The Seattle Seahawks beat the Jacksonville Jaguars last week on the road and now have another game against the Houston Texans. Despite trailing Jacksonville in the AFC South race, I believe Houston will be a much tougher game. I think this is the biggest challenge the Seahawks have faced so far. The Texans have a […]

First, there was the sound. The metallic, bone-vibrating ring of the backboard, and only then the picture: the ball falling through the net while Toyota Center turns into an aquarium of school fish, all eyes wide, all asking if this is possible. Rockets disarmed at the buzzer. Milwaukee wins 110–107. And Monta Ellis, the one […]

The LA Kings have started the 2025-26 season with a record of 1-3-1, but things get worse. The team has now lost its captain and top line center, Anze Kopitar, for the time being. It was reported that he will be out week-to-week with a foot injury after being hit in the foot by a puck in the previous game against the Minnesota Wild .

The Portland Trail Blazers are deeper than they’ve been in years. That depth arguably extends to their two-way contracted players, and while Sidy Cissoko and Caleb Love will spend a good deal of time with the Rip City Remix this season, the pair appear to be ready to contribute with the big club when required.

The best laid plans of mice and men often go awry. Let’s narrow the focus to men. The plans of mice mostly seem to be to infiltrate the basement apartments of non-cat-owning humans. Their motivations outside of this endeavor are unclear. Plans are infamously difficult to make. The best plans aren’t linear. They have built-in […]

Usually I wouldn’t place great importance on a non-conference game relatively early in the season. The upcoming Monday Night Football matchup at Lumen Field between the Seattle Seahawks and Houston Texans, however, feels a little different. The Seahawks will have next week off due to their bye. It remains to be seen if Julian Love […]

Our Washington State Cougars once again hop on a plane and head to a faraway land, this time Charlottesville, Virginia, home of the no. 18 Virginia Cavaliers. If last week’s game was any indication, our Cougs are up to the task. Last week’s near-upset of no. 4 Ole Miss put some hope in the minds […]

You know that feeling in NBA 2K when you’re in Franchise Mode, trying to build the team of your dreams, and the computer keeps rejecting your trade offers because they’re not remotely fair?

The Magic have been one of my teams for a couple of years now. I love Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, and their collection of young defenders is exciting to watch. Unfortunately, their Achilles heel has been their inability to score, and they have been ousted from the playoffs in consecutive years due to an […]

For the first time since February, Joel Embiid played a basketball game. Sure, it was only preseason, but given how miserable the last calendar year has been for this franchise and fanbase, it’s something. Led by Embiid and a dynamic guard trio, the Sixers took down the Minnesota Timberwolves 126-110 for their only preseason win […]

If you’re going through something difficult, it always helps to have support around you, especially if some of those folks know exactly what you’re going through. Portland Trail Blazers guard Damian Lillard, who suffered a ruptured Achilles on April 27, 2025 playing a first-round playoff game with the Milwaukee Bucks, has at least some of […]

Philadelphia 76ers center and former NBA MVP Joel Embiid returned to action in the Sixers’ preseason finale on Friday night. The Sixers won their final exhibition game 126-110 over the Minnesota Timberwolves, but most of the attention was on the result of Embiid’s return more so than the result of the game itself. It is […]

The Spurs put together another win tonight to wrap up the preseason with a perfect 5-0 record, but the Pacers made them work for it by playing tough defense and hitting their shots in a closely played first half. Coach Lloyd Pierce, subbing out for Rick Carlisle, rested his starters at halftime, and the Spurs […]

The Brooklyn Nets played their fourth and final preseason game on Friday night, visiting the Toronto Raptors. Viewers can only hope the first half wasn’t a true preview of their regular season. Not only did Brooklyn fall behind by double-digit immediately — though that part might not bother many — but they looked overmatched by […]
