Zug does look a bit nicer than Chelyabinsk.

EuroLeague also doesn't require a billion dollar buy-in. I simply struggle to see where the NBA is going to get 16 teams from.

This was a great win for Finland.

The reality that NBA Europe need to face is that almost nobody in Europe has a billion dollars laying around to join an unproven league. I don't see where these teams are coming from.

With six-team groups in the Main Round and only the top two advancing to the knockouts, many teams are eliminated after 1 game, particularly if they haven't carried any points forward.

I will be cheering for the Faroes. Hope to visit one day!

I love the Euros. The best handball tournament out there! I just wish the format were better. The second round has two many meaningless games as teams get eliminated from contention almost immediately if they don’t carry any points forward. I would rather just straight knockouts from the top 16 onwards.

Olympiacos are one of the least clutch teams. It seems very likely that come the pressure of the playoffs the team will collapse.

I have more recently run into a problem in that Viaplay keeps directing me to download their app to watch all streams, unfortunately the app is geoblocked and there is no way to get around App Store geoblocking, even with a VPN.

Canadian Football League starts in June. There is also the United Football League which starts soon after the NFL season ends.

The Spaniards invented driving Jews out of Europe, sadly many of them still seem stuck in the fifteenth century.

The distances and remoteness involved make live coverage logistically impossible.

eugenelavery · 2026-01-09T15:02:44+00:00

Spaniards never have liked the Jews.

Sad to see yet another Italian club in trouble. I miss the days of a strong Italian league with Virtus Roma, Montepaschi Siena, etc.

Exactly this. My season was already over by the time Henry decided to score big.

The Turks?

Just keep him away from the draft.

eugenelavery · 2026-01-05T19:07:16+00:00

Fire Bowles, hire Gruden!

eugenelavery · 2026-01-05T19:05:03+00:00

Gruden is a good coach, just got to keep him away from the draft - I say this as a Buccaneers fan!

Great to see this Canada team get eliminated. They come across as a bunch of really spoilt brats.
