Ah, hope. It’s what keeps us going back every week, isn’t it? Back in the summer of 2005, we had hope in abundance. Fresh off the back of winning the Championship title, we were arming ourselves ready for a return to the top flight, and we had no idea just how bad the season was going to be.

It’s here – and it’s a beauty! After months of waiting since rumours first started about hummel partnering with the club we have now seen their new home design for the 2024-25 campaign, and the initial response has been very favourable. Phil West and some of the roundtable lads Sunderland x Hummel: They’re back! - Roker Report (sbnation.com) Sunderland’s new Hummel gear — “Take my money!” or “I’ll pass, thanks”? - Roker Report (sbnation.com) have already had their say on the latest red and white stripes and they are not alone in their praise based on social media responses, but as a self-confessed Sunderland kit geek I thought I would add to the reaction with some observations of my own.

Latest Sunderland kit is a red and white delight!

A Dodgers ball boy made the play of a lifetime on Wednesday when he made a bare-handed catch of a ball that was rocketing towards the bullpen — or perhaps more accurately, rocketing towards Shohei Ohtani’s head. Ohtani hit the deck immediately, realizing that the errant ball was...

The 2024 NBA Draft is hardly the most anticipated in league history, but it’s important to remember that even weak drafts have plenty of good players. Take 2013, for instance: Anthony Bennett was an all-time bust at No. 1 overall, but there was a future two-time league MVP in Giannis Antetokounmpo and four-time Defensive Player of the Year in Rudy Gobert taken outside of the lottery.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.

The U.S. Senior Open is at Newport Country Club, and something truly historic happened during the second round on Friday morning. It is such a rare accomplishment to record a hole-in-one, much less two in a round. For Frank Bensel Jr., though, he made back-to-back holes-in-one during the second round...

Why Idaho Ranks in the Top 10 States Americans Are Flocking To in 2024. A lot of Idahoans are saying 'Idaho is FULL! Go find somewhere else to live!'. With that said, MANY people and their families are flocking to this state and calling it home.

Firstly, can I wish Mr. Le Bris the very best in his new role. At last, hopefully, we have someone at the helm to steer what has been (over the end of last season) a rudderless ship with no captain. All we need now, as everyone has been shouting for, is a forward to lead what I believe to be a darn good young team — a team given the right format and a couple of older players, including a forward, to guide them on a journey up the league.

The decision by the Memphis Grizzlies to take Zach Edey with the No. 9 pick in the NBA Draft was easily the most divisive decision of the top-10. To some, Edey is a prolific college powerhouse, a dominant talent who was a no-brainer, others see a physically-limited, low-upside center who will be eaten alive by the NBA’s athleticism. But no matter which side of the fence you fall on, there’s no debating that Edey is a genuinely great dude.

The 2023 NBA Draft certainly lacked intrigue, at least when it came to the first-overall selection. For months Victor Wembayama was locked into the top spot on every draft board, and when the San Antonio Spurs won the 2023 NBA Draft lottery it was clear: Wembymania was headed to the Lone Star State, and the draft began in earnest at No. 2.
