Blue Jackets Beat Flames 2-1

Blue Jackets coach Todd Richards was asked post-game when he knew that tonight’s game would be different. “Right from the first shift,” he said. And he turned to one of his go-to units to start things off in Calgary – Ryan Johansen, RJ Umberger and Nick Foligno were reunited earlier this week and they were […]

Wizards Beat Cavaliers 98-91

Just 12 games into the season, in many ways, the Cavaliers already are in late-season form. Already, they’ve called a players-only meeting. On Wednesday, they were booed heartily by their own impatient and unsatisfied fans. And for some added drama, they had to rely upon some stifling, late-game defense and old standby, Kyrie Irving, for […]

U.S. Men Fall 1-0 in Final 2013 Match

The U.S. Men’s National Team fell to Austria 1-0 at Ernst-Happel-Stadion to cap off its 2013 campaign. Austria’s Marc Janko scored the game’s lone goal in the 33rd minute after a nice attacking build-up from the hosts.

Oilers Destroy Blue Jackets 7-0

Derek MacKenzie had a point-blank scoring chance in the opening minute of Tuesday’s game, and it might have been the Blue Jackets’ best opportunity of the game. It was that kind of night for Columbus, but it can’t be seen as anything other than a step backward after their solid effort Sunday in Ottawa. The […]

Bengals Pounce on Browns’ Errors to Win 41-20

In true AFC North fashion against a backdrop only the Weather Channel could love in a blustery, on-again, off-again second-half rain, the 7-4 Bengals seized control of the division with a 41-20 victory over the Browns courtesy of defense and special teams before a drip-dry gathering of 63,856 at sold-out Paul Brown Stadium. A deflected […]

Buckeyes Beat Illinois 60-35

Breaking into the open field for a late, long touchdown run Saturday at Illinois, Ohio State running back Carlos Hyde wondered why it hadn’t all come this easy for the Buckeyes. Hyde finished the day with the kind of numbers that usually come with an easy win: 248 yards rushing with four touchdowns on the […]

Blue Jackets Beat Senators 4-1

Derek MacKenzie summed up Sunday’s game thusly: “It was an honest effort, and we got an honest result.” The Blue Jackets had all hands on deck – no passengers this afternoon at the Canadian Tire Centre – and got back to playing their relentless, in-your-face brand of hockey in a 4-1 win over a Senators […]

Georgia Downs Lady Buckeyes 53-49

The Ohio State women’s basketball team dropped its first game of the season, 53-49, at No. 22 Georgia Sunday at the Stegeman Coliseum in Athens. The Buckeyes led 33-29 at the break, but a 14-2 run by the Lady Dogs to start the second half helped pave the way for the victory. Ohio State had […]
