Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Around four years ago, the Boston Red Sox lost Mookie Betts to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Split’s departure from the VALORANT map pool was a bit controversial, to say the least.

After a rough start to his rookie year, Green Bay Packers rookie Christian Watson is starting to find his groove.

The New York Mets have a tough, tough offseason ahead of them. After flaming out in the Wild Card round against the San Diego Padres, they are potentially facing an exodus of players.

The days of the New England Patriots dominating the AFC East are now over. Thursday night’s game against the Buffalo Bills proved this.

There are an abundance of star shortstops in the MLB free agency market today. With names such as Carlos Correa, Dansby Swanson, Trea Turner, and Xander Bogaerts available, teams without a SS have a bevy of options.

Well, that’s officially it for Kyle Pitts’ second season with the Atlanta Falcons. The sophomore tight end suffered a serious knee injury a week ago against the Chicago Bears.

The Philadelphia Eagles might be getting some more reinforcements soon in the form of Jordan Davis. The rookie defensive tackle has been out due to an injury he suffered in the middle of the season. As Philly prepares its advance to the playoffs, they are now opening Davis’ practice window for 21 days, per Ian […]

Tuesday night’s game between the Golden State Warriors and the Dallas Mavericks felt like an actual playoff game. Luka Doncic’s 40-point triple-double powered his team to a win, but the Dubs had a good chance of stealing that W away.

The connection between Tua Tagovailoa and Mike McDaniel cannot be understated. The Miami Dolphins QB has found immense success with McDaniel as his head coach.

The Super Smash Brothers community has always had a bit of a fractured relationship with Nintendo. For years upon years, the company has either been apathetic or even harmful to Smash esports.

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.

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 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.

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. All hope for a playoff spots seems to be lost, especially with Aaron Rodgers’ thumb injury becoming a factor. Apparently, though, Rodgers’ thumb is worse than […]

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.

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.

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.
