One of the largest publications in sports, Sports Illustrated, has announced a new publisher. It’s an interesting choice, and one could argue not the wisest given their new hire’s controversial past. The editorial content of the magazine, now in its 65th year, will soon be controlled by Seattle-based digital media company Maven, with former Los Angeles Times publisher Ross Levinsohn being named CEO. The appointment could be called into question considering that Levinsohn has a long history of making waves. A March 2018 NPR...

Nearly 18 million people will wager $3.9 billion at a sportsbook establishment (4.1 million people), online (5.2 million, likely at illegal offshore sites) or with a bookie (2.4 million) o...
The first two Maine Black Bear possessions were not a good sign in last Saturday's Football Championship Subdivision football semifinal playoff game at Roos Field. First, a 46-yard field goal attempt on Maine's opening drive fluttered to a halt short and wide left of the goalposts. Next came the first of two Josh Lewis interceptions, deep in Black Bear territory, that, one play later, resulted in an Eastern Washington touchdown. The visitors from 3,000 miles away, and...

In a season marked by a handful of rallies on the way to an 11-2 record, Eastern Washington took last Saturday's to another level.

Dylan Ledbetter's finger popped the filling balloon of Nicholls State last Saturday and the air gushed out of the Colonels. With his team trailing 14-3 and hoping not to be further behind as the first half came to a close, Ledbetter got his hand -perhaps just a finger - on an attempted 37-yard field goal by Lorran Fonseca. Whatever, it was just enough to send the ball caroming onto the red turf where it was first bobbled by Nzuzi Webster and finally scooped up by Kedrick...

For a team that lost their top two scorers from a year ago, it certainly did not show for the Medical Lake girls basketball team. The Cardinals raced by the 2B Liberty Lancers 47-34 at home on Friday, Nov. 30, and then traveled to Okanogan the following afternoon where they crushed the Caribou Trail 1A Bulldogs 63-30....
Speed got the better of size, and nothing seemed to make up for "bus legs" for the Medical Lake boys who earned a split in their opening weekend of nonleague basketball play. The Cardinals opened play at home Friday, Nov. 30, earning a 73-65 win over the perennial 2B powers, Liberty Lancers. Saturday was a 150-mile one-way bumpy bus ride to face Okanogan, losing to the 1A Bulldogs from the Caribou Trail league, 76-68....
Two games that went into overtime delivered a split for the Eastern Washington men's basketball team last weekend and the Eagles first victory of the young season. Behind the career-high effort - and clutch shooting of Jesse Hunt - Eastern rallied to tie the game and go on to defeat the University of Missouri-Kansas City 87-80, Saturday, Nov. 17 at Reese Court in the consolation game of the 2K Empire Classic benefitting the Wounded Warrior Project. Eastern was relegated to...
Eastern Washington added a large exclamation point, and a big dose of hurt on the Portland State Vikings, in the Eagles return to the top of the Big Sky Conference football standings. Scoring the game's first 14 points in less than nine minutes, and then outscoring PSU 27-7 in the third quarter, Eastern rolled to a 74-23 win at Hillsboro Stadium in Hillsboro, Ore. The win earned them a three-way tie for the conference championship with Weber State and UC Davis, all with 7-1...
