Atlético Madrid coach Diego Simeone spoke to the media after watching his team cruise to a comfortable 3-0 victory over Sevilla with goals from Julián Alvarez, Thiago Almada and Antoine Griezmann. After the victory, Simeone was quizzed on whether he was excited about how this season could end for Atlético in light of the recent […]

If you want to learn more about this game and how to watch, please read Mike’s preview. This has to be a win for Kansas, and fans will be restless if it’s even a close one. Let’s get the W today, folks. Rock Chalk!
1) Good first half Penn State didn’t roll over, staying with the Buckeyes blow for blow. It looked like it was going to get out of hand early, but Penn State took advantage of a rare Ohio State turnover to turn what could have been a 24-7 hole into a 17-14 halftime score. 2) Bad […]
For 30 minutes, Penn State, thanks to a key turnover and a lot of heart, looked like a team that had a chance at pulling off one of the biggest upsets in program history. But then the second half happened. Ohio State looked the part of the No. 1 team in the country with a […]
The Miami Dolphins dropped to 2-7 through the first nine weeks of the 2025 NFL season after losing to the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday Night Football. While the rest of the league is waiting for their Week 9 contests, the Dolphins are already starting to work on the future – general manager Chris Grier has […]
Bryce Eldridge’s mid-September call-up was billed as a desperate search for an offensive boost in a desperate and flailing push for the postseason. Admittedly, a big ask for a 20 year old, and somewhat unsurprisingly, the team’s young top-prospect did not provide the much-needed kick in the pants. The Giants pulled at October’s push-door and […]
Chicago’s sojourn through Canada continues this weekend as the Blackhawks face off against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night.
It’s a similar Cup-or-bust season for the Oilers, who lost in six games to the Florida Panthers in last summer’s after losing in seven games to the same Panthers in 2024. With Sasha Barkov out for the season in Sunrise, though, the possibility of Edmonton finally summiting the top of the hockey world seems more real than ever. And it’s largel...
The Cincinnati Reds made make or break roster decisions with a pair of veterans over the past week, choosing to outright both right-hander Ian Gibaut and infielder/outfielder Santiago Espinal off the 40-man roster and assign them to AAA Louisville. Both Gibaut and Espinal, though, have enough service time as veterans to control their own destinies […]
Sunday afternoon’s battle doesn’t carry quite the same gravity as last year’s Week 18 clash for the NFC’s top seed. Still, coming off the bye — with the Minnesota Vikings returning to their planned starting quarterback of the future, J.J. McCarthy, and getting healthier across the board — this becomes a pivotal home game for […]
As you’d imagine, the San Francisco 49ers are active with the NFL’s trade deadline looming. We found out what the asking price was for a pair of potential edge rushers earlier this morning. Let’s talk about a team that has been linked to the Niners in more ways than one. Ever since the 49ers lost […]
The New England Patriots are heading into the back-nine of their season against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. The game will be a matchup between two teams trending in opposite directions: the 6-2 Patriots have won five games in a row, whereas the Falcons are coming off back-to-back losses to drop them to 3-4 on […]
Stuart Skinner stood in front of reporters as the Chicago Blackhawks rolled into Rogers Place and declared that the Edmonton Oilers are fine. He’s happy with how his game has been growing this season. Everything’s trending in the right direction. No need to worry. The question is whether anyone should actually believe him. Skinner has…
Maryland football hosts Curt Cignetti and red-hot No. 2 Indiana Saturday at SECU Stadium for its homecoming game. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:30 p.m. on CBS. This is your space for thoughts, observations or whatever you would like to share, but please be respectful.
We are just a couple of days away from Carolina basketball officially returning, and the buzz around the team is getting louder after two impressive exhibition games. It’s easy to write off these types of events as unimportant, but here’s the thing: nobody knew anything about this team prior to the BYU and Winston-Salem State […]
The Falcons travel to Foxborough on a northeastern trip to face off against the team that gave them the most infamous moment in their history. Overall, THAT game was just one out of 16 total meetings between Atlanta and New England in their NFL histories, with the Patriots leading 10-6. This matchup has always been […]
The NFL season is an evolving state of affairs, and week 9 finds your 4-3 Chicago Bears right back in the crosshairs of a .500 season with the dream of playoff football seemingly slipping through their grasp. Or, right back at the front of the pack in terms of playoff odds. In this weekly series, […]
The BC football team plays their 2nd ranked opponent in two weeks when they host #12 Notre Dame at Alumni Stadium on Saturday afternoon. Coming off of a loss to Louisville to drop to a 1-7 record, the Eagles’ season continues to spiral out of control due to a slew of injuries, offensive woes, and […]
Five away games, five wins. It looks like Gasperini has cured Roma’s old Achilles Heel: poor results on the road. But what’s behind their struggles at home? Roma’s results are split into two parts: they have won all their away matches, but all their defeats have occurred at home. The Stadio Olimpico, once an impenetrable fortress, […]
How was he acquired? The Braves signed Jhancarlos Lara back in 2021 as an international free agent. The team was still dealing with their international sanctions from the John Coppolella era at the time, significantly limiting what they could spend. So getting a real prospect in this time would require finding a diamond in the […]
With the New Orleans Saints’ loss last week to the Buccaneers, they currently have the top pick in the draft. The Saints may stay here by the end of the season, but there’s also a chance this is the only time this season that New Orleans is selecting here, so I wanted to have some […]
Ahead of Saturday’s game in Philadelphia, Craig Berube discussed William Nylander’s injury absence, the return of Chris Tanev, the team’s offensive vs. defensive balance, and the challenge against the Flyers. With William Nylander unavailable, where do you miss him the most? Berube: In a lot of areas, obviously. Any time he is on the ice, […]

Many of us have lamented the Bulldogs’ slow first half starts this season. If ever there were a team against whom the Dawgs should come out firing it would be this Gator team. And, I hope this doesn’t sound too Munsonian, they really need to come out hot. This Florida team has some great athletes. […]
Through eight weeks of the NFL season, it’s safe to say that the opposing offenses the Green Bay Packers have faced thus far were primarily worried about Micah Parsons’ impact on their ability to play offense. Through the first four weeks, opposing teams could game plan around Parsons’ rushing off the edge. After the bye […]
