Beat Wisconsin. The best word I can come up with to describe this season is “meh.” Beating Wisconsin won’t make this season magical, but it will at least keep it in the “meh” ballpark. The Gopher offense is not very good and kind of boring. The Gopher defense is bad, and seemingly getting worse week […]
Out LGBTQ athletes won numerous medals with songs from Madonna and RuPaul a couple months before the Winter Olympics. The post 3 out athletes win big medals skating to Madonna and RuPaul at early Olympics preview appeared first on Outsports .
8-3 after a lackluster performance by an offense that despite putting up record numbers on the first half of the season has been sputtering as of late. This one hurts because the Colts were close to beating a potential playoff rival away from home, but they just could not finish, and in the end it […]
The Los Angeles Chargers are hoping to put their past behind them when they take on the Las Vegas Raiders in their first game after the bye week. The Chargers are coming off of an embarrassing 35-6 loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars in their Week 11 matchup, but a new week awaits with the Raiders […]
In a surprise to some, the Cardinals added 28-year-old Bryan Torres to the 40 man roster on November 6th. This predated the 40-man deadline by a couple weeks, because unlike Cooper Hjerpe, Leonardo Bernal, and company, Torres had spent seven seasons in the minors, and thus would have qualified for free agency. They added him […]
As the Las Vegas Raiders will close Thanksgiving Weekend at AFC West foe, the Los Angeles Chargers Sunday at Sofi Stadium. Kickoff is set at 1:25 p.m. PT. Let’s take a quick look at the Chargers: Record: The Chargers had a bye in Week 12 after playing at Jacksonville in Week 11 in a stunning […]
The Buckeyes hosted the Rutgers Scarlet Knights on Saturday in the final tuneup for the 2025 iteration of The Game. Ohio State needed to get through Senior Day cleanly to set up the showdown with That Team Up North with a spot in the Big Ten title game on the line. Everything went pretty much […]
The 2025 Seattle Seahawks have been a very good team, seemingly standing on the precipice of breaking through to greatness. And yet, there are some clear flaws that could prove fatal later on this season if Seattle can’t get things corrected. Seattle’s inability to close out games at times, regardless of the opposition, reared its […]
This has been a season from hell. Michael Penix, Jr. is out for the season, Drake London was out for this game, and the playoffs are essentially an afterthought. But at least we’re not the New Orleans Saints. The Atlanta Falcons retake the lead in the all-time series, 57-56, rightfully pushing the Saints back to […]
Two teams fighting for playoff spots meet on Monday Night Football as the 7-4 San Francisco 49ers host the 6-5 Carolina Panthers. Both teams have had success in the NFC, going a combined 11-4 in the conference. Both teams have also excelled in close games, with a combined record of 9-2. Unfortunately for the road […]
For once, the Green Bay Packers played complementary football in all three phases on Sunday afternoon. The offense, defense, and special teams all got into the act, powering the Packers to a dominant 23-6 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. The defense was arguably the most impressive unit on Sunday, however. The team has now allowed […]
The Edmonton Oilers have tried to push back on talk that something is “deeply wrong” in their room, but one former player is not convinced everything is fine. After TSN’s Jeff O’Neill suggested the team’s flat performances looked like the product of internal friction, the Oilers answered with two of their most energized efforts of the season, first in an overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning and then in an emotional win over the Florida Panthers . Still, former Oiler Ryan Whitne...
The Jets lost in Week 12 to the Baltimore Ravens to fall to 2-9 on the 2025 season. The loss does come with some good news for the team. The Jets improved their positioning in the order for the 2026 NFL Draft. Entering the week in the fifth slot, the defeat in Baltimore combined with […]
The Cowboys sure know how to make the headlines. On Sunday, they dug themselves a 21-0 hole early before scoring 24 unanswered points to beat the Eagles, tying the franchise record for biggest comeback win. Early on, this game felt signed, sealed, and delivered for the Eagles, but these five plays were monumental in bringing […]
The Detroit Lions’ win was anything but satisfying, but it did end with undeniable relief. Detroit returned to its gritty wheelhouse and outlasted the New York Giants in a game where they trailed for 57 minutes and 28 seconds — the most they’ve trailed in a game in the Dan Campbell era (83 games, including […]
The 2025 regular season has been quite and interesting one for the Houston Texans: they kicked off the season by going 0-3, practically left for dead by much of the football viewing public, and now have since gone 6-2, most recently defeating the mighty Buffalo Bills in the final seconds of Thursday Night Football. Recuperated […]
Micah Parsons recorded his ninth and 10th sacks of the season against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, joining some elite company in the process. He and Reggie White are now the only players in NFL history to record 10 or more sacks in each of their first five NFL seasons. For his part, Parsons doesn’t […]
Sunday night, the Las Vegas Raiders fired offensive coordinator Chip Kelly. Here are some thoughts on the move: He deserved it: Let’s get this out of the way right away: Kelly was awful this season. His offense was out of sync and had no personality all season. He seemed stubborn and he and coach Pete […]
Another week comes in the NFL as the Houston Texans clawed their way back above .500 for the first time in 2025. Week 13 marks the first time they play the Indianapolis Colts all season and this one is likely for all the marbles. A Colts victory will likely close out the Texans’ chances of […]
The 49ers and Panthers are set for a Monday Night Football showdown with playoff implications on the line tonight at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara. Currently, the 49ers own the last playoff spot in the NFC, but the Panthers are just one game behind them. Can Carolina pull off the upset and catch San Francisco? Let’s take a look at some game lines, odds, and more for tonight’s game. Oct 19, 2025; East Rutherford, New Jersey, USA; Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (9)...
On a day when Chicago Bears rookies were seen early and often, no one impressed me more than Ozzy Trapilo. A second-round pick from the Bears’ 2025 NFL Draft class, Trapilo was thrust into the starting lineup at left tackle because Theo Benedet suffered an injury during the practice week that caused him to be unavailable for the team’s Week 12 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers. With Benedet out and Braxton Jones still on injured reserve, it left Trapilo as the top option to start as the...
The Miami Dolphins appeared to hit a home run in last year's draft, but one key player to their future has regressed in his second NFL season.
While the Las Vegas Raiders got thoroughly embarrassed by the Cleveland Browns, the good news is that it significantly helps the Raiders in the 2026 NFL draft. Not only does that break the tie between the Raiders and Browns, and means Cleveland will pick after Las Vegas if the two teams finish with the same […]
The Los Angeles Rams won their sixth straight game following a 34-7 demolition of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on “Sunday Night Football.” Los Angeles now sits alone atop the NFC standings due in large part to the win, and the Cowboys beating the Eagles in Dallas. So, um, thank you, Cowboys. Yuck, I feel icky […]
The Seattle Seahawks remain squarely in the mix for the No. 1 seed in the NFC, on the strength of top-5 units across the board; offense, defense, and special teams. There’s a fourth category that often gets overlooked, but has equally contributed to Seattle’s success in a unique way. That would be roster members number […]
