Week 2 of the NFL preseason continues Saturday night which means you get my Cardinals vs. Colts predictions.
Neither team is likely to play their starters after two days of joint practices but the edge should go to the Colts in the opening half.
Let’s get into the best NFL picks for this preseason game on August 17.
Cardinals vs Colts prediction
My best betColts first half -0.5 (-108 at DraftKings)
My analysisAfter two days of joint practices, the Indianapolis Colts have already announced that none of the starters will play in this game and will instead play next week in the preseason finale. Joe Flacco will also not be playing on Saturday night. This means that Sam Ehlinger will get the start at quarterba…
A seven-a-side match featuring a collection of retired Wrexham pros and guests against a team of mostly retired US women’s players isn’t particularly newsworthy. But when the score wound up 12-0 in favor of the men, the knives were out.
Some outlets, notably Fox News, either ignorantly or deliberately misidentified the American players as “the US women’s team”. Some played up Heather O’Reilly’s playful callout of Wrexham’s celebrity owner Ryan Reynolds as a hysterical, delusional fit. From newsrooms to their parents’ basements, men rejoiced at the supposed humbling of women who dared to demand a place in the sports marketplace.

ถ้าใครสังเกตดี ๆ ก็จะพบว่าองค์ประกอบภายในเกม Zenless Zone Zero นั้นมีหลาย ๆ อย่างแอบย้อนยุคอยู่พอสมควร เช่น การที่ตัวเอกเปิดร้านเช่าวิดีโอ, ตัวละครยังไม่มีสมาร์ทโฟนใช้กัน รวมไปถึงแผ่นเสียงภายในเกม และโทรทัศน์แบบจอตู้ แต่ก็ไม่ได้ดูย้อนยุคจนเกินไป คลับคล้ายคลับคลากับช่วงชีวิตยุค 90-2000 ก็ไม่ต�…
พูดถึงเกมซีรีส์ Smash Bros. แล้วก็ต้องยอมรับเลยว่าการมาถึงของภาค Special นั้นเป็นอะไรที่ยิ่งใหญ่มากๆ เพราะมีการนำเสนอคอนเทนต์ตัวละครนักสู้แบบครอสโอเวอร์ชนิดที่ว่าอุ่นหนาฝาคั่งไม่ว่าจะเป็นค่าย CAPCOM, BANDAI Namco หรือ SEGA ที่เป็นพรรคพวกหลักและใกล้ชิดกันมานาน หรือจะเป็นค่าย SNK ที่มาพร้อมกับลายเส้นอย่า�…
A banner backing a woman who claims to have been sexually assaulted by Cristiano Ronaldo was flown over Old Trafford stadium during the footballer’s first game back at Manchester United on Saturday.
The banner, which read “Believe Kathryn Mayorga,” referred to allegations of rape made against the Portuguese international footballer in 2009.
Feminist campaign group Level Up claimed responsibility for the stunt.
Mayorga has claimed the player assaulted her in a hotel suite bedroom after she met him in a nightclub in Las Vegas. Ronaldo maintains the sex was consensual.
Mayorga is currently trying to pursue a civil claim after the criminal complaint was dismissed…
One of the easiest and most misleading pieces of footballing received wisdom is that everything is cyclical. Wait long enough, the great drum of history will revolve again and the same ideas will come back round, be that sharp side-partings, the back three, Howard Webb apologising to Brighton or Roy Hodgson managing Crystal Palace. Except time is not a flat circle. Each iteration is different because it comes with knowledge of what went before.
Watch Manchester City in possession. They have a centre-forward and two wide men. They have Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva or Ilkay Gündogan as “free 8s”, essentially old-fashioned inside-forwards. They like to have five outfielders behind the ball, who will usually form a trapezoid shape: a …
The National Women’s Soccer League expansion team in Boston apologized on Wednesday for a ‘Too Many Balls’ marketing campaign that drew a harsh reaction from the transgender community and others.
A day after unveiling the slogan as part of the rollout of the team name BOS Nation FC, the organization posted on X that “we missed the mark” with an attempt to “create a bold and buzzworthy brand launch campaign”.
“We fully acknowledge that the content of the campaign did not reflect the safe and welcoming environment we strive to create for all,” the team said, “and we apologize to the LGBTQ+ community and to the trans community in particular for the hurt we caused.”
The ne…
The Penguins might be the most-watched team in the league this season. When you trade for the reigning Norris Trophy winner, surefire Hall of Famer, and d-man who changed how the position is viewed in Erik Karlsson, to add to your collection of three Hall of Famers already, fans are going to want to see the amalgamation. Add to that the urgency that the trade signals — the Pens will probably only get one more serious run with Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, and Kris Letang — and the bright lights are definitely going to be projected onto the Pens for all 82. Perhaps the most exciting aspect of the Pens is just what the power play may look like with all four players on it. Sure, it could be kind of a wonky fit, given that three of the four players are right-handed, and that Letang and …
Folks, college football is BACK this Saturday. True, the college season starts with its usual slate of underwhelming matchups featuring ninth-place Mountain West teams, but still: FOOTBALL! I think this calls for a celebration, don’t you? In fact, I think this calls for a roast of every despicable, corrupt team ready to pollute campuses all across the country for yet another season. Yes, it’s time to fire up the Hater’s Guide to the Top 25. And here’s the part where I let you down by telling you we’re doing it in podcast form. STOP GROANING. Anyway, that’s the subject of a very special edition of the Deadcast. And don’t worry! Even though Notre Dame isn’t in the Top 25, we still found a way to insult them. Join Marchman, Dom, and I for a carnival of ignorance and loathing…
Some people are fans of the Minnesota Vikings. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Minnesota Vikings. This 2014 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group.
Your team: Minnesota Vikings
Your 2013 record: 5-10-1. And what a 5-10-1! No one squeezes as much misery out of five wins as the Vikings do. The best part of the season was a miracle catch-and-run by Cord Patterson…
…which was immediately followed by the defense somehow allowing Joe Flacco to drive the entire length of the field to score the winning touchdown in the span of 30 fucking seconds. The Vikings had a statistically estimated
0% chance of losing that game after Patterson's touchdown. And they lost. They also lost to Cleveland. They beat the Skins despite taking timeouts …
