Desert Heat Shortens Matches at Easter Bowl, But All No. 1 Seeds in 12s and 14s Divisions Reach Quarterfinals; 16s and 18s Begin Play Tuesday; Las Vegas M25 Main Draw Features Six Teens

©Colette Lewis 2026--Indian Wells CA--The heat relented a bit today, with the temperature failing to reach 100 for the first time since the start of the Easter Bowl, but high 90s are not ideal playing conditions, so the decision has been made to continue using a match tiebreaker in lieu of a third set for the 12s and 14s quarterfinals and to begin the 16s and 18s tournament tomorrow with

Previewing the 2026 Schedules

A lot of the Big Ten teams still have games to play in the 2025 season, but here is an early look at the schedules for the Big Ten teams in 2026. (I was expecting to have the dates for each of the games by now, but I guess that will be a separate look.) […]

Marc Casadó embraces new role to fight for minutes at Barcelona

On This Day (18th Dec 2010): Welbeck Sends Sunderland Sixth

Steve Bruce was beginning to put his stamp on this Sunderland team around this time in 2010.

Sunlun’, You’re The One!

Derby day was just as terrifying and nerve-wracking as I remember. I last saw Sunderland play Newcastle in the flesh in October 2008, when Kieran Richardson’s thunderbastard freekick sealed all three points.

Sunderland’s AFCON Conundrum: Who Steps Up?

There are six Sunderland players leaving for the African Cup of Nations — including both key and fringe players — but who should replace whom? Left back: Trai Hume versus Dennis Cirkin?

Braves News: Draft options, Martin Maldonado, more

With the other needs generally filled (aside from perhaps some bullpen depth), the discussion within Braves Country has focused in on starting pitcher as the clear remaining need this offseason for the Braves. Some look at their solid (although injury-riddled) rotation depth and see no need, but the frequency of pitching injuries in the modern […]
