Even when he’s not a player anymore, Tom Brady can’t help but find himself being scrutinized. Now a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, Brady is being called out for a supposed conflict of interest. The former star quarterback is part of FOX’s commentary crew, which theoretically could allow him to get insider info […]

When the Houston Texans traded for safety CJ Gardner-Johnson, there was a subtle hint of trepidation masked behind the excitement. The safety was one of the better players at his position, but he brings a bit of a bad locker room reputation with him. That being said, no one expected the Texans safety to get […]

The New York Giants are making yet another change at the quarterback position. After Russell Wilson had a disastrous Week 3 performance against the Kansas City Chiefs, the veteran quarterback was benched. Replacing him under center is rookie signal-caller Jaxson Dart, who will make his first start against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4. […]

Kodai Senga’s steep drop-off in the last few months of the 2025 season is one of the biggest stories for the New York Mets. Considered as one of the best starters in the league before the All-Star break, the Japanese right-hander fell off a cliff in the second half of the year. It led to […]

The Cincinnati Reds’ chances of making the postseason just took a massive hit. Facing off against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Reds had a chance to inch closer to the New York Mets for the last playoff spot. After the Mets lost their game last night, Cincinnati had a chance to at least tie New York […]

The Green Bay Packers are going to be extra motivated in their Week 4 game. Not only are they looking to blow off some steam after losing to the Cleveland Browns, but they’re also going up against the Dallas Cowboys. That’s the same Cowboys team that traded Micah Parsons to Green Bay this offseason.  Green […]

The Atlanta Falcons are trying to solve a puzzle: what happened to Michael Penix Jr.? Last season, the 2024 first-round pick looked solid at worst during the few starts he made last season. This year, though, Penix looked like a shell of his previous self. It’s all culminated in a shellacking against the Carolina Panthers […]

For the last few weeks, there was a lot of talk amongst fans about a potential trade scenario between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Miami Dolphins. The core of the discussion centered around a reunion between Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill and the Chiefs. However, those rumors were quickly nixed by reports from insiders. That […]

After breaking their dreadful playoff drought back in 2022, the Seattle Mariners thankfully don’t have to wait another 20 years for a shot at the World Series. After a close win against the Colorado Rockies, Seattle has officially clinched their spot in the 2025 postseason. After struggling to make it back to the postseason, the […]

It took three games, but the Chicago Bears finally got the Ben Johnson experience. Against the Dallas Cowboys, Johnson drew up a flea-flicker to bamboozle the defense. It was a relatively simple play compared to what Johnson did with the Detroit Lions, but it still was a thing of beauty. The funny thing about the […]

What’s the worst quality a wide receiver can have in the NFL? There are many answers to this question, but the one thing that an NFL receiver doesn’t want to be known for is dropping passes. Unfortunately, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. seems to be developing this reputation. Last season, Harrison was solid […]

It was supposed to be a relatively peaceful game for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers against the New York Jets. They were up 26-20 with two minutes left, and Chase McLaughlin was lining up for a field goal. A made field goal would put them up by two scores, making it harder for New York to […]

The Dallas Cowboys trading away Micah Parsons was already deemed a stupid move from the moment it was first announced. A team that’s supposedly in title contention trading a top-three pass rusher because of a contract dispute? That was already an illogical move. Some tried to justify the move, but their recent game against the […]

If you had asked 100 NFL fans which offense would be the most efficient after three weeks, no one would even think about the Indianapolis Colts. Yet, here we are. The new-look Indy offense has arguably been the best offensive unit in football this season. They never punted once through two games, one of which […]

Chris Jones has some history with Russell Wilson. The Kansas City Chiefs’ defensive tackle has long wanted to get a jersey of the quarterback since he came into the league in 2016. However, Jones has never gotten a jersey swap with Wilson, even as the DT became one of the best in the NFL. Now, […]

There are some hilarious fines in the NFL. Nothing might be funnier, though, than the penalty the Philadelphia Eagles incurred during their game against the Kansas City Chiefs. It wasn’t a player or a coach who got fined. Rather, it was a key member of their security staff who was fined Dom DiSandro, the Eagles’ […]

Oh, the Tush Push. Perhaps the most polarizing play call of all time, the Philadelphia Eagles’ spin on the classic quarterback sneak has drawn a lot of negative reactions from opposing fans. The reason for the outcry is different each time. This season, a lot of the problems against the Tush Push stem from the […]

The San Francisco 49ers’ pass catchers take another hit this week. Already missing George Kittle due to a hamstring injury, the 49ers announced that Jauan Jennings will be out for their Week 3 game against the Arizona Cardinals, per Adam Schefter. “Sources: 49ers WR Jauan Jennings, listed as questionable for today’s game vs. the Cardinals […]

Jaylon Johnson’s 2025 season seems to be over now. After essentially missing the first two games of the season, the Chicago Bears placed the star cornerback on injured reserve. What that means is that Johnson will miss at least the next four games and will be out indefinitely. That being said, there’s still a path […]

The New York Giants could use a boost against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 3. They are staring down the barrel of a 0-2 hole right now, and another loss could be the end of their season right then and there. One of the players that fans are looking forward to seeing back on […]

Take a bow, A’ja Wilson! After another dominant season from the Las Vegas Aces star, Wilson was the favorite to win the MVP award yet again. Now, Wilson cemented her spot in WNBA history by winning her fourth WNBA MVP award. She is the first player in league history to win the award four times. […]

Week 3 of the Minnesota Vikings’ 2025 season was supposed to be a barn-burner between two top teams in the league. Justin Jefferson is going up against his former college teammates Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase. Brian Flores is trying to find a way to stop the Cincinnati Bengals’ high-powered offense. However, due to injuries […]

The New York Mets are facing a dire problem with their pitching crew. Injuries have decimated their rotation, leaving a ton of questions about their depth heading into the postseason. Now, the Mets are about to lose two more arms for the rest of the year… and potentially even longer. Tylor Megill and Reed Garrett […]

Last season, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall was hospitalized after being shot. Pearsall was apprehended by a 17-year-old who tried to rob him. When the situation became more physical, the teenager shot the wide receiver. Pearsall was hospitalized, avoiding major damage to his internal organs. Policemen eventually apprehended the shooter of the 49ers […]

Another year, another bad start for the Carolina Panthers. After such a strong finish to the 2024 season, expectations were a bit higher for the Panthers this season. Unfortunately, they have started the 2025 season 0-2 again, including a 26-10 trashing against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1. There are a few clear areas where […]

The Washington Commanders will be without their star quarterback for Week 3. Jayden Daniels took a few hard hits during their loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 2. After being noticeably absent during their practices, fans finally got confirmation of the worst: Daniels will be out for their Week 3 tilt against the […]

The New York Jets are trying to jumpstart their season after starting the year 0-2. However, things will be a little tougher for them moving forward. Quarterback Justin Fields was up-and-down in his first two games as a Jet, but now he’s out for some time due to a concussion. Unfortunately, Fields won’t be the […]

The New York Giants might have started the season 0-2 once again, but their situation isn’t as dire as their record suggests. Their Week 2 loss to the Dallas Cowboys showed that they have the tools to, at the very least, get into a shootout with some teams. Now, the Giants are heading into what […]

The start of the 2025 NFL season has seen a few starting signal-callers suffer serious injuries this early. The injuries range from relatively minor (San Francisco 49ers’ Brock Purdy, Minnesota Vikings’ JJ McCarthy) to season-altering (Cincinnati Bengals’ Joe Burrow). Because of that, the demand for backup quarterbacks is quite high. One name, in particular, is […]

The first week without Brock Purdy went pretty well for the San Francisco 49ers. With the quarterback missing a few games due to a turf toe injury, San Francisco turned to former 2021 first-overall pick Mac Jones. There were some hiccups, but the Niners were able to take care of business against the New Orleans […]

The Kansas City Chiefs are 0-2 to start the 2025 season. That is, quite literally, unheard of during the Patrick Mahomes era. Going winless in the first two weeks is usually a death knell for a team’s playoff hopes, much less their title chances. The Mahomes-led Chiefs have proven they can overcome the odds, but […]

The drama police were on alert during the Denver Broncos’ loss to the Indianapolis Colts. The cameras caught quarterback Bo Nix and head coach Sean Payton seemingly shouting at each other during the game. There was a lot of speculation after the clip went viral, with fans wondering if the relationship between the coach and […]

The Philadelphia Eagles might be 2-0 this season, but that doesn’t mean they’re immune to any criticism. In fact, the Eagles have been under fire in the last few weeks. The biggest criticism that fans have with the team is its offense. Despite winning both games, Philly’s attack has looked absolutely putrid at times. Much […]

It’s rare for the Kansas City Chiefs to be in do-or-die mode in Week 3 of the season, yet here we are. After starting the season 0-2, the alarm bells are ringing for the former Super Bowl champions. Losing their next game could be disastrous for their title hopes, especially with other teams in their […]

The New York Jets are unfortunately having a rough start to the 2025 season. In what’s become a tragically familiar sight for fans, they have started the season 0-2. While their first loss was a close nail-biter against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the second defeat was a 30-10 beatdown at the hands of the Buffalo Bills. […]

The Cincinnati Bengals find themselves in an uncomfortable yet familiar position again. With star quarterback Joe Burrow out for at least three months, they will have to contend for a playoff spot without arguably their best player. In his stead, Jake Browning will once again be under center for the Bengals.  How much belief do […]

The Buffalo Bills started the 2025 NFL season 2-0, but they’re dealing with some problems on the injury front. In particular, their defense has been hit pretty hard to start the year. Defensive tackle Ed Oliver missed their last win over the New York Jets after suffering an injury during practice. Meanwhile, linebacker Matt Milano […]

Baker Mayfield is a tough man. If anyone had doubts about his resilience, he more than proved that during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Week 2 win over the Houston Texans. Tampa Bay’s struggles to keep the Houston pass rush at bay led to Mayfield taking many hits from the backfield. Despite that, Mayfield still stood […]

In a landscape where rookie quarterbacks are more often than not thrown straight to the fire, the New York Giants are taking an old-school approach with rookie Jaxson Dart. Despite taking the quarterback in the first round, New York’s coaching staff is electing to bench Dart for the foreseeable future. It’s the approach that most […]
