A place for many sports fans to go when the allure of looking forward in time overtakes the current happenings is to turn one’s focus to the upcoming stars. And with Liverpool’s season such as it is, well, I guess this is really one of the few things we’ve got. So, Liverpool’s U21s had a […]

Another day, another team winning promotion in our own back yard. Another dollop of salt rubbed into wounds that were already raw after a week of every scab being picked off one by one. It’s not supposed to be like this, is it? And yet here we are. All week the rumour mill churned out […]
The San Antonio Spurs and Portland Trailblazers took very different paths on their way back to the playoffs after prolonged droughts. San Antonio far exceeded expectations, a 62-20 season that no one saw coming, built on the talents of a young core that appears to have skipped a step or two in just Victor Wembanyama’s […]
Longest Hmm Oof

Across the regular season, the crowd at Lakers games does not rank among the best in the league. The lion’s share of the blame falls on ownership for pricing out the common, diehard fans and replacing them with fans who too often view the game as a status symbol rather than a chance to root […]
There was a lot of excitement in Blacksburg on Saturday for Virginia Tech’s annual spring football game. New head coach James Franklin wanted Hokie fans to pack out Lane Stadium for the intra-squad game. While it wasn’t a “sellout,” well, because it was free, not every seat was filled. Still, it was a large crowd […]
Sounders swamp St. Louis in 4-1 home win.
The score of this one might suggest that the Rockets weren’t in fact spanked, by the Lakers. They were. This was a wire to wire win for LA, and at no point did it seem like the Rockets were going to push past LA, take a lead, and keep it. The Lakers held the Rockets […]
According to Fred Katz, the Cleveland Cavaliers will discuss moving Donovan Mitchell if they aren’t able to get an extension done this summer.

Satou Sabally is officially a member of the New York Liberty. On Friday morning, the franchise introduced their newest star across the street from Barclays Center at Brooklyn Basketball Training Center, where she hosted a clinic for some lucky youth that got to spend Friday hooping with a 3-time All-Star instead of going to school… […]
Chelsea succumbed to the evil cosmic forces of football once again on Saturday night, losing our fourth Premier League game in a row, all without managing to score a single stinking goal. We did hit the woodwork three times, so we’ve got that going for us, but beyond that, it was yet another toothless, uninspiring […]
You never know what you’re going to see when you go to a ballgame, both good and bad. Sometimes both in the same night. One of the greatest individual pitching performances in program history ended up being for naught in Arizona’s 11-1, 8-inning loss to Kansas State on Saturday night at Hi Corbett Field. Smith […]
Another Saturday game, another Zac Gallen start, another swirling bit of anxiety in the gullet as we waited to see which Zac we were going to get today. I remember the heyday of Gallen’s good times, when he really was the unquestioned ace of the rotation, rather than simply being the guy who happens to […]
After a dominating performance in Toluca, Mexico has qualified for the Concacaf W Championship taking place in November.

It was a rainy […]

The deck was stacked against the Lakers heading into the playoffs, but what awaited them was a tower of cards ready to topple over in the Rockets. Kevin Durant being a surprise scratch pregame tilted the tower to the brink of falling and the purple and gold made it a mission to finish the job […]
Chivas demolished a terribly weak Puebla in route to a 5-0 victory. Chivas maintained their first place in the standings after totally dominating a very weak Puebla, who showed some attacks but were clearly the inferior side. Chivas bounced back after their humbling loss against Tigres in Monterrey on Saturday but will need to do […]
The Braves continue to just cruise this season, in a refreshing departure from last season. Chris Sale had a really nice outing against the Phillies’ lineup on Saturday, backed up by Dylan Lee and Robert Suarez, while the offense got enough done to win the game. That makes for the sixth series win this season, […]
The Philadelphia Flyers lead their first round series against the hated Pittsburgh Penguins 1-0 because of a significant 3-2 win in Game 1. It was just about all you could hope for but the prize of it all — the reason that we can sit back and think about how the Flyers have won the opening game of this series is because of a team-wide commitment to squeezing the life out of everyone wearing black and gold. Coming into this series, this was one of the key advantages that the Flyers had ove...
