This was a tough road loss. No loss is easy, but the Lady Hokies just couldn’t deal with JMU’s rebounding. Tech couldn’t contend with a smothering defense, combined with continued intermittent Hokie offensive woes. This One Stings. I was not able to watch the game, I ended up having to watch the play-by-play on the […]

The New England Patriots hung on to win a sloppy game against the Bengals in Cincinnati on Sunday.

Colts loss @KC not a killer! Steichen & Jones MUST be better v Texans! Pacers tonight
On Nov. 17. 2024, Ohio State women’s basketball took on the Belmont Bruins. The year prior, the Buckeyes sailed to an easy 29-point win in the first game of a two year home-and-home series.

There are times when the baseball calendar crawls to a stop. Employees working for the team are people too and they are likely using some of the time this week to take a break and do family things. Makes sense. The last major transaction in baseball that I can remember during Thanksgiving week was when […]
In his postgame press conference Friday night, Jaylen Brown said he believed the Celtics “went through the motions” in a loss to the Nets. Sunday night against the Magic, the Celtics looked like a team that got the message. It got somewhat dicey at the end, as a 26-point lead suddenly shrunk to six, but […]
If yesterday’s 3-1 victory over Cremonese had happened in Matchday 1 rather than Matchday 12, Roma fans would have been frothing at the mouth with visions of Gian Piero Gasperini’s attack overwhelming the entire league and ending the club’s decades-long Scudetto drought in one fell, entertaining swoop. But a funny thing happened over the past […]

Good morning, Camden Chatters. There was a bit of news on the MLB hot stove yesterday, as the Mets and Rangers made a surprising challenge trade — my struggling, expensive veteran for your struggling, expensive veteran — with a one-for-one swap that sent outfielder Brandon Nimmo to Texas and second baseman Marcus Semien to New […]
Good morning Gang Green Nation! The New York Jets lost to the Baltimore Ravens yesterday, 23 -10. The Ravens came out flat, looking unimpressive and out of sorts in the first half. It was an opportunity for the Jets to build a big lead and possibly sneak out of Baltimore with an upset. Alas, it […]

Second Half Miracle Let me first start by saying the defense deserves some flowers for the way they performed in the second half. I can’t say it enough, and Dak […]
The only thing that could change is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers may be without Baker Mayfield so things could be a little easier for the Arizona Cardinals. That will be something interesting to watch since our friends at FanDuel Sportsbook have the Arizona Cardinals as 2.5-point underdogs on the road this coming week. For the […]
Happy Thanksgiving week! The Nebrasketball team edged out Kansas State to remain undefeated and keep alive the longest win streak in the country.
