Narratives abound in October. Often, these are baseballisms handed down from announcer to announcer, such as “players need to bunt more” and “small ball wins playoff games”, and their accuracy can waver depending on how nostalgic the source is feeling.

On Wednesday, the New York Knicks announced that guard Malcolm Brogdon retired. This came soon after Shams Charania of ESPN reported the same. The news is a bit surprising because Brogdon only played nine NBA seasons. And he signed with New York after playing for the Washington Wizards in 2024-25 where he averaged 12.7 points […]

Few rivalries in college football capture the pageantry, pride, and pure emotion quite like Notre Dame vs. USC. Every meeting between these two storied programs feels like a chapter in an epic novel—written in gold helmets and cardinal jerseys, under bright lights and brighter expectations.
