Jimmie Johnson found himself at the center of a lighthearted social media moment during the 24 Hours of Le Mans weekend, prompting a hilarious reaction from Dale Earnhardt Jr.
NBA All-Star Saturday, 2026 is in the books. Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers won the three-point shooting contest. The shooting stars competition was claimed by Jalen Brunson and the representatives of the New York Knicks. Keshad Johnson of the Miami Heat took the slam dunk contest. Here’s a summary of how the latter […]
The San Diego Padres got off to a good start with their first week of Spring Training for the 2026 season. From all reports, all the pitchers and catchers reported on time and healthy with multiple position players reporting early or on time and with no injuries noted. While the players were meeting one another […]
If the season ended today, UConn women’s basketball would be the top overall seed in the 2026 NCAA Tournament. On Saturday, the selection committee revealed its top 16 teams for the first time and put the Huskies atop their list. At 27-0, UConn is the last undefeated team left in the country. The defending national […]
Happy Valentine’s Day. I’d LOVE to see a Gopher win.
For a fleeting stretch inside Provident Credit Union Event Center, San Jose State (6-19, 1-13 MW) looked ready to give its home crowd something lasting. The Spartans found rhythm, shared the ball, and briefly seized control against a well-disciplined Grand Canyon squad (16-9, 9-5 MW). But as has too often been the case in a […]
Alabama is back home tonight looking to continue the recent momentum the team has built as the South Carolina Gamecocks come to town. Lamont Paris’ group is the worst in the SEC, but that doesn’t mean the Tide can relax and take a night off. This ain’t the SEC of a decade ago. Still, Alabama […]
A new dunk contest champion was crowned on Saturday night, and for the fourth time in NBA History, it was a Miami Heat player. Heat second-year forward Keshad Johnson took home the award, besting Spurs rookie Carter Bryant in the final round. Johnson’s final round score (97.3) bested Bryant’s (93.0), even though Bryant recorded a […] The post Heat’s Keshad Johnson wins 2026 NBA Dunk Contest appeared first on Hot Hot Hoops - Miami HEAT NBA Blog .
The Dig is back with a recap of the first half of the season including chatter around the NBA All-Star game, the current zeitgeist… The post THE DIG: Break Stuff | ft. Miroslav Ćuk and Jeremy Poley appeared first on Denver Stiffs .
We knew heading into today that UNC would be without their best player in Caleb Wilson as he is sidelined with a broken bone in his left hand. It was announced before the game that the Tar Heels would also be without the other half of the front court duo in Henri Veesaar, who was […]
The first major coordinator hire for former Seattle Seahawks play-caller and Las Vegas Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak does not involve anyone from Mike Macdonald’s staff. Instead, he’s opted to promote someone who was on Pete Carroll’s Raiders staff. With Patrick Graham leaving the Raiders to be DC of the Pittsburgh Steelers, it looks like […]
On Saturday afternoon, the BC men’s basketball team hosted the Cal Golden Bears, the last of a 3-game homestand at Conte Forum. Cal jumped out to an early 15-6 lead after making some quick layups and stifling the Eagles disorganized offense. But BC finally started to find its groove after Jason Asemota hit a three, […]
Sunday morning feels more like a formality than a tune-up for Team Canada as they look to seal up Group A against France. But if there’s one thing we’ve learned so far in this tournament, it’s that all 12 countries have either won a game or put a scare into their opponents. France did the…
This past week, I asked a question that was originally suggested by Johnny, aka Alpha6: With the idea that our Miami Dolphins have taken multiple members of both the front office and coaching staff away from the Green Bay Packers to rebuild the staff in Miami, do you see the Packers taking a step back, […]
Don’t say it too loud, but Liverpool are starting to become fun to watch again. It’s still not the most convincing Liverpool side, and there are plenty of worries about the effectiveness of the formation and some of the seemingly nailed on starters. Still, there was more emphasis on the attack in a fairly open […]
No. 2 Michigan secured the regular season series against No. 5 Penn State with a 6-3 win on Saturday night. The Nittany Lions were down to 10 healthy forwards after Dane Dowiak exited last night’s game with an injury. Penn State’s effort was solid for most of the game, but the Wolverines’ superior talent and […]
Game Summary: I would guess Miami got pretty much what they wanted in the first half, other than making free throws. McNeil was 0-1, Williams had 5 points, and Copeland was driving to the basket a lot and only had 2 assists. Rebounding was a nightmare to watch, Miami had 11 offensive rebounds and led […]
It was a great start for Marquette on Saturday at Cintas Center, as Adrien Stevens hit a three-pointer 18 seconds after the Golden Eagles won the opening tipoff. And that was the end of the good news for Marquette, as Xavier responded to that transgression on their home turf with a 28-7 run. Technically, it […]
Hey, Purdue basketball is good again! A week ago we watched Purdue slog through an ugly home win against a very bad Oregon team in West Lafayette. It did not look good as the team prepared to head out on a two-game road trip. Nebraska was a top 10 team and Iowa had pushed Purdue […]
Stop if you’ve heard this before, but the Lakers had someone in the dunk contest put up a dud. Jaxson Hayes competed in Saturday’s Dunk Contest at All-Star weekend and in a move that probably shouldn’t have been shocking given the history of Lakers competing in the event, it was a very underwhelming showing. Hayes’ […]
Pitching was expected to be Arizona’s strength this season, but so far it’s been the source of several poor performances already. The Wildcats’ bullpen couldn’t hold a 5-2 lead, giving up five runs in the bottom of the 7th inning of a 7-6 loss to Oregon State on Saturday afternoon at Surprise Stadium. The UA […]
Around this time of the season in 1836, Antonio López de Santa Anna wore down the stalwarts in the mission, and prevailed over the locals in the Battle of the Alamo. Louisville’s 82-71 grind of a win on Saturday in the longhorn town of Fort Worth, if not nearly as significant or bloody, was similar […]
I hope the weekend has been treating y’all well so far! Happy Valentine’s Day to everybody who’s celebrating. Here’s a random clip:
The Green Bay Packers are almost certainly going to take a cornerback in the 2026 draft, if not to replace Keisean Nixon, Carrington Valentine or Nate Hobbs in 2026, then to replace the expiring contracts of Nixon, Valentine, Bo Melton and Kamal Hadden in 2027. Nixon, Valentine and Hadden are going into the final year […]
Let’s be clear about this: Things could have gone a lot worse. Marquette men’s lacrosse didn’t even have possession of the ball until #7 Notre Dame went up 2-0 on their second shot of Saturday afternoon’s game, which means the the Fighting Irish scored on their first two shots of their season, and the second […]
The Iowa Hawkeyes never had their footing in a 78-57 loss to the #9 Purdue Boilermakers. They finished just the game on 38% shooting and made just 6/22 from deep. They were just 9/18 on dunks/layups. Purdue once again shot the leather off the ball with the 12/30 from three underscoring just how big the […]
