We don’t yet know when each of the Rams’ 2026 games will be, but we do know which teams they’ll play at home and on the road. The Rams will obviously face the rest of the NFC West — the Cardinals, 49ers and Seahawks — in home and away matchups next season. They’ve also got […]

After enjoying a long holiday break from the podcast Ryan and I have returned to talk about the last two games for the Boilermakers which were two victories including Kent State and at Wisconsin.

It's not often that you're facing the same team in the same arena for back-to-back games but the way the schedule has been laid out for the Minnesota Wild has them hanging around Los Angeles and facing the Kings once again on Monday night. The first game ended up being a 5-4 shootout loss for the Wi...

I was watching some non-Spurs NBA games during my holiday break and saw many familiar faces. Some players who at one time or another were members of the Spurs, others who were drafted and have since moved on. It got me to thinking about all the changes the Spurs have made to assemble this roster […]

Heading into Saturday night, the Clippers and Celtics were 29th and 30th in pace at nearly 96 possessions per game. For LA, fewer possessions make sense for their older roster. With 36-year-old James Harden and 34-year-old Kawhi Leonard, all attempts to limit their wear-and-tear are surely welcome. Paradoxically for the Celtics, the slower “pace” is […]

The Knicks and the Pistons are clashing tonight for the first time this season in a No. 1 vs. No. 2 showdown. Too bad the game is at Pizza Palace and not MSG. Here’s some of what’s been said in the last few hours. Mike Brown On the Knicks’ offensive identity breaking down: “It’s been […]

Chelsea interim head coach Calum McFarlane was taking his first ever game in senior professional football last night at the Etihad. Opposite him, Pep Guardiola, arguably the greatest working manager, was taking his 1011th. But by the end of the night, they were shaking hands as equals, with Chelsea taking a rather unlikely point back […]

When expectations meet reality, they can make for strange bedfellows. As a child, you expect to be the president, or an astronaut, or, in the case of my late uncle, a donkey (true story). As an adult, you become a policy analyst who reports to the man who reports to the woman who reports to […]

LOS ANGELES — While fans desire players to be as reliable as a calculator, the truth is they are human. And the consistency and dependability to reach a certain level of play are always a balancing act. This season, Deandre Ayton has been fairly consistent for the Lakers. He’s started every game he’s played in, logs […]

The Lakers badly needed a reset after a pretty rough stretch of games over the holidays. Fortunately, the Grizzlies offered themselves up as a middling team ready to take a couple of losses. Nothing about the last two games changes the problems or long-term outlook. But it does improve the mood ever so slightly. LeBron […]

Coach Mark Few was not happy with the effort from his No. 7 Gonzaga Bulldogs (16-1, 4-0 WCC) in the last two meetings and sent a message. He went with his eighth different starting lineup of the 2025-26 season and gave freshman wing Davis Fogle (two points on 1-for-3 shooting in ten minutes) his first […]

Gav says… Brobbey hits his stride I think Brian Brobbey has been really good recently and the goal he scored against Spurs was probably the best we’ve scored all season, although you have to give credit to Omar Alderete, Nordi Mukiele, Granit Xhaka and in particular Enzo Le Fée for their part in it, too.

The Phoenix Suns just knocked off the Oklahoma City Thunder. So on the one hand, they’ll be tired as they come in to play the Houston Rockets. On the other hand, teams that beat OKC (and Golden State back in the day) always get what I call a “Beating a champ bounce.” Usually a win […]
