With the 2026 NFL Draft winding down, teams began turning their attention to rookie free agency. The New England Patriots were no exception, and they will once again be quite busy: the team of head coach Mike Vrabel and quasi-general manager Eliot Wolf has several open spots on its 90-man roster available to be filled. […]

TV/Stream: Full live match coverage is unavailable in the UK.

With Reinildo back in contention, there was an increasing chance that we might go five at the back at Stamford Bridge; however, Omar Alderete’s absence today makes that unlikely. Nordi Mukiele’s performance at right back last weekend was excellent, and with Luke O’Nien also back in contention there’s a few options available to the manager today. […]
On this day, Sam Allardyce became the fourth Sunderland manager to beat Newcastle United in their second game in charge, as we beat our fiercest rivals 3-0. Whilst Steve McClaren suggested that his team was “utterly dominant” in the first half, the game was tight and cagey for almost the entire first forty five minutes […]
Chelsea have looked promising so far this season. What are the expectations for 2025/2026? It’s a similar story to last season. We don’t have the consistency to challenge for the league and we don’t have the quality and experience to win the Champions League. So really, we’re hoping to win a domestic cup and hopefully […]
Editor’s note: This week, Ryan McCain joined Into the Calderón as our newest staff writer. We thought it would be a cool idea for Ryan to introduce himself to you and talk about his journey as an American Atlético fan (there aren’t that many of us)! We hope you enjoy his debut article below. Hello! […]
Anthony Gair says… The Red and White Army…enough said! The fans were absolutely magnificent to a number. Chelsea’s fans must’ve thought they were away from home — properly loud and the only fans to be heard on the telly. Brian Brobbey plays his part Is there a stronger man on the planet? No. The patience […]
The Jazz flew into Sacramento fresh off a tune-up exhibition game against a local senior center decisive win over the Los Angeles Clippers, ready to test themselves against the Sacramento Kings, another California team with an eclectic assortment of players. Russell Westbrook. DeMar DeRozan. Zach Lavine. Domantas Sabonis. The Kings, while formidable, would have been […]
The Lakers bounced back after a season opening loss, with an impressive 128-110 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday night. Luka Dončić scored 32 of his 49 points in the first half. He also ended with 11 rebounds and eight assists in 35 minutes of play. Austin Reaves had 25 points, seven rebounds and […]
The Virginia Tech Hokies improved to 3-5 on the season and 2-2 in ACC play, defeating the California Golden Bears 42-34 on Friday night in Blacksburg. The Hokies started fast when defensive tackle Kemari Copeland sacked Cal quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele for a 14-yard loss to set the tone. Two plays later, Virginia Tech forced a […]
Everton FC manager David Moyes gave an update on two injured Toffees earlier today, and when he did, he had a lot to say. Jarrad Branthwaite and Nathan Patterson aren’t coming back for awhile, but at least we now know more about their situations, straight from the source. Everton FC vs Tottenham Hotspur FYIs Kick […] The post Everton Team News vs Tottenham: Jarrad Branthwaite, Nathan Patterson appeared first on The Sports Bank .
The Mavericks lost their second straight game to begin the 2025-26 season and their home opener on Friday night in embarrassing fashion, 117-107 to the Washington Wizards. Kyshawn George led the way for the Wizards with 34 points, 11 rebounds, four assists and five steals. Dallas native Tre Johnson also added 17 points, and Alex […]
Keba Keita blocked a shot in the final seconds and BYU beat North Carolina 78-76 Friday night in Salt Lake City. Both teams weren’t totally dialed in on offense — which isn’t unexpected for October — but both teams brought the intensity and treated this like a real game, which will pay dividends for when […]
Panthers News Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle enters Week 8 with momentum from three consecutive team victories. The Panthers face the Buffalo Bills on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium in a game that could showcase the team’s dual-back approach. Dowdle returned to a rotational role last Sunday against the New York Jets after […]
Eagles News Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson will see expanded opportunities Sunday when the team hosts the New York Giants at Lincoln Financial Field. Star receiver A.J. Brown has been ruled out with a hamstring injury. Brown missed all three practice sessions this week and was officially declared out Friday afternoon. He caught four […]
If the OKC game was exciting, frustrating and encouraging in equal measure, this game was pure frustration. The Rockets have started the year playing two “Can’t Call ‘Em All” defenses, though Detroit is actually a more extreme version. An average Sengun or Amen game is a Rockets win. They had something considerably worse. Tonight’s reverse […]
The Dallas Mavericks fell to the Washington Wizards 117-107 in Friday night’s matchup at home. The horrid loss marks Dallas’ second of the season, and follows a rather forgettable 125-92 defeat to Victor Wembanyama’s Spurs. Daniel Gafford (ankle sprain), Dante Exum (mysteriously undisclosed leg injury?), and Kyrie Irving (ACL) were all out for the Mavericks. […]
As we are all set and ready to enjoy a Notre Dame Football bye week (also known as the cheeseburger bye week) the noise surrounding things OTHER than the college football playoff is starting to get turned up a notch or two. One of those things is the Heisman Trophy, and a name that is […]
Another slow start for the Wolf Pack ended up being the difference maker in round one of the Battle of Connecticut.
After a too easy and perhaps too fun opening night blowout of the Dallas Mavericks, the Spurs came back down to earth a bit against an injured New Orleans Pelicans club that at least has a healthy Zion Williamson back. It was a back-and-forth, ugly game where neither team ever led by double figures or […]
Choosing a team name for an expansion franchise usually happens before jerseys are debuted in order to have the franchise's new logo based on the name affixed to said jerseys. As we know, the PWHL didn't do that with their first six franchises, waiting over a year to actually attach names to those teams. The six names chosen still seem rather ridiculous, but the PWHL made it through Year Two as the Minnesota Frost celebrated their second Walter Cup victory over the Ottawa Charge. Knowing two e...

MLB | Jesse Borek: Three and a half years ago, the Yankees signed undrafted free agent Hueston Morrill. Morrill, who’d played both ways in college, prefered to be a hitter. But when the Yankees thought he could transition to pitching full-time, he embraced it. After a non-descript 2024, Morrill exploded in 2025. Across the season […]
It was a very information filled media session today for Tottenham Hotspur and their supporters, as manager Thomas Frank provided updates on a few injured players, including Dominic Solanke, Destiny Udogie, Cristian Romero and more. So let’s dive right in, starting with Solanke, and his ankle problem. Everton FC vs Tottenham Hotspur FYIs Kick off: […] The post Tottenham Team News at Everton: Solanke, Udogie, Romero, Davies appeared first on The Sports Bank .
It was a dicey fourth quarter, but the Cleveland Cavaliers held off the Brooklyn Nets 131-124 to pick up their first win of the season. Despite blowing a 25-point lead, the Cavs dug in for the final four minutes and played physical basketball to avoid a full collapse. Grades are based on our expectations for […]
The Dodgers have won the National League pennant for a second year in a row, dispatching the Milwaukee Brewers in four games in the NLCS. That earned Los Angeles a return trip to the World Series, which will begin on Friday, October 24. In the American League Championship Series, the Toronto Blue Jays won the […]
