The AJ Brown may not ever end until he is out of Philadelphia. It seems everyone is trying to guess and figure out what his next move is going to be. Brown is clearly not happy in Philadelphia despite winning a Super Bowl in 2025. Brown and the Eagles were eliminated from the 2025-26 playoffs […]

Jim Harbaugh and the Los Angeles Chargers are trying to move on from another terrible showing in the playoffs.

MLB Free Agency drags on longer than any other sport. Many players wait until right before spring training to sign with their new teams.
