GDB 4.0: Oilers Winning With Defence (5:30 PM MT, SN360)

Just as many expected. The Edmonton Oilers are winning early on this season on the strength of good defensive play and sound goaltending.

Week 7 Big Ten Power Poll: Crazy Real Estate

This week’s Power Poll topic came about in honor of what has effectively become James Franklin Week here at OTE. In our Slack, I mentioned that if I were James Franklin, I’d take my $50 million and flit off to a castle in Italy, never to be seen or heard from again. This lack of […]

Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Starting XI vs Aston Villa

During the FIFA window, Muhammad Kudus put on a display for Ghana. He can really ball, and we all saw his elite skill set during the October internationals. Kudus is certainly in the “cannot be dropped” from the first team category right now. Picking him up from West Ham United this summer was a very […] The post Tottenham Hotspur Predicted Starting XI vs Aston Villa appeared first on The Sports Bank .

Unadulterated Signs of Impending Authoritarianism, or A Day at the Movies

Many moons ago, I lived overseas underneath a military dictatorship.  Rights were repressed and freedom of speech was halted.  The media was controlled and many of the nation’s people lived in fear, remembering all too keenly the coup that had Continue reading Unadulterated Signs of Impending Authoritarianism, or A Day at the Movies →

More On Last Night’s Game

That was far more pleasant than the first couple of games of this series. The story of the first two games was that, though the Jays didn’t strikeout much, they weren’t hitting the ball hard. Yesterday there were a lot of hard hit balls by the Jays: 14 balls hit at over 100 mph. It […]

Off-Season Thought Experiment: Should the Houston Astros consider a reunion with Kyle Tucker? 

To say that the Astros’ 2025 outfield situation was chaotic would be an understatement. Between injury, position switching, matchup issues and outright ineffectiveness, the Astros used the following players in the outfield: Jose Altuve, Cam Smith, Chas McCormick, Jake Meyers, Mauricio Dubon, Yordan Alvarez, Cooper Hummel, Jesus Sanchez, Taylor Trammell, Zach Dezenzo, Zach Cole, Kennedy […]

Three things we learned from USMNT’s October window

The United States Men’s National Team have completed their October window, drawing 1-1 against Ecuador on October 10th and beating Australia 2-1 on Tuesday night.

Rockets 2025-2026 NBA player previews: Fred VanVleet

Poor Fred VanVleet. He was one of the key catalysts of the culture change for the Houston Rockets, alongside head coach Ime Udoka and the traded away Dillon Brooks.

Comments from the Other Side - Raptors 10/15/25

Good win to close out the preseason.  Next time they take the court, it will be for real against the 76ers.  Raptors fans are funny.  They trashed their own team way more than they did the Celtics.  Poor Scottie Barnes.  He really got a lot of hate from the fans.  And,  they sent a lot of love toward the Celtics, especially Pritchard and White.  I do think the Celtics are going to be fun to watch this season.  My favorites are in bold.  What ar...

With just under a week until the Bucks tip off their 2025–26 campaign in Milwaukee and their preseason concluded, the front office has begun the process of paring down their standard roster to 15 players (note that two-way players, like the recently-signed Alex Antetokounmpo, aren’t included in this).

An updated timeline of the Royals new stadium saga

Long discussed as a fun “what if” scenario in bars and around water coolers throughout the Kansas City metro area, the idea of a Kansas City Royals downtown stadium is slowly becoming a reality.
