2025 SnakePit Awards: Unsung Hero nominations

And then there were five, a veritable “Who’s he?” of this year’s Diamondbacks – both on and off the field. Here’s a little about each of them, and a poll [browser and ad-blocker depending, perhaps!] Results will be tallied at some point on Friday, with the result announced on Saturday for those too lazy to […]

Earlier this month I sat down with fellow Rock M volleyball enthusiasts Colin Simmons and Matthew Gustafson along with KCOU Service to Seven host Jeffrey Calhoun to discuss the 2025 Mizzou volleyball season.

Giants sign RHP Tyler Mahle to 1-year deal

Bruce Bochy’s job with the team pays off immediately. Shayna Rubin has posted news that the San Francisco Giants “are close” to signing starter Tyler Mahle to a 1-year deal. [Update: Mark Feinsand confirms it’s a done deal.] When healthy, the righty was Bochy’s second-best starter in 2025 when they were both Rangers. Unfortunately, Mahle […]

The Las Vegas Bowl Preview: Let’s Get This Over With

Well, it’s safe to say that this game isn’t the headline news for either team or fanbase right now, as both programs are facing big changes that are dominating attention and storylines. For Nebraska, that’s probably just as well, because honestly, I don’t see this one going particularly well for the Huskers. The Bigger Storylines […]

Macklin Celebrini named to Team Canada Olympic roster

After months and months of speculation, only made stronger by exceptional play by the 19-year-old, Team Canada’s brain trust made it official this morning by naming young Sharks’ center Macklin Celebrini to the Olympic roster. Celebrini will join the best of the best on the world stage in Milan in February, and he could very well play a top-six role for Team Canada; he’s had that good a season with the Sharks. For Team Canada General Manager Doug Armstrong, picking Celebrini was a process that...

Sinners & Saints: 2025

While Daniele De Rossi’s recent return to the Stadio Olimpico sparked memories of his legendary playing career—the thunderous goals, bone-jarring tackles, and primeval celebrations—recency bias forced many of us to remember this ignominious exit as Roma’s manager in the fall of 2024. Beginning that season with three points from four matches wasn’t ideal. Still, things […]

Arsenal Team News at Bournemouth: Declan Rice, Riccardo Calafiori

Arsenal have two new injury concerns to contend with as 2025 turns to 2026. Both midfielder Declan Rice and defender Riccardo Calafiori are basically 50/50 propositions for the first match of ’26, a trip to AFC Bournemouth. Gunners boss Mikel Arteta spoke on both Rice (knee inflammation) and Calafiori (unspecified knock) yesterday. Arsenal FC at […] The post Arsenal Team News at Bournemouth: Declan Rice, Riccardo Calafiori appeared first on The Sports Bank .

Game Preview: Knicks at Spurs, December 31, 2025

2025 has been a hectic year for the Knicks. It started in January with the rapid decline of what looked like one of the best starting lineups in the league. And as the team stumbled through much of February and March, it looked like one with little hope. But a memorable playoff run that included […]

Ruben Amorim Isn’t Helping Himself

Patrick Dorgu’s first-half performance and goal were the major takeaways from last week’s game against Newcastle. It wasn’t a major turning point in the season, but we saw a player who has struggled to make a significant impact in the final third look like a useful contributor in attack for once.  This had little to […]

2025 Diamondbacks Player Reviews: #9 Blaze Alexander

Background Blaze Alexander was drafted by the Diamondbacks in the 2018 draft with the 339th overall pick, out of IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. Blaze’s biggest setback in his minor league career was the pandemic, but he’d work his way up through the Diamondbacks farm system and reach AAA by 2022. He’d then spend the […]

Marquette Women’s Basketball Preview: at Xavier

The missed layups were the problem on Monday night against St. John’s, but there’s an argument to be made that Marquette women’s basketball had a lot bigger problems than that against the Red Storm. As I was starting to put together this preview, I couldn’t help but notice that the game against the Red Storm […]
