The New England Patriots already know their 2026 opponents, and have done so since the end of the regular season in January. What they do not know yet, however, is when they will play all of them. With the NFL Draft in the rear view mirror and the calendar having turned to May, that mystery […]
On Saturday, the performance of one Northern Ireland international deservedly earned the headlines and plaudits, as Dan Ballard scored our opener, provided an assist for the equaliser, blocked a likely winner for the opposition, and delivered a Man-of-the-Match performance. What may have gone under the radar was the part his international compatriot played in nullifying […]
You could feel something crackling through the air long before the first notes of the Last Post rang out pre-match. Something, almost inevitably, was brewing. And it came to pass: once again in the dying embers of the game, the Stadium of Light was sent into a higher plane. In one swift tangle of blue, […]
Alex Charlton says… This has to be the toughest choice for Régis Le Bris because collectively, I think defence is our strongest position in terms of depth — which is funny considering how concerned I was about it during the summer. Of course, it depends on what formation we play. Against the stronger teams, a […]
During the 1950s, floodlit games added a dash of glamour to the footballing schedule, with the high-profile visit of Moscow Dynamo in 1955 proving to be one of the most intriguing games staged in Sunderland that decade. The match itself, played on Monday 14 November, saw the Lads fall to a narrow defeat against their […]
The Cleveland Cavaliers snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Hey, at least this isn’t something they do very often. LOSER – Defending for 0.4 seconds Let’s get this out of the way. The Cavs somehow, after playing a game in which they had no business winning, found themselves on the verge of forcing a […]
After going 2-0 in the first week, Gonzaga’s Allie Turner and Lauren Whittaker swept the West Coast Conference’s weekly awards. Turner (17.o points on 65.0 percent from the field and 65.0 percent on three-pointers, 3.5 assists, 2.0 rebounds per game) was named the Player of the Week, and Whittaker (14.5 points on a 75.0 field […]
After going 2-0 in the first week, Gonzaga’s sophomore guard Allie Turner and redshirt freshman forward Lauren Whittaker swept the West Coast Conference’s weekly awards. Turner (17.o points on 65.0 percent from the field and 65.0 percent on three-pointers, 3.5 assists, 2.0 rebounds per game) was named the Player of the Week, and Whittaker (14.5 […]
The NBA just wrapped up its craziest night yet of the regular season. Both the Heat and Magic walked away victorious thanks to a spectacular buzzer-beating play. The first of the night came in Orlando, where Desmond Bane had his first signature moment as part of the Magic organization. Tied with the Portland Trail Blazers at 112 apiece with 1.9 seconds left, he ran toward Franz Wagner to retrieve the inbound. Despite having All-Defensive Team forward Toumani Camara draped all over him, Ba...
Svi Mykhailiuk | D+ Will Hardy’s favorite player struggled to hit shots in this one. He also didn’t defend particularly well, as evidenced by his team-worst -17. I don’t normally put too much credence into +/-, but when all of Jazz media points to it when it’s good, you have to also admit when it’s […]
It’s another week here at BCB After Dark: the hippest hangout for night owls, early risers, new parents and Cubs fans abroad. Come on in out of the cold. It’s always good to see you. Let us check your coat. We still have a few tables available. The hostess will seat you now. Bring your […]
This game was intended more for grainy, black-and-white celluloid and leather helmets than anything in vivid high definition. The Eagles outlasted the Green Bay Packers, 10-7, on Monday night at frigid Lambeau Field in moving to 7-2 and the No. 1 seed in the NFC. From the Eagles’ perspective, that was the only good. Otherwise, […]
The Dallas Mavericks were sporting their beautiful Hardwood Classic green jerseys when they welcomed the Milwaukee Bucks to the American Airlines Center Monday night. Languishing as the 14 Seed in the West, Dallas was looking to improve on their 3-7 record but could not get the job done as they fell 116-114. Let’s get to […]
Following two hard-fought victories, the Spurs extended their win streak to three games following an up and down performance against Chicago Monday night. San Antonio shot out of a cannon to start the game. De’Aaron Fox and Harrison Barnes made back to back open threes that were generated by Wemby’s gravity, and Chicago had a […]
The Jazz returned to the friendly confines of the Delta Center, playing host to the Minnesota Timberwolves, who thoroughly dispatched them their last meeting, 137-97. This one was more competitive, with the Jazz even holding a small halftime lead. However, in the third quarter the Jazz were reminiscent of J.R.R. Tolkien’s ancient dwarves of Khazad-dûm—they […]
When: Wednesday November 12 – 8:00 PM Where: Lenovo Center TV: ACC Network Opponent: UNC Greensboro Spartans (SoCon Conference) Prediction – KenPom (KP) / Bart Torvik (BT): NC State 88-65 / NC State 89-63 Wolfpack Snapshot: Wolfpack Player Notes: Terrance Arceneaux is nursing a sore Achilles, he only played 10 minutes in the first game and 8 in the […]
I would have been happy if the Chicago Bears were in the playoff hunt after nine games, but after 10 weeks of football, they are in an even better spot. With the Philadelphia Eagles’ win over the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football, the Bears have moved up in the current NFC playoff standings. […]
After knowing right away that the Lakers weren’t going to win on Saturday against Atlanta, the opening minutes of Monday’s game against the Hornets were going to be notable. While it wasn’t a “blow you away” type of performance from LA, it was a far more serious approach. Impressively — and improbably — it was […]
News broke early today as the PWHL decided to announce the dates and locations of their 2025-26 Takeover Tour stops. I received an email in my inbox that arrived approximately 30 minutes before the official social media blitz began, but the announcement that the PWHL was coming to Winnipeg to play at the Canada Life Centre felt like a big "finally" had been lifted off this city. Until this year's tournament in April 2025 in Czechia, the IIHF Women's World Championship attendance record had bee...
Monday night was never going to be Friday night. At least by no reasonable expectation. After a 40 point evisceration of the Utah Jazz at Target Center on Friday night, the Wolves this time were in Salt Lake City to take on Utah for the second time in four days. Ironically, the game started out […]

You can’t beat many magicians if you let them pick all the tricks to be played, a maxim the Portland Trailblazers verified against the Orlando Magic in NBA action tonight. Orlando turned out to have more than enough tricks at hand to prevail, scratching out a 115-112 win thanks to a buzzer-beating three by Blazers […]
Before the Green Bay Packers lost the game with a 64-yard field goal miss from kicker Brandon McManus, the offense’s previous drive stalled out at midfield because of a turnover on downs. To add insult to injury, the Philadelphia Eagles’ defense knew exactly what was coming on that fourth down. On 4th and 1, the […]

The Athletic | Ken Rosenthal, Will Sammon, Katie Woo, & Patrick Mooney ($): Kyle Tucker doesn’t have quite the allure of Juan Soto, Shohei Ohtani or Aaron Judge, but he’s the top free agent in this year’s class and will land himself a healthy contract. Just who ends up signing him is an open question, […]

We also get into the importance of the game for Pat Kelsey and what a win would mean for the Cards. Thanks for listening. Direct link here.
