The Seattle Seahawks defense went the entire season without forcing an opposition fumble. They ended that drought in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals, turning not one but two forced fumbles into touchdowns. Both involved the same players: Tyrice Knight on the strip-sack of Jacoby Brissett, DeMarcus Lawrence running the ball back for six points. […]
The Seattle Seahawks just doubled up the Arizona Cardinals 44-22 at Lumen Field to move to 7-2, and face a second consecutive NFC West matchup in Week 11. Their opponent? The 7-2 Los Angeles Rams, who also won a laugher, hammering the San Francisco 49ers 42-26 in Santa Clara. This game has huge implications on […]
Barcelona’s midfield problems mounted on Sunday as Marc Casado was forced out of the Celta Vigo win late on due to injury, while Frenkie de Jong was shown a late red card and will now miss their next match. Hansi Flick is already without Pedri and Gavi due to injury, meaning he’s facing a real […]
The Seattle Seahawks followed up one blowout win with another, just like the good ol’ days of the Legion of Boom era. Throughout the season, the Arizona Cardinals had either won close or lost close. Seattle made sure that they would lose big at Lumen Field, racing out to a 35-0 lead before some sloppy […]
The Tennessee Titans had their best week since the win over the Arizona Cardinals this week. They saw the New York Jets, New York Giants, and Cleveland Browns all win. That gives the Titans a full game lead in the quest for the number one overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. They will look […]
The Arizona Cardinals are the worst team in the NFC West and it’s not particularly close. When the Arizona Cardinals last played the Seattle Seahawks they were competitive. A couple weeks, a quarterback change and some duct tape later and the Arizona Cardinals are embarrassed 44-22. It was not a close game. There was never […]
Another week, another blowout win for the certifiably scary Seattle Seahawks (7-2). It was a wire-to-wire beatdown of the Arizona Cardinals (3-6), who fell behind 35-0 out of the gate and looked like they were about to get that 58-0 treatment like they did in 2012. Alas, the Seahawks didn’t get the shutout and had […]
After the tough loss in the opener to BYU on Monday, the Wildcats were able to bounce back with a convincing win over Queens University of Charlotte. Villanova never trailed throughout, with its largest lead being 22 points. Leading the Wildcats once again in scoring was sophomore guard Bryce Lindsay, who poured in 25 points, […]
Former first-round pick Nick Pratto hit free agency, one of 20 Royals farmhands to become a minor league free agent. Players can become free agents after six minor league seasons if they are not placed on the 40-man roster. Around baseball, 574 players became minor league free agents, free to sign a minor league or […]
Much like the UConn game Louisville started off flat and fell behind early in the game. Luckily they were playing Northern Kentucky instead of UConn so even though NKU was a formidable opponent they didn’t create enough separation that the Cards weren’t able to overcome it when things finally got rolling in the second half. […]
For most of Sunday afternoon, the story at Soldier Field wasn’t Caleb Williams or Jaxson Dart or even the Bears’ playoff chase. It was the weather. Light snow. Sideways wind. A stadium that felt more like a wind tunnel than a football field. And in the middle of all that, the Bears and Giants traded punches in a game that kept swinging from sloppy to dramatic to downright electric. New York, losers of 10 straight road games, briefly broke through the malaise thanks to Dart’s playmaking. B...
The future arrives on Broadway: Perreault gets the call as the Rangers look for scoring, energy, and maybe a little hope.
Caleb Williams made magic happen at Soldier Field on Sunday. So, of course he was going to get a game ball from Chicago Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson after the team’s come-from-behind win against the New York Giants. Cornerback Chauncey Gardner-Johnson got one, too. But let’s make no mistake about it — this was a signature game from QB1. And as you might imagine, the postgame festivities inside the Bears locker room were absolutely lit: Hits every time. pic.twitter.com/qgvNjbC1Nh...
To say the first half has been bad for the Arizona Cardinals would be an understatement. They trailed 35-0 at one point and heading into the half they are being manhandled by the Seattle Seahawks 38-7 at the half. The 38 points scored today is the most by any team in the NFL. Do you […]
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 […]
