The Chicago Bulls entered the 2021-22 season with a fair amount of hype, and they wanted to get off to a strong start against a Detroit Pistons team that will likely wind up at or near the bottom of the Eastern Conference. The Bulls struggled through a rocky offensive performance with their new-look roster but […]

Charlotte Hornets star LaMelo Ball recently did an interview with The Athletic’s Joe Vardon and claimed he’s cut from an old-school cloth and isn’t a player who sees himself jumping from team to team.

The Phoenix Suns dealt with some drama ahead of the 2021-22 season in the form of Deandre Ayton contract extension talks.

The Toronto Raptors had a brutal night against the Washington Wizards in their season opener, but at least rookie Dalano Banton made himself a memory.

San Francisco 49ers rookie Trey Lance’s first stint as the starting quarterback was a short-lived one. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that Lance is unlikely to be able to play in Week 7 against the Indianapolis Colts, per The Athletic’s David Lombardi, and Jimmy Garoppolo is expected to be back under center after […]

The Ben Simmons saga with the Philadelphia 76ers took another turn when the disgruntled All-Star was booted from practice and suspended for refusing to participate in a defensive drill.

Green Bay Packers star quarterback Aaron Rodgers trolled the Chicago Bears and their fans with his “I still own you” taunt after scoring a touchdown to seal a 24-14 victory this past Sunday.

The Los Angeles Lakers went 0-6 in the preseason and then suffered a disappointing season-opening loss to the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night.

The Chicago Bulls made some splashy moves in the offseason by acquiring Lonzo Ball, DeMar DeRozan and Alex Caruso, among others. The Bulls’ new front office of Arturas Karnisovas and Marc Eversley has overhauled this roster over the past year in an attempt to take a big step forward after a failed youth movement over […]

The Chicago Bulls targeted Lonzo Ball for a long time because they knew they needed an upgrade at point guard and that he would be an excellent fit next to Zach LaVine. The Bulls got their man right at the start of free agency, and they’re confident he’s going to be worth it even if […]

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox broke his right hand in the 34-31 Monday Night Football loss to the Tennessee Titans, according to NFL Network’s Mike Garofolo. However, that didn’t stop him from completing a 2-point conversion pass to Josh Allen late in the third quarter that put the Bills up 31-24.

It looks like the Phoenix Suns and Deandre Ayton will not reach an agreement on a contract extension before the upcoming deadline.

It was a tough night for Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams against the Pittsburgh Steelers, on multiple fronts.

Remember when Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo hit up a Chick-fil-A and recorded his trip after winning his first NBA title?

The Minnesota Vikings are trying to get to .500 on the season, and wide receiver Adam Thielen made a ridiculous play on that quest against the Carolina Panthers. With the Vikings up 18-17 late in the third quarter, Thielen caught a 4-yard touchdown pass from Kirk Cousins while he was falling down. It’s incredible that […]

Mikal Bridges and the Phoenix Suns have agreed on a four-year, $90 million contract extension, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.

The Iowa Hawkeyes made a statement last weekend against the Penn State Nittany Lions, with a big victory moving them up to No. 2 in the rankings.

It was an ugly scene at Neyland Stadium when fans pelted stuff on the field toward the end of the Tennessee Volunteers’ 31-26 loss to the Ole Miss Rebels on Saturday night.
