The Los Angeles Rams are currently in the process of preparing for their upcoming matchup at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Donald himself originally hails from Pittsburgh, leading some to wonder if he might ever have an interest in leaving the Rams in favor of finishing his career out with his hometown team. However, Donald […]

Zach Lavine and the Chicago Bulls have perhaps more questions than answers as time winds down until the 2023-24 NBA season gets underway. Chicago floundered in the Play-In round a year ago following a disappointing regular season, and since then, rumors have gone rampant surrounding many players on the Bulls’ roster, including Lavine himself. Now, […]

Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns are poised to take the NBA by storm in 2023-24. The Suns had a busy offseason, acquiring Bradley Beal to supplement a star-studded cast that already included Durant and running mate Devin Booker.

Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins have gotten off to a red hot start to the 2023 NFL season.

It seems that Milwaukee Bucks fans have little to be concerned about on the injury front regarding guard/forward Khris Middleton. Middleton has not played yet in the preseason for the new-look Milwaukee squad; however, it looks as though that will be changing soon. On Friday, Milwaukee plays their final preseason game against the Memphis Grizzlies […]

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers are putting the finishing touches on their roster ahead of the upcoming 2023-24 season. Although the Lakers have already made several additions this offseason to help build the supporting cast surrounding James and Anthony Davis, it seems that they are not quite through making moves as time winds […]

Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves are currently in the process of ramping up for the upcoming 2023-24 NBA season.

On Thursday evening, Travis Etienne and the Jacksonville Jaguars looked to continue their hot start to the 2023 season with a road contest against the New Orleans Saints.

Marvin Bagley and the Detroit Pistons are currently putting the finishing touches on their preseason in preparation for the upcoming 2023-24 NBA slate.

On Thursday, the Philadelphia Phillies were looking to take a commanding 3-0 lead in their NLCS series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Although the Phillies had several chances on the afternoon to break the game open, they ultimately ended up falling to the Diamondbacks after a walk-off hit from Ketel Marte of Arizona. After the game, […]

There seems to be no end to the drama surrounding the Philadelphia 76ers and their stars James Harden and Joel Embiid. As Harden continues to miss practices and demand trades, Embiid has been linked to multiple other franchises in a potential trade with the Sixers, including, perhaps most notably, the New York Knicks. On Thursday, […]

Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets are currently preparing to begin their title defense when the NBA season tips off in just a few days.

Detroit Lions star Amon-Ra St. Brown never shies away from an opportunity to troll the NFC North rival Chicago Bears. The Lions currently sit at an NFC North best 5-1, while the Bears sit at a measly 1-5, and St. Brown recently roasted his brother Equanimeous, who happens to play for the Bears. The two […]

Highly touted basketball prospect Cooper Flagg, who has received much interest from blue blood programs like Duke and UConn, is continuing to make waves as a high schooler.

Things appear to be souring between the Denver Broncos and wide receiver Jerry Jeudy.

Recently, the Denver Broncos and wide receiver Jerry Jeudy have been going through a bit of turmoil.

Now, Jerry Jeudy himself is responding to the […]

On Tuesday evening, new Boston Celtics Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday shared the floor in Boston’s preseason game against the New York Knicks. The Celtics won the game 123-110, but the more important story was the continued camaraderie established between Porzingis, Holiday, and their new Celtics teammates. One perhaps overlooked area where Holiday and Porzingis […]

The Dallas Mavericks are hoping for a bounce-back season in 2023-24 led by backcourt stars Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving.

On Monday night, Justin Herbert and the Los Angeles Chargers dropped to 2-3 on the young season with a narrow home loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

On Monday night, Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys got back in the win column with a narrow road win over the Los Angeles Chargers. The Cowboys were far from perfect on the evening, but Prescott made just enough big plays in the game to help lift his team over a talented Chargers squad. After […]

The Milwaukee Bucks made waves this NBA offseason by acquiring star guard Damian Lillard to form a dynamic duo with two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Lillard move caused many pundits to declare the Bucks as championship favorites entering the season, despite their ugly first-round playoff loss a year ago. Still, it appears that not everyone […]

Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns are looking to take the NBA storm in 2023.

Grayson Allen does not have any particular desires on what his role will be with the Phoenix Suns.

Kyrie Irving and the Dallas Mavericks are looking to rebound after their shocking end to the 2022-23 season in which they missed the Play In tournament altogether. Irving was traded to the Mavericks midway through last season in order to give star Luka Doncic a much-needed secondary scorer, and the Mavs are hoping that a […]

It seems that the Utah Jazz are a bit tone-deaf about their franchise’s history with the great Michael Jordan.

On Monday night, the Los Angeles Chargers dropped to 2-3 on the 2023 season with a narrow home loss to the Dallas Cowboys.

Ronald Acuña Jr. and the Atlanta Braves suffered a crushing end to their season with an NDLS postseason loss to the Philadelphia Phillies.

The Golden State Warriors and Klay Thompson may not have much time left in their partnership. Although Thompson has been a key member of the Warriors’ dynastic run which began in 2015, it seems that the two sides may be further apart than initially thought on a potential contract extension. Recently, NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski […]

On Sunday night, the Buffalo Bills took on the New York Giants in an interstate contest from Buffalo.

[…]

On Sunday, the Arizona Cardinals dropped to 1-5 on the season with a 26-9 road loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
