Trash talk is a way of life in sports. Players say things at each other. Fans say things at players. And Players sometimes react to the fans. Yesterday, after the Washington Wizards lost to the Philadelphia 76ers in overtime, the 76ers reacted and trolled a Wizards fan wearing a Jordan Poole jersey. Poole now plays […]
The Washington Commanders lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, and Joe Whitt talked about the play the pissed him off the most on Monday night, letting Patrick Mahomes get to the outside on 4th on 2 on the Chiefs first drive of the 2nd half. They had two interceptions, but Quan Martin’s forced fumble wasn’t […]
#1 – Continuity or convenience? For the second straight game, Joe chose to roll with a starting lineup of Pritchard, White, Brown, Minott, and Queta as the Celtics hosted the Cavs at TD Garden.

Tottenham Hotspur hosts Chelsea FC in a London derby that comes at a very quick turnaround for both sides. Both Chelsea and Spurs played last night in the League Cup’s fourth round, but with different results.

Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. The 2025-26 NBA season has just started. But we have seen some progress from the team’s […]
Great win for the Celtics. It's funny to watch the Cavs fans being sure of a win at first and then trashing their whole team at the end and wanting Queta and Garza on their team. The Celtics big man rotation might not be as bad as everyone thinks. Once again so much complaining about the refs giving the Celtics the game when both teams shot 24 free throws. I also don't get the Doris Burke hate. My favorites are in bold. What are yours? I'm nervous about goin...
The Washington Wizards announced Thursday the team has exercised the third-year rookie scale team option on Bub Carrington, Kyshawn George, Alex Sarr and AJ Johnson. The team also exercised the fourth-year rookie scale option on Bilal Coulibaly and Cam Whitmore. Washington has prioritized building through the draft throughout its rebuild. Now, six members of its […]
Xavi Hernández has been linked with quite a few jobs since leaving Barcelona a year and a half ago, but the coach continues to wait for the right opportunity to return to management. Manchester United, Ajax and Al Ittihad all flirted with Xavi for their job openings in the last 6-12 months, but the legendary […]
“Ah – Playoffs? Don’t talk about — playoffs?! You kidding me? Playoffs?! I just hope we can win a game!” — Jim Mora. The good thing about this gig is that it doubles as therapy. Writing has a way of easing the mind and spirit amid the emotional roller coaster of being a Minnesota Vikings […]
A look at the projected lineups and pre-game interviews.
Basketball may be their profession, but for many NBA stars, casino gaming is a favorite pastime. The adrenaline of competition, the high stakes, the psychological warfare—it’s no surprise that some of the world’s most competitive athletes are drawn to the green felt and flashing lights of the casino floor. Even Michael Jordan, the greatest basketball […] The post Miami Heat stars who’ve been blinded by the casino lights away from the court appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blo...

After 10 games, how does this Blackhawks team line up with the expectations from the season?
The Milwaukee Bucks take on the Golden State Warriors tonight in a marquee matchup. Both teams have lost only one game this season and have looked the goods thus far, making this game one to watch. The Warriors dominated the Bucks last season, beating them in both matchups, doing an admirable job guarding Giannis in […]
It’s been far too long since a Seattle sports team got on the field, but the Seattle Seahawks are just a few days from kicking off the second half of their season. As they head out to Washington to face the Commanders on Sunday night, their opponents are headed towards a swap of their star […]
The propulsion of this year’s season is quite a bit different than what was planned. No team in any league has a blueprint that begins with a 2-5-0 record. Which isn’t so bad when the entity is the NHL, NBA, MLS, or Major League Baseball. They play so many games that a bad start can […]
The Seattle Kraken have gotten off to a solid start to the season, anchored by Joey Daccord and a deeper lineup. But the 5-3-2 start might not be fooling management, or organizations around the league that could look at the roster the Kraken have and pick out some valuable pieces they'd like to acquire. Elliotte Friedman said, "I guarantee you there are teams out there looking at all the draft picks the Kraken have and they're saying this is a team that has what we want. Seattle's going to hav...
The (first) day has arrived. When the 2025-26 regular season schedule was released, everyone I know went looking for the same specific games: Blackhawks vs. Jets. Yes, they’re Central Division foes; I’m not sure I would qualify it as a rivalry. But this year there’s a different element. Jonathan Toews is playing for his hometown Jets. After two years away from the bright lights of the NHL, the longest tenured captain in the history of the Chicago Blackhawks decided to lace the skates back...
In Today’s Links: the possibilities are multiple, but we may have the horses to support Julian Love’s absence. Our Seattle Seahawks have been doing alright, so far. How much longer can they sustain success without one of their main dudes? Also in the links today, a Ty Okada profile, how Coach Macdonald has schemed his […]
The regular NBA season has 82 games, and after game five, it looks like there may be some adversity ahead for the Dallas Mavericks.

With the bye week now in the rearview mirror, the Detroit Lions are back in action in Week 9, hosting the Minnesota Vikings for the first of their two games this season. To break things down ahead of Sunday, Meko and Morgan (me) are back with another episode of “Before the Roar,” where we discuss […]
The Dallas Mavericks played host to former head coach Rick Carlisle and the Indiana Pacers, grabbing a 107-105 win in a relatively ugly affair. Unexpected players stepped up in a big way to eek out the win, but the injury list grew when Anthony Davis checked out midway through the first quarter. Let’s get to […]
