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. This was much more apparent in the second-half of the season, when New York went on that months-long spiral. Now, Yanks fans might finally get their […]

The Brooklyn Nets found themselves in a dire spot late in the game against the Phoenix Suns. Down three with 6.6 seconds remained, Nic Claxton was sent to the free-throw line.

The Boston Celtics are roaring with life right now. After losing in the Finals last season, the men in green have looked dominant this season.

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

Maher missed three extra point […]

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. It sure seemed that way in the first half, jumping out to a 27-point lead. Unfortunately, they squandered that lead in alarming fashion, eventually losing the game. […]

The Cincinnati Bengals walked away with a win during the Wild Card round, but Eli Apple seems to have come out as the biggest loser in all of this. Apple has long been a target for jokes on NFL twitter because of his trash-talking and… less than ideal play at times. The second reason came […]

This season has been a weird rollercoaster for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. On one hand, they finished with an 8-9 record: the worst in the Tom Brady era.

As most people predicted, Lovie Smith has been fired from his post as the head coach of the Houston Texans.

When that deal fell […]

From simple things such as changing a Twitter profile picture to donating to Hamlin’s charity, everyone showed their appreciation for the Buffalo Bills safety. Sarah Taylor, the wife of Cincinnati […]
