If the Philadelphia Eagles owned a time machine, they most certainly would have used it to turn the clock back to before kickoff of their 22-19 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers in Monday Night Football action. They were so horrific on offense, with quarterback Jalen Hurts putting up one of the worst performances […]

Jim Harbaugh has ridiculously high standards, making him one of the most successful head coaches in modern football. He has done nothing but turn around the fortunes of the Los Angeles Chargers, and on Monday night, their strong 2025 season continued with a 22-19 win over the Philadelphia Eagles that they had to earn with […]

Jalen Hurts has not looked right over the past few weeks, but Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers may be the rock bottom of his season — maybe even of his career. When he turned the ball over twice in one play (throwing an interception and then fumbling the ball after the Philadelphia Eagles […]

To say that the Philadelphia Eagles stunk up the joint on Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers would be a major understatement. They were horrible on offense all night long, and it ended up costing them despite a monstrous effort from their defense. They ended up taking the loss in overtime, 22-19, with Jalen […]

Fans were “treated” to quite the ugly and grimy affair in Monday Night Football action between the Los Angeles Chargers and Philadelphia Eagles. Tried as both teams might have to lose, one team was at least coming out with their head held high (unless they ended up with a tie, which, given how the game […]

One of the worst-kept secrets in the NBA is the Minnesota Timberwolves’ desire to add a point guard next to Anthony Edwards. Mike Conley has gotten old and Rob Dillingham is not yet ready for heavy minutes that the Timberwolves have resorted to using Edwards as a point guard. While Edwards has made plenty of […]

Having lost two consecutive games heading into their pivotal Week 14 clash against the Los Angeles Chargers, the Philadelphia Eagles faced a bit of pressure to get back to winning ways especially with the Dallas Cowboys creeping up behind them in the NFC East standings. Alas, the Eagles’ rut continued as their offense continued to […]

To say that the 2025-26 season could not have gone any further from plan for the Indiana Pacers would be a massive understatement. The Pacers expected to at least be semi-competitive this season despite Tyrese Haliburton’s Achilles injury that is set to keep him out for the entirety of the ’25-’26 campaign, but they entered […]

On Monday night, the San Antonio Spurs found themselves in a closer-than-expected contest against an injury-ravaged New Orleans Pelicans team that was without Zion Williamson and Jordan Poole. But the Pelicans, thanks to a historic effort from Derik Queen (a 33-point, 10-rebound, 10-assist game that saw him become the first rookie this season to record […]

Day 1 of the 2025 Winter Meetings has concluded, and as per usual, there are plenty of talking points for fans to go over. One of them is the ongoing free agency of Kyle Schwarber, who is coming off a monster season in 2025 with the Philadelphia Phillies that has masterfully set him up for […]

The 2025 season represented a major improvement for the hapless Chicago White Sox. After setting the record for most losses in a single season in 2024 (with 121), the White Sox improved to 60-102 this past season. But they’re not content with that kind of progress, if the rumor mill is to be believed. While […]

The Los Angeles Clippers’ acquisition of John Collins has blown up quite miserably in their faces. Collins was coming off an excellent 2024-25 season with the Utah Jazz, starring in one of the worst teams in the league. Many believed that he was too good for the Jazz that he was forced to sit the […]

Are the Los Angeles Clippers going to blow everything up? It’s become more and more likely with each passing loss and with the bombshell news that is Chris Paul being sent home from his farewell tour. But the Clippers are so deep into the sunk cost that is the Kawhi Leonard era that they may […]

The Los Angeles Clippers are a mess of a franchise right now, and this is the kind of mess that will take years to dig themselves out of. The Chris Paul saga is just a symptom of the Clippers’ growing dysfunction, and it’s not like they’re winning a ton of games to make up for […]

The Atlanta Hawks have at least made clear over the start of the 2025-26 season that they are not hapless anymore whenever Trae Young is not on the floor. In fact, Young’s absence seems to have empowered the rest of the team. Jalen Johnson, in particular, looks like an All-NBA player in the making, and […]

Considering how the 2025-26 season has gone thus far for the Minnesota Timberwolves, one would think that they’re somehow languishing with a below .500 record. But even with loud defeats and embarrassing choke jobs, the Timberwolves are 14-8 on the season and look very much primed to contend in the West and defend their status […]

The NBA is a never-ending soap opera, and Giannis Antetokounmpo is becoming its biggest star, at least for these next few episodes. Antetokounmpo, amid the Milwaukee Bucks’ struggles that has them currently in the 10th place in the East despite their impressive 113-109 victory over the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday, has reportedly expressed some discontent […]

Circumstances are getting dire for the Golden State Warriors. They will be without Stephen Curry for at least one more game, and to make matters worse, Jimmy Butler had to exit early during their 124-112 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night. The Warriors are now 11-11 on the season, and they look […]

Harrison Barnes is the exact kind of player that every team with winning aspirations need. The San Antonio Spurs certainly know how valuable Barnes can be even when some of his contributions don’t exactly show up on the box score. This is why when he pops off for an excellent scoring night the way he […]

In Game 3 of the World Series clash between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Toronto Blue Jays (which ended up being an 18-inning marathon), Justin Bieber caused a bit of a buzz by being in attendance at Dodger Stadium. Bieber, who has been residing in Los Angeles for quite some time now, couldn’t have picked […]

Upon returning from a torn meniscus and a thumb injury that further delayed his comeback bid, Jared McCain looked like a shell of his former self. The Philadelphia 76ers guard lit up the NBA last year when he took on a larger role amid his team’s plethora of injury woes, but to start the 2025-26 […]

After a rough stretch in which the Minnesota Timberwolves got embarrassed by the Phoenix Suns and Sacramento Kings and then put into their place by the powerhouse Oklahoma City Thunder, they have rebounded to win two in a row against good, if injury-ravaged, opposition (Boston Celtics and San Antonio Spurs). This was what made the […]

The Toronto Raptors have been humbled in recent days, as they were served humble pie by the Charlotte Hornets in a 118-111 overtime loss on Saturday and they were knocked down a peg or two when they lost by 24 to the New York Knicks on Sunday night. But on Tuesday, the Raptors returned to […]

The Detroit Tigers are looking to cement themselves as a surefire playoff contender after a shaky end to the 2025 season nearly kept them out of the postseason altogether. With Tarik Skubal leading the rotation and a cast of young and talented position players leading the way, the Tigers certainly have what it takes to […]

The Philadelphia 76ers continue to face a mountain of injury woes, with Quentin Grimes joining Joel Embiid and Kelly Oubre Jr. on the mend on Tuesday night in their clash against the Washington Wizards. But at the very least, Jared McCain seems to be putting his injury battles in the rearview mirror. McCain, who saw […]

The entire city of Durham must be screaming in celebration right now. There is nothing more exciting for the constituents of Durham than a Duke basketball win, other than, perhaps, any sort of win over UNC. And on Tuesday, the fourth-ranked Blue Devils faced the 15th-ranked Florida basketball squad and came out on top in […]

A game against the Toronto Raptors on the road was always going to be tough for the Portland Trail Blazers. The Blazers are missing a few key guys, and they’re battling against one of the best teams in the East in the early goings of the 2025-26 campaign. Thus, it wasn’t that big of a […]

The Boston Celtics are finding their footing a little bit. Of their past four games heading into their Tuesday night clash against the New York Knicks, all of them came against teams that made it to the playoffs last season. They went 3-1 during that stretch, setting themselves up quite nicely for a matchup against […]

Freddie Freeman is a three-time World Series champion, and it’s not like he was simply a passenger on those title-winning squads. Freeman was a prominent member of those championship-winning teams, and he’s established himself as one of the biggest postseason heroes in recent memory. Freeman was the one who hit the walk-off home run in […]

Only two teams posed much of a threat to the Oklahoma City Thunder for the duration of the 2024-25 campaign — the Denver Nuggets and Indiana Pacers. The latter has been ravaged by injuries. This leaves the Nuggets, among many aspiring championship contenders, as perhaps the most likely team to dethrone the Thunder — especially […]

Dillon Brooks is always on a mission to make his opponents’ life a miserable one to live. He even ratchets up the annoyance factor every time he comes up against the best players in the game. It’s not a coincidence that Brooks always turns up in matchups against Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James. And […]

All season long, the Dallas Mavericks have been on the hunt for a solution to their point guard problems. D’Angelo Russell became out of favor all the way back in preseason. Cooper Flagg was overtaxed as the team’s starting floor general. Brandon Williams wasn’t deemed good enough. So with the Mavs running out of options, […]

The Los Angeles Lakers looked like they were ready for battle to start things off against Phoenix Suns on Monday night. Luka Doncic, in particular, seemed as though he was on his way to another monster scoring effort after dropping 20 points in the first quarter alone. But then the Lakers capitulated in the second […]

The Los Angeles Lakers, on the second night of a back-to-back, got punched in the mouth by the Phoenix Suns even though the Suns lost Devin Booker to a groin injury. Filled with execution lethargy on both ends of the floor, the Lakers got demolished to the tune of a 125-108 defeat. In fact, all […]

Luka Doncic is a true hooper through and through. It doesn’t matter if he’s playing three games in four nights or a back-to-back set — he’s always going to be bringing his best. On Monday night, Doncic came out of the gates firing during the Los Angeles Lakers’ clash against the Phoenix Suns despite playing […]

On Monday night, the Phoenix Suns faced the Los Angeles Lakers in a clash between two division rivals. The Suns have been better than expected this year, entering this contest against the Lakers with a 12-9 record, but they are looking to exploit a scheduling advantage as they’ll be lining up against a team that’s […]

The Miami Heat are rolling. On Monday night, they made light work of a floundering Los Angeles Clippers team and took them to the woodshed en route to a 140-123 victory. This reworked Heat offense continues to impress, as all of their starters scored in double figures, led by Norman Powell, who put up 30 […]

The Detroit Pistons are certainly getting the heat from their fellow Eastern Conference teams; after a stellar start to the 2025-26 campaign, they have become the hunted among their peers. Thus, on Monday night, they took another haymaker from another aspiring East contender in the Atlanta Hawks even though they were on the second night […]

The Dallas Mavericks entered their Monday night clash against the Denver Nuggets with a 6-15 record, which puts them at 12th place in the loaded Western Conference. While qualifying for the playoffs remains a long-shot for this team, the Mavericks aren’t without hope. After all, Anthony Davis recently returned from a calf strain that kept […]
