Labor unions break record with losing streak A Union player finally got his payoff last night. A player who fans had incredible expectations of when he signed, a player who was waiting for his moment in the sun (or in Philadelphia's case last night in the rain). I'm talking about Thai Balibo Of course, he notched his first career hat trick last night in a 5-1 win over the New England Revolution.

With player recruiting, a new 12-team College Football Playoff, and races for individual prizes, the mode is packed with depth. It's entirely possible to run multiple dynasties with different schools at the same time, each presenting their own challenges based on their starting point. With that in mind, I've been playing EACF 25 multiple times, combing through the roster to find compelling options for the dynasty mode experience. The following five schools ranked highly due to a number of factors: Tip:…

In July 2016, I wrote a column for The Ring magazine calling for five bouts in women's boxing that needed to happen immediately. Heather Hardy vs. Shelley Vincent. Ended. Cecilia Braeks vs Erica Farias. The end. The other two bouts, Amanda Serrano vs. Jelena Mrjenovic and Delphine Persoon vs. Layla McCarter, never ended up happening, but perhaps what disappointed me most was not getting to see Seniesa Estrada vs. Kenya Henriques. Two out of five isn't bad, but it's not good either, especially considering Enriquez and the eight years of her career that followed. In 2016, Enriquez and Estrada shared…
