Yoshinobu Yamamoto has done it again! In the Los Angeles Dodgers’ NLCS win a week ago, the Japanese right-hander threw a rare complete game against the Milwaukee Brewers. After having an up-and-down season in 2025, Yamamoto seemingly found his stride at just the right time. After Snell struggled against the Toronto Blue Jays in Game […]

The NFL trade deadline is one of the most interesting times in the league. Through seven weeks, we have a general idea of who’s most likely to be on the trade market. Star players on bad teams are often the biggest targets. One such name is New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave, who has […]

The Green Bay Packers have long been waiting for Christian Watson’s return. Watson has been out since the start of the season after suffering a season-ending injury last season. While the Packers have been solid with their “WR1 by committee” approach, having a solid WR1 option in Watson could help consolidate things on offense for […]

Who needs Shohei Ohtani? Apparently, not the Toronto Blue Jays. During the Blue Jays’ dominant 11-4 win over the Ohtani’s Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 1 of the World Series, the Toronto home crowd jeered the reigning MVP. The Canadian crowd chanted “We don’t need him” while Ohtani was at the plate, showing their displeasure. […]

This is not how the Los Angeles Dodgers envisioned Game 1 of the World Series would go. The defending champions came into the game as heavy favorites, and for good reason. They came off a dominant performance against the Milwaukee Brewers in the NLCS, while the Jays had to fight their way through seven games […]

The Milwaukee Bucks started the 2025-26 NBA season on the right foot a few days ago, beating the Washington Wizards handily. As always, the key reason for their victory is superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Greek Freak was excellent in the win, scoring 37 points en route to a 133-120 win over the Wizards. The […]

The New York Jets are already heavy underdogs heading into their Week 8 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Now, their question for their first win of the 2025 season just got a lot harder. Two of their best players on both ends of the field are out, as WR Garrett Wilson and CB Sauce Gardner […]

At one point, Aaron Rodgers was the most beloved Green Bay Packers star. The star quarterback led the franchise to a Super Bowl win and was easily their best player throughout the 2010s. Since his departure in 2023, though, it seems like Rodgers has kind of lost some of his goodwill with his former fanbase. […]

Coming into the season, Cincinnati Bengals defensive coordinator Al Golden had some grand plans for Logan Wilson. The newly minted DC said before the season that the veteran linebacker would play a vital role in the revamped Cincinnati defense. Wilson was one of the better defenders on the Bengals over the last few years, being […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers suffered a tough defeat at the hands of the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday night. Considered as favorites heading into the game, the Pittsburgh defense struggled to contain Joe Flacco and Cincinnati on offense. A clip from the game seemed to show the frustrations of the Steelers’ defense boiling over. A clip has […]

The Miami Dolphins are not wasting any time. After breakout tight end Darren Waller went down with a serious knee injury, Miami is in serious need at the position. Because of that, they signed one of their practice squad tight ends Greg Dulcich after placing Waller on the injured reserve list. “Dolphins placed TE Darren […]

The Indianapolis Colts have been the best team in the NFL this season. That’s a sentence no one expected to say this season, yet here we are. The Colts have the best record in the NFL at 6-1, and their play has backed it up. Behind the excellence of Jonathan Taylor, Daniel Jones’ steady hand […]

The Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback situation is quite the interesting topic around NFL circles today. With JJ McCarthy still nursing an ankle injury, the team has turned to former first-overall pick Carson Wentz. The results have been hit-or-miss, but it’s been enough to spark a discussion about the Vikings’ quarterback room. With Wentz struggling in their […]

Baker Mayfield has been playing out of his mind this season. The former first-overall pick is playing at an MVP-level this season, guiding the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to a 5-2 start this year. Mayfield’s incredible play has naturally sparked conversations about his next contract with the team. Earlier reports stated that the Buccaneers and Mayfield […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder finally had their crowning achievement immortalized in their stadium. As is customary on Opening Day, OKC’s championship banner was hung in the rafters of Paycom Stadium. It was a great reminder of the Thunder’s amazing run last season and the work everyone in the organization had to do to get to […]

The Baltimore Ravens are coming off a much-needed bye week, but that doesn’t mean that the drama takes a break. With Baltimore sitting with a 1-5 record, there are all sorts of reports coming out of the team. There was also a viral tweet from NFL social media personality Dov Kleiman featuring quarterback Lamar Jackson, […]

The Miami Dolphins just got beat down in brutal fashion in Week 7. Facing off against the Cleveland Browns, Miami turned in arguably the worst performance of the season. Their offense was only able to muster six points, and they allowed the struggling Cleveland offense to score 24 points en route to a 31-6 loss. […]

The Phildelphia Eagles were able to halt their losing streak on Sunday. Facing a feisty Minnesota Vikings squad, it was like a switch flipped in the defending champions. The ailing passing attack suddenly looked dominant, as Jalen Hurts finally connected with both AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith on multiple occasions. Perhaps the biggest play of […]

The Minnesota Vikings’ close loss to the Philadelphia Eagles was marred by a little controversy at the end. With the Vikings trailing, Carson Wentz found TJ Hockenson in the endzone for a touchdown to cut the lead to just two. However, after review, the officials over at New York ruled that the pass was incomplete, […]

The Indianapolis Colts are surging this season! They have defied all expectations and currently sit with a 6-1 record through seven games. They’ve been the best team in the AFC all season long, and it’s thanks to the sudden improvement of their offense. The two key pieces to their success this season are Daniel Jones’ […]

Mike McDaniel’s seat has been burning for quite some time now. After a disastrous start to the season, many are expecting the Miami Dolphins to fire the head coach anytime soon. After a brutal loss to the Cleveland Browns in Week 7, it seemed like McDaniel’s time in Miami is coming to an end. Well, […]

Mac Jones has been playing out of his mind for the San Francisco 49ers. Filling in for the injured Brock Purdy, the former first-round pick is having a career renaissance in the Bay Area. He’s led San Francisco to an improbable 5-2 record despite the many injuries to their lineup this season. Jones will most […]

The Denver Broncos honored a key piece to their 2015 Super Bowl win on Sunday. Demaryius Thomas, the late wide receiver who was part of Denver’s magical run to the Super Bowl in 2015, was posthumously inducted into the Broncos’ Ring of Honor. Thomas joins his former teammates in the prestigious hall, a hall that […]

The Chicago Bears were banking on the return of one of their best defenders for their Week 7 game. Looking to keep their momentum going after the bye week, the team was gearing up for defensive tackle Grady Jarrett to return to action against the New Orleans Saints. All signs seemed to point towards Jarrett […]

Don’t let their 1-5 record fool you: the New Orleans Saints have been quietly impressive given the expectations around them. The offense, in particular, has been pretty solid under Spencer Rattler. The primary beneficiary of this unexpected development, of course, is wide receiver Chris Olave. Olave is having a great season, but that hasn’t stopped […]

A new coach often brings about new things for the team. Brian Callahan’s short stint as the Tennessee Titans head coach was full of frustrations and disappointments for everyone. Even after they drafted Cam Ward with the first overall pick, the Titans looked directionless. It’s not suprising, then, that Callahan was axed after Week 6. […]

The Minnesota Vikings are once again dealing with a conundrum at the quarterback position. After JJ McCarthy went down with an ankle injury in Week 2, Carson Wentz has been the starter for the team at QB. Minnesota has seen some success with the former first overall pick under center, leading fans to wonder whether […]

The NIL movement in the NCAA over the last few years has been quite a controversial topic amongst college football circles. There’s a debate on whether this recent trend of teams offering deals to recruits is good for the overall health of the game. There are many talking points on both sides, of course, and […]

The Kasas City Chiefs have successfully righted the ship. Despite a 0-2 start to the season, Kansas City currently holds a perfectly even 3-3 record. While they’ve looked pretty good as of late (a loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars nonwithstanding), there’s still some clear issues that the team needs to address. One might naturally point […]

Eight years later, and Baker Mayfield is proving exactly why he was worthy of being drafted first overal in 2017. Now with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Mayfield has firmly planted himself in MVP discussions this season. He’s led his team to a 5-1 record to start the year, all while his receiving corps have gotten […]

The San Francisco 49ers might be down on their luck, but never count them out. Despite the countless injuries to their lineup, some of which are season-ending, the Niners sport a 4-2 record through six games. They are still in contention for a playoff spot, and potentially even a home playoff game if things go […]

In the final game of the Los Angeles Lakers’ preseason, there was a slight moment of panic for the team. Backup center Jaxson Hayes came up hurt after a dunk attempt, going to the bench after. Afterwards, it was revealed that the center had a wrist contusion and was ruled out for the rest of […]

This might be the greatest playoff pitching rotation in recent memory. The Los Angeles Dodgers rode their elite starting pitching throughout the NLCS against the Milwaukee Brewers. LA’s starting pitchers looked near-unhittable throughout the series, as they shut down opposing hitters en route to a return to the World Series. Just how dominant were the […]

The Milwaukee Brewers headed into Game 4 of the NLCS with one goal: stay alive. Coming back from a 3-0 deficit is ridiculously hard, yes. However, if they wanted to have a chance of doing the impossible, they needed to take it one game at a time… especially against the juggernaut that is the Los […]

Sunday football is almost upon us! With the bulk of the Week 7 games coming soon, most fantasy football managers have their lineups locked and ready to go. However, if you’re still in the market for a tight end (perhaps due to a bye week or a surprise injury), then this article is for you. […]

After Blake Snell and Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s excellent starts, Los Angeles Dodgers fans wondered how Tyler Glasnow would fare in Game 3 of the NLCS. Glasnow was near-flawless in his previous start, so fans were hoping for more of the same against the Brewers at home. However, things quickly went awry for Glasnow in his first […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers had control of the AFC North. With both Baltimore and Cincinnati injured and Cleveland being Cleveland, the stage was set for the Steel City to take control of the division again. A matchup against the Bengals would have cemented their status as the best in the AFC North. Except, well, that’s not […]

Well, that was rough one for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite being favorites in their Thursday Night Football game, Pittsburgh fell to their division rivals Cincinnati Bengals. What was even more concerning, though, was the way that they lost to the Bengals. Pittsburgh has one of the most expensive defenses in the league, and they’ve been […]

Thursday night didn’t go as planned for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Fans expected to see the usual: Pittsburgh beating down on their division rivals Cincinnati Bengals. With Cincinnati struggling in the last four week and Pittsburgh on a roll, the latter team was the clear favorites to win. Instead, Steelers fans were treated to a different […]
