For already the second time in the still young 2021-22 NCAA basketball season, Juwan Howard and his Michigan Wolverines have been defeated by an unranked opponent, as they lost to the Arizona Wildcats Sunday, 80-62, in the Roman Main Event held in Las Vegas. The Wildcats dominated Michigan from start to finish, with any hope […]

Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings scored a massive victory in Week 11, as they kept their postseason chances very much alive by taking down Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers at home.

The New York Jets suffered yet another loss in Week 11, falling prey to the visiting Miami Dolphins, 24-17.

The Seattle Seahawks are technically still in the hunt for a playoff spot, but it feels as though this isn’t going to be one of those seasons where Russell Wilson, Pete Carroll, and company are going to make it past the last week of the regular season. A disjointed offense is largely to blame for […]

Baker Mayfield and the Cleveland Browns have looked shaky in a lot of games this season, and that includes those that they have actually won.

Not a few Florida Gators fans have been voicing out their displeasure with the team for most of the season, and it probably hit its crescendo Saturday night when Dan Mullen’s squad fell prey to the Missouri Tigers on the road to the tune of a 24-23 score. That loss put the Gators below .500 […]

The Missouri Tigers hit two birds with one stone Saturday night, as they not only defeated an SEC rival in the win over the Florida Gators at home but also clinched bowl eligibility with that victory.

Ja Morant of the Memphis Grizzlies is something else. That’s as simple as you can describe him with the kind of season he is having. But if you dig deep enough to find out why exactly Morant is playing the way he is this year, you’d find that he is getting lots of success by […]

It’s been an up-and-down season for the Cleveland Browns. They are arguably the most underachieving NFL team this season. They started the season with a stacked offense just like last year, with Baker Mayfield under center and the pair of Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham Jr. as main targets plus the duo of Nick Chubb […]

The Dallas Cowboys are running away with the no. 1 spot in the NFC East division, and a big reason for their success is the greatness their defense is showing on the field each week.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams did not hold back when he tweeted fiery words about former NFL running back Zac Stacy, who is accused of physically attacking his ex-girlfriend.

Shaquille O’Neal isn’t the biggest fan of Utah Jazz center Rudy Gobert, which is something the Stifle Tower is very much aware of. While Shaq has taken quite some shots at Gobert in the past, it doesn’t mean that Gobert hasn’t tried to get back at the Hall of Famer. Just take for example the […]

Kansas City Chiefs star safety Tyrann Mathieu has had enough of the slander going around Twitter about New England Patriots rookie quarterback Mac Jones.

DeMar DeRozan is playing like a superstar who wants to have his own Space Jam movie.

The Green Bay Packers will go as far as where Aaron Rodgers takes them. That’s the most acceptable truth about the Packers over the past several years.

Ezekiel Elliott and the Dallas Cowboys rebounded from their 30-16 loss at home to the Denver Broncos in Week 9 in style: Dallas destroyed the Atlanta Falcons in Arlington Sunday to improve the Cowboys’ record to 7-2.

Russell Wilson’s return from injury was not enough for the Seattle Seahawks to overcome Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers, as the Seahawks (5-5) lost to their NFC rivals at Lambeau Field Sunday, 17-0.
