The Minnesota Vikings are going through some massive changes this season.

Losing to the Giants in the Wild Card game will do that to any team. However, with a new defensive coordinator in Brian […]

This season will feel really weird for Green Bay Packers fans. For the first time in nearly 17 years, Aaron Rodgers will not be under center for Green Bay.

After a small slump, the Atlanta Braves are back to the dominant form we saw from them earlier this year.

Every season, there seems to be one player that suddenly breaks out and becomes a key contributor for a talented team.

For a team like the Cincinnati Bengals, they’re hoping that […]

When the Philadelphia Eagles signed Trea Turner during the offseason, they were expecting to get one of the best and most consistent bats in the league.

The Los Angeles Angels are hoping that this is the year that they finally break their long playoff drought.

After the Toronto Raptors fired Nick Nurse this offseason, the team was in limbo for the next few months.

After Dalvin Cook’s release from the Minnesota Vikings, the star running back immediately became one of the most coveted names in free agency.

Stephen A Smith has always been one of the most hated figures in the NBA media landscape. It’s easy to see why: his basketball takes are questionable at best and downright ludicrous at worst.
