Jesus Gomez hits late 23-yard field goal to lift Arizona State past No. 24 TCU, 27-24

September 26, 2025

Jesus Gomez kicked a 23-yard field goal with 1:14 left and Arizona State rallied from a 17-point deficit to beat No. 24 TCU 27-24. The Sun Devils were down 17-0 in the second quarter before rallying behind Sam Leavitt and Jordyn Tyson. Leavitt threw his second touchdown pass to Tyson, from 4 yards with 1:50 left, and Prince Dorbuh followed with a strip sack of TCU’s Josh Hoover, setting up Arizona State at TCU’s 15. Gomez, who missed two earlier field goals, split the uprights after the Sun Devils originally lined up to go for it on fourth-and-inches. Arizona State’s Martell Hughes sealed it with the second interception of Hoover.

Cardinals’ Marvin Harrison Jr. shows mercurial side with TD, bobbled pass against Seahawks

September 25, 2025

Marvin Harrison Jr. soared above a defensive back, snagged the ball at the high point and pulled it down for a key touchdown in Arizona’s comeback attempt. The Cardinals’ second-year receiver didn’t celebrate, opting instead to kneel with an arm over the front of his helmet before jogging off the field. After the first half he had, Harrison seemed more relieved than excited about pulling down a highlight-reel touchdown. Harrison caught a touchdown pass and had a pair of key catches on Arizona’s final drive, but also bobbled a pass that led to a first-half interception in the Cardinals’ 23-20 loss to the Seattle Seahawks

Precision and power: Boston’s Aroldis Chapman still dominating at 37

September 8, 2025

Aroldis Chapman has a reputation as a power pitcher, built through 16 years of routinely popping 100 mph on the radar gun. As Boston Red Sox closer has gotten older, the 37-year-old added craftiness to the power, baffling hitters by locating sliders and splitters that leave them flailing. The combination led to a rare four-strikeout inning against the Arizona Diamondbacks and one of the most dominating runs by a reliever in baseball history. Chapman joined elite company with his four strikeouts in the ninth inning against Arizona after Ildemaro Vargas reached on a wild pitch. The left-hander has not allowed a hit in 17 straight appearances over 14 2/3 innings, the third-longest run since 1901.

The Engine: Alyssa Thomas driving new-look Phoenix Mercury near the top of WNBA standings

August 20, 2025

Alyssa Thomas has been revving up the Phoenix Mercury. The player nicknamed The Engine has been the perfect fit for first-year coach Nate Tibbetts’ free-flowing offense, pushing the Mercury near the top of the WNBA standings even though they lost Diana Taurasi and Brittney Griner. Thomas earned her sixth WNBA All-Star nod in her first season in the desert and has become a top MVP candidate. Thomas leads the WNBA with 9.0 assists and is third with 8.6 rebounds per game while averaging 16.1 points. She’s also racked up five triple-doubles.
