Marquette In The 2026 NBA Playoffs: Play-In Edition

Who’s ready for NBA Playoff Basketball?? Well, if not, you’ve got a little bit of time left, because the next few days are THE PLAY-IN TOURNAMENT, which is somehow not the Playoffs, but is also not the regular season, and also not the playoffs, at least in terms of tracking stats. IN ANY CASE, that […]

Arizona baseball beats ASU in 11 innings for 4th win in last 5

PHOENIX—The chances of Arizona making it to the NCAA Tournament for a sixth straight season are slim, but they’re not zero. And if that longshot happens, games like Monday will be the reason why. The Wildcats knocked off No. 20 ASU 5-3 in 11 innings at Phoenix Municipal Stadium for their fourth win in the […]

Striker. Inspiration. Derby Day Hero — That’s Brian Brobbey!

Yes, ‘Sliding doors moments’. Yes, Chelsea’s recall of Marc Guiu after a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it loan spell at the Stadium of Light. Yes, a move that opened up a window of opportunity for Sunderland to sign a striker whose numbers for Ajax were more than impressive before an unthinkably traumatic series of off-field events derailed his career […]

Two Great Sunderland Sides…But Which Is Best?

Joseph Tulip says… Comparisons between two sides a quarter of a century apart are difficult because the game has changed in that time. Peter Reid’s team, during two second tier seasons ahead of the 1999 promotion, was known for playing attractive, attacking football. You could say it was possession-based in an era when most sides […]

On This Day (14 April 1982): Sunderland Build On Their Hot Streak

Sunderland played eight times during their April 1982 programme and whilst results at either end of the month were alarming, what happened in between was a lot more positive. A poor showing against Middlesbrough on April 3 left Sunderland bottom of Division One and seemingly in dire straits, but in the days that followed, a […]

Justin Wrobleski’s career best performance in win over Mets

As two starting pitchers delivered starts on the opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to efficiency, Justin Wrobleski and the Dodgers got the better of David Peterson and the Mets in a 4-0 win.

2026 WNBA Draft: Connecticut Sun acquire TCU G Taylor Bigby, the No. 37 overall pick, from Portland Fire

Bigby, who was then traded to the Connecticut Sun in a deal involving Serah Williams, averaged a career-high […]

9-7 – Rangers serve up a double Burger with Eovaldi cheddar in 8-1 victory over A’s

The Texas Rangers scored eight runs while the Northern California Athletics scored one run. Maybe the most surprising thing about tonight’s game, especially as it was unfolding early, was that A’s starter Luis Severino ended up pitching six innings. Or maybe it was that the A’s eventually scored at all. In the game’s first frame, […]

Fade to Black: Sabres 5, Blackhawks 1

The Chicago Blackhawks turned in another sloppy, turnover-filled mess on Monday night, falling 5-1 to the Buffalo Sabres in their second-to-last game of the season. At least it’s almost over. The Blackhawks opened the scoring just over four minutes into the game. Ilya Mikheyev intercepted a pass from Rasmus Dahlin, skated the puck out before passing it ahead to Ryan Greene, and Greene flipped it upstairs for a shorthanded goal. GOAL: Ryan Greene with a shorthanded goal to open t...
