In a “must-win game,” it takes all hands on deck to steer the ship in the right direction. Whether or not the NBA Cup is worthy of must-win status is up for debate, but in a game that could have decided whether the San Antonio Spurs advance past group play, the team received contributions up […]
How are we here already? It’s the last game of the regular season. It’s Iowa. At Home. The Huskers are sure to leave it all on the field. #1 THIRD TIMES THE CHARM This is Matt Rhule’s third game against Iowa and while he was not successful in the first two attempts, this is obviously […]
I’m thankful the Chicago Bulls can’t ruin our holiday by losing to one of the worst teams in the league by double digits! In all seriousness, as my overwhelmingly busy 2025 winds down, I have a long list of things to be thankful for. I will not bother you with all the personal details right now, but I’d like everyone who stops by here at BN to know that you’re right near the top of my list. It’s been an utter joy and privilege to be with this site for as long as I have. The Bulls haven’t ...

Now that the season is over and our attention has turned to football and turkey, we finally have time to reflect on some of the hits and misses from 2025. During the World Series, MLB tweeted that there was “royalty” in the front row, accompanied by a picture of Prince Harry and a woman I […]
Great game and win from the Celtics. It always amazes me when fans turn on their own players. They were all puffed up to begin the game but hated on every player, including Cade, at the end. I love Payton Pritchard. The kid plays so hard. Shortest guy on the court got that last rebound after the missed free throw. Opinion was mixed on the Celtics' court. Some hated it and some loved it. Poor Jaylen wiill never live that hairline gaff down. The "C...
The Milwaukee Bucks locked in to post their best defensive rating of the young season, but couldn’t get their offence to hum at the same time against the Miami Heat, losing 106-103 in South Beach.

I’m not typically one to celebrate “Thanksgiving” in the traditional sense. Don’t get me wrong. I’m more than happy to enjoy time off from work and be around loved ones. However, I prefer to acknowledge the “checkered history” (generously speaking) and real origins of Thanksgiving. It’s a part of America’s very real history. That said, […]

This is my somewhat annual Thanksgiving Day piece. I say” somewhat” annual because I don’t believe I have done this every year at this time – though I could be mistaken. I often am. Before I start with the things I am thankful for, I find it odd when people say, “If I don’t see you […]
Liverpool very much appear to be a broken side. Having started the 2025-26 season off under the shadow of the tragic passing of Diogo Jota.
