It’s not quite 58-0, but it’s pretty close given what the Seattle Seahawks just did to the Arizona Cardinals. Opening drive touchdown from Sam Darnold to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, followed by a Tyrice Knight strip-sack of Jacoby Brissett for a DeMarcus Lawrence fumble return touchdown, then a George Holani touchdown run, then ANOTHER Knight/Lawrence combo for […]
Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski was a happy man after scoring a hat-trick as the Catalan giants beat Celta 4-2 at Balaidos in La Liga on Sunday night. The game always looked like being a tricky fixture for Hansi Flick’s side, and Lewandowski admitted the Barca boss had some strong words at the half-time break. “We’re […]
The Peoria Javelinas did not have a good week, dropping four of the five games played and dropping to fourth in the Fall League standings. The offense has been anemic and Padres prospect Maikel Miralles got blown up for the second straight start. Padres pitchers Miralles, thanks to two short and explosive appearances, now has […]
The Seattle Seahawks hold a commanding early lead over the Arizona Cardinals early in an NFC West showdown, with both sides of the ball dominating. The offense has moved up and down the field almost at will, while the defense has simply obliterated the Cardinals offense, which had looked rejuvenated since moving from Kyler Murray […]
Better pizza. Better skyline. Better when it mattered in the fourth quarter. The Chicago Bears pulled off yet another miraculous late-game come-from-behind win thanks to quarterback Caleb Williams FINAL: Chicago Bears 24, New York Giants 20 ( ESPN BOX SCORE ) Thoughts on the crazy Week 10 win The box score isn’t going to show that Caleb Williams played a great game. But to heck with the box score. Chicago’s QB1 delivered victory from the jaws of defeat with this improbabl...
As the first snows of late fall hit the streets of Chicago there is still baseball out in the Arizona desert where it’s been mid-80s and sunny since I arrived on Thursday. Last night in addition to the perfect weather, visitors at the Cubs Spring Training home, Sloan Park, were also treated to quite the […]
The Green Bay Packers will get the New York Giants on a short week, after they play against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. As far as timing goes, though, the Packers might end up catching the Giants at the right time. Not only are the Giants coming off four straight losses following their […]
Over the years we have seen a few pitchers who struggled in the MLB reinvent themselves in the KBO. A couple recent examples are Merrill Kelly and Erick Fedde. This offseason, there is a former big league pitcher who put up record setting numbers in Korea and his name is Cody Ponce. If you have […]
Every Bears game this season is designed purposefully to take years off your life, for better or worse. The Giants firmly had the lead going into the fourth quarter, but 14 points scored by Chicago helped them come from behind with a 24-20 victory on Sunday at Soldier Field. At their worst, the Bears had […]
All that matters is the win, and in this case, getting that sixth victory meant Arizona will be playing in a bowl game this season. Saturday’s 24-20 comeback win over Kansas wasn’t pretty, and in some ways was downright ugly, and the grades given by Pro Football Focus are indicative of this. The Wildcats (6-3, […]
2025 stats: 19 G (56 PA), .200 / .214/ .364, .164 ISO, 27 K%, 2 BB%, 57 wRC+ Once upon a time, Jerar Encarnación hit a baseball over a wall in Oakland, California. A lot about that sentence is horribly dated, even fantastical. Once upon a time…professional baseball in Oakland…Jerar Encarnación. Such a time did […]

There hasn’t been much to write about regarding the Chicago Bears offense, but they are trying to make it interesting late. It’s a 20-17 New York Giants lead after Bears quarterback Caleb Williams made this run and this throw to make this game far more interesting: What a snag by @colstonlovelan1 : FOX pic.twitter.com/cykM6UbWoN — Chicago Bears (@ChicagoBears) November 9, 2025 Wide open for 6 : FOX pic.twitter.com/W62Os1Gz9A — Chicago Bears (@ChicagoBears) November 9...
This will be a big one. The Arizona Cardinals need this one. The playoffs are a distant hope at this point, but at some point you have to make some hay in the division, and show you can compete. So, can they compete? Will they be not just competitive, but also get closer to winning […]
It’s a huge next two weeks for the Seattle Seahawks. Back-to-back games against NFC West opponents, starting with the Arizona Cardinals at home. They’ve not lost to Arizona since 2021, but not without some close calls as recently as the first meeting in Glendale. A lot has changed from the 23-20 win in Week 4. […]
Did the Texans game leave a bad taste in your mouth? Well not all football is gonna be that bad. Have some late afternoon football to act as a palate cleanser. Anyway, the maps. CBS SINGLE GAME Green: Arizona Cardinals at Seattle Seahawks (Announcers: Kevin Harlan, Trent Green; Referee: Alan Eck) FOX LATE GAMES Red: […]
Ryan Loutos started the season in the Cardinals organization and ended the year with the Nationals. But in between he spent 40 days with the Dodgers. The Dodgers tied their franchise record by using 40 pitchers in 2025, matching 2024. Loutos was No. 25 on the list, when he debuted for them on May 16 […]
Overview 2025 review I’m somewhat impressed that Getty Images had as many as two (2) pictures of Richards in a D-backs uniform, with which to illustrate this article. After all, he only appeared in two (2) games for Arizona, over a three-day span, both against the Houston Astros. Trevor did spend a total of eight […]
The Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals are set to face off in the Week 10 showdown at Lumen Field as Mike Macdonald and the team look to retain their perch atop the NFC West. There has been no shortage of injuries to hit the roster in recent weeks, with the defense taking hits at all […]
The Seattle Seahawks (6-2) are winners of three straight and narrowly leading the NFC West via tiebreaker over the Los Angeles Rams. Before they play the Rams next week, they must first deal with the Arizona Cardinals (3-5), who ended their five-game losing streak last week with a win over the Dallas Cowboys and are […]
Coming into 2025, José Berríos was three seasons into a seven-year, $131,000,000 contract. He does have an opt-out after next season, but then he has $6 million salary bump after next season, which I think will keep him satisfied. 2022 wasn’t good, but 2023 and 2024 were quite good, with a 2.5 bWAR and a […]
Few things warm my heart like a Chicago Bears rushing touchdown in the snow. Come for the Kyle Monangai score, but stay for the Cole Kmet pancake block from the fullback position: MONANGAIIIIIII : FOX pic.twitter.com/Eik9W2cmMQ — Chicago Bears (@ChicagoBears) November 9, 2025 The Monangai touchdown and a successful extra-point from Cairo Santos gives the Bears a 7-0 lead. Defensively, the New York Giants have been gashed through the air and on the ground all year long. If ...

Following the 0-0 draw with Rayo Vallecano, Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso spoke to the media and addressed criticism by saying, “I’m concerned about wanting to keep growing, wanting to keep improving, being positively self-critical, constructively self-critical”. He added that, “I think this is Real Madrid, we all know where we are and what we […]
After putting up 47 points on the road last week, what will the Chicago Bears do for the home fans today against the New York Giants? New York has an awful run defense, so could we see some more angry running from rookie Kyle Monangai? D’Andre Swift is also back. Will the weather allow Chicago’s […]
