The Carolina Panthers escaped with a win on Sunday night against the Seattle Seahawks, but they lost one of their stars in the process. DJ Moore, their young wide receiver, left the game with what was initially deemed an ankle injury. However, the injury is actually a knee sprain and Moore is day-to-day, per ESPN’s […]

The Los Angeles Lakers’ hunt for new talent continues to this day. They have found some success in the last few weeks, but they need that extra oomph to make their roster more stable.

Cam Jordan and the New Orleans Saints felt the wrath of the NFL’s new rules when they were slapped with a massive $550,000 fine a couple of days ago. The reason? According to the league, Jordan and the team conspired to fake an injury in order to halt the momentum of the game. It was […]

Sauce Gardner has been arguably the best defensive player out of the 2022 draft, and that’s no small feat. The New York Jets rookie cornerback has been impressive for most of his young career. He’s went up against some of the best wide receivers in the league and held them to less than their usual […]

John Collins’ name has seemingly never left the trade rumor mill for most of his career. The Atlanta Hawks forward is a valuable member of the team, but many teams are also interested in trading for him. This season, that hasn’t changed: there are reportedly FOUR teams exploring a potential trade for Collins this season, […]

The Toronto Raptors’ 2022-23 season has not gone according to plan. After their first-round appearance last season, many expected this team to continue their upward trajectory. Their core of Pascal Siakam, Scottie Barnes, and Fred VanVleet seemed to be solid at worst, and their roster experiment was an early success. 27 games into the 2022-23 […]

Chris Beard, the University of Texas’ men’s basketball head coach, has been arrested this Monday morning, per Tony Plohetski. The Longhorns coach was arrested on charges of assault. The incident was reported to 911 at around 2 in the morning, when Beard allegedly strangled someone inside their home. UPDATE: Austin police spokesman Brandon Jones says […]

Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers reached a new low this season in Week 14 against the San Francisco 49ers. Facing a team led by seventh-round rookie Brock Purdy, the 2020 champs were demolished on both sides of the ball. Brady’s offense struggled to make things happen against the stout San Francisco defense. After […]

The Baltimore Ravens’ quarterbacks just can’t catch a break in the last few weeks of the season. Last week, Lamar Jackson went down with a knee injury. The star is expected to be out until Week 16, with backup Tyler Huntley replacing him in the interim. Unfortunately, Huntley was knocked out of his first start […]

To say that the Los Angeles Chargers’ defense is disappointing is a massive understatement. The team spent a pretty penny to acquire defensive pieces to pair with Joey Bosa. Unfortunately, all that money has not helped them improve on that end of the ball, partly due to injuries to players such as Bosa and Derwin […]

The Buffalo Bills will be without Von Miller for the rest of the season. The star defensive end suffered a knee injury a couple of weeks back. Miller and the team debated on playing through the injury with a knee brace. In the end, though, both parties agreed that season-ending surgery was the best option […]

Well, boys, it’s finally happening. For years on end, VALORANT players have had a sneaking suspicion about a couple of Agents: Raze and Killjoy. Riot has been subtly dropping hints that’s there’s something more to the relationship between the two characters. Now, they have confirmed what many have secretly been hoping for. Raze and Killjoy […]

The New York Knicks find themselves in an awkward spot this season. They currently sit at 13-13 a quarter of the way to the season. They aren’t a bad team, per se, but they’re also not… great. They sit in the dreaded plane of mediocrity that most middling teams fall to. Because of that, there […]

The New York Giants find themselves in an unexpected position in Week 14. Despite being an afterthought during the pre-season, this team is currently fighting for a Wild Card spot in the NFC. A big part of their resurgence this season is Saquon Barkley, who has found his previous form after a couple of injury-riddled […]

Well, that wasn’t the performance that the Boston Celtics wanted against the Golden State Warriors. The two teams faced off this Saturday night in a rematch of last year’s Finals. Unfortunately, Jayson Tatum’s cold streak against the Dubs continued last night, as he struggled to find his groove against the defending champions. Despite the ugly […]

Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals are starting to cook again. After struggling a bit to start the season, the reigning AFC champs have won their last four games, including a clutch win over the Kansas City Chiefs. The offense, after going through some growing pains, have found their groove again even without Ja’Marr Chase. […]

Kyle Shanahan has been a damn good coach for the San Francisco 49ers. Ever since he took over the coaching job for the team in 2017, the team has found consistent success for most of their seasons. A big part of that is not just Shanahan’s coaching, but also his assistants’ work in helping Shanahan […]

The Seattle Seahawks are probably the biggest surprise of the 2022 NFL season. After trading away Russell Wilson, many wrote off this Geno Smith-led squad as a tanking team. Instead, Smith, DK Metcalf, and the rest of the team proved that they can be just as good, if not better, without their star QB. Ahead […]

At this point, many fans are wondering if Tom Brady will ever step away from football completely. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers QB reneged on his retirement decision before the season. The move unfortunately came back to haunt him, as his team has struggled to stay above .500 this season due to a litany of issues. […]

The New York Yankees got the biggest prize of the offseason after they retained star slugger Aaron Judge.

A potential target for the […]

Earlier this month, the NFL issued a memo to teams warning them about faking injuries in a game. Apparently, Cam Jordan and the New Orleans decided to test this memo during their Week 13 loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Now, the league cracked down on them HARD with some hefty fines. Cam Jordan and […]

The Tennessee Titans shocked the NFL world recently after they fired GM Jon Robinson. Prior to the game, the teams perfectly fine: they were on top of the division, and hadn’t really struggled that much this year. However, a loss to the ex-Tennessee star AJ Brown and the Philadelphia Eagles seemed to be the catalyst […]

The San Diego Padres got their guy when they signed Xander Bogaerts to a massive deal. The star shortstop was one of the most coveted MLB free agents in the offseason. Now, Bogaerts will play for a stacked San Diego roster that boasts the likes of Juan Soto and Manny Machado. However… Manny Machado might […]

The Baltimore Ravens lost Lamar Jackson to an injury in the most inopportune of times. The battle for the AFC North is heating up, with the Cincinnati Bengals slowly catching up to the team. Jackson’s knee injury in Week 13 certainly doesn’t help them navigate the final stretch of the season. Ravens fans are now […]

The Toronto Raptors have been painfully mediocre this season. Despite Pascal Siakam’s continued ascent to stardom, the team has struggled to find any form of consistency this season. A struggling core, multiple injuries, and a weak bench all contributed to Toronto’s .500 record 26 games into the season. As everyone knows, mediocrity is an NBA […]

The Dallas Mavericks have been mediocre in the clutch this season. That might surprise a lot of people, considering Luka Doncic’s reputation as a clutch player prior to this season. Despite Doncic’s presence, though, Dallas has struggled to put away teams in the final moments of the game (their game against the Toronto Raptors comes […]

Back in November, many Washington Commanders fans jumped up for joy when it was announced that Dan Snyder has made the first steps to selling the team.

WHAT. A. WIN! The New Orleans Pelicans came out victorious against the Phoenix Suns on Thursday night, but it wasn’t without drama. Zion Williamson’s spectacular end-of-game dunk rubbed Phoenix players the wrong way. The result was a little altercation between the two teams after the game’s conclusion. One of the stars for the Pelicans also […]

Trevor Lawrence’s second season with the Jacksonville Jaguars has been an up-and-down ride so far. There are times where the Clemson product lives up to the hype he garnered before the draft. However, he’ll also have moments where he’ll seemingly disappear and fail to take over games. Now, he’s dealing with a toe injury that […]

New week, same old problems for the Las Vegas Raiders. After two big wins in the last two weeks, there was hope that this team finally found the winning formula to salvage this season. All those hopes were dashed, though, after Las Vegas choked away a one-score lead against the Baker Mayfield-led Los Angeles Rams. […]

The Boston Celtics are dominating the NBA scene today. After falling short in the NBA Finals last season, the men in green have come back stronger than ever before. They currently are on top of the NBA with a 21-5 record. Now, JJ Redick revealed that he almost joined this same Celtics team… but in […]

Get ready for the next battle! As if we needed more confirmation for Tekken 8, Katsuhiro Harada and Bandai Namco dropped another epic trailer during The Game Awards.

Odell Beckham Jr’s free agency tour has many fanbases at the edge of their seat. Teams like the Buffalo Bills and Dallas Cowboys are waiting to see who the star wide receiver picks as his new team. OBJ has completed his visits to the teams he’s interested in, and is now mulling on who he […]

The Los Angeles Dodgers already lost a big piece early in the NFL offseason, as Trea Turner departed for the Philadelphia Phillies. The star shortstop was sought-after by many teams, but in the end, he decided to spurn LA for Philly. Now, another member of their infield is being poached by rival teams: Justin Turner. […]

Marvin Harrison Jr’s ascent to greatness has been a welcome surprise for the Ohio State football fanbase. The wide receiver has filled in nicely for Jaxon Smith-Njigba, helping the Buckeyes offense stay potent despite the latter’s absence. Unfortunately, Harrison Jr. lost out on the Biletnikoff award to another monster WR in Tennessee’s Jalin Hyatt. This […]

Well, that’s one way to make an awesome debut. In his first game for the Los Angeles Rams, Baker Mayfield saved them from certain with his clutch heroics against the Las Vegas Raiders. Mayfield led the defending champs on a 98-yard game-winning drive to keep LA’s playoff hopes alive and well. Baker Mayfield and the […]

Don’t look now, but Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions are roaring their way back into playoff contention. It seemed as if their postseason dreams died the moment they hit a 1-6 record. Since then, though, Detroit has won four of their five games, putting them squarely in contention for a potential Wild Card spot […]

In a not-so-shocking turn of events, Baker Mayfield has been released by the Carolina Panthers. The quarterback has struggled to find consistent production with his new team, yes. However, it’s still a bit surprising for a team to cut bait with a player they traded for before the season started. As you can expect, everyone […]

When the Dallas Cowboys offense took the field for the first time in Week 13, fans noticed a noticeable absence: Ezekiel Elliott. For the longest time, Zeke has been the starter for the team through thick and thin. That’s why it was surprising that Tony Pollard started over Elliott, especially considering Jerry Jones’ hard stance […]
