Mike McDaniel’s seat has been burning for quite some time now. After a disastrous start to the season, many are expecting the Miami Dolphins to fire the head coach anytime soon. After a brutal loss to the Cleveland Browns in Week 7, it seemed like McDaniel’s time in Miami is coming to an end. Well, […]

Mac Jones has been playing out of his mind for the San Francisco 49ers. Filling in for the injured Brock Purdy, the former first-round pick is having a career renaissance in the Bay Area. He’s led San Francisco to an improbable 5-2 record despite the many injuries to their lineup this season. Jones will most […]

The Denver Broncos honored a key piece to their 2015 Super Bowl win on Sunday. Demaryius Thomas, the late wide receiver who was part of Denver’s magical run to the Super Bowl in 2015, was posthumously inducted into the Broncos’ Ring of Honor. Thomas joins his former teammates in the prestigious hall, a hall that […]

The Chicago Bears were banking on the return of one of their best defenders for their Week 7 game. Looking to keep their momentum going after the bye week, the team was gearing up for defensive tackle Grady Jarrett to return to action against the New Orleans Saints. All signs seemed to point towards Jarrett […]

Don’t let their 1-5 record fool you: the New Orleans Saints have been quietly impressive given the expectations around them. The offense, in particular, has been pretty solid under Spencer Rattler. The primary beneficiary of this unexpected development, of course, is wide receiver Chris Olave. Olave is having a great season, but that hasn’t stopped […]

A new coach often brings about new things for the team. Brian Callahan’s short stint as the Tennessee Titans head coach was full of frustrations and disappointments for everyone. Even after they drafted Cam Ward with the first overall pick, the Titans looked directionless. It’s not suprising, then, that Callahan was axed after Week 6. […]

The Minnesota Vikings are once again dealing with a conundrum at the quarterback position. After JJ McCarthy went down with an ankle injury in Week 2, Carson Wentz has been the starter for the team at QB. Minnesota has seen some success with the former first overall pick under center, leading fans to wonder whether […]

The NIL movement in the NCAA over the last few years has been quite a controversial topic amongst college football circles. There’s a debate on whether this recent trend of teams offering deals to recruits is good for the overall health of the game. There are many talking points on both sides, of course, and […]

The Kasas City Chiefs have successfully righted the ship. Despite a 0-2 start to the season, Kansas City currently holds a perfectly even 3-3 record. While they’ve looked pretty good as of late (a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars nonwithstanding), there’s still some clear issues that the team needs to address. One might naturally point […]

Eight years later, and Baker Mayfield is proving exactly why he was worthy of being drafted first overal in 2017. Now with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Mayfield has firmly planted himself in MVP discussions this season. He’s led his team to a 5-1 record to start the year, all while his receiving corps have gotten […]

The San Francisco 49ers might be down on their luck, but never count them out. Despite the countless injuries to their lineup, some of which are season-ending, the Niners sport a 4-2 record through six games. They are still in contention for a playoff spot, and potentially even a home playoff game if things go […]

In the final game of the Los Angeles Lakers’ preseason, there was a slight moment of panic for the team. Backup center Jaxson Hayes came up hurt after a dunk attempt, going to the bench after. Afterwards, it was revealed that the center had a wrist contusion and was ruled out for the rest of […]

This might be the greatest playoff pitching rotation in recent memory. The Los Angeles Dodgers rode their elite starting pitching throughout the NLCS against the Milwaukee Brewers. LA’s starting pitchers looked near-unhittable throughout the series, as they shut down opposing hitters en route to a return to the World Series. Just how dominant were the […]

The Milwaukee Brewers headed into Game 4 of the NLCS with one goal: stay alive. Coming back from a 3-0 deficit is ridiculously hard, yes. However, if they wanted to have a chance of doing the impossible, they needed to take it one game at a time… especially against the juggernaut that is the Los […]

Sunday football is almost upon us! With the bulk of the Week 7 games coming soon, most fantasy football managers have their lineups locked and ready to go. However, if you’re still in the market for a tight end (perhaps due to a bye week or a surprise injury), then this article is for you. […]

After Blake Snell and Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s excellent starts, Los Angeles Dodgers fans wondered how Tyler Glasnow would fare in Game 3 of the NLCS. Glasnow was near-flawless in his previous start, so fans were hoping for more of the same against the Brewers at home. However, things quickly went awry for Glasnow in his first […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers had control of the AFC North. With both Baltimore and Cincinnati injured and Cleveland being Cleveland, the stage was set for the Steel City to take control of the division again. A matchup against the Bengals would have cemented their status as the best in the AFC North. Except, well, that’s not […]

Well, that was rough one for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite being favorites in their Thursday Night Football game, Pittsburgh fell to their division rivals Cincinnati Bengals. What was even more concerning, though, was the way that they lost to the Bengals. Pittsburgh has one of the most expensive defenses in the league, and they’ve been […]

Thursday night didn’t go as planned for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Fans expected to see the usual: Pittsburgh beating down on their division rivals Cincinnati Bengals. With Cincinnati struggling in the last four week and Pittsburgh on a roll, the latter team was the clear favorites to win. Instead, Steelers fans were treated to a different […]

And the winner of the first-ever Icy Hot bowl is… the Cincinnati Bengals? Despite all of the fuss around the “Unc” Bowl between the Bengals and the Pittsburgh Steelers, many still had the latter winning the Thursday Night Football matchup. In a stunning turn of events, though, it was the Bengals who came out on […]

Game 4 is basically a must-win for the Toronto Blue Jays in the American League Championship Series. They won’t be eliminated if they lose to the Seattle Mariners here, yes. However, a loss here means they’re heading back to Toronto with their lives on the line. Because of that, their players are pulling out all […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves in a bit of a tough spot. Their Thursday Night Football game was supposed to be a relatively easy contest against the struggling Cincinnati Bengals. However, after the first half, it’s the Bengals who find themselves on top against the Steelers. Why are the Steelers down against the Bengals? Well, […]

The biggest story after Week 6’s Sunday Night Football contest between the Detroit Lions and the Kansas City Chiefs wasn’t who won or lost. No, what’s most interesting about the game was what happened after. An altercation between Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster and Lions CB Brian Branch broke into a full-on brawl. Much has been […]

When Aaron Rodgers was traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason, many fans had one big concern. How would Rodgers mesh with OC Arthur Smith? Rodgers is known to be very picky with his playcallers, and Smith’s reputation as a playcaller took a major hit during his time in Atlanta. It seems like both Rodgers […]

The Luka Doncic trade that sent the Slovenian star to the Los Angeles Lakers shook the entire NBA world. One of the best players in the league was headed to the biggest market. It was an earth-shattering trade that completely flipped the landscape of the NBA, even if the results didn’t show yet. However, one […]

The San Francisco 49ers are just trying to keep their team together. As it turns out, it’s a much tougher task than one might think. The 49ers have suffered multiple injuries on both ends. The most devastating injuries on the 49ers this season are on defense, with edge rusher Nick Bosa and LB Fred Warner […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers’ starting rotation is on fire this postseason. Game 1 of the NLCS saw Dodgers pitcher Blake Snell torch the Milwaukee Brewers to the tune of 10 strikeouts and just one run allowed. In Game 2, Milwaukee was tortured by another star pitcher, Yoshinobu Yamamoto. Getting called for the start in Game […]

Take a bow, Yoshi! After getting lit up by the Philadelphia Phillies in his previous start, Yoshinobu Yamamoto was called up again to start for the Los Angeles Dodgers. In stark contrast from his previous start, Yamamoto put in an incredible performance. The Japanese-born pitcher became the first player since 2017 to pitch a complete […]

Division rivalries are the best part of being an NFL fan. Perhaps no other division has spicier rivalries than the AFC North. Look at what Pittsburgh Steelers Mike Tomlin said after their rivals Cleveland Browns traded Joe Flacco to the Cincinnati Bengals, another AFC North team. “(Browns GM) Andrew Berry must be a lot smarter […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers’ win over the Cleveland Browns was a bit of a mess. Not because of the play on the field, mind you, but because of the field itself. The grass field of Acrisure Stadium felt more like an ice rink with how slippery it seemed to be. Chris Boswell slipped while attempting a […]

The Green Bay Packers’ defense has been hit-and-miss this season. While they started off the season pretty strong, their defense has fallen off a bit in the last few weeks. They’re still a solid unit, yes, but they are not looking like the world-beaters we thought they’d be after the Micah Parsons trade. One of […]

This might have been Justin Fields’ worst game as an NFL quarterback. That’s a surprisingly bold statement given Fields’ career, but the New York Jets quarterback was atrocious against the Denver Broncos in London. The bad performance has fans calling for the quarterback’s head, saying that he needs to be benched. Immediately after the game, […]

The NFL is a violent league. Due to the nature of the sport, injuries here aren’t necessarily a matter of if, but when. Week 6 of the 2025 NFL season saw a few notable players suffer injuries. Let’s take a look at the big name players who unfortunately suffered an injury in Week 6. Rams […]

The New England Patriots are surging! Riding off the backs of a Week 6 win over the Buffalo Bills, the Patriots look to keep the momentum going against the New Orleans Saints. New England will look to do that with a familiar face returning: cornerback Christian Gonzalez will be playing against New Orleans despite nursing […]

The Toronto Blue Jays are back where they belong! After almost ten years of waiting, the Blue Jays find themselves in the American League Championship Series once again. They will take on the Seattle Mariners for the right to play in the World Series. With that in mind, all eyes are on the Blue Jays’ […]

J.J. McCarthy just can’t catch a break. In his rookie season, the Minnesota Vikings quarterback suffered a season-ending injury before the regular season even began. After redshirting his first year, McCarthy was thrust into a starting gig after his replacement last season, Sam Darnold, signed a lucrative deal with another team. However, just two games […]

The Chicago Cubs’ promising 2025 season came to an abrupt end on Saturday night. Facing the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 5 of the National League Divisional Series, Chicago’s batters couldn’t get anything going against Milwaukee’s vaunted pitching. The result is an ugly 3-1 loss that sent the Cubs packing and rethinking their decisions this season. […]

The most memorable game of Week 5 of the NFL season wasn’t between two powerhouses of the league. No, it was a matchup between the Arizona Cardinals and the Tennessee Titans that drew everyone’s attention. A late collapse by Arizona gave Tennessee their first win of the season, but that’s not where the excitement came […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers are about to get a big boost for their Week 6 clash against the Cleveland Browns. With a chance to go up 4-1 in the season, Pittsburgh will be welcoming back veteran cornerback Jalen Ramsey to their lineup, per Adam Schefter. “Steelers upgraded Jalen Ramsey from questionable and he now is expected […]
