It’s hard not physically being able to do the things that you love.

However, the eccentric Thompson has found ways to keep himself sane and happy during his grueling rehab. Thompson […]

It’s no secret that a majority of the Chicago sports fanbase, including some Bulls fans, don’t like the Green Bay Packers. After all, the Packers and the Chicago Bears have a long-standing rivalry in the NFL, one of the longest in the league. Even just implying that you’re an Aaron Rodgers fan would earn you […]

Looks like Odell Beckham Jr. might just finally get his wish granted, if this recent rumor turns out to be true. Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk reports that the Cleveland Browns have “plans” to release the wide receiver, ending a week-long saga full of rumors and confusion in Cleveland. Per Florio: “The key word in this […]

Jonathan Taylor has been a bright spot in the Indianapolis Colts’ comeback from a terrible 1-4 start. The star running back has been a key contributor for the offense, leading the ground game. Now, Taylor has cemented himself as one of the premier running backs of all-time, after matching one of the legendary running backs […]

Shaquille O’Neal has beef with many of the centers today in the NBA. Most notably, the TNT analyst seems to hone in on Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert, often criticizing him and calling him out (unfairly, at times). However, this latest achievement by Gobert might knock down the former MVP down a peg. Justin Kubatko, […]

Just when you think it couldn’t get any worse for Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver, another former player came forth with a nasty allegation against him. This time, it’s Vince Carter, who claims that Sarver had instructed his players to intentionally injure the veteran guard during his return to Phoenix. In an episode of NBA […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants have had some insane matchups over the years. The two rival teams have been at the heart of some of the best games the MLB has ever seen.

With Dak Prescott missing the Dallas Cowboys’ Sunday night tilt against the Minnesota Vikings, fans were expecting a sub-optimal performance from America’s team. What they saw, though, was the Cooper Rush show, as the undrafted quarterback played his heart out and steered the Cowboys to a big 20 – 16 win over the Vikings. After […]

The Los Angeles Rams have been surging in the NFL this season, as they have started the season at an impressive 7 – 1 record. Their only loss has been to another 7 – 1 team in the Arizona Cardinals, and they’ve also beaten the defending champions, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A huge part of […]

Spooky SZN is always an interesting time for NBA fans. Why, you ask? Because once Halloween hits, the players channel their inner children and dress up in costumes! Of course, since these are multi-millionaire NBA players we’re talking about, they go absolutely nuts with their fits, rivalling those of professional cosplayers at times. With that […]

Zack Greinke is a man of many talents. He can virtually do it all on the mound, and he’s got the confidence and bravado to execute without hesitation. His latest exploit for the Houston Astros, though, exceeds anything he’s ever done, and is just so quintessentially Greinke. Down 1 – 3 in the World Series […]

Apparently, Aaron Rodgers isn’t the only quarterback that owns a different team in the NFL. Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen also seems to have a different team under his ownership… at least if we’re to go by the statistics. NFL on CBS noted this insane stat after Allen and the Bills dismantled the Miami Dolphins  […]

The New Orleans Saints may have escaped with a win over the defending champions Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but it came with an unfortunate price.

It’s spooky SZN in the NBA, and you know what that means! Our favorite NBA players get to be kids for a day and dress up like children going trick-or-treating! Well, not quite: while many NBA players do put on a costume for Halloween, some take it a step further. Case in point: Los Angeles […]

Tom Brady has it all in the NFL. MVP, Super Bowls, multiple records, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB has earned virtually every accolade he could earn. But despite his on-field success, he credits someone else in his life as the real MVP of his off-court life: Tom Brady’s wife Gisele Bundchen. In his podcast “Let’s […]

The Boston Celtics are doing… uh, not great this season. They dropped to 2 – 4 this season after losing yet ANOTHER double overtime game, this time against the Washington Wizards. It’s been a tumultuous season that involved ugly blowouts, close wins against bottom-feeding teams, and getting booed in their home stadium. Things are certainly […]

Najee Harris has been on an absolute tear for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The rookie running back has taken on an insane work load for the offense, carrying the third-most touches in the league behind Titans RB Derrick Henry and Saints RB Alvin Kamara. Instead of getting exhausted about it, though, Harris is looking forward to […]

Just when the Houston Astros looked comfortably in the lead, the Atlanta Braves swoops back in to turn it around. In Game 4 of their World Series matchup, the Braves were down 1 – 2 at the bottom of the seventh inning. 1 out in, shortstop Dansby Swanson came in clutch and hit this beautiful […]

Houston Astros star Jose Altuve has been the driving force for the Houston Astros’ success in recent years.

In Game 4 of their […]

Week 8 of the NFL started off with a bang, as two top teams in the league duked it out in an instant classic. The Arizona Cardinals and the Green Bay Packers had an absolute barnburner of a game. Sadly for Cardinals fans, the game didn’t go in their favor, as Rasul Douglas made a […]

The list of injuries grows larger and larger for the Green Bay Packers.

While going for […]

Watching sports leagues today have both been easier and harder at the same time. On one hand, big-time leagues like the NBA, NFL, and the MLB are very accessible to a lot of people. You can watch your favorite sport on any device available today… but the catch is that you have to pay a […]

The Boston Celtics are off to a disappointing start to their season. They are now 2-3 in their first five games, and their losses have been… uh, not great, to say the least. They lost a double overtime heartbreaker to the New York Knicks in their first game, then got beat up by the visiting […]

Ever since Scottie Barnes was drafted fourth overall by the Toronto Raptors in the 2021 NBA Draft, his name has been tied with Orlando Magic rookie Jalen Suggs.

Carmelo Anthony has long been regarded as one of the league’s greatest scorers. The Los Angeles Lakers forward’s latest breakthrough will only further cement this legacy of his. Anthony has surpassed NBA legend Moses Malone on the NBA’s all-time scoring list, moving to 9th overall on the list. Interestingly enough, Anthony’s 9th placement means that […]

Stephen Curry is perhaps the greatest player to ever play for the Golden State Warriors. He’s broken all the shooting records of the franchise. Now, the legendary point guard adds another record to the tally book. Warriors PR reports that Curry has notched his 5,000th career assist for the franchise. He’s the only player to […]

Move over, James Harden. There’s a new star for the Houston Rockets, and he’s here to make fans forget about “The Beard”. Rockets rookie Jalen Green came into the league with the expectation that he’ll be a top-level scorer. After a rough start to the season, Green flashed his scoring potential for everyone to see. […]

Tom Brady is many things. He’s a legend of the game, the greatest to ever play in the NFL. He’s a competitor, a student of the game. But behind the seemingly robotic facade, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback also has a softer side to him. After the Bucs thoroughly dismantled the Chicago Bears at home, […]

Friday’s game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Phoenix Suns was pretty uneventful basketball-wise. It was a 115 – 105 rout that isn’t as close as the final score suggests. The biggest events from that game were Chris Paul’s historic achievement, Rajon Rondo getting ejected for finger-shooting a fan, and Dwight Howard and Anthony […]

It’s just the second game of the season, but it’s looking like LeBron James is in end-of-season form already for the Los Angeles Lakers… in a bad way. While the Lakers were down 87-55 in the third quarter against the Suns with 2 minutes left, James successfully stopped a Cam Johnson dunk attempt. After that… […]

The Boston Celtics are not off to a good start this season. Ime Udoka and his new team have now lost two games in a row. The first Celtic loss was a double-overtime thriller on the road against the New York Knicks. This one, though, was a lot more rough: they were thoroughly blown out […]

Phoenix Suns Chris Paul has been dubbed as the “Point God” throughout his entire career. Now, this historic milestone all but cements his spot among the league’s greatest. Against long-time friend LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, Paul joined a group of players with 20,000 points and 10,000 assists in their career. No one […]

Basketball is a fun game, and that’s true even at the highest levels of the sport. We see it all the time in the NBA, where players from opposing teams jabbing and cracking jokes with each other. However, it seems like some people didn’t get the memo for this, like this New York Knicks assistant […]

Jon Gruden has come under fire in recent weeks for his leaked emails. The emails contained racist, homophobic, and sexist language directed staff members and players of the NFL.
