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. Smith cited dissatisfaction with how the team handled contract negotiations. For him, he felt like the Bears were trying to low-ball him even after his All-Pro efforts. As […]

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 […]

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. Unfortunately, midway through the second quarter, a slew of injuries started taking place. Shortly after, the Lakers star exited the court, and the game was called off due […]

It’s a big day in Seattle today. In perhaps one of the biggest basketball events in the city, the annual CrawsOver league will feature some of the biggest names in the NBA today. We’re talking about players like Dejounte Murray, Aaron Gordon, Chet Holmgren, and Paolo Banchero. Oh, and LeBron James and Jayson Tatum will […]

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 […]

The topic of Jordan Love has been a rather polarizing debate for Green Bay Packers fans. When Aaron Rodgers inevitably retires in the near future the quarterback role is likely going to Love. Some fans are convinced that he has room to grow and is already showing signs of good play. Others, though, are not […]

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.

A month after his appearance in the Drew League, LeBron James is back in the Pro-Am scene. This time around, the Lakers star will be playing in Seattle as part of Jamal Crawford’s CrawsOver. Like the Drew League, this will be the first time LeBron will play in the tournament in a LOOOONG time. Of […]

This season may very well be Yadier Molina and Albert Pujols’ final season with the St. Louis Cardinals. At the very least, Pujols is adamant that he won’t be playing after this year. While Yadi hasn’t explicitly said that he would be retiring, his age and health makes it likely to happen. Because of that, […]

The New York Mets headed into their series against the Philadelphia Phillies with one goal: win. Their last series against the Atlanta Braves saw their lead in the division go down significantly.

Mike James found himself in the national media all of a sudden after his comments on Stephen Curry.

James left Curry off the list… but it’s his reason why that went incredibly viral on Twitter. “I […]

The drama just doesn’t stop for the Washington Commanders. Last year, federal law enforcement conducted a raid at the then-Football Team training facility. After that raid, physical trainer Ryan Vermillion was placed on “administrative leave” after he was being investigated for a criminal charge unrelated to the team. Now, the latest development saw Vermillion enter […]

Deshaun Watson’s 11-game suspension and $5 million fine has been a major talking point in NFL circles in the last 24 hours.

The tragic passing of Kobe Bryant in a helicopter crash in 2020 has taken a rather ugly turn.

Albert Pujols is a St. Louis Cardinals legend. The first baseman first built his career with this team in his first few years in the league.

Joint practices are often a good way for teams to mingle with each other. These practices are a way for players from different teams to learn from each other in a safe environment. Most fans and players who attended the joint practice between the San Francisco 49ers and the Minnesota Vikings agreed that it was […]

The Boston Red Sox are experiencing some major power shortages in the last few games. No, it’s not related to electricity; it’s more related to their lack of home run power. The team’s offense has lacked a lot of long balls, ranking only 19th in the league. Their style of offense has been hit-or-miss, and […]

The post-All Star break has not been kind to the New York Yankees. Despite making some major additions to their roster, they have continued to struggle in the last few games. They still control the AL East division, but that’s mostly due to the Blue Jays and the Rays collapsing at the same time. Their […]

There’s been plenty to be excited about with the Miami Dolphins this season. Most of the buzz comes from their offense, and for good reason. When you have players like Jaylen Waddle, Tyreek Hill, and Tua Tagovailoa, they are bound to be the headliners for any team. Lost in all the sauce, though, is a […]

De’Aaron Fox has gotten a lot of flak from his critics. Like most of his peers, the Sacramento Kings guard spends his free time playing video games and such to relax. Many fans, though, don’t like this, calling him “lazy” and that he doesn’t care about basketball. Clearly, though, that isn’t the case. De’Aaron Fox […]

Juan Soto is now a player for the San Diego Padres. The former Washington Nationals star has been traded to the team after his request has been granted during the trade deadline.

Saquon Barkley’s career has been rather up-and-down so far. There was a time when the New York Giants running back was one of the best players in the league. The Big Apple loved his ability to tear through defenses methodically. As teams adapted to his style, though (as well as injuries), Barkley’s status in NY […]
