That game was NOT how you overcome the bad vibes of a losing streak. The Royals were one strike away from a win, from ending this misery. They could not make it happen despite having all the opportunities in the world. The Orioles did not reach third base until the ninth inning. They did not […]
Tari Eason has become an unheralded player. Such is life for “glue guys” in the NBA. They do things that don’t always show up on the stat sheet. They impact the game without always impacting the box score. Fans tend to overlook them at times. And front offices underestimate their value. This sums up Eason’s […]
The #13 Illinois Fighting Illini travel to unranked Northwestern for the next chapter in a pretty major non-rivalry.

Federico Chiesa’s first season at Liverpool didn’t go as hoped, with opportunities limited for the Italy international after he left Juventus looking to get his career back on track in the Premier League. Despite that, Chiesa decided last summer that he would stay and spend another season in England. So far in 2025-26, though, opportunities […]
Once again, here we are. I began last year’s end-of-season piece the same way under very similar circumstances – after a wild card loss in which the Pittsburgh Steelers were sent home in blowout fashion. Changes needed to come then – they didn’t. Instead, the Steelers took an “All In” approach for 2025. They gave […]

Immediately after the Cubs signed Alex Bregman to a five-year, $175M deal on Saturday night, the Nico Hoerner rumors resurfaced. Jeff Passan said it. Keith Law said it. Jon Morosi said it. Media outlets in New York started drumming up the Yankees’ interest. The Giants had been teased. And so on. Whether we like it or not (we do not), we can’t keep denying the existence of Nico Hoerner trade rumors. And unfortunately, today, they’re getting a little louder, with a more specific note from a...

Let’s get into it. 250ish words on each game below. Thursday, Jan. 8 UMBC 69, Maine 62 -TJ Biel is unbelievable. He’s a sure-fire All-Conference player. There isn’t a single other solid offensive option for the Black Bears, yet he simply willed the team into a competitive performance. He scored 27 of Maine’s 62 points, […]
There isn’t much to say about Juventus’ 5-0 win over Cremonese on Monday than what’s already been said.

Coming into this season, we knew that Ben Johnson was a superb offensive play-caller. And while we didn’t know if he could thrive as a head coach, it was easy to feel good about his chances when you consider how hot of a candidate he was around the league. But what we didn’t know is that Johnson is a master motivator with a penchant of manipulating situations and creating factors that could fuel players to play their best. Look no further than how he turned the Packers’ tough talk into bu...

Boxing politics raised Troy Williamson’s hopes and dashed them quite expertly.
