AP Top 25 poll discussion: After another week of upsets in women’s college basketball, the SEC still reigns supreme
Yes, Texas defeated UCLA and South Carolina on back-to-back days in November at the Players Era Championship.

Rams Film Review: Pass Rush shows up vs. Panthers
It’s no secret that the Los Angeles Rams defense is built around their pass rush. The overall ethos of the defense has been for the pass rush to affect the quarterback and therefore help the lack of talent outside at cornerback.

Matthew Stafford Injured His Finger in the Rams’ Playoff Win
Not that I expected it would stop him from playing, but Matthew Stafford’s finger injury still feels like a notable deal.

But there was a time (seasons even) when the Flyers could have a man advantage, make smart passes or plays, and eventually see the puck find its way in the net. It happened more than once a week, sometimes more than once a game. Since the start of the 2023-24 season, Philadelphia have scored two or more power play goals in one game on 13 occasions...
