Another year, another offseason where Tyler Herro is involved in trade rumors. The Miami Heat star guard was recently part of the discussions about a potential Damian Lillard trade. However, Miami was unable to bring the star point guard to South Beach, with Lillard being traded to the Bucks. Now, Herro remains a Heat… for […]

There’s no better way than to just rip the band-aid off. All offseason long, there was a lot of speculation about when the Portland Trail Blazers would trade Damian Lillard. The star point guard requested a trade earlier after 11 years with the team. With a lot of years left on his contract, though, there […]

Talk about a trade that came out of literally nowhere! The Portland Trail Blazers officially traded Damian Lillard… to the Milwaukee Bucks! Despite not even being mentioned in trade talks, Milwaukee swooped in to scoop the star point guard away. Lillard was initially rumored to be joining the Heat, but talks significantly slowed down between […]

The Milwaukee Bucks just put the pedal to the metal. Amid the looming possibility that Giannis Antetokounmpo bolts this season, the Bucks decided to go all-in again and trade for Damian Lillard. Lillard will be Giannis’ best teammate by a country mile. With this move, Milwaukee becomes a bona fide contender for the 2023-24 season. […]

There’s an interesting aura surrounding the Minnesota Timberwolves right now. With the ascent of Anthony Edwards during the 2023 FIBA World Cup, there are questions about who’s the “top dog” in Minnesota. Is it already Edwards, or is it still Karl-Anthony Towns (who also had an excellent FIBA World Cup)? This question is likely to […]

Joe Burrow’s calf injury is the biggest question mark for the Cincinnati Bengals this season. The star quarterback hasn’t looked quite the same since coming back from the injury he suffered in the preseason. Cincy’s worries were worsened when Burrow limped off the field late in their game against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 3. […]

The Denver Broncos just got manhandled by the Miami Dolphins, and it wasn’t pretty. How bad was it? Well, the Dolphins dropped 70 points on the Denver defense, and they did it with relative ease. Suffice to say, Denver was not able to match Miami’s insane production, and lost 70 – 20. A loss this […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers were forced to make an emergency landing on Monday morning after their plane malfunctioned. Fresh off a win against the Las Vegas Raiders, the team was forced to stay in Kansas City for six hours before being able to depart for Pittsburgh. Eventually, though, everything was settled and the Steelers were able […]

Los Angeles Dodgers starter Julio Urias was recently arrested after reportedly assaulting a woman. Urias, who has a history of domestic violence before this incident, was unsurprisingly shunned after this. The Dodgers proceeded to wipe any likeness of Urias in their stadium. On the other hand, MLB placed Julio Urias on administrative leave. Now, the […]

The New York Yankees have officially been eliminated from playoff contention in 2023. After a tumultuous season filled with painful mediocrity and inconsistency, the team will not be participating in the postseason dance. Despite being eliminated, though, Aaron Judge will still be playing for the rest of the season. Judge said this before being eliminated: […]

Well, that’s a game that the Chicago Bears definitely want to forget. The Bears were seen as heavy underdogs against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 3. Everyone expected a blowout, but no one expected… this. The 41-10 score somehow undersells how bad of a blowout this was: Chicago scored their only points in the […]

After a hard-earned win against the Las Vegas Raiders, the Pittsburgh Steelers encountered a hiccup in their travel back home. Their chartered flight back home was forced to make an emergency landing in Kansas City due to an emergency. This was reported by Dov Kleiman, and was then confirmed by Steelers DT Cam Heyward while […]

The New Orleans Saints have a bit of short-term issue at the running back position. They signed Jamaal Williams to help bolster their rushing attack, and that move paid off initially. However… Williams suffered an injury in Week 2 that will sideline him for at least four weeks. That is a heavy blow to an […]

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs have not exactly gotten off to the start that they want. For one, the team has started 1-1 in the season, with a loss to the Detroit Lions in the season opener. Their lone win against the Jacksonville Jaguars was an ugly slugfest that was atypical from their […]

The Seattle Seahawks are looking to ride their momentum from their win against the Lions in Week 3. Against the Carolina Panthers, Seattle is hoping to keep their offense in full swing while tightening the screws on defense. However, there was a big question mark for the Seahawks before Week 3: DK Metcalf’s injury status. […]

Don’t look now, but the Washington Commanders are 2-0 to start the year. Their first year without Dan Snyder is going swimmingly so far. Sam Howell has been solid to excellent for the team, and the offense is doing their job and then some. However, Washington is set to face their toughest task this season […]

After losing the season opener in disastrous fashion a few weeks ago, LSU football has looked dominant once again. Their offense is the star of the show, with quarterback Jayden Daniels turning in a monstrous performance against Mississippi State. Flanked with a glut of star receivers, the Tigers look to continue their hot streak against […]

It’s Week 3 of the NFL season, and the Baltimore Ravens’ injury list is getting uncomfortably longer… again. Baltimore has been cursed by terrible injury luck over the last few seasons. This season, it’s no different. Already, star running back JK Dobbins has been ruled out for the season after an Achilles tear. That’s not […]

Joe Burrow’s calf injury is arguably the Cincinnati Bengals’ biggest problem right now. The star quarterback suffered this injury during their training camp. Even before training camp, Ja’Marr Chase said that Burrow should rest and sit until he’s 100%. After Burrow reaggravated his calf injury in Week 2, Chase’s words are now being floated around […]

Ronald Acuna Jr has done it. The Atlanta Braves star is on an unreal tear this season, stealing bases with aplomb while hitting dingers left and right. On Friday night, Ronald Acuna Jr joined the rare 40-40 club after hitting a homer over Patrick Corbin. Acuna is just the fifth player in MLB to do […]

One of college football’s biggest stars will have to wait to make his debut in the 2023 season. Cam Rising, Utah football’s star quarterback, is on the road to recovery after an ACL injury last season. Many were hoping for Rising to start against another marquee name in UCLA this season. However, that doesn’t seem […]

The NBA is a harsh business. Beneath the talented basketball players and genius coaches is a cold, calculated business. Players get traded at a drop of a hat, loyalty is just a word, you get it. Los Angeles Lakers forward Jarred Vanderbilt learnt that when he became part of multiple trades that sent him from […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars are looking to bounce back. After an ugly loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Trevor Lawrence and co. are looking to regain control of their offense against division rivals Houston Texans. However, the Jaguars will be without one of their key players for the contest. Zay Jones, one of the Jaguars’ key […]

Two months ago, the Atlanta Hawks traded forward John Collins to the Utah Jazz. The move came as a mild surprise: many viewed Collins as a foundational piece along with Trae Young and Dejounte Murray. However, after a brutal 2022-23 season filled with injuries, the team decided to move on from the forward. After a […]

This has been a nightmare start to the season for the Cincinnati Bengals. They have started the season 0-2, with both losses coming at the hands of two division rivals. Joe Burrow hasn’t looked the same in his return from his calf injury. To make matters worse, Burrow reaggravated the calf injury late into their […]

The Los Angeles Rams have massive changes coming to their backfield. Cam Akers, the team’s long-time starting running back, has been benched in favor of Kyren Williams. In addition, the Rams are looking for suitors that are interested in a Cam Akers trade. This situation has seemingly come out of left field, as even Akers […]

Two years ago, if you told the average MLB fan that the Baltimore Orioles would be the best team in the AL East, you’d be laughed out of the building. At the time, the Os were the worst team in the MLB. There were even allegations that Baltimore was blatantly tanking! A playoff berth was […]

With Week 2 nearly in the rearview mirror, several NFL stars have either suffered an injury or reaggravated old ailments. The physical toll of the sport means that injuries are common in every game. With that in mind, let’s take a look around the league and see which players have suffered injuries during the games. […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ offense has been under fire from fans for quite some time now. Despite having some talented players like Kenny Pickett, George Pickens, Diontae Johnson, and Najee Harris, their offense has been their weak point for a couple of years now. The common culprit that fans point to is Canada’s playcalling. It turns […]

Josh Allen’s performance in Week 1 for the Buffalo Bills left a lot to be desired. Yes, Allen had a solid 236 yards on paper, which seems to be good. However, he had three interceptions, all picked off by the same DB with varying levels of awfulness. Allen also had one fumble when he bumped […]

Shedeur Sanders kind of went crazy for Colorado football on Saturday, huh. The Buffaloes quarterback found himself in a pickle against Colorado State, as he faced an 11-point deficit at one point. With two minutes left and the Buffaloes needing eight points to force OT, Sanders went to work from their own two-yard line. Sanders […]

The Los Angeles Rams’ championship window closed as fast as it opened. After their 2021 championship, the team spiraled in their title defense season. Injuries to their star players and heavy regression quickly sent their 2022 campaign down the drain. Now, the Rams are staring a rebuilding season dead in the eye. Already, the Rams […]

Colorado football is here to stay, baby! After a thriller against the CFP runner-ups and a domination of Nebraska, the Buffaloes found themselves in an uncomfortable spot against in-state rivals Colorado State. The Rams had a perfect gameplan against Deion Sanders and Shedeur Sanders, forcing them to make tough plays. Despite the 11-point deficit, Sanders […]

Jordan Love’s first start for the Green Bay Packers went about as well as you’d expect. Against their long-time rivals in the Chicago Bears, the team dropped 38 points on the measly Chicago defense. However, that offense will be without two of their top weapons in Week 2 against the Atlanta Falcons. The Packers announced […]

This season is looking like it’s going to be nightmarish for Chicago Bears fans. All offseason long, the team was hyped up as a potential dark horse in the NFC. Many cited a potential improvement for Justin Fields, the addition of DJ Moore, and last year’s end-of-season rally as a reason why they would succeed. […]

Josh Allen hasn’t been playing well since… well, last season, if we’re being honest. Towards the end of the 2022 season, the Buffalo Bills QB was starting to shows of bad play. In particular, his decision-making seemed to get worse and worse. In Week 1 against the New York Jets, the worst aspects of Allen’s […]

We’re just one week into the NFL season, and the Baltimore Ravens are already looking banged up. In just the first game of the year, the team already lost star running back JK Dobbins for the year due to an Achilles tear . Many of their players also suffered injuries in Week 1, putting their […]

That’s a game that everyone’s gonna want to forget. Week 1 of the Cincinnati Bengals started off in the worst way possible: getting blown out by the Cleveland Browns. After signing a massive mega-deal, Joe Burrow visibly struggled against Cleveland. While he didn’t throw any picks, he only had 82 yards in the air for […]

The Motown hype in 2023 is real! The Detroit Lions delivered on their hype after winning a close game against the defending champions Kansas City Chiefs. Thanks to a solid effort on defense and their offense going blow-for-blow with Patrick Mahomes, Detroit earned their first win. Now, the energy around the city is high coming […]
