The Cubs came back home and got right back into a groove. When last we saw this team, they’d swept all seven games on a seven-game homestand. For those not keeping track at home, they also won the home game before that back on April 12. So this is now nine straight wins at Wrigley […]
On Thursday, NFL Films released its latest “NFL Turning Point” video as part of its online video series on ESPN. In an effort to promote the show, NFL Films posted a strange and frankly insulting video centered around recently suspended Detroit Lions safety Brian Branch. A few hours after posting the video, amidst backlash from […]

Milwaukee Brewers at Los Angeles Dodges/Toronto Blue Jays Seattle Mariners – A LCS Game thread for October 17, 2025
No. 10 Maryland field hockey lined up, hand in hand, as their teammates approached the shooting circle. The Terps were prepared to face off in a shootout, their game against Indiana remaining tied after 80 minutes. Annemijn Klijnhout, Maci Bradford, Fleur Koppert and Callie Rogers all stared at Indiana goalkeeper Sadie Canelli at the middle […]
Unless you’ve been living under a rock (or hiding behind a John Cena) you’re probably aware that Portland Trail Blazers guard Shaedon Sharpe is eligible for a contract extension this fall. The two sides have not reached an agreement yet, but ESPN’s Tim Bontemps and Sean Marks think it will get done. Running down prospects […]
The Oilers’ first road swing gave us a bit of everything — a power play without bite, a rookie still finding his place, and a few questionable lineup calls. There’s plenty to like and plenty to fix, but one thing’s clear: this team misses Zach Hyman. Missing Hyman Without Zach Hyman, the Oilers’ power play…
The Knicks wrap up their preseason at Madison Square Garden, hosting the Charlotte Hornets in their final tune-up before the regular season. The Knicks are dealing with some injuries and roster flux, while the Hornets looked pretty good in their recent beatdown of Memphis. It’s a meaningless game on paper—but a strong finish would make […]

Are you a free-agent pitcher who has a four-seam fastball in the 93rd percentile for velocity and the 83rd percentile for extension? Well, then, the Astros might have interest in you. They probably had interest in Nate Pearson for those very reasons. A former first-round pick in 2017 and top prospect of the Blue Jays, […]

Lars Nootbaar had surgery on both heels, and Brendan Donovan underwent a sports hernia repair on October 7. Ivan Herrera had surgery on his elbow to remove bone spurring on Oct. 15. John Denton of MLB.com was among those to report…

Dallas also waived guard Dennis Smith Jr. and forward Jeremiah Robinson-Earl. The Mavericks’ G League affiliate, the Texas Legends, hold the G League rights to Banton.

Welcome back to BTSC’s Friday night open thread: And in honor of my Seattle roots, we’ll also be offering a “bottom’s up” to the tune of this Nirvana cover of an old blues song, “Ain’t It a Shame to Go Fishin’ on a Sunday” by Leadbelly. “Ain’t It A Shame” — Nirvana
It’s not often the Ball State Cardinals (2-4, 1-1 MAC) and Akron Zips (2-5, 1-2 MAC) get to meet up, but with the end of divisions, the two will be getting more acquainted soon enough. This weekend’s matchup is the first time the team have met in four years, with Akron’s head coach Joe Moorhead […]
Welcome to another Miami Hurricanes season everyone! Following last week’s bye week, your Miami Hurricanes are back in action every week from here to the end of the regular season. This week, the Canes play against the Louisville Cardinals. Louisville are looking to bounce back after their first loss of the season, a 30-27 overtime defeat at […]
It is unfortunately all too easy to forget that in the turmoil of Liverpool Women’s current season, they are also grieving the loss of Matt Beard, still. The former manager passed away on September 20th, and family, friends, and fans said farewell on Friday, at the Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral. His achievements were great, winning back […]
Friday means it’s time for survey results for this week. I asked two questions this week one about basketball and one about football. The first one about basketball asked if you care about preseason rankings. This is especially relevant this year as Purdue is the number one team in the nation in the preseason men’s […]
Cole Palmer’s nagging groin injury keeps getting more and more nagging, with the 23-year-old now set to be out for at least another six weeks, putting any potential return only in December. He was supposed to be out only through the current international break, though England manager Thomas Tuchel cast some doubt on that when […]
After a long and at times tortuous international break, Everton are back. The two-week gap between fixtures has often brought a blissful sense of relief in recent years, thanks to the team’s struggles. We needed any excuse to stop thinking about Everton for a while. But with things finally looking up, Evertonians were desperate for […]
Well, here we are. The Milwaukee Brewers are mired in one of the worst offensive slumps in the 57-year history of their franchise. This would be a problem if it occurred in June, but when it happens in October, it’s a disaster. Milwaukee has managed one run in each of the three games of this […]
The injury report continues to look pretty good for FC Dallas.
After last weekend it’s still hard to believe Penn State actually pulled the ripcord on James Franklin and I’m frankly (get it) stunned Wisconsin hasn’t done the same to Luke Fickell. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen such a precipitous fall than the one that just took place in Happy Valley. A preseason #2 […]
