The Pittsburgh Steelers have had a pretty quiet offseason with the biggest highlight being when they re-signed young wideout JuJu Smith-Schuster for what looks like a bargain of a one-year deal.   Pittsburgh was a buzz saw early last season, but it all came crashing down towards the end, before finally getting the boot from the […]

Dallas Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki has been the epitome of loyalty in basketball.

Patrick Ewing. Charles Oakley. Anthony Mason. Derek Harper. John Starks. These are the New York Knicks that made it a nightmare for teams to play at Madison State Garden in the 90s. Their tough, physical, in-your-face defense made opposing players think twice before going up against them. Fast forward to today, New Orleans Pelicans coach […]

The Jacksonville Jaguars front office needs to spend just five seconds in choosing their first overall draft pick. Their other first-round pick at number 25 will need much more thinking.  With four selections in the first two rounds of the upcoming draft, the Jaguars can become very good very quickly. If the team makes the […]

The Cleveland Browns have this reputation of making big splashes in the offseason, only to flop like a fish when it matters. This time though things are different. The Browns just made the playoffs for the first time since 2002 and are set to do so again next season. Cleveland made smart moves in free […]

The Baltimore Ravens made some under the radar moves this offseason like signing wide receiver Sammy Watkins to a one-year, prove-it deal and re-signing defenders Derek Wolfe, Tyus Bowser, and Justin Ellis to reasonable contracts.  To solidify their status as contenders and level up, they will have to knock the upcoming draft out of the […]

Atlanta Hawks center Clint Capela naturally has a certain swagger about him and it showed in his opinion on who the NBA’s top rebounder was.

Jake Paul faced sexual assault allegations from fellow internet personality Justine Paradise. Last week, Paradise posted a video detailing the incident.

Gardenswartz, Paul strongly denied the […]

The Chicago Bulls are in a good place right now and with the improved play of first-time All-Star Zach LaVine and the acquisition of underrated big man Nikola Vučević.

Hall of Fame tight end Shannon Sharpe had an illustrious career capped with three Super Bowl rings, and he revolutionized the position as a receiver.

The Philadelphia Eagles had a vision of always having competent quarterbacks. Emphasis on the plural; just look at Carson Wentz and Nick Foles in the team’s Super Bowl-winning season. This is part of the reason that led to them drafting quarterback Jalen Hurts out of Oklahoma in the second round of the 2020 draft while […]

They say it does not matter how you start, but how you end. Even if the late Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant sat out the team’s final game in his last season, that would not be considered a blemish in his impressive track record. But that is not how the Black Mamba works. Moments […]

In the Atlanta Hawks and Chicago Bulls game last Friday, Bulls All-Star Zach LaVine got the headlines for his 50-point outing.

When people think of New Orleans Pelicans forward Zion Williamson, the first thing that comes to mind is his immense strength.

Unlike Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy, the individual known as “Playoff Rondo” is real. Whether Rajon Rondo is on a championship-caliber team like the “Big Three” Boston Celtics or this Los Angeles Clippers team, he just shows up and takes it up a notch when the postseason starts. During the 2016-2017 playoffs, Rondo was […]

You know the last NFL season was different when you see the Patriots picking this high. The post-Tom Brady Patriots finished 7-9 and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2008.

The Carson Wentz era officially ended for the Philadelphia Eagles when they traded the quarterback to the Indianapolis Colts earlier in the offseason.

The Denver Broncos have one of the most well-rounded rosters around the league. The offense has a solid left tackle in Garrett Bolles, a young and promising receiving duo in Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy, and an elite running back Melvin Gordon III, who can rush for 1,000 yards.  On defense, the stout defensive line […]

The Memphis Grizzlies overcame the Miami Heat on the road, 124-112, in their Tuesday meeting.

The Arizona Cardinals made noise when they added defensive end J.J. Watt out of nowhere. Watt is not the game-wrecking defender he once was, but he should still be a positive for the team. Other notable additions include wide receiver A.J. Green and cornerback Malcolm Butler. Green’s production has dipped in recent years, while Butler […]

The New York Giants made some big splashes in NFL free agency thus far, which is to be expected from any big market sports team.
