Talk about a rollercoaster ride for the Las Vegas Raiders. Less than a week ago, they participated in one of the worst games of the season: a 3-0 game against the Vikings. Las Vegas was shut out, with the offense looking worse than ever. Expectations were low for their game against the Chargers. The Raiders […]

After all of the previous incidents, this was bound to happen. Draymond Green has gotten himself into increasingly more dangerous situations on the basketball court. It’s gotten to the point where the Warriors veteran has been ejected multiple times this early in the season. Green has always been… shall we say, physical, but he’s never […]

Well, that was a beatdown that no one saw coming. Divisional games are usually tough, competitive battles that go down to the wire. Not this one, though: the Las Vegas Raiders hosted the Los Angeles Chargers and handed them a beating that no one will forget. We’re talking about a 42-point beatdown… where the Raiders […]

The quarterback is the most important position in the NFL in this era. Look at every top team in the league, and you’ll see an elite quarterback at the helm. The Kansas City Chiefs have Patrick Mahomes. The Buffalo Bills have Josh Allen. The Philadelphia Eagles have Jalen Hurts. For the Cincinnati Bengals, they have […]

The ending of the classic matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills was… interesting, to say the least. With the Chiefs trailing by three, they had a golden opportunity to take the lead. They seemingly did off of a crazy Travis Kelce lateral pass to Kadarius Toney for a touchdown. However… after […]

With Shohei Ohtani off the board, the MLB world’s attention now turns to the other big name free agents. It’s easy to forget amidst the chaos, but there are plenty of other notable FAs still looking for a new team. One of these stars is resurgent Chicago Cubs outfielder Cody Bellinger. After missing out on […]

The Los Angeles Chargers might be in trouble. Yes, they lost to the Denver Broncos, dropping to 5-8 for the season. However, they have more problems stemming from the loss. Star quarterback Justin Herbert suffered a finger injury during the loss. Herbert was forced to exit the game in the second quarter, with Easton Stick […]

Are the Philadelphia Eagles… in trouble? A week after a brutal loss to the San Francisco 49ers, the Eagles had a chance to right the ship against a familiar foe: the Dallas Cowboys. This was a chance for Philly to prove that they’re still the top dog in the NFC East. Instead of that, the […]

The Los Angeles Lakers have done it! After a hard-fought season, the Lakers battled the Indiana Pacers in Las Vegas in the Finals of the inaugural NBA In-Season Tournament. Indiana fought hard, but LA’s stiff defense kept the Tyrese Haliburton-led team at bay. In the end, it was a late barrage from the offense that […]

What a turnaround it’s been for the Denver Broncos this season! After a dreadful start to the season, many pronounced the men in orange dead. The Sean Payton experiment was an apparent disaster, and drastic changes had to be made. However, prior to their last loss to the Houston Texans, the Broncos had a nice […]

The Indiana Pacers are here to stay. Despite the low expectations set upon them, the team has been on a massive tear this season.

Unfortunately, the Pacers […]

The game between the Boston Celtics and the New York Knicks was heated and emotional on both sides. With the officiating not exactly in favor of both teams, there was a lot of complaining on both sides. It eventually led to an ejection for Jaylen Brown as the star was sitting on the bench. After […]

If there’s one thing that Tom Thibodeau is known for, it’s his stubborn insistence in playing his stars heavy minutes. This has been a common trend for the long-time head coach. It’s been a big criticism of the New York Knicks head coach, and it’s led to some unnecessarily dicey moments for his teams. One […]

Well, that was interesting. During the Boston Celtics’ win against the New York Knicks, star guard Jaylen Brown was ejected for seemingly no reason. Brown was sitting on Boston’s bench when he was ejected. Fans, as well as Brown’s teammates, were confused, and rightfully so. Why would a player not even on the court be […]

Chet Holmgren is finally turning into the player we expected him to be. The Oklahoma City Thunder rookie was the next big thing during his draft process. However, a preseason foot injury ended his 2022-23 season before it even began. Now, in his first season in the league, Holmgren is showing exactly why he’s been […]

The Dallas Mavericks are having the season that fans expected from them last season. At 13-8, they have one of the best records in the Western Conference.

This offseason will see many prolific players get moved around. The biggest name, of course, is San Diego Padres star Juan Soto.

It feels like it was just yesterday when the San Diego Padres swung a trade for star hitter Juan Soto. Soto was traded from the Washington Nationals to San Diego to join a loaded squad. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. After making the postseason in his first year, the Padres completely […]

Talk about one hell of a win! In a game where the Dallas Cowboys defense couldn’t quite slow down the Seattle Seahawks, Dak Prescott put on one hell of a show. The star quarterback masterfully led the offense time and time again, trading blow for blow with Geno Smith. In the end, it was Dallas […]

Just a bit short. In a refreshing twist from past Thursday Night games, the battle between the Seattle Seahawks and the Dallas Cowboys ended up being a barnburner. Both teams seemingly threw defense out the window, with the game devolving into a scoring contest. In the end, though, the Seahawks fell short of their goal […]

Micah Parsons is a bad, bad man. The Dallas Cowboys star pass-rusher has consistently been one of the best defenders in the league. His ability to get pressure on the quarterback is invaluable to this roster. After a close win against the Seattle Seahawks, Parsons and the Cowboys are looking to bring the heat against […]

Chet Holmgren is getting put through the ringer. That’s what happens when you’re a rookie, after all. Even while he’s getting all of the attention, though, the Oklahoma City Thunder rookie is still balling out this season. The star center is a big reason why OKC is surging this season and are at the top […]

The Baltimore Ravens are looking like the best team in their division, and perhaps even the entire AFC. While the wins haven’t all been smooth, they’ve handily beaten many of their rivals this season. A big part of their success is their offense clicking. With Lamar Jackson’s two-way prowess and the emergence of a strong […]

After breaking their playoff drought last season, the Sacramento Kings are picking up right where they left off. They’re doing what they do best: take away a game against unsuspecting top teams. On Friday, they did just that against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Sacramento used their deadly one-two combo of Domantas Sabonis and DeAaron Fox to […]

The Milwaukee Bucks are starting to find their groove. After a slight struggle to start the year, the supposed super team is playing up to their potential now. However, they had a bit of a hiccup against the Washington Wizards. Despite the gap between the two teams, Milwaukee had a hard time putting away Washington. […]

What a world we live in, huh. After a mediocre 2022-23 season, the Minnesota Timberwolves are now on top of the regular season. However, Minnesota’s dream season hit a bit of a speedbump against another upstart team. The Sacramento Kings came into Target Center and handled the rising ‘Wolves rather handily 124-111. What stood out […]

The New York Knicks won their NBA In-Season Tournament game against the Miami Heat in thrilling fashion, but they got beat up in the process. During the last three minutes of the game, Jalen Brunson suffered a shoulder injury after getting fouled by Bam Adebayo. Brunson was in visible pain, but he toughed it out […]

What’s going on with the New England Patriots? Once upon a time, the Patriots were considered the benchmark of greatness in the NFL. However, this season has been nothing short of a disaster. The biggest concern fans have right now is their QB situation. Who even is starting for the Pats at QB? Will it […]

The Indianapolis Colts fanbase got a huge shock recently after the release of Shaquille Leonard. Leonard, one of their standout players in years past, was looking for more playing time.

Changes HAD to be made for the Washington Commanders. The 2023 season has brought forth some positive revelations. However, a big area of concern for them is their defense. Even with Chase Young and Montez Sweat in the fold, the team still struggled heavily. Most of their issues were attributed to DC Jack Del Rio. […]

After Trevon Diggs was ruled out for the season with an ACL injury, the Dallas Cowboys had a major problem. Stephon Gilmore is still a solid corner, but they needed another CB to step up for the season. Well, it seems like the team has found another stud cornerback in DaRon Bland. DaRon Bland entered […]

After a hot start to the season, are the Detroit Lions coming back down to Earth? A brutal loss to the Green Bay Packers seems to indicate so. While it was a one-score game at the end, the truth is that the game was not as close than the final score indicates. It’s been a […]

With greatness comes a lot of talk around you. LeBron James is used to all of the criticisms and chatter about him. He’s been in the league for twenty years (and counting!). He’s heard everything you could say about a player. So when Alan Hahn called the Los Angeles Lakers star an “old man”, no […]

It was a rough start to his first full season as a starter, but Jordan Love is starting to come into his own. He was shaky during the first few weeks of the season, leading to some bad losses. Over the last few weeks, though, Love has started to play a lot better for the […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers badly need pitching help. That much is apparent after their disastrous playoff performance this past season. Injuries and underperformance from some key acquisitions led to their early exit in the postseason.
