Liverpool’s big 3-nil win over Brighton in the FA Cup is a much needed result given Liverpool’s topsy turvy season. And while fans have certainly be within their rights to be skeptical of improvement given that the team has struggled for consistency in Premier League play, perhaps being able to beat a Premier League team […]
According to the BBC, Marc Cucurella “is hoping to return in 3-4 weeks” from his hamstring injury, which presumably finally got properly scanned and assessed, with a rehab plan put in place. Cucurella got hurt in the game against Leeds United on Tuesday, but on Friday night, after our 4-0 victory against Hull City, head […]
Happy Valentine’s Day. I’d LOVE to see a Gopher win.
The first major coordinator hire for former Seattle Seahawks play-caller and Las Vegas Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak does not involve anyone from Mike Macdonald’s staff. Instead, he’s opted to promote someone who was on Pete Carroll’s Raiders staff. With Patrick Graham leaving the Raiders to be DC of the Pittsburgh Steelers, it looks like […]
This past week, I asked a question that was originally suggested by Johnny, aka Alpha6: With the idea that our Miami Dolphins have taken multiple members of both the front office and coaching staff away from the Green Bay Packers to rebuild the staff in Miami, do you see the Packers taking a step back, […]
The Green Bay Packers are almost certainly going to take a cornerback in the 2026 draft, if not to replace Keisean Nixon, Carrington Valentine or Nate Hobbs in 2026, then to replace the expiring contracts of Nixon, Valentine, Bo Melton and Kamal Hadden in 2027. Nixon, Valentine and Hadden are going into the final year […]
Germany coach Julian Nagelsmann says he won’t close the door on Marc-Andre ter Stegen making his World Cup squad but admits it will be really difficult for the goalkeeper. Ter Stegen has been forced onto the sidelines after undergoing surgery on a torn hamstring. The injury occurred shortly after he left Barcelona for a loan […]
Number 17 ranked TCU Women’s Basketball picked up a huge win this Thursday on the road over number 12 ranked Baylor by a score of 83-67. Baylor was at the top of the Big 12 standings coming into the game and the Frogs drew within a half a game of first place with the win […]
The Louisville men’s basketball team celebrated Valentine’s Day with an impressive 82-71 win over Baylor Saturday afternoon in Fort Worth. The victory was the Cardinals’ fifth straight. In his first game since tying a school record with 45 points, Mikel Brown Jr. was once again phenomenal. The freshman point guard scored a game-high 29 points […]
The Las Vegas Raiders promoted defensive line coach Rob Leonard to defensive coordinator on Saturday. Here are some thoughts on the move: He deserves chance: Leonard, who has been with the Raiders for three seasons, is a well-respected coach around the NFL and he has had success. He has been an NFL coach for 13 […]

The Los Angeles Chargers will have the Super Bowl in their backyard a year from now, but there is a chance that the team could be participating in the big game as opposed to watching it on TV. ESPN analyst Seth Walder believes the Chargers could win Super Bowl LXI at SoFi Stadium against the […]
Live from Delaware, it’s Saturday Night! I, NAS204PSU, am here at BTSC to bring you this Saturday Night Open Thread (aka SNOT). Well it’s the offseason, and the Seahawks are the reigning champs for 2026. Mike McCarthy and his new staff have their work cut out for them. Big changes may be in store for […]
New Las Vegas Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak is starting to fill out his coaching staff, promoting Rob Leonard to defensive coordinator and keeping Joe Woods as defensive pass game coordinator, according to NFL Network. Leonard has been with the Raiders since 2023, serving as the defensive line coach under former defensive coordinator Patrick Graham, […]
The Dallas Cowboys have embarked on a comprehensive restructuring of their defensive coaching staff following a 2025 season where the unit surrendered the most points in franchise history. This overhaul began with the appointment of 34-year-old Christian Parker as the new defensive coordinator. Parker, previously the defensive passing-game coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles, replaces Matt […]
Full disclaimer: I have no idea what the Philadelphia Eagles’ offense will look like in 2026. New offensive coordinator Sean Mannion has never called plays over a full NFL season. New pass game coordinator Josh Grizzard has only done it once. There is no finished product to evaluate yet, no Eagles film to diagnose, no […]
Receiver is sneakily a major offseason need for the Los Angeles Rams. LA is likely to extend star receiver Puka Nacua this offseason. Davante Adams would be best-utilized in a more niche role. The rest of the team’s depth have not demonstrated they are capable of making important contributions on the NFL’s biggest stages. So […]
The NFL offseason is here, and while it’s easy to skip straight to the draft madness, another important roster-building event is even closer: free agency. Ahead of legal tampering opening on March 9, BTSC will be putting together lists of the top names at some of Pittsburgh’s top position groups of need in the upcoming […]
KINGSTON, R.I. — Two seasons ago, Mike Magpayo’s UC Riverside team sat at 3-8 in Big West play before ripping off four wins in a row and seven of the last nine to finish 10-10 in conference play. Three thousand miles east, Magpayo is trying to pull off that same trick in his first season […]
The “12” may be a Seattle Seahawks thing. But with Klint Kubiak’s arrival in the desert as the Las Vegas Raiders head coach, it’ll become a Silver & Black thing, too. No, no. Not the raucous home crowd at Lumen Field in Seattle. That’s most-definitely a Seahawks thing as the Raiders have a tremendous amount […]
Tensions are rising within the Pittsburgh Steelers family after former All-Pro center Maurkice Pouncey delivered a passionate public defense of longtime quarterback Ben Roethlisberger in response to criticism from former linebacker Joey Porter. Pouncey, who was recently inducted into the Steelers Hall of Honor alongside Roethlisberger, did not hold back when addressing what he described […]
No matter who stands as head coach of VCU’s storied men’s basketball program, the title always comes with one certainty: expectations. It’s a weight that first-year Rams head coach Phil Martelli Jr. was willing to bear when he first took the job in March 2025 after leading Bryant to the NCAA Tournament. “VCU and especially […]
Free agency in the National Football League is rapidly approaching, and there are all sorts of rumors flying around concerning the Minnesota Vikings, specifically about their quarterback situation. On the positive side, it sounds like there’s no shortage of potential signal-callers who want to come to Minnesota, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. My sense […]
By nearly any measure the Los Angeles Rams had one of the NFL’s top offenses in 2025: On the surface it seems like a wild take to say that LA needs more offensive firepower. But they do. The Rams can be too heavily reliant at times on star receiver Puka Nacua. Nacua is the engine […]
The quarterback market coming out of college got another hit when Trinidad Chambliss of Ole Miss was granted an extra year of eligibility by a state judge on Thursday. Earlier, Oregon QB Dante Moore had pulled his name from consideration and announced he will remain in school another year. The Cardinals will most likely draft […]
