Reports have been swirling that former New England Patriots superstar wideout and Super Bowl MVP Julian Edelman is set to retire, following a heavily-decorated 12-year NFL career.

Everything isn’t perfect for Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and the Boston Celtics. They are 27-26 on the season, thanks to an edge-of-your-seat 145-136 overtime win on Friday night at the Garden against the lowly Minnesota Timberwolves. But in the struggle came some magic. With 18 seconds left in regulation, Brown ignored an easy score for […]

Now 34 games into his Brooklyn Nets career, James Harden has acclimated himself nicely in his new home: averaging 25.4 points, 11.0 assists, and a career-high 8.7 rebounds per game.

As one of the most improved all-around college basketball players of the 2020-21 season, the news that Baylor Bears star Davion Mitchell is entering the 2021 NBA Draft should come as no surprise.

Playing in his first full season since 2015, Carolina Panthers quarterback Teddy Bridgewater put up admirable numbers, including career bests in passing yards (3,733), completion percentage (69.1%), passing touchdowns (15), rushing (279) and rushing touchdowns (5). However, after acquiring New York Jets quarterback and 2018 No. 3 pick Sam Darnold for three draft picks, is […]

Looks like the cat’s out of the bag at Coors Field. Friday night in Denver and with the Colorado Rockies trailing the Los Angeles Dodgers 11-6 after 7 1/2, the Rockies needed something—anything—to brighten spirits of MLB fans.

The UCLA Bruins are aware that most everyone has the undefeated Gonzaga Bulldogs winning it all next Monday in the 2021 NCAA championship game, in what would be a perfect coronation for Mark Few’s good men.

Has “Old Man Time” finally caught up to Los Angeles Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw? If Thursday’s Opening Day performance against the Colorado Rockies was any indication: maybe. After 5 2/3 innings, Clayton Kershaw had posted two strikeouts and one walk, but had given up 10 hits and six runs — five earned — on 77 […]

In terms of the Los Angeles Rams mythos, the Sean McVay era has borne beautiful fruit. He’s a 35-year-old NFL coach and offensive savant, with a golden fleece over his shoulder. There are presidential terms that don’t see half the success McVay has in the last four years, where he’s 43-21 in the regular season […]

For 15 NFL seasons, lifetime New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan terrorized opposing offenses, filling the gaps with a relentless pass rush that led to 141.5 sacks (sixth-most in league history).

While the coronavirus global pandemic still rages, a light seems to be appearing at the end of the tunnel. Once outside the tunnel, comes the potential for roaring fans. All of them, at least that’s what NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is thinking for the 2021 season. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero passed along Goodell’s comments on the matter […]

Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert knows a thing or two about defense. After all, the Frenchman — aptly nicknamed “The Stifle Tower” — is a two-time NBA Defensive “Player of the Year” (2018, 2019) and four-time NBA All-Defensive First Team. But following Friday night’s 117-114 edge-of-the-seat win against the growing Memphis Grizzlies (where he finished […]

After finishing 13-3 and into the AFC Championship Game, the Buffalo Bills find themselves as one of the luckier teams heading into the 2021 campaign.

After San Diego Padres supernova shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr left Tuesday’s exhibition game against the Cincinnati Reds with mild shoulder discomfort, there was some concern he wouldn’t be ready for Opening Day on April 1.

The idea of college athletes earning improved and due compensation isn’t some new idea. However, it still hasn’t happened in the NCAA, with headway in the matter seemingly stalled. It’s high-time for that to change. Why pay student-athletes? Aren’t scholarships enough? One of the more flimsy, common arguments against compensating student-athletes relies upon these half-hearted […]

Steve Kerr and the Golden State Warriors will finally welcome back their most impactful frontcourt players tonight against the Philadelphia 76ers — when rookie James Wiseman and second-year star Eric Paschall resume action after a three-game absence due to COVID-19 protocols.

Are things going to be awkward between former, now reunited, teammates in Detroit Jared Goff, and newest Lions Michael Brockers? Not at all. The ink had barely dried on the Los Angeles Rams deal that sent Goff to Detroit for dynastic arms dealer Matthew Stafford, a ’21 third-rounder and first-rounders in ’22 and ’23. That’s […]

Retirement just didn’t suit Kyle Long, did it? No. It didn’t. And now, one week after his return to the NFL, the three-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman opted to ink a one-year, $5 million deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Former Bears' Pro Bowl guard Kyle Long, who came out […]

Has “Minshew Mania” run its course in Jacksonville? Can’t rule it out, unfortunately, as NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport noted that the Jacksonville Jaguars have been answering the phones in regards to a possible trade of their magnificently-manicured quarterback Gardner Minshew. One QB to monitor: The #Jaguars have received a few calls from teams inquiring about […]

With 2021 NFL free agency moving like molasses at some positions, former Pro Bowl defensive back and San Francisco 49ers veteran Richard Sherman is taking personal marketing matters into his own hands. Though linked to the New Orleans Saints in some circles, and for good reason, Sherman tweeted his covering credentials on Wednesday afternoon — […]

Are the Houston Texans really prepared to let its star quarterback and face-of-the-franchise Deshaun Watson sit for this season, and perhaps beyond? It seems plausible after the perennial AFC South contenders signed journeyman QB Tyrod Taylor to an incentive-laden one-year deal that could be worth more than $12 million. Before Tyrod Taylor’s ink dried, Watson […]

With nearly $20 million in cap space and three trade exceptions, it’s time for the Boston Celtics to stop saying “what if?” and start saying “who’s next?” for the Kelly Green jersey—especially if they want to keep pace in what’s becoming a frenetic race for a top-four seed in the East. So who can GM […]

Not everybody deserves a participation ribbon in the NCAA. In a field of 68 college basketball teams, the line between No.’s 65, 66, 67 and 68 is sometimes tough to draw between No.’s 69, 70, 71 and 72. And at some point, the voice of Jean-Luc Picard—captain of the Star Trek: Enterprise—resonates deep in the […]

Houston Rockets guard Kevin Porter Jr. has already experienced an up-and-down start to his NBA career. On Friday night against the Utah Jazz, though, he had himself a moment.

It has not been the best season for Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves, who once again find themselves staring into the NBA lottery abyss.
