The Atlanta Hawks have been in a rut over the last few seasons. Ever since their run to the Eastern Conference Finals in 2021, the team just hasn’t quite reached the same level. In fact, they haven’t even come close to doing so, missing out on the second round for the next years. They’ve tried […]

The NBA trade deadline might be over, but the fun isn’t quite over yet for fans. A common outcome of the trade deadline is the numerous free agents that result from the deals. These free agents are often let go by teams since they don’t fit their current timeline, like a veteran traded to a […]

The best stories in pro wrestling are the ones that blur kayfabe and reality. In today’s age, there’s often a defined line between the behind-the-scenes of a promotion and the matches and storylines shown on TV. When those two combine, though, you most likely will get a masterful piece of storytelling that will be told […]

The Michigan Wolverines are undergoing a major makeover. After Jim Harbaugh’s departure for the Los Angeles Chargers, it was only a matter of time before the rest of his staff would leave.

The Tampa Bay Rays have quite the offseason to deal with in 2024. The team more or less reached the expectations fans had for them last season.

What are the Chicago White Sox going to do next season? After another year of disappointments, it’s clear that something needs to change.

Tyrese Haliburton’s back, baby! After being out for the last few weeks due to an injury, the Indiana Pacers star is now back to playing.

When he first came into the league, Zion Williamson was hyped up as a one-of-a-kind star.

At 23-15, there’s still time for the team to turn their fortunes around. Amid their dreadful streak, the team has decided to implement some big changes. The Kings have fired […]

This season has been pretty disappointing for the Los Angeles Lakers. While they’re 25-25 and in the Play-In Tournament, this isn’t what fans had in mind for 2023-24. All those moves they made in the offseason has not panned out they way they envisioned them too. Because of that, there are plenty of trade rumors […]

For the second straight year, Ben Johnson is returning to the Detroit Lions. In both years he was available as a coaching option, Johnson was a strong favorite for many teams.

What do we make of the Indianapolis Colts’ 2023 season? Well, for the most part, it was full of pleasant surprises that came from unpleasant circumstances.

Opportunity only knocks once. That statement can’t be any more true in the NFL. We’ve seen many stars and teams make it to the Super Bowl, only to never make it back. Superstars that won one Super Bowl, but never got a chance at another title. In a league as cutthroat as the NFL, you […]

Talk about a brutal way to end a season. The Detroit Lions were THIS close to achieving glory.

What do the New England Patriots do with Mac Jones? The former Alabama quarterback had an excellent rookie season, but his performance since then has steadily declined year after year.

We have to have a conversation about Brock Purdy. Before he came into the NFL, he was a rather unknown prospect who literally flew under everyone’s radar. He was picked last in the 2022 draft, a draft that had plenty of supposed elite quarterback prospects. Almost two years later, and Purdy has become the franchise […]

This is it. After years of rotten luck, the Baltimore Ravens have made it back to the AFC Championship Game. While they’ve still suffered injuries, they were able to withstand most of the damage. Their defense has been relatively healthy, but no team that’s this far into the playoffs is truly healthy. In particular, the […]

Well, this is definitely a surprise. When Bill Belichick was let go by the New England Patriots, many believed that the legendary head coach would easily find a new home in the NFL. After the dust has settled, though, Belichick is yet to sign with a team. It’s a truly bizarre scenario: the winningest coach […]

It’s finally happening. After frustratingly trying to toe the line between a rebuild and competing for the playoffs, the Toronto Raptors are sticking to a rebuild now.

Talk about one hell of a finals game! It seemed like Daniil Medvedev would be adding another Grand Slam title to his cabinet after dominating Jannik Sinner in the finals of the Australian Open.

This season, the Boston Celtics have been quite the formidable presence. After a slight retooling of the team, they find themselves comfortably on top of the Eastern Conference.

Somehow, the Kansas City Chiefs have returned. At the start of the season, everyone had worries about the defending champions. Those concerns were validated in the middle of the season, with their wide receiver group struggling to contribute meaningfully. Despite that, though, Kansas City was able to bounce back when it matters most. Now, they’re […]

How is LeBron James still doing this? At 39 years old, the Los Angeles Lakers star has shown no sign of slowing down at all. He’s not as fast as he was in his prime. Still, he commands a presence on the court that makes him invaluable. Without him, LA would completely collapse on their […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers just had one of the more surprising performances this season. No one really expected anything from the team… or anyone from the NFC South, for that matter. So when the Bucs eventually won the division, no one batted an eye. They were the shiniest hunk of metal in the scrap yard. […]

Over the last few year, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been slowly making a name for himself as one of the elites of the NBA.

The Phoenix Suns just can’t catch a break this season. They were hyped up as one of the teams to beat in the West after trading for Bradley Beal. As we approach the midway point of the season, though, Phoenix finds themselves in sixth place. They have a fine record, to be fair (26-19 is […]

Now, we saw another historic performance […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers are hunting for a new leader on offense. After the “disaster-class” that was Matt Canada’s tenure, the team badly needs someone to revamp their offense. They certainly have the weapons for a competent offense at the very least. They just need to be utilized properly with the right system. With that in […]

The Baltimore Ravens are about to get some much-needed help on offense. During Week 9 of the regular season, star tight end Mark Andrews went down with an injury.
