The WNBA playoffs are starting to heat up. Already, one of the semifinal matchups has been set, and it’s a big one.

Thursday morning should’ve been a productive day for the Miami Dolphins and the Philadelphia Eagles. The two teams’ joint practice was supposed to continue today.

Who would’ve thought this could’ve happened, huh? After years of playing for the Clippers, Patrick Beverley is set to become a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. The point guard has reportedly been traded to the team for Talen Horton-Tucker and Stanley Johnson, just a few months after he was dealt to the Utah Jazz. […]

During the start of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ training camp, the general consensus was that Mitch Trubisky would be the QB1 of the team. The veteran signal-caller seemed to be miles ahead of Mason Rudolph and rookie Kenny Pickett, after all. As the preseason comes to a close, though, fans were pleasantly surprised by the development […]

LeBron James’ two sons have all gained popularity over the last few years, and for good reason. LeBron Jr. (a.k.a Bronny) was the first one to hit the mainstream, wowing fans with his athleticism. However, this year, Bryce James has taken over the Internet, mesmerizing hoopers with his 6’5 frame and his silky-smooth game. It’s […]

Jonathan Taylor broke out into another level in the 2021 season. The Indianapolis Colts running back emerged as the top rusher in the league last season. His ability to carve out great yardage from run plays helped the team stay in the playoff hunt for most of the season. Unfortunately, they fell just short at […]

Rob Gronkowski is back at it again, ladies and gentlemen. The former Patriots and Buccaneers tight end has never been shy to do whatever he wants. Whether it’s doing professional wrestling or partying up in Vegas, Gronk goes where he pleases, and he does it in style. So, what’s Gronk up to these days? Well, […]

If you didn’t get the memo, Donovan Mitchell is a big New York Mets fan. Growing up in the Big Apple, the Utah Jazz star has been a big fan of the team since his childhood. That’s most evident in his tweets, where he frequently tweets his support for the team every chance he can. […]

JJ Watt’s Twitter account is a gold mine for hilarious tweets and musing from an NFL player. The legendary Arizona Cardinals edge rusher isn’t afraid to speak out whatever he’s thinking. Whether it’s savagely dissing a betting company or talking about his married life, Watt’s Twitter is certainly an interesting follow for NFL fans. A […]

Police brutality in America has been a problem for far too long now. There was a point when it seemed like every other week a video of police mauling suspects went viral. This week, a video of Arkansas police officers went viral after they appeared to use excessive force on a suspect. Milwaukee Bucks forward […]

Kevin Durant is a man of many talents and interests. Of course, we know that Brooklyn Nets star is a pretty good basketball player. We also know that Durant loves his hip-hop, and generally in tune with the sports world. His love of dunking on random people on Twitter is also well-documented at this point. […]

One of the more under-the-radar storylines in the NFL today is the situation between Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. The former MVP is due for a contract extension this year… an extension that he hasn’t signed to this day. At the time of writing, the two sides have not been able to agree on […]

David Bakhtiari’s return to the roster has been one of the most hotly anticipated events for Green Bay Packers fans. The star tackle has been out of action since the start of the 2021 season due to an ACL tear. Along the way, Bahktiari encountered multiple setbacks that hampered his rehab. It has been a […]

Marcell Ozuna just can’t avoid the spotlight, huh. The Atlanta Braves outfielder was already dealing with a domestic violence case filed against him in 2021. That, coupled with his poor hitting and defense, has made him pretty unlikable amongst fans. Somehow, though, Ozuna has found a way to add to his already bad resume, getting […]

Punters are God’s most beautiful creations. They are the perfect human specimen, the epitome of efficiency. These men may look unassuming, but they are capable of creating incredible highlights.

A special day for basketball in Seattle unfortunately ended in anti-climactic fashion. LeBron James and Jayson Tatum were scheduled to headline the Saturday edition of Jamal Crawford’s CrawsOver. It was a busy day, with many fans lining up to watch the event. Unfortunately, the game was called off due to terrible court conditions. Still, it […]

There’s a certain buzz in the air surrounding the Miami Dolphins this season. In a conference filled to the brim with talent, many view the team as a dark-horse contender in the AFC. With a talented defensive roster and a offensive core with potential, they can make some serious noise as a playoff nuisance. A […]

The Washington Commanders are set to have an interesting 2022 season. After a so-so 2021 campaign that saw them miss the playoffs, they made some upgrades at key positions. Their most notable addition, of course, is the arrival of former Eagles and Colts quarterback Carson Wentz. The goal for the team here is clear: win […]

After 11 days of holding out, it’s official: Roquan Smith will remain with the Chicago Bears. The All-Pro linebacker made his trade request public more than a week ago. Smith cited problems with the way the front office handled contract negotiations with him. He felt lowballed, disrespected by the franchise that he worked hard for. […]

The Las Vegas Aces are on to the semifinals of the WNBA, knocking out the Phoenix Mercury. Billed as one of the better teams in the league, the A’ja Wilson-led team proved their pedigree in the quarterfinals, handily beating the Mercury in two straight games. Their closeout Game 2, though, was something else to behold. […]

The Chicago Bears have avoided a crisis… for now. The fanbase was left in shambles when long-time star linebacker Roquan Smith demanded a trade from the team.

What a way to finish off an amazing night of fights! The main event match at UFC 278 saw Kamaru Usman take on Leon Edwards. Early on in the match, it felt like Usman was taking control of the fight. However, at the last minute of the fight, something in Edwards just snapped. (via CP […]

Houston Astros fans had a bit of a scare on Friday night when Yordan Alvarez abruptly exited their game against the Atlanta Braves. It was an unusual sight that was made even more haunting when medical respondents went into the dugout. Many were worried for Alvarez’ health, as he had been a key member of […]

As expected, the Los Angeles Rams didn’t have many draft picks in the 2022 NFL draft. After making a bunch of trades in the last few years, the team did not have a single first or second-round pick in 2022. Their first selection came in the third round, when they picked guard Logan Bruss to […]

Just like in 2021, the Atlanta Braves are looking to lock up one of their infielders for the long run. With Dansby Swanson set to enter free agency in 2023, the team is looking to negotiate a new deal with the shortstop. However, fans are worried that the situation will end up like Freddie Freeman. […]

The Las Vegas Raiders are looking to move on from the Jon Gruden era. The former head coach’s tenure in Nevada has been marred with numerous controversies, questionable draft picks, and regular season failures. It all came to a head in 2021, when Gruden was axed from the team following a string of leaked emails. […]

This has been a rather bizarre day in Seattle. Many fans were hopeful that we would get some interesting CrawsOver action, with LeBron James headlining the game.

The Atlanta Braves have a Marcell Ozuna problem. On the field, the outfielder has struggled immensely on the plate. He has been benched multiple times for his poor performances. However, what’s even worse is Ozuna’s run-ins with the law over the last few years. He was charged last year with domestic violence, causing him to […]

One of the most intriguing rookie wide receivers will have to wait for his NFL debut. Tyquan Thornton’s blazing speed enticed the New England Patriots to draft him in the 2022 NFL draft. The Baylor product quickly proved that he was more than just speed though, impressing everyone at training camp. Unfortunately, his rise to […]

The San Diego Padres unfortunately lost their game against the Washington Nationals on Friday night. Blake Snell made the start, and while he did fine, it was certainly far from the dominant pitcher we know. However, pitching a perfect game was far from Snell’s mind, as he had one of the wildest experiences of his […]

This isn’t the Josh Hader that most of us have known. After being traded to the San Diego Padres, Hader has looked like a different man, for all the wrong reasons. Usually one of the most reliable closers in the game, the former Brewer has struggled in his save appearance this year. In the last […]

This is not how the second half of the season should’ve gone for the New York Yankees. A few months ago, the pinstripes were on top of the baseball world. They were hitting bombs everywhere. Their pitchers shut down every batting lineup known to man. They were easily the most dominant team in baseball. Enter […]

This is a rather weird time for Jordan Clarkson. Yes, he’s currently signed to the Utah Jazz team. However, his stay with the team might be coming to an end depending on how the Donovan Mitchell situation sorts itself out. It’s commonly thought that Clarkson will be traded to a contender in a fire sale […]

Tony La Russa has been making some… bizarre calls, to say the least. The Chicago White Sox manager has long been known to have some unique approaches to managing in the modern era. One of his most infamous plays is his preference of intentionally walking a batter even when he’s ahead in the count. On […]

The Detroit Lions’ mid-season Hard Knocks coverage is already producing incredible moments. From Aidan Hutchinson’s Billie Jean impersonation to that weird stray Kevin Durant caught, it’s already been a pretty entertaining watch.

Saturday’s edition of the CrawsOver was already going to be a pretty special occasion.

Reddit is a fun place, filled to the brim with non-serious content about every topic possible.
