When the Yankees improved to 8-2 on the season with their comeback, series-opening win against the A’s last Tuesday, all was well in the world. There were problems with a shaky bullpen and an unproductive bottom of the order, but the team was winning, and that’s all that matters. But the thing is, over the […]

Coming into the game late in the first, Anton Forsberg put on a goaltending clinic, helping the Los Angeles Kings stifle the Rangers.
Once again, the Edmonton Oilers have failed to win three consecutive games. On Tuesday evening, the Oilers dropped a 2-1 decision to the New Jersey Devils after sleepwalking through the first two periods. Let’s take a look at what happened in this one. For the first 25 minutes of the game, the Oilers and Devils…
On the second half of a back-to-back, the New Jersey Devils went into Edmonton and came away with a 2-1 victory. Arseny Gritsyuk and Cody Glass were the goal-scorers, while Jake Allen was terrific in net with 22 saves on 23 shots. It was a pretty low-event game overall, which is impressive considering the best […]
The North East has always been a region that reveres its footballers not only for their talent, but for their graft, their character and their connection to the community. It’s a place where supporters value honesty as much as flair; where determination is celebrated as loudly as a goal, and where players who give everything […]
Having the ability to bounce back quickly from defeats is a huge component of a good football team. Sunderland have lost just five out of 22 matches this season, and after every one, we’ve done exactly that. Brentford was a heavy defeat by anyone’s standards, but there were plenty of caveats, with the main one […]
Want to have your say on all things Sunderland? Drop us a line and we’ll publish your views! [email protected] Dear Roker Report, Now that we’ve virtually secured a second season in the Premier League, can we please take the handbrake off during the first half — especially at home? On Saturday, we tended to pass […]
We’re all familiar with the club’s famous motto, ‘Til The End. It promotes the fighting spirit that the team has shown over the last couple of seasons and that almost took on a life of its own as we continued to score late goals and achieve late victories that gave us memories we’ll never forget. […]
Sunderland came into this game in sixteenth position in the league and in need of points against Dave Sexton’s evolving Red Devils. United had been knocked out of the FA Cup by Brian Clough’s Nottingham Forest the previous Saturday and arrived looking to make a quick recovery. Sunderland had sought some relief in the cup […]
This might be the best Rockets win of the season. It’s certainly my favorite win. There’s been a lot of negativity around here (looks at self) regarding aspects of this year’s Rockets team, a good bit of it deserved. This is all positivity, though. That’s because this victory carried two great signs that we can […]
The San Antonio Spurs left Toyota Center Tuesday night with a familiar and frustrating feeling, undone once again by a late-game collapse in a 111–106 loss to the Houston Rockets that spoiled an otherwise encouraging road performance. For much of the evening, the Spurs were the sharper, more composed team. They opened the game with […]
The Texas back-to-back was fun, but in both matchups, a shorthanded Minnesota Timberwolves team was edged in the last few minutes of each game. Minnesota looked to get back on track in a slightly later than usual 8 PM CT tipoff against the Utah Jazz in the place that Rudy Gobert, Mike Conley, Joe Ingles, […]
The Lakers surged in the second half on the shoulders of Luka Dončić and Marcus Smart to take the 115-107 win over the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night. It was an offensive showdown early. Denver was a perfect 5-5 from the field, while Los Angeles was shooting at 80%. Luka couldn’t miss and was in […]
Offense? Great. Defense? Great. Everything was on point and clicking for Nevada tonight against one of the conference’s rougher teams in San Jose State, leading to an 87-54 win over the Spartans at Lawlor. The threes were flying for the Pack and the defense held the team tight. All around, not much to complain about […]
The Chicago Bulls edged their way back towards a .500 record tonight with a resounding 138-110 victory against the visiting LA Clippers. Ultimately, a pace-and-space Chicago squad missing Josh Giddey throttled a halfcourt-heavy, heliocentric Clippers club without Kawhi Leonard. The Bulls rained down a season-high tally of triples and enjoyed a pass-happy approach to improve to a thoroughly mediocre 21-22 record on the year. Coby White , even playing on a minutes restriction, looked l...
Another injury has hit the Lakers’ roster with Deandre Ayton hurting his left eye in the middle of LA’s road game against Denver. Ayton suffered the injury during the first half and did not return at the start of the third quarter. Initially, the Lakers listed him as questionable to return, but he was officially […]
San Jose State’s long, winding road for consistency continued Tuesday night in Reno, as Nevada (14-5, 6-2 MW) delivered an emphatic 87–54 win over the Spartans inside Lawlor Events Center, a venue that has rarely been forgiving to visiting teams and proved no different this time. The Spartans (6-13, 10-7 MW) came in short-handed once […]
The Mets, continuing their roster overhaul after their disastrous 2025, agreed to a trade with the White Sox for center fielder Luis Robert Jr on Tuesday night. The Mets are sending two young players to the South Side of Chicago in return, one we have seen a lot of in Luisangel Acuña, and one that […]
If there's one thing that I enjoy more than anything when doing radio, it's participating at live events. Live radio has a certain unpredictability to it that is unlike anything else except for live television, and it's that unpredictability that makes covering events a bit of a thrill. It is with great honour that UMFM has been invited to cover the 2026 Female World Sport School Challenge once again, and we are proud to working with the great people at Balmoral Hall School to bring these broa...
The Kansas State Wildcats got 71 points from its starting guards to beat Utah 81-78 Tuesday night in Bramlage Coliseum. Without the services of Abdi Bashir Jr. and Khamari McGriff, who both missed the game with injuries, the Wildcats (10-9, 1-5 Big 12) had to rely on P.J. Haggerty, David Castillo, and Nate Johnson to […]
James Franklin has almost completely filled every position on his first Virginia Tech coaching staff. The one remaining full-time position was the safeties coach. The Hokies recently hired Anthony Midget as the cornerbacks coach. The hiring was weeks in the making, but Midget, who was an assistant for the Pittsburgh Steelers, was still coaching up […]
CJ Cox’s last second three hit the front of the rim, and bounced harmlessly away as Purdue falls for the first time in the Big Ten, 69-67 to the UCLA Bruins. Behind a 23 point Donovan Dent performance, the Bruins were able to knock off the #4 Purdue Boilermakers. It is just Purdue’s second loss […]
