Recently, it was announced that the San Francisco 49ers had traded for star defensive end Chase Young of the Washington Commanders.

Jayson Tatum and the Boston Celtics have gotten off to a strong start to the 2023-24 season.

Chet Holmgren and the Oklahoma City Thunder have enjoyed a decent start to the 2023-24 season.

The basketball court is not […]

It hasn’t been a very fun 2023 season for Pittsburgh Steelers offensive coordinator Matt Canada. Although Pittsburgh currently sits at 4-3, good for second place in the AFC North, Canada hasn’t been able to get much going for the Steelers offense, and the fanbase has let him know about it. Canada has been routinely subjected […]

Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat have gotten out of the gates slowly in the 2023-24 NBA season. The Heat have started the new campaign 1-3, and Butler’s relatively lackluster play is a large reason why, as the small forward has looked nothing like the player who took over the NBA playoffs at times a […]
