The Baltimore Ravens have gotten used to big matchups against the NFL’s elites early in the 2024 season.

Now, Baltimore has […]

The Dallas Cowboys, who are supposed to be one of the best teams in the NFL, have lost back-to-back games. Meanwhile, their NFC East rival, the New York Giants, are coming off of a win. That makes their Week 4 matchup a crucial one. The two teams, who have both only beaten the Cleveland Browns, […]

For years, big threes were all of the rage in the NBA. During the 2000s-2010s, most championship teams had a trio of star talent that led them to victory, and the rest of the roster was usually filled out with role players and depth pieces. The Boston Celtics won a championship this way with Paul […]

It feels like just yesterday that the Boston Celtics won the NBA Finals. They won their league-record 18th championship largely because they drafted and developed elite talent. It took a number of trades to get them over the edge and finally allow the core to take the next step and win it all, though. The […]

The Boston Celtics just won the NBA Finals, so the team rewarded Jayson Tatum with the largest contract in NBA history. The team extended their star player’s contract for five years and $315 million. This massive deal comes only a year after his teammate, Jaylen Brown, signed a contract extension that was the biggest deal […]

When fans talk about the best NBA draft classes ever, they usually talk about 2003, 1996, and 1984. We shouldn’t forget about the 2011 NBA Draft, though. While there were some massive busts in that draft class, 2011 will forever be remembered for the superstar talent it produced. The stars in this class combined for […]

NBA 2k25 is the top basketball video game in the market. Giannis Antetokounmpo is a freak of nature who seems like he comes straight out of a video game. He is a big reason why the Milwaukee Bucks are a fun team to play as in 2k, but the team’s depth and star power ensures […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder’s roster is an NBA 2K25 fan’s dream. The team is stacked with talent from top to bottom.

There […]

The Denver Nuggets are now a season removed from winning the NBA Finals, and they have lost some very talented players since that time (Bruce Brown, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope). The team’s starting five is still stacked with talent, though, which makes them a must-play-with team in NBA 2k25. The best basketball video game on the market […]

For the second straight week, Thursday Night Football will consist of an AFC East clash. This time, the New England Patriots will take on the New York Jets. The AFC East has been filled with long winning/losing streak. Last Thursday, the Bills won for the 12th time out of the last 13 tries over the […]

It is well known that NFL receivers like to get paid. Contract holdouts have become the norm in recent years for players at the position group, but the biggest star pass-catchers in the NFL do deserve huge paydays. Currently, Ja’Marr Chase is seeking a new contract. He held out during training camp/the preseason, but he […]

No two NFL teams improved more in the 2024 offseason than the Chicago Bears and Houston Texans.

UFC 306 is set up to be one of the biggest events in combat sports history, not just on the UFC’s calendar in 2024. The event is such a big deal because it will be the first live sporting event in the Sphere in Las Vegas, Nevada. UFC 306 is coined “Riyadh Season Noche,” and […]

Offense is of the utmost importance in the NFL, but someone has to stop all of the talent from scoring these days. A number of superstar players have emerged on the defensive end of the football in recent years, and these players are being paid handsomely, too. Whether the highest-paid players are game-wrecking edge rushers […]

The AFC East was run by the New England Patriots for around two decades. That is no longer the case, and the Buffalo Bills and Miami Dolphins are now two of the biggest powerhouses in the NFL. Their rivalry will be put to the test in the first official Thursday Night Football game of the […]

Running back is one of the most important positions in football, but teams across the NFL don’t always treat players at this spot like they are important. In recent years, the position has been devalued because many general managers think ball carriers are replaceable. Not to mention, the injury risk for running backs is high, […]

The quarterback position is the most important in football, so it should come as no surprise that players at the position are so handsomely paid. In fact, the 10 biggest contracts in NFL history, regardless of position, all belong to current quarterbacks. Dak Prescott is one player who has one of the biggest contracts ever […]

The first Sunday of football during the NFL season is a big deal every year, but this year was even more event-filled than usual because of contract drama around the league.

Not everything went perfectly for the Cleveland Browns last season. Most notably, five different players started at the quarterback position for the Browns in 2023. Despite this, the team went on a surprise run, which included a four-game winning streak and a playoff berth led by Joe Flacco. Largely without their highly-paid quarterback, Deshaun Watson, […]

The Denver Broncos have not been predicted to win that many games this year. In fact, the line on their win total in 2024 is only 5.5. Broncos fans hope that Bo Nix is the franchise saver who can turn the program around after years of mediocre to bad play. The Broncos took Nix in […]

The best football players in the world play in the NFL, and right now, the league is as deep with superstar talent as ever.

The first NFL game of the 2024 season is set to be a doozy.

There is tons of depth at the receiver position in Fantasy Football for the 2024 season. Because of that, some pass catchers are falling way further than they should in fantasy drafts. These undervalued receivers will provide great value to Fantasy Football teams because their average draft position (ADP) shouldn’t be nearly as low as […]

The NFL season is just around the corner, and now, all 32 teams have officially named their starting quarterbacks for Week 1. Only three different quarterbacks have won the MVP award over the last six seasons, so there is clearly elite talent at the most important position in the NFL. However, the signal-caller position is […]

The quarterback position is the highest scoring in Fantasy Football. Although QBs are rarely taken at the top of fantasy drafts, they are still important in winning league championships. Signal-callers are more replaceable in fantasy sports than other positions, but you still need a high-scoring one to be able to win games, and busts at […]

The running back position is immensely valuable in Fantasy Football, and securing star players at the position in your league in 2024 is of the utmost importance. However, the nature of the position leaves ball carriers vulnerable to injury, and you don’t want a devastating injury to cost you your Fantasy Football league championship. Therefore, […]

That means that 37 players from each team lost their jobs and didn’t accomplish […]

For years, Fantasy Football players did whatever they could to secure the first or second-best tight ends in their Fantasy Football leagues because there weren’t many good tight ends behind them. That philosophy is changing, though, as the tight end position has gotten much deeper in recent years. Last year, in particular, was a breakout […]
