Colorado football head coach Deion Sanders and his Buffaloes have taken the nation by storm to open up 2023.

The Portland Trail Blazers may finally be gaining some ground in the Damian Lillard trade fiasco. Ever since Lillard requested a trade earlier this offseason, speculation has been nonstop about which teams might be interested in striking a deal with the Blazers for the All-Star’s services, but thus far, nothing has come to fruition. However, […]

The New York Yankees have not had the 2023 regular season that they envisioned, but that hasn’t stopped ace Gerrit Cole from putting together one of the best campaigns of his career.

It’s long been rumored that Deandre Ayton is discontent in a Phoenix Suns uniform, which is what he has worn since he was drafted by the team in 2018. Now, it appears that a change of scenery for Ayton was at least considered by Phoenix during this past summer. “…The Dallas Mavericks made an underwhelming […]

Shannon Sharpe may be known as both a legendary NFL tight end and a fiery sports media personality, but his interviewing skills apparently have some room to improve. Sharpe recently had retired Miami Heat legend Dwyane Wade as a guest on his “Club Shay Shay,” and one of Sharpe’s questions quickly drew a host of […]

Charlotte Hornets forward/center Kai Jones has been having an interesting week. Jones has been called out for a series of bizarre social media posts, including some odd videos on social media live and even stating that he is a better player than some of his Hornets teammates (whom he, objectively, is not better than). The […]

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey is already making waves with the franchise despite his relatively short time there.

Boston Celtics guard Malcolm Brogdon and his team currently seem to be on shaky terms. Earlier this summer, Brogdon was initially thought to be a part of a trade before Boston then found a way to acquire Kristaps Porzingis, instead dealing fellow guard Marcus Smart.

The San Francisco 49ers believe that their Thursday Night Football opponents, the New York Giants, may be switching up their operations for the prime-time tilt.

Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs offense haven’t had the most dominant of starts to the 2023 season.

Still, […]

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has a special reason for the jersey number he chose.

Sports media personality Stephen A. Smith was the honorary guest to throw out the first pitch at Thursday’s New York Yankees game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is not concerned about how other teams are defending him in 2023.

Matt Eberflus and the Chicago Bears couldn’t have gotten off to a much worse start to the 2023 season.

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller has had a long journey to his current place of NFL prosperity. Although Waller has now cemented himself as one of the top tight ends in the game, the Giants star is now revealing that he battled addiction struggles in the past. Waller recently stopped by the 2nd […]

Former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III is fed up with what he’s seeing regarding running backs so far in the 2023 season. Thus far, star running backs Saquon Barkley and Nick Chubb have gone down with significant leg injuries, with Chubb’s health setback expected to keep the Browns star out for the remainder of 2023. […]

Dallas Mavericks guard/forward Josh Green is looking to improve his game heading into 2023-24.

Recently, Green sat down […]

Kayvon Thibodeaux and the New York Giants have had a roller coaster of a first two games of the 2023 season.

Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans are looking to rebound after a disappointing 2022-23 campaign.

Now, however, it appears that […]

Former NBA player Enes Freedom (formerly Enes Kanter) is sounding off on the modern NBA’s heavy reliance on load management.

Sauce Gardner and the New York Jets did not have a fun Sunday afternoon.
