Arsenal midfield maestro Declan Rice is basically a 50/50 proposition for Saturday night’s first versus worst Premier League fixture. Rice, one of the Gunners’ many star men, has an unspecified illness, but according to manager Mikel Arteta, it doesn’t sound very serious. “I think that he needed more of a bed than sunshine because he […] The post Arsenal Team News vs Wolves: Declan Rice, William Saliba, Leandro Trossard appeared first on The Sports Bank .
As quickly as No. 21 Ohio State women’s basketball’s Big Ten season arrived, it was gone. The randomly placed first weekend of the conference season is behind the Buckeyes.

The Blackhawks’ win over the Rangers on Wednesday night checked almost every box that you would want from the team. Connor Bedard scored a highlight-reel goal. Tyler Bertuzzi deposited loose change again. Spencer Knight was spectacular in net and got a shutout. The Blackhawks were able to beat Igor Shesterkin three times. It was the right bounce-back effort that you hoped to see. When I say almost every box, that’s because Frank Nazar still can’t buy a goal. He had a few chances. One...
The reclamation quest begins! We know the Chicago Cubs will make a ton of moves like this throughout the offseason (and into the regular season), and we know it’s important that at least SOME of them hit.

Throwback to Snider's transformation between the 2023 and 2024 seasons. 👀 pic.t...

Love it, like it, dislike it, or hate it, the Mike Yastrzemski signing is done.
