Stephen Curry caught his white whale last June, when he won his first Finals MVP for the Golden State Warriors. Despite winning three championships prior, someone else always overshadowed Steph’s brilliance. His performance against the Celtics, though, was so breathtaking that he was an easy pick for the Finals MVP. However, a former rival of […]

Earlier this week, a report revealed that Philadelphia 76ers star James Harden is considering returning to the Houston Rockets. It was a surprising development for many, but there were some that doubted the validity of this rumor. Now, the NBA’s most well-known reporter, Adrian Wojnarowski, confirmed these rumors. ESPN Sources: All-Star guard James Harden is […]

This is Brock Purdy’s world, and we are merely living in it. The San Francisco 49ers rookie has captured the attention of every NFL fan with his incredible play for the team. Purdy isn’t just coasting on the 49ers’ talent: he’s actively helping the team win games. Their last win against the Commanders put Brock […]

The Cincinnati Bengals are surging in the AFC right now. Their latest win against the New England Patriots was their seventh win in a row this season. After the game, all of the players headed home on the team plane to get some much-needed rest. Unfortunately… that wasn’t the case. It was reported earlier today […]

A couple of weeks ago, it seemed like Taylor Heinicke had the Washington Commanders’ QB1 role locked up. After a string of solid performances, the team announced that he’d be the starting QB even after Carson Wentz’ return. However, in Week 16, Heinicke was benched by the Commanders in the fourth quarter against the San […]

Well, that’s something you don’t see every day. A couple of days ago, New York Mets fans were ecstatic when they found out that Carlos Correa was headed to their team. After a failed physical with the San Francisco Giants, the one-time World Series champ was supposed to go to Queens. However, in a not-so-shocking […]

DK Metcalf is a certified freak of nature. The Seattle Seahawks star wide receiver possesses a rare combination of speed, height, and power that is rarely seen in the NFL. As if we needed any more proof of his “inhuman-ness”, the wide receiver showed off his cold resistance while warming up against the Chiefs. 🥶 […]

If you aren’t aware, the city of Nashville has been dealing with some power troubles this winter. The frigid temperatures have been a bane to the power supply. As a result, rolling blackouts have been implemented to try and stabilize their power grid. With another blackout scheduled on Saturday, the Mayor of Nashville asked if […]

The Pro Bowl is perhaps one of the achievements that NFL players tend to look forward to. It’s basically a seal of approval from fans and your peers that you’re one of the better (or more well-liked) players in the league. The Baltimore Ravens will have two players with the same position potentially in the […]

The Los Angeles Rams have one of the worst Super Bowl hangover cases of all-time. Their 2022 team looks nothing like the reigning champions that won it all last season. Injuries have certainly played a part in that, but this team and franchise has some real issues both today and in the future. As a […]

It seems like the clock finally struck twelve for the Seattle Seahawks this season. After a blazing-hot start to the year, the team has struggled to win games over the last few years. With their playoff hopes on the line against the Kansas City Chiefs, Kenneth Walker III’s injury status was up in the air… […]

The New England Patriots are coming into Week 16 with their season virtually on the line. After a heartbreaking loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, their playoff hopes have become dimmer. With how competitive the AFC Wild Card race is, one loss will lose them crucial ground in this battle. Ahead of their Week 16 […]

The New England Patriots’ offense has been a complete dumpster fire this season. After letting Josh McDaniels walk in the offseason, Bill Belichick decided to go with an “offensive coordinator-by-committee” system with Matt Patricia and Joe Judge. The results have been atrocious at times, and fans and players have expressed their frustrations. An old friend […]

On Friday night, Minnesota police reported that a shooting incident took place inside the Mall of America. The incident stemmed from a disagreement between two groups. One person, a 19-year-old man was killed in the shooting. The day after the incident, it was reported that some New York Giants players were inside the Mall of […]

Scottie Barnes is having a sophomore season to forget for the Toronto Raptors. After a stellar first season, expectations for the reigning Rookie of the Year were sky-high. Unfortunately, Barnes has not only not improved upon his first year, but he seemed to also regress in some areas. A possible reason? Scottie Barnes’ inconsistent appearance […]

Remember when the Dallas Cowboys were supposed to get Odell Beckham Jr.? There was a time when it felt like the signing was basically a done deal. However, as the weeks went on, it felt like OBJ wasn’t ready to with with Dallas… or any other team, for that matter. Now, in his latest radio […]

The New York Mets pulled off the heist of the century when they signed Carlos Correa this offseason. Correa was already reportedly heading to the San Francisco Giants. After his initial press conference was called off, though, everyone was shocked when news broke out of Correa heading to Queens. The move immediately paid off, as […]

The Baltimore Ravens are facing a serious Lamar Jackson problem in the offseason. If you recall, Jackson turned down a massive offer from the team in the offseason, making him a free agent in 2023. The former MVP was gunning for a bigger contract, and he basically bet on himself to earn that offer. Well, […]

Don’t look now, but Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars are coming alive at the right time. It seemed like all hope was lost after their 2-6 start. “Another top-10 pick in the books”, everyone said. Now, they are 7-8 and are nearing a playoff berth after their win against the New York Jets (assisting […]

After a dismal start to the year, the Miami Heat are back on track again for the year. They’ve managed to climb back up to .500 after losing a bunch of games to start the season. Their last game was a loss against the Chicago Bulls, where they were without Kyle Lowry and Jimmy Butler […]

This season has been a massive disappointment for the Arizona Cardinals. After falling flat on their faces last season, many expected this team to bounce back in 2022. Unfortunately, injuries to Kyler Murray and other key pieces of the team completely derailed their season. As a result, Kliff Kingsbury’s coaching job with the Cardinals is […]

The NBA Awards got a mini-makeover this season! It used to be that these awards were as generic as they got: just the award with no other frills. Now, the other awards that didn’t have a name were given one this season. All of the awards were named after NBA legends, a theme that started […]

Even with their team entering a deep rebuild, the Houston Rockets have always been reluctant to trade Eric Gordon. This was a bizarre decision: the combo guard doesn’t fit their current timeline, and he would net a good price from contending teams. This season, though, it seems like the team is finally willing to deal […]

The Green Bay Packers’ 2022 season has been a complete dumpster fire so far. After lording over the AFC North for the last few years, they suddenly find themselves in third place with a 5-8 record.

It’s easy to forget amidst their hot streak, but the Cincinnati Bengals have lost a couple of key pieces to injury this season. The biggest one, of course, is their best cornerback Chidobe Auwzie tearing his ACL a month ago. Trey Hendrickson has also missed a couple of games due to injuries as well. Now, […]

The Kyrie Irving may have led the Brooklyn Nets to a win against the Detroit Pistons, but the latter team had a bit of a troll job with the controversial guard, according to Vince Goodwill. As Irving headed to the free-throw line for his foul shots, the arena jumbotron displayed a large globe. Moments later, […]

Desmond Ridder’s first start in the NFL went as expected for the Atlanta Falcons. The rookie quarterback struggled rather heavily in his first few drives, as he looked a bit jittery at times. When he settled down, though, he had a rather mediocre, if not below-average performance: 13 out of 26 passes completed for just […]

Talk about a statement win for the Cincinnati Bengals’ defense! It seemed like the team was destined to lose at one point against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Boston Red Sox are already having a rather miserable start to the MLB offseason. They have lost star shortstop Xander Bogaerts to the San Diego Padres and JD Martinez to the Los Angeles Dodgers. They were able to recoup some of the damage by signing Dodgers 3B Justin Turner. However, a new problem looms […]

To say that the Denver Broncos are having a miserable season is a bit of an understatement. Despite having a new QB and head coach, the time has still struggled to make it over the .500 mark. They were, at the very least, able to hang on without Russell Wilson for one game against the […]

Jaylen Brown is pissed at the refereeing this season. League officials have cracked down hard on the blatant travelling and dribbling violations during NBA games. However, they have been rather inconsistent on how they’ve officiated on a game-to-game basis. That led the Celtics star to remark that he’s seemingly been targeted with more travel calls […]

After losing Xander Bogaerts and J.D Martinez in free agency, the Boston Red Sox are wasting no time trying to reload their roster. Their first target? Los Angeles Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner, according to Jon Heyman. Boston is looking to bolster their infield by grabbing the talented Turner. “Red Sox heavily in mix for […]

After exiting their last game with a foot injury, the Los Angeles Lakers announced that Anthony Davis will be out for a month, per Shams Charania.

The Indianapolis Colts’ season from hell got a lot worse after their Saturday Night game against the Minnesota Vikings. Matt Ryan and co. held a seemingly insurmountable 33 – 0 lead at halftime of the game. What a way to get Jeff Saturday his second professional win, right? Instead, what we got was a historically […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ playoff hopes are skating on thin ice right now. Their lead over the NFC South grows smaller and smaller with each win by their division rivals. Getting over .500 with a win over the Cincinnati Bengals would be great for them. However, that task has become much harder with WR Julio […]

Zion Williamson is a monster for the New Orleans Hornets. The star forward has been lighting it up in his first healthy season in the NBA. All the hype surrounding him has been fully validated. There’s no better example of that than his performance on Saturday, when he notched a feat that no one, save […]

Chase Young’s return to the Washington Commanders from his ACL injury continues to be delayed. The team has officially ruled the star DE out for their marquee matchup against the New York Giants.

Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills are on to the brutal AFC playoffs. During a remarkably snowy night in New York, the team downed the visiting Miami Dolphins to clinch a berth in the NFL playoffs. It was an impressive win for a team that badly needed a win like that. However, Allen is not […]

The Las Vegas Raiders are not out of the playoff picture yet. Despite their 5-8 record, there’s an outside chance for them to sneak into the postseason. The first step to doing that is to win most, if not all, of their upcoming games. Thankfully for the Raiders, they are starting to get healthy again, […]
