John Wilson says… ‘Doing a Sunderland’ — a ‘thing’ that a lot of people think exists, no longer is a ‘thing’ with this Sunderland side — that’s if it ever was. This is a new team, on a different level to probably any other team we’ve supported before. That being said, what still applies to […]

Liverpool under the lights at the Stadium of Light is one of the games that we dreamt about when making the trek to Fleetwood, Accrington, and Burton just a few short years ago. The champions may be off the boil this season in terms of title credentials, but it’s still the sort of game it’s […]

In a match-up missing two of the league’s best players, the Lakers fought valiantly against the Thunder before coming up short, falling 119-110. After trailing by nine at the break, the Lakers, uncharacteristically, used a strong third quarter to get back into the game. However, Alex Caruso and Jalen Williams, returning from a 10-game absence […]

The Portland Trail Blazers defeated the Philadelphia 76ers Monday night, 135-118. While the result and final score was impressive, perhaps the most exciting development for Blazers fans was seeing nearly a full 48 minutes of high-flying, fast-action basketball from the guys from Rip City. The Blazers punished every half-hearted rebound, lazy pass, and slow retreat […]

How many world-class players are in the Premier League? There are more than a handful of footballers who present valid claims for this prestigious honor.

Less than two minutes into the first quarter of the Minnesota Timberwolves second leg of their home back-to-back against the Atlanta Hawks, Donte DiVincenzo sank his first field goal – a wing three off of an assist from Jaden McDaniels. On most nights, a pretty routine start for the Wolves guard and an ordinary thing […]
