The Dallas Cowboys’ loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round was a heartbreaker for the team. The loss could partially be attributed to one of their key players, RB Tony Pollard, exiting the game with an injury. Pollard had to be carted off of the field, which is never a good sign. […]

It’s a big night for the Bay Area, as the San Francisco 49ers clinched another spot in the NFC Championship game against the Dallas Cowboys. They held on to win in the final moments of the game. There might be some fans that would be interested in heading back to Oracle Arena to watch the […]

Another year, another terrible exit for the Dallas Cowboys in the playoffs. Once again, this team has failed to make it deep into the postseason, losing once again to the San Francisco 49ers. It was a complete clown fiesta for Dallas, as they failed to capitalize on the opportunities handed to them by their opponents. […]

Pat Beverley is a grade-A instigator, and he isn’t afraid to talk trash with anyone. Sometimes, though, the Los Angeles Lakers PG can go a bit overboard with his trash talk and hurt his team.  Beverley has done a good job keeping that in check this year… except for tonight. During the Lakers’ game against […]

George Kittle is considered one of the best tight ends in the game right now, second only to Travis Kelce. The San Francisco 49ers star’s versatile skillset makes him one of the most important players on the offense. It’s not surprising, then, that Kittle came up with a ridiculously clutch catch during their Divisional Round […]

Jalen Hurts is proving to everyone in the world that he can be THAT guy for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Saquon Barkley’s redemption tour has been one of the most amazing things to witness in 2022.

Daniel Jones’ improvement under Daboll is a big reason for their success. […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had an absolutely abysmal 2022 season. After Tom Brady decided to return to the team, they went and signed the aging Julio Jones to help him out.

The New York Yankees have a shortstop problem. Many fans last season felt that Isiah Kiner-Falefa was an active detriment to the team, especially due to his unreliable hitting.

The Dallas Cowboys’ Wild Card Game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is going perfectly, for the most part.

Brandon Staley’s seat is starting to get uncomfortably warm. The Los Angeles Chargers’ Wild Card round game against the Jacksonville Jaguars was supposed to be their coming-out party.

The Baltimore Ravens have a massive question they need to answer in the offseason: will they keep Lamar Jackson?
