The Cleveland Cavaliers did enough to get past a plucky Toronto Raptors team that put up a much better fight than we thought going into the series. Now, they have their hands full against a 60-win Detroit Pistons team. The Pistons didn’t look like the juggernaut they were in the regular season in the first […]
The Miami Dolphins have had a pretty busy offseason as the team had to find a new general manager and head coach after the season ended. Jon-Eric Sullivan and Jeff Hafley then had to retool the roster as the team was short on cash to spend and then spent thirteen picks in the NFL Draft. […]
Never change a winning lineup: it’s a classic old adage in football. We haven’t had much chance to put that into practice of late, but we did win an important game last weekend, against Leeds United in the FA Cup semifinal, so now we have something to possibly not change. And sure enough, for the […]
After a convincing 3-1 defeat of the Portland Trail Blazers in round one, the San Antonio Spurs will face a familiar foe in the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Wolves are red hot, coming off a 3-2 victory over the Denver Nuggets, despite missing several key rotation players. The series is set to be a defensive, physical […]
Your daily dose of Everton news and rumours Check out our match preview of today’s match against Manchester City. [RBM] Do the Blues have a chance against Guardiola? Here’s how to stop City. [RBM] “Beto has had to go through the protocol for concussion, which was correct, so he’s gone through that period and he’s been training. […]
Champions Hmm Offered
Welcome to Haway The Podcast, and today we delve into Don Revie’s time at Sunderland – with the aim of finding out just how close he was to becoming Sunderland manager! In today’s show, Martin and Kelvin look at: We’ll be back next week with Part 2 of the Don Revie and Sunderland story, but […]
Everton’s return to action, following an extended break for internationals and domestic cup football, has seen the club lose momentum in the slow-paced chase for Europe. An unsatisfactory draw, snatched late on against Brentford has been followed by defeat in the inaugural Merseyside derby at Hill Dickinson Stadium and then, last weekend against struggling West […]
Alex Newhook notched the go-ahead goal with 8:53 remaining in the third period, and the Montreal Canadiens eliminated the Tampa Bay Lightning with a 2-1 victory in Game 7 at Benchmark International Arena. Captain Nick Suzuki also scored for the upstart Canadiens, and goaltender Jakub Dobes stopped 28 shots. Dominic James lit the lamp for the Lightning, and Andrei Vasilevskiy made seven saves. Montreal will face the Buffalo Sabres starting on Wednesday. Cale Makar scored two goals in the ...
However, they pick up extra point in shootout
Over the last month Juventus have, for once, had the favor of the football gods. The teams they’ve been competing with for Serie A’s final Champions League spot have hemorrhaged points in recent weeks, allowing a Juventus team that a month ago looked like they were all but beaten to head into the final four […]
We’ve done these ‘On This Day’ for around five or six years now, and there are just days where there is an obvious pick to write about, but all of us who contribute to these pieces try to pick out the more obscure game/event from the day, rather than the obvious one if we can. […]
Strange feeling, this. For the last time we were able to celebrate Sunderland guaranteeing another season of Premier League football as a newly-promoted club, you’d have to go way back to the 2007/2008 campaign as Roy Keane and Niall Quinn’s magic carpet ride climbed to an even higher altitude (or so it seemed at the […]
Saturday’s 1-1 draw at Wolves may not have been ‘first on Match of the Day’ material, but it did ensure we’d be kicking off in August as a Premier League club. In the summer, survival was the main aim, with anything more being a bonus. With 35 games played, we haven’t been lower than 13th […]
Dear Roker Report, Lads, we need you. Last few times we’ve needed a push you’ve driven it. Three huge games, Europe dream faint but alive. Need a fans push/shout/rally for our last three games. Let’s have the SoL bouncing like Coventry, like the Visitors and like so many others for the last two home games. […]
Sunderland’s mathematical safety in the Premier League was confirmed with the point at Wolves on Saturday afternoon, yet the potential we’ve seen from what this team can achieve when they put their minds to it has had me lusting for even more recently — and that’s left me in a rather strange position as I […]
A week after sweeping the LA Kings, the Colorado Avalanche were back in action hosting the Minnesota Wild in a pivotal second round opening matchup. And how this game unfolded didn’t disappoint those high expectations with 14 different goal scorers including five defenseman to arrive at the 9-6 win for the Avalanche. The Game Minnesota […]
It’s now been roughly three hours since the final horn of the 2025-26 Tampa Bay Lightning season sounded. To this very moment, we’re not exactly sure how the Lightning lost this game. Yes, we grasp the concept that they scored fewer goals than the Canadiens. Still, it was such a well-played game, especially defensively, that we’re still kind of waiting for them to somehow find the equalizer. The Lightning limited the Montreal Canadiens to nine shots on goal. There was a stretch of roughly...
The San Diego Padres have officially announced the ownership transfer of the team to José E. Feliciano and his wife, Kwanza Jones. The couple will own approximately 40% of the team and Feliciano will be the controlling partner in the eyes of MLB. They will be joined by a group of owners that will continue […]
Rutgers women’s Lacrosse is officially back in the big dance, as they have earned an at-large bid in the NCAA tournament, punching their ticket to compete at the national tournament down in Maryland for the first time since 20222. The Scarlet Knights will open postseason play against in-state rival Princeton on Friday, May 8, at 2 […]
The Virginia Cavaliers defeated Virginia Tech on the gridiron in November. It was only UVa’s third football win this century over the Hokies. On Sunday, the Hokies exacted some revenge, flipping the commitment of North Cross (Roanoke, Va.) wide receiver Demarcus Brown to Tech. A 6-foot-3.5, 180-pound playmaker, Brown initially committed to Virginia back on […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers are moving on, courtesy of a certain Fro. Let’s check on tonight’s winners and losers. WINNER – Jarrett **c**** Allen I’m not sure if there was a more encouraging way for the Cavs to exorcise some demons and advance to the second round than Jarrett Allen going full-on beast mode in a […]
The final game of the opening round of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs was concluded tonight as the Montreal Canadiens held on for a 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning, eliminating the Lightning as the eighth and final team gone from the first round. Of course, that means we'll have exit interviews on The Hockey Show as five more people join Ethan (Ottawa), Harv (Los Angeles), and Billy (Pittsburgh) back on the mainland after spending two weeks or less on Survivor: NHL Playoffs island! The rem...
The Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Raptors 4-3 to advance to the second round of the NBA Playoffs. All grades are based on our usual expectations for each player. Donovan Mitchell 22 points, 1 assist, 3 rebounds, 2 turnovers This wasn’t a great game from Mitchell, per se. We’ve seen him play much better than this. […]
Barcelona signed Hamza Abdelkarim from Saudi Pro League side Al-Ahly on loan in the January transfer window amid plenty of hype. The young Egyptian was described as being “similar to Erling Haaland” and the teenager admitted he was hoping to break into the first team. Abdelkarim had to wait to make his debut due to […]
If you had told me about six weeks ago how disappointed I would be at the Sox losing a 4-3 nailbiter and failing to complete a series sweep against one of the National League’s better teams, I probably would’ve told you that it was a good thing. And I would be correct! While today’s tight […]
