Prior to the draft there was a lot of discussion about the positional value of a safety, and some of that line of thinking might have pushed Caleb Downs out of the top five and into the waiting arms of the Dallas Cowboys. Austin Mock of The Athletic explained the issue prior to the draft: […]

Thanks to the nflFastR project, Pro Football Focus and NFL NextGen Stats for the timely sources of data. For those of you new to this, I will publish key QB stats each week judging how well the Colts’ QB performed. Yes, O-Line, receivers, and play-calling impact these numbers but they are primarily QB measures. I will probably modify the […]
Because some of you have asked, while the poll tool is currently not available, the latest that we have from the WordPress developers is that they are planning to add one in the near future. Fresh off the heels of a defeat in Der Klassiker, Borussia Dortmund bounced back with a solid 4-2 away win […]
Jack Stevens: 6 Found the ball far away from his goal for most of the early stages. Made a good catch and a poor clearance with his first two major interventions of the first half. Bravely dove at the feet of the onrushing Northampton attacker to make an excellent save in the 25th minute. Alert […]
The once-ambitious plan to stage a match La Liga between FC Barcelona and Villarreal CF in Miami has been shelved. La Liga and promoter Relevent Sports blame “uncertainty in Spain” and “insufficient time” to pull off the event. While that might sound like a logistical hiccup, for the players and the home supporters in Spain, […]

It sure seems like Justin Fields is heading to the bench in the Big Apple. The New York Jets are 0-7 and appear on the brink of making a change at the quarterback position as the team heads into its Week 8 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. And while first-year Jets Head Coach Aaron Glenn will get the final call, comments like the ones by team owner Woody Johnson are accelerating the process: #Jets owner Woody Johnson: "It’s hard when you have a quarterback with the rating that ...
Heading into the bye week at 2-5, it’s obvious that the Las Vegas Raiders need to make some changes for the rest of the season. One of the Raiders’ first moves should be to push rookie cornerback Darien Porter up the depth chart by elevating him into the starting lineup. While current first-string corner Kyu […]
Shout out to Keith on Twitter for asking for a new Lounge. Here’s the old one. The Mavericks play tomorrow and then they play a whole heck of a lot of games in a short period of time, but at least they’re all at home. How’s this lounge format working? Are our regular commenters here […]
Another day of practice before they hit the road for four games.
If someone told you a month ago that Joel Embiid would be suiting up for the opener in Boston against the Celtics, you’d have called them crazy. But here we are, the day before opening night, and the 2022-23 MVP is not listed on the injury report, meaning the big fella should take the floor. […]
It started with Nike and the NBA, then it made its way to the MLB, and now the trend is commencing at the college football ranks — City Edition uniforms. These alternate uniforms don’t traditionally utilize team colors but rather incorporate elements of the city the team plays in. The Tulane Green Wave unveiled their City […]
A number of teams (and their fanbases) have already turned their attention towards the offseason. Identifying free agent targets is a big part of that prep work, so it’s worth taking a look at the players who’ll be available at each position. We’re moving to the outfield corners, where there are a couple of strong…
Three points. Job done. A not-so-spectacular performance with a relieving result at the end of it is just what the doctor ordered for Reading at this point in time. I was strangely confident going into the match. Although it has been a run of not-so-positive results, the performance at Cardiff City was as good as […]
On Tuesday afternoon, he Chargers announced a trio of roster transactions. First, the team is placing defensive tackle Otito Ogbonnia on IR with an elbow injury he sustained this past Sunday against the Colts.

The Detroit Lions were involved in another odd officiating situation on Monday night in their game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Early in the fourth quarter, the Lions challenged a play in which Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton was ruled to convert a fourth-and-2. On the play, Otton caught the ball, reached forward near the […]
Word broke on Tuesday morning that the Dallas Cowboys had inquired about trading for Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby. He would immediately fill the Micah Parsons-shaped hole on the Cowboys roster that has been in place for about two months now. Trading for him would give Jerry Jones an opportunity to finally live […]
Oddsmakers have given Kyle Shanahan and the San Francisco 49ers the utmost respect this season. Through seven games, the only games the Niners weren’t favored to win came against the Los Angeles Rams on a short week without Brock Purdy, Ricky Pearsall, and Jauan Jennings, and a road trip in a tough spot against the […]

A 14-minute Atlético Madrid capitulation resulted in a 4-0 battering at the Emirates Stadium from Arsenal in matchday three of the UEFA Champions League’s league phase. After a cagey first half that saw Julián Alvarez spurn an open goal, the Gunners opened the floodgates with a header from Gabriel Magalhães on 57 minutes. That proved […]
The J.J. McCarthy situation continues to be weird. McCarthy, whom the Minnesota Vikings traded up to select in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, is set to miss his fifth consecutive game because of an ankle injury. The University of Michigan product suffered an ankle injury in the team’s Week 2 win against the Atlanta Falcons. However, there is a belief in some circles that McCarthy’s injury is actually an excuse for a soft benching. And while I do not dabble in conspiracy theories, ...
Daniel Jones MASSIVE points per drive numbers! Carlisle excuses Jones idiocy! Cignetti deal details!
I don’t know about any of you, but I’ve talked more people about the Blue Jays today than ever in my life. I were my Jays’ jersey (my signed by Brett Lawrie one) and every person wanted to talk about yesterday’s game. Even small children wanted to talk about it. Sportsnet tell us that it […]
