Matt Rhule may have already signed up as the head coach of Nebraska, but he still has some gripes with his last football coaching gig. On a recent podcast appearance, the former Carolina Panthers head coach seemed to take a shot at his former team. Rhule talked about the Panthers’ seemingly incoherent philosophy when it […]

Zach Wilson was seen as the savior of the New York Jets at one point. Drafted second overall by the team in 2021, there was hope that he could be the great QB the team badly needed. Just a year in, though, and it seems like Wilson is already losing the trust of the front […]

The Odell Beckham Jr. sweepstakes are officially on, and by the looks of things, the Dallas Cowboys are the clear frontrunners.

The New York Jets acquired James Robinson from the Jacksonville Jaguars in the biggest mid-season trade of the season.

Prior to […]

Alabama’s chances at making it to the College Football Playoff is looking slim. Despite an Iron Bowl win against rivals Auburn, the team still sits on the bubble when it comes to the final dance. Their two losses earlier this season might come back to haunt them: teams with two or more losses are unlikely […]

One of the biggest criticisms of Luka Doncic’s game is his isolation-heavy playstyle. Much like LeBron James’ teams before, the Dallas Mavericks run their offense mostly through the star. That often leads to Doncic hoisting up step-back threes or finding his open teammates off of pick-and-roll actions. For some, though, this style of play is […]

Christian Wood was the biggest acquisition of the Dallas Mavericks in the off-season. The former Rockets center was supposed to be the second-in-command to Luka Doncic. 20 games into the season, though, and it seems as if Jason Kidd is more interested in seeing Wood ride the pine instead of playing when it matters. That […]

Von Miller’s knee injury is just the latest setback for the Buffalo Bills this season. The edge rusher suffered a meniscus tear during their Thanksgiving matchup against the Detroit Lions.

San Francisco 49ers fans got a bit of a scare a few days ago when news of Deebo Samuel’s injury circulated on the internet.

This season is a complete disaster for the Green Bay Packers. There’s no sugarcoating it: they have been completely awful this season, sitting at a 4-7 record right now.

The LSU Tigers’ 2022 college football season did not end the way most fans expected it to. They came into their final game against Texas A&M as clear favorites to win. The team should’ve been able to handily dispatch the struggling Aggies. Instead, though, costly errors cost the Tigers a shot at finishing their season […]

Lane Kiffin is a petty, petty man, and Ole Miss football fans love him for it. The head coach will not miss an opportunity to roast or dunk on someone who he feels has wronged him. So when a reporter announced that Kiffin was moving to Auburn without his knowledge, the head coach slammed him […]

Well, the Ja’Marr Chase comeback show for the Cincinnati Bengals will have to wait for one more week.

Justin Fields’ shoulder injury is a major cause of concern for Chicago Bears fans right now. The QB suffered this injury after going down hard against the Falcons a week ago.

A clash of college football titans will be happening this Saturday, as long-time rivals Michigan and Ohio State face off in a classic rivalry match.

Ja Morant may be one of the NBA’s most prominent trash-talkers today. The Memphis Grizzlies star point guard is a menace on the court, due to his trash talking antics. It backfires on him sometimes, but at the end of the day, Morant just wants to talk smack against his fellow competitors. That doesn’t mean, […]

Yuta Watanabe has been a revelation for the Brooklyn Nets this season. Amid all of the chaos with Kyrie Irving and the other stars, Watanabe has quietly become a key part of their rotation.

The Los Angeles Lakers might be playing better now, but that doesn’t mean that potential trades are out of the question now. There are still glaring holes with the team that needs to be addressed if they want to compete for the championship. It’s not really surprising, then, that LeBron James is sending out subliminal […]

A reunion might be in the works for the Dallas Mavericks and Jae Crowder. The disgruntled Phoenix Suns forward has asked for a trade from his current team already. With Dallas in desperate help for Doncic, Crowder’s two-way prowess would be a godsend for this team. However, as Sean Deveney reported, there’s a bit of […]

One of the weirder quirks in the NFL lately was Kirk Cousins’ struggles during prime-time games. For some reason, the Minnesota Vikings quarterback would struggle when he would play in nationally televised games. Against the Patriots on Thanksgiving, though, Cousins completely destroying this narrative with his pin-point passing. Naturally, the Vikings were hyped up after […]

The New York Yankees have one major goal in the MLB offseason: do everything in their power to get Aaron Judge back. The reigning AL MVP is an unrestricted free agent, allowing him to sign wherever he pleases. New York will be doing their damnedest to keep the hard-hitting Judge in the Bronx for as […]

Justin Jefferson might just be the best wide receiver in the league already. The third-year Minnesota Vikings star has already set multiple receiving records in just a short amount of time.

It’s time to talk about the Minnesota Vikings. After getting blown out of the water in embarrassing fashion by the Dallas Cowboys, many expected this team to come crashing back down to Earth. Surely, they’ll start regressing back to the mean, right? Well, their Thanksgiving win against the New England Patriots might finally convince the […]

Most NFL fans that grew up this decade know the Detroit Lions as a moribund franchise. Even when Matthew Stafford was leading the charge, the team didn’t really find much success.

Stefon Diggs has been absolutely amazing for the Buffalo Bills. On the field, the star wide receiver continues to be a monster, helping power Buffalo’s crazy offense. Off the field, Diggs is a true class act, endearing himself to the city with his kindness and willingness to help out. On Thanksgiving Day, we saw just […]

The Carolina Panthers’ quarterback carousel continues this season. After PJ Walker’s injury, the team turned to Baker Mayfield in Week 7 against the Baltimore Ravens. The results were… less than ideal, to put it lightly. Because of that, the Panthers will now try out another ex-top draft pick in Sam Darnold at quarterback. So, how […]

The Golden State Warriors’ title defense is starting off on the wrong foot. At 8 – 10, the team has just not looked good as of late.

To say the Philadelphia 76ers fans hate Ben Simmons is a major understatement. The former All-Star point guard is generally reviled by fans of his former team.
