Crew SC win conference title, will host MLS championship Sunday

The New York Red Bulls appeared to have the storybook ending to a fantastic season already written, but reality brought an abrupt end on Sunday in front of a sellout crowd (25,219) at home. Columbus Crew SC advanced to the 2015 MLS Cup with a 2-1 aggregate victory in the Eastern Conference Championship. New York’s […]

Bengals smack Rams 31-7

On the way to becoming the first Bengals team to go 9-2 in the 16-game era, they authored another Paul Brown Stadium defensive special spiced by cornerback Leon Hall’s 19-yard interception return for a touchdown during Sunday’s 31-7 victory over the Rams. It secured the Bengals’ club-record fifth straight winning season, all under quarterback Andy […]

Buckeyes whip Michigan 42-13

Ezekiel Elliott ran through, around and past Michigan’s defense a week after running his mouth. Elliott had 214 yards rushing and two touchdowns, helping No. 8 Ohio State rout the 10th-ranked Wolverines 42-13 on Saturday. The Buckeyes (11-1, 7-1 Big Ten, No. 8 CFP) have won 12 of the last 14 games in what has […]

Cavaliers beat Magic 117-103

Despite being down four of their top eight rotation players, it’d be a misnomer to call these Cavaliers “shorthanded.” And it’d be disrespectful to a young Magic squad that found themselves overmatched by Cleveland’s undermanned lineup. Still without Kyrie Irving and Iman Shumpert – and missing Mo Williams and Timofey Mozgov on Monday night – […]

Crew SC smacks Red Bulls 2-0 to kick off Conference Title playoff

Thanks to the fastest goal in Audi MLS Cup Playoffs history by Justin Meram and a late tap-in from Kei Kamara for his 25th goal in all competitions this season, Columbus Crew SC blanked the New York Red Bulls 2-0 at MAPFRE Stadium. The win gives Crew SC the advantage heading to Red Bull Arena, […]

Cardinals beat Bengals 34-31

After the Bengals erased a 14-point deficit in the fourth quarter to tie the game with 1:03 left when Mike Nugent hit a 43-yard field goal from the right hash to tie it at 31, Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer hit three passes to put his team in field-goal position. Then when Bengals nose tackle Domata […]

Michigan State knocks off Ohio State 17-14

Playing without its star quarterback, Michigan State put the defending national champions on the outside looking in at the College Football Playoff race. Michael Geiger kicked a 41-yard field goal as time expired and No. 9 Michigan State, playing without injured Connor Cook, beat No. 2 Ohio State 17-14 Saturday to snap the Buckeyes’ 23-game […]

Sharks beat Blue Jackets 5-3

After picking up their fifth straight win in Pittsburgh last night defeating the Penguins 3-1, the San Jose Sharks arrived in Columbus looking to secure a perfect 6-0 road trip for the first time in franchise history. Patrick Marleau opened the scoring for the Sharks at 16:27 into the first, but the Blue Jackets turned […]

Cavaliers beat Bucks 115-100

The Cavaliers – who haven’t lost at home this year and came into Thursday’s matchup having won 25 of their last 26 – put their two-game losing streak to rest, taking a three-point lead midway through the first period and not looking back to take the 115-100 win at The Q. LeBron James led Cleveland […]

Senators shut down Blue Jackets 3-0

The Blue Jackets haven’t had much difficulty starting games well under John Tortorella. Somewhere between the start and finish, they have occasionally been guilty of losing their way – and that was the case in Thursday night’s game against the Ottawa Senators at Canadian Tire Centre. Their start was strong once again, and they put […]
