Mitch Trubisky is back under center for the Pittsburgh Steelers. While Kenny Pickett remains in the concussion protocol, the team will be going with the veteran Trubisky over Mason Rudolph for Week 15, per Ian Rapoport. That’s not entirely surprising, given that the former Chicago Bears QB was clearly better than his competitor for the […]

Luka Doncic is the backbone of the Dallas Mavericks offense. The Slovenian superstar has willed his team to multiple improbable wins this season. However, Doncic has also been dealing with a quadriceps injury he suffered nearly a week ago. With a matchup against the Cleveland Cavaliers looming, the question is: Is Luka Doncic playing tonight? […]

The New England Patriots need to keep the wins rolling now. With how tight the AFC Wild Card race is, one loss could send them tumbling to the depths of the abyss. Their Week 15 campaign is already off to a rough start, though. Damien Harris, the team’s injured running back, has been officially ruled […]

Jalen Hurts is a true class act. Any NFL fan worth their salt knows this already. The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback has time and time again proven that he’s one of the best leaders of a professional outfit and is generally a good guy. He knows how exactly to fire up his team, and he also […]

Derrick Rose is possibly the biggest what-if story in the NBA. The current New York Knicks point guard had a blistering start to his career in Chicago. He won Rookie of the Year, and then he was the youngest-ever MVP. Unfortunately, injuries derailed his career. That has led some to wonder about Derrick Rose’s Hall […]

All week long, Miami Dolphins fans have been hearing non-stop about the upcoming weather against the Buffalo Bills. The latest predictions expect a rather chilly and snowy affair, with temperatures going as far as the low 20s. Many expect Tua Tagovailoa and Miami to struggle in this unfamiliar terrain, so to speak. The latest pictures […]

Russell Westbrook has seemingly found the spark to reignite his basketball career. It seemed that at one point, the former MVP would never fit with the Los Angeles Lakers. This season, though, Westbrook has thrived as the sixth man of the team. There was no better example of that than their last game against the […]

Ahead of a snowy matchup between the Buffalo Bills and the Miami Dolphins, a couple of folks from Buffalo are starting to warn QB Tua Tagovailoa about the weather that he’s about to face. A meteorologist for a local Buffalo station (who also lived in Hawaii like Tagovailoa) had this to say about the conditions […]

The Dallas Cowboys’ pursuit of Odell Beckham Jr has never been secret. Jerry Jones has openly pined for the former New York Giants star receiver. It seemed at one point that OBJ would end up playing for his former rivals, but that was seemingly shot down a few days ago. However, Jones has the opposite […]

What is going on with this Toronto Raptors team? Heading into the 2022 season, many expected the Raptors to be somewhat active in the trade market to try and make a playoff push. The core of Pascal Siakam, Fred VanVleet, and Scottie Barnes looked like a solid blueprint. They were supposed to build off of […]

The New York Yankees are already strong contenders for the early winner of the MLB offseason. One, they’ve kept Aaron Judge in the Bronx (despite the Giants’ best efforts). Secondly, they just recently signed ace pitcher Carlos Rodon to boost their starting rotation. However, not all is well in New York, as they’re still struggling […]

The advent of NIL deals has massively changed the college football landscape. NIL, which stands for “name, image, and likeness”, basically allows a player to legally make money while in college. This has obviously helped more players get their families out of financial troubles. However, Washington State football head coach Jake Dickert has a bit […]

Female representation in the NBA is rare to find today. Out of all of the 30 different coaching staffs in the league, only five teams employ a woman amongst their coaching ranks: the Indiana Pacers, Sacramento Kings, Minnesota Grizzlies, Dallas Mavericks and and the New Orleans Pelicans. The NBA has made steps to have more […]

The Cincinnati Bengals’ Week 14 win over the Cleveland Browns wasn’t exactly all sunshine and rainbows. Midway through the game, wide receiver Tyler Boyd suffered a nasty finger injury that kept him out of the game. That was a scary situation for Cincy, especially with Tee Higgins missing most of the game as well. However, […]

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. A rumored target of their is Detroit Pistons forward Bojan Bogdanovic. LA has tried their best to make an enticing offer […]

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. Many fans and members of the front office were holding their breath regarding Judge’s decision. Now that that’s out of the way, the team can now focus on their other roster needs. 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 […]
