[…]
Some “niche sports” thoughts as I watch some golf and soccer: • The World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship, played at the Blue Monster at Doral, is our first opportunity of 2016 to see the best players from around the world in the same event. Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy, and Jason Day are all in the same […]
The Pittsburgh Riverhounds kicked off their 2016 preseason schedule Saturday evening with a 2-1 win at Penn State University. South African playmaker Lebo Moloto notched the Hounds’ first goal of the year on the stroke of halftime with a well-controlled volley into the far corner from Stephen Okai’s chip into the penalty area. Two unsigned […]
Congratulations to Rob Vincent. The (former) Pittsburgh Riverhounds midfielder is now a member of MLS’s DC United. The terms of the deal between the two sides are undisclosed. The chatter indicates the return will be cash rather than players, but we’ll wait and see. As a myopic Riverhounds fan, that’s a bummer. From any other […]
5000-1. Five THOUSAND to one. If you live somewhere with legalized sports betting, those were the odds you could have gotten by betting on Leicester City to win the English Premier League before the 2015-2016 season began. At this time one year ago, Leicester City was in dead last place in the Premier League; every […]
The United Soccer League unveiled their full schedule for the 2016 season, and the ever-expanding league’s 29 teams will contest a total of 435 regular-season matches between March 25th and September 25th. Here are a few things that caught my attention from the Riverhounds schedule: · The Hounds will play 30 regular season games this […]
January and February are undoubtedly the dog days of the sports fan’s year. The weather is lousy, the Steelers bowed out of the playoffs, pitchers and catchers are still a month away from reporting to spring training, and the Penguins continue to disappointingly grind through their eighty-two game regular season before the games really start […]
Roster turnover is a reality of life in USL, and the Pittsburgh Riverhounds are not immune. As the calendar turned to 2016, most Hounds supporters would tell you that the club needed to improve three areas in particular before the upcoming campaign: goalkeeper, central defense, and striker. Over the last few days, the club has […]

Rivalry games are the best. No matter the sport or the circumstance, a win over a rival feels so much sweeter than a run-of-the-mill victory. That’s not a groundbreaking thought. In fact, it’s stupidly obvious, but I’ve been thinking about rivalries a lot in recent days. Why do we get so much satisfaction from beating […]

The local soccer club made the playoffs, and they kept it interesting right to the end. I would not have expected anything else from the 2015 Pittsburgh Riverhounds.

The middle of the pack is crowded in USL’s Eastern Conference. There are six teams within […]
