Happy Monday, everyone. Too bad it’s not the victory Monday that it should be today.

Northwestern’s farewell to the lakefront couldn’t have been scripted better.

The Wolves Didn’t Come This Far to Only Come This Far You can count the truly great Timberwolves seasons on one hand and still have fingers left to point at old scars. 2004’s Big Three run.

The start of the NBA season approaching means it’s time for my favorite bi-annual tradition: depressing my co-workers by asking them long-term questions about the state of the Philadelphia 76ers. As a team that quickly went from title contenders to ping-pong ball hopefuls, there’s a lot of ways this season can go. So, I’ve given […]
Last season provided a picture-perfect ending for UConn and Paige Bueckers. The super senior won the title that had eluded her during her entire collegiate career, allowing her to celebrate on the floor with head coach Geno Auriemma, who now has 12 NCAA national championships.

It appears his departure from the Toronto […]
After watching ourcomplete meltdown in Minnesota, I’ve had enough. I said after the Michigan game that Matt Rhule would “probably” need to make some tough decisions this offseason. Well, scratch the “probably” – he absolutely must make changes, starting with our offensive line coach. Nine sacks. Nine. And before everyone starts the blame game trying […]
Editor’s note: This article was written before Reading’s game at Cardiff City on Saturday, although stats have been updated to include that match (unless otherwise stated).

The Chargers defense barely put up a fight against the Colts as Indy scored a touchdown on each of their first three drives of the game. They slowed down a bit as the game went on but 38 points is no joke. Unsurprisingly, the Bolts defense had zero players grade above 70.0. Offensively they had […]
If you looked atop the National Hockey League when it comes to ice time , you would see Philadelphia Flyer defenseman Travis Sanheim leading the pack, and the team acknowledges that they don’t want to burn him out. Heading into Monday’s contests, the blueliner leads the league in average ice time with 27:16, the only player in the league with over 27 minutes per game; second is Columbus defenseman Zach Werenski (26:39). Looking a little bit further down you’d see Sanheim’s partner Cam Yor...

The Buffalo Bills are back at it this week, fresh off a much-needed bye in Week 7. Will that week of rest help the Bills re-calibrate their season after a two-game slide? Buffalo is still very much a force in the playoff hunt, but in recent weeks they’ve dropped from the one seed in the […]
The Meriam-Webster definition of adversity is “a state or instance of serious difficulty or misfortune”. That’s exactly what the ‘Cats were presented with against the then-ranked No. 8 Princeton Tigers just a week ago, when they suffered their first regular season loss in 785 days. A flawless season erased in a matter of 60 minutes. […]
Newcastle United suffered a brutal loss on Saturday, 2-1 at Brighton & Hove Albion. Their league season continues to be a slog, to say the least.

The Colts are off to a tremendous 6-1 start and own the best record in the NFL after seven weeks, and a large reason is Braden Smith, who is in the final year of a $71 million contract extension as he anchors a solid offensive line… … wait a minute… Oh, this is about THAT […]
