  • Matchday 2: Arsenal at Aston Villa

    This one was personal, even if Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said otherwise. In the run up to the match, comparisons between Arteta and the Aston Villa boss, and former Gunners manager, Unai Emery were rampart, especially after Villa pulled off the double against Arsenal last season.

  • Baby Steps

    The Seattle Mariners have fired manager Scott Servais and replaced him with former catcher Dan Wilson. The firing comes on the back of an absolutely repugnant 1-8 road trip, where the team had a chance to show their fortitude, come together, win some games and get back into the postseason race. Instead, everyone failed the manager, including Servais, who failed…

  • Entertainment & IQ

    The feud between Kevin Durant-Dennis Schröder took a new twist after Schröder went on his Twitch stream and had more than a few choice words for KD after his Twitter/X post following Team USA’s gold medal victory.

  • Matchday 1: Arsenal vs. Wolves

    Arsenal won their season opener 2-0 over Wolverhampton Wanderers. This was not the prettiest match Mikel Arteta’s men have ever played but that’s expected as it is the first game of the season.

  • Team USA 2028 Roster Prediction

    The 2028 Olympics take place on home soil in sunny Los Angeles, California and will be one of the hottest tickets at the games. The home-court advantage will be bonkers (think: Team France playing in Paris). Most of the much heralded 2024 team will be long in the tooth and not involved in LA, so a major reshuffle/refresh will be…

  • Golden Generation

    Three of the most-talented basketball players of this generation, LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, were the heart and soul of Team USA. Any and all awards have been won by this trio.

  • Saved By Steph

    WOW! Team USA completed a thrilling, electrifying and rousing 17-point comeback against Serbia led by Steph Curry’s 36-point explosion. Up to this point, he’d been very quiet, verging on anonymity, scoring 7, 8, 3 and 11 points in the prior 4 games. The world’s best shooter and his role on the team were coming into question. Well, he quieted that…
