Patrick Mahomes has grand plans for the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2021 NFL season. Well, it’s not just grand but also a historic one. Speaking from Hawaii, where he’s hosting the 15 and the Mahomies “Aloha Golf Classic,” Mahomes bared his intent for the Chiefs to shatter the NFL record for the best single-season […]

Matisse Thybulle is only averaging 3.4 points through three games in the first round of the 2021 NBA Playoffs against the Washington Wizards, but the Philadelphia 76ers are not asking him to put up points.

It’s not in Derrick Rose’s nature to put his team on blast when things don’t go right But by God, Julius Randle and the New York Knicks are getting Rose in a reasonable position to go full Gunnery Sergeant Hartman on his team. That’s after a hard-to-watch (for Knicks fans at least) New York 105-94 […]

It’s no longer a secret that the Atlanta Falcons have been trying to shop around wide receiver Julio Jones. While nothing about that has formed into something we can all take seriously, that doesn’t mean people are going to stop fantasizing about the possibility of seeing him play for another team — like, you know, […]

For over 24 seasons, Adam Vinatieri did nothing in the NFL but put points on the board, many of which were scored during his time with Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots. Vinatieri, who recently just made it official that he’s walking away from the game of football as a player for good, was […]

It’s nice to see fans in NBA arenas again. The timing is great also since it’s the 2021 NBA Playoffs. The Madison Square Garden was rocking Wednesday night during Game 2 of the series between the Atlanta Hawks and the New York Knicks. Nothing says louder that the fans are indeed back than a player […]

Derrick Rose is no longer the man. But at least in Game 2 of the 2021 NBA Playoffs series against the Atlanta Hawks, he was for the New York Knicks. With their best player struggling and throwing enough bricks to build New York another arena while at the same time facing the bleak possibility of […]

Every player in the NFL wants to have the feeling of job security. For Denver Broncos quarterbacks Drew Lock and Teddy Bridgewater, that feeling might not be all that full for them, especially with rumors flying around that Green Bay Packers flamethrower Aaron Rodgers could be traded, and one of the favorite destinations for him […]

Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks are thriving in the first round of the 2021 NBA Playoffs against the LA Clippers. But it’s not just Doncic who’s doing the heavy lifting for the Mavs, who are now up 2-0 in the series. If not for Tim Hardaway Jr., the Mavs could have crumbled and embarrassed […]

You got to feel for Damian Lillard after the Portland Trail Blazers suffered a 128-109 blowout road loss Monday to the Denver Nuggets in Game 2 of their 2021 NBA Playoffs series.

The Atlanta Falcons appear to be in a conundrum right now, with the team reportedly weighing the option of trading away superstar wide receiver Julio Jones. And according to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated, the Falcons told teams inquiring about a trade involving Jones that it would at least take a first-round pick for them […]

Aaron Donald of the Los Angeles Rams is a man of many things. He is a terror on the football field, arguably the best defensive player of this generation, and someone you don’t want to get into a drunken argument with at a bar. One thing he is not is a cornerback for obvious reasons. […]

There’s not one quarterback out there who would not want to have someone like Julio Jones, who could simply make passers look good. Atlanta Falcons signal-caller Matt Ryan could definitely attest to that, as someone who has benefited greatly from his partnership with the veteran wide receiver. But with rumors of the Falcons looking at […]

Shaq has no chill, man. That’s especially true whenever Charles Barkley is involved. During Sunday’s Inside the NBA show, Shaquille O’Neal went at Chuck once again, calling him out for dozing off during the first half of Game 1 between the Washington Wizards and the Philadelphia 76ers. It’s really not a big deal to sleep, but […]

The Philadelphia 76ers entered Game 1 of their playoff series against the Washington Wizards Sunday with a healthy roster, but it appears that the team will now have to deal with a key injury.

Tottenham Hotspur are not going to make it to the top four of the Premier League table, as they will finish the season with just 62 points. However, they have at least two positive things to talk about during the final day of the competition. One is that they just spoiled the chances of Leicester […]

The Dallas Mavericks are going to go as far as where Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis take them this season. That being said, the Mavs showed in their 113-103 win Saturday on the road against the LA Clippers to open up the playoffs that the team is more than just about the Euro Duo. The […]

Teams can’t get enough of Ryan Fitzpatrick, who’s become a legend of sorts owing to his penchant to extend his NFL career by bouncing around the league. Perhaps as a testament to both his durability and longevity as a utility quarterback in the pros, Fitzpatrick, in fact, is on the verge of completing a feat […]

Twitter is mourning the death of fairness in the NBA right now. They are lowering down caskets of premature tweets about how LeBron James was surely going to taste the wrath of NBA commissioner Adam Silver after it was found that the Los Angeles Lakers superstar had violated the league’s health and safety protocols. Did […]

If you ever become a zombie one day and stumbles inside the Lincoln Financial Field, there’s a chance that you’d end up as just another kill for Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay. We’re not talking about a video game here. Zombies aren’t real but Slay has already sent a warning to every braindead creatures out […]

Tim Tebow has spent most of the past decade away from the football field but is now back in the NFL fold after signing a deal with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Tebow last saw action in the NFL in 2012 when he suited up for the New York Jets, and if you tweeted back then that […]

We begin with the obvious: Phil Mickelson is a very rich man with an impressive net worth in 2021. We haven’t been to his home, but we imagine it to be filled with leather-bound books and smells of rich mahogany. That’s what being good at golf does to a person. But Mickelson isn’t just a […]

Portland Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum had a good time on Twitter Wednesday night while watching the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors duke it out in what turned out to be the greatest play-in tournament game in the history of NBA play-in tournament. Of course, LeBron James was among the reasons why […]

Dennis Schroder remains one of the most important players for the Los Angeles Lakers despite a hideous performance in their 103-100 win at home over the Golden State Warriors Wednesday night in which he got outplayed by teammate Alex Caruso. Almost every Lakers fan on Twitter was virtually yelling at Lakers head coach Frank Vogel […]

With the Toronto Raptors’ season over and done, the attention of the franchise now shifts to team president Masai Ujiri.

Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks will once again deal with the LA Clippers in the first round of the 2021 NBA Playoffs just like a season ago.

There are a lot of things going through Deshaun Watson’s mind right now as he tries to deal with a controversial series of lawsuits.

If you’re a fan of either the Boston Bruins and the Washington Capitals and feels as though every Stanley Cup Playoffs game between these two teams has always gone down the wire, it’s simply because that’s been a trend for years now. According to the Twitter account of the NHL Public Relations, that streak is […]

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady only has three more fingers left without a Super Bowl ring. There could only be a couple remaining by the time the 2021 NFL season ends, but of course, winning a Vince Lombardi Trophy is easier said than done, especially when most people of your age typically spend Sunday […]

Ryan Kerrigan is moving on to the next chapter of his NFL career, but he’s not going anywhere outside the NFC East.

Focused or not, Brooklyn Nets Kyrie Irving successfully barged into a pretty exclusive statistical club in the NBA after finishing the season with neat shooting splits. But we shouldn’t be acting here as though Irving, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Durant were the only ones who shot the lights out in the regular season. Joe Harris […]

The Detroit Lions are coming off yet another forgettable season, but at least one rookie is showing great excitement for what lays ahead of him with the team in his first season in the pros.
