I'm not sure what happened to the Celtics at halftime but they went from hitting every shot to not being able to hit anything. It was just bizarre. And it wasn't just one player going cold but every single player couldn't hit anything. They they stopped defending and fell apart. Hopefully it was a one time thing and they will be back to normal the next game. There sure is a lot of Doc hate in Milwaukee. I have to say I've never been a fan of his, even ...
Aston Villa vs Manchester United Prediction: 5 Brutal Truths Why This Boxing Day Clash Could Destroy Your Betting
Álex Rodríguez is on the Hall of Fame ballot for the fifth time. Last year, he was on 37.1% of the ballots (his high mark in the first four times). He’s been in the mid-30s each time. He doesn’t seem to be gaining much traction. By the numbers, he is easily a Hall of Famer. […]
1925 The first championship ever secured on the grounds of Comiskey Park came with a 13-0 Chicago Cardinals win over the Hammond Pros. It was sweet revenge for the Cardinals, who had given Hammond its only win of 1925 with a season-opening upset in Indiana, 10-6. But this “title” was not without controversy. Six days […]
Matthew Stafford is 5 touchdowns shy of 40, which would be his third career season with at least 40 touchdowns. Only two other quarterbacks in history have done that: Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers. Peyton Manning, Dan Marino, and Drew Brees didn’t do that. They only had two such seasons each. Patrick Mahomes hasn’t done […]
Because most of it came in the heat of a playoff race, when the focus is necessarily less about individual player achievement or development, and more about where the Cubs are in the standings, I think I probably didn’t praise Moises Ballesteros enough down the stretch. The sample was small in 2025 in the big leagues for Ballesteros, but that’s because the playing time was sporadic. And that, in turn, is part of what makes his ultimate success so impressive. It’s hard enough to be a 21-ye...
A quick look at the 94-62 scoreline for No. 21 Ohio State women’s basketball team’s win over Northern Kentucky, and it looks about right. A 32-point victory for a power conference over a midmajor. Watch the game itself, and it was anything but comfortable. The Buckeyes had to claw themselves out of a hole of […]
Picking the subjects of this week’s poll questions was a no-brainer. A defensive co-coordinator and an offensive line coach were let go, and their replacements were named fairly quickly. The questions? What are our initial impressions of the new hires? Rhule appeared to stay on the path of going outside and not hiring from his […]
With quarterback desperation fueling aggressive trade movement and a deep defensive class reshaping the board. In this NFL mock draft , the Cardinals make a franchise-altering swing, several contenders reload premium positions, and a handful of rookies project as instant starters. With the 2026 landscape shifting fast, here’s how Round 1 could unfold. 2026 NFL Mock Draft 1. TRADE — Arizona Cardinals (via NYG): QB Fernando Mendoza – Indiana The Cardinals are going to move on from...
Dan Quinn spoke briefly to reporters after Friday’s practice. He named this week’s team captains and Noah Brown got the nod on offense in his second game back from IR. Jordan Magee has been getting time on defense and he was named a captain on defense. Jaylin Lane gets the first team captain nod of […]
No. 1 Indiana football quarterback Fernando Mendoza was named a finalist for the Heisman Trophy on Monday and is set to attend the award ceremony on Saturday night in New York City. He’ll be joined by fellow finalists in Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia, Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love and Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin. […]
NFL Best Bets The big news this week is that Philip Rivers is making a comeback with the Colts after almost five years away from the game. I know a lot of us are hoping he gets the start against the Seahawks this week because that would be wildly entertaining. But the angle not getting […]
Atlético Madrid coach Diego Simeone spoke ahead of Saturday’s LaLiga clash with Valencia, which comes after one of the team’s best performances this season against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League. When asked about how he works with his players to build trust amid a packed fixture list, Simeone opined “I think coaches always think […]
The Kansas City Chiefs’ much-maligned offensive performance in Sunday’s 20-10 loss to the Houston Texans might have been even worse if not for rookie tackle Esa Pole. Pole — an undrafted free agent out of Washington State — stepped in at left tackle after Wanya Morris suffered what is believed to be a season-ending knee […]
Not a surprise, after the Jays came within a couple of inches of winning the World Series, but the Jays (or I guess Rogers signed) signed Mark Shapiro for five more years, which would have him in the job for 15 years. Mark has overseen improvements to Rogers Centre and the Jays’ Spring Training facilities. […]
The Las Vegas Raiders are preparing to play their one cold-weather game this season, Sunday at the Philadelphia Eagles. It should be below 30 degrees, so we thought we’d use this week’s Tuesday Community Question topic to ask if fans enjoy attending cold-weather games. Here are some of your responses: Sess If you don’t drink, […]
The two biggest power bats in free agency are off the board. So where do Craig Breslow and the Red Sox go next given that they entered the offseson intent on landing a bat? If this report is to believed, they have opened up trade talks with the Cardinals for Willson “Don’t Forget Second L” […]
As you can tell by the type of content we put out on Fear the Wall, we tend not to look too much into the quotes that players give to the media, but something that Bundesliga.com picked up from Nico Schlotterbeck actually seems quite interesting to me: “We could have moved onto 13 points today. […]
Updated 12/30/25 with scores to date. There is more to college football than just the playoff. I’m plenty guilty of focusing on games with big brands and teams with numbers 1-25 ahead of their names. Those heavyweights draw plenty of eyeballs for a reason as they can provide some of the best football in the […]
In professional sports, it is often difficult to know who deserves credit and blame. In football, the head coach and quarterback get the majority of both with coordinators and other star players earning the remaining amount. For losing teams, like the Cleveland Browns have been for far too long, it is often assumed by fans […]

This week, the Kansas City Royals signed outfielder Lane Thomas to a one-year, $5.25 million contract. Thomas joins the Royals after spending the last year and a half with the Cleveland Guardians. The Royals are hoping the right-handed hitting outfielder who hit 28 home runs in a season as recently as 2023, can bounce back […]
Indiana men’s basketball (8-2, 1-1 Big Ten) is set to take on Kentucky (6-4, 0-0 SEC) in a renewal of the annual rivalry series on Saturday evening at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky. The Hoosiers are coming off of a dominant 113-72 win over Penn State that saw Lamar Wilkerson catch fire from deep en […]
Brian Sorensen has spoken about the pressure of Goodison Park in his press conference, and insists he will take the blame for Everton Women’s losses. The Blues pulled off the WSL’s biggest upset so far this season when they ended Chelsea’s 585-day unbeaten streak in the league with a performance built on guts, togetherness and […]
Amid the busy news day in Alberta’s provincial capital, the Edmonton Oilers announced that the team has recalled defenceman Riley Stillman from their American Hockey League affiliate, the Bakersfield Condors.
