead bites the dust

The Colorado Rockies had a 3-1 when the fans at Dodger Stadium sang “Take Me Out to the Ballgame,” but the two-run cushion didn’t turn out to be enough on Monday night. The bullpen surrendered four runs in the bottom of the seventh, erasing a solid start from Tanner Gordon, who reduced his ERA to […]

2026 NBA Draft Profile: Bennett Stirtz – Translating the Untranslatable

I know what you’re thinking, and you’re right – Bennett Stirtz is definitely not one of the Big 3 prospects that the Jazz need to consider with their 2nd overall pick. However, players with Stirtz’s combination of ball handling, shooting versatility, and awareness don’t come around often, and deserve to be scouted in the event […]

Iowa Cubs Wrap: I-Cubs outslug Indianapolis, 9-7

Open Thread: The Knicks are heading to the NBA Finals

The New York Knickerbockers are returning the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999. Every Spurs fan remembers (or depending on your age, is familiar with) with those particular Finals. The franchise has made four Finals appearances, but New York has not won a title since 1973. They head into the 2026 Finals on […]

Virginia Tech football recruiting: Hokies land 4-star OL Kaden Buchanan

Dodgers wait out the Rockies in win at home

When you’re facing a disadvantage in both the starting pitching duel and also the bullpen, nine innings is quite a long time, and that’s what the Rockies learned in this 5-3 defeat to the Dodgers. Tanner Gordon did his best to keep up with Emmet Sheehan and even left the game with a 2-1 lead, […]

New York Liberty cough up ball, lead vs. Portland Fire, lose 81-74

Betnijah Laney-Hamilton missed her third straight game. Sabrina Ionescu made her season debut on Sunday night, but evidently wasn’t ready for a back-to-back. Satou Sabally did play four minutes before leaving with an illness. Leonie Fiebich is not quite ready. Just seven games into the season, the New York Liberty have found themselves in the […]

Canadiens vs. Hurricanes Top Six Minutes: Habs fall once again in overtime

First period Montreal has been able to clear the puck out of the defensive zone a few times, but that’s about the extent of their play through the opening two minutes. They haven’t found a lane to move the puck through yet. Kirby Dach tries to throw a big hit on Jaccob Slavin in Montreal’s first excursion into the offensive zone, but bounces off his hip and crashes into the boards. Dach seems to be alright at least. Jake Evans chips the puck past Jalen Chatfield and tries to k...
