Apart from […]

It’s been almost a year since Dak Prescott suffered a gruesome ankle injury in a Week 5 game against the New York Giants in the 2020 NFL season. That cost the Dallas Cowboys quarterback the rest of the year and put him on an arduous path to reclaim his spot as the team’s starter. The […]

It’s been almost a decade since Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James last won the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award, but even though he’s turning 37 this coming December, it’s still not easy to count out his chances of winning his fifth Maurice Podoloff Trophy.

If you’re wondering about […]

The San Antonio Spurs have missed the playoffs in each of the last two seasons.

Monday night was a forgettable one for Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles as they were ripped apart by NFC East rivals Dallas Cowboys in a 41-21 road loss in Arlington.
