The Kansas City Chiefs have been the class of the AFC for the better part of a half-decade, but that has not stopped them from getting creative ahead of their Divisional Round matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars Saturday afternoon.

Sometimes the relief of not losing is greater than the joy of winning. Alabama head coach Nick Saban has already completed a college football portfolio that would have him among the greatest coaches of all time.

The path for the New York Giants has never been an easy one. However, it is the road less traveled that has often been most successful for the franchise, just when seemingly everyone counts them out.

Defensive tackle Kenny Clark was one such player who fell short of expectations on an individual level and is now taking time to reflect. “I was up and down,” Clark told […]

Nikola Jokic has made greatness boring. Just ask his Denver Nuggets teammate Jamal Murray, who was not shocked at all after witnessing Jokic post a dominant 30-point triple-double in a 122-113 victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. Jokic again defied what is normal for the center position, or just any position at all. Murray has become […]
