On Sunday, a video went viral of Brooklyn Nets star Ben Simmons tossing up an airball at an outdoor practice event for fans in a Brooklyn park.

The Atlanta Braves entered Game 2 of their National League Division Series against the Philadelphia Phillies trailing 1-0.

Kyle […]

The Los Angeles Rams Week 6 matchup versus the Carolina Panthers reeks of bounce back game. It is truly needed as well.

Matthew Stafford […]

The Kansas City Chiefs Week 6 matchup against the Buffalo Bills is the game the world has been waiting for. Last year, they played in one of the most exciting football games anyone has ever seen. The Chiefs defeated the Bills in the AFC Divisional Round playoff game to reach the AFC Championship after a […]

The Philadelphia Eagles Week 6 matchup with the Dallas Cowboys is must see television. There will be stars all over the field, on both sides of the ball for both teams. That is probably why this game will be in primetime on Sunday Night Football. The Eagles are the last unbeaten team in the NFL. […]

The Minnesota Vikings Week 6 matchup against the Miami Dolphins has a number of interesting angles to it. The Vikings survived a scare from the Chicago Bears last week. They build an early 21-3 lead, only to see the Bears storm back for a 22-21 lead in the second half. Thankfully for Minnesota and Vikings […]

The Indianapolis Colts have been one of the NFL’s biggest disappointments through five weeks. They are 2-2-1 and have looked dreadful on offense. The Colts are dead last averaging just 13.8 points per game this season. One of the major factors contributing to that has been injuries. All-Pro running back Jonathan Taylor missed last week’s 12-9 […]

On Tuesday, the Seattle Seahawks signed veteran defensive end Bruce Irvin to their practice squad. Irvin was drafted by the Seahawks with their first round pick back in 2012.

The Cincinnati Bengals entered Sunday Night Football looking to climb above .500 for the first time this season.

The Seattle Mariners could not have scripted a better start to their ALDS series with the Houston Astros. They hammered Justin Verlander and chased him from the game early.

The Chicago Bears lost their second straight game Sunday, dropping a divisional game to the Minnesota Vikings 29-22. Despite falling to 2-3 on the season, the offense showed signs of life. There certainly were some positives that can be taken from the game. However, there are also of course some issues that cannot be ignored. […]

On Tuesday morning, the New York Yankees listed designated hitter Matt Carpenter on their ALDS roster. Carpenter has not played since early August after breaking his foot.

The Baltimore Ravens appeared to right the ship Sunday night. They defeated the Cincinnati Bengals 19-17 in a pivotal AFC North matchup.

The Green Bay Packers entered Sunday’s matchup against the upstart New York Giants looking to improve to 4-1.

They were hammered by the Minnesota Vikings on opening day and it took overtime to beat the […]

The San Diego Padres entered Sunday’s win or go home matchup against the New York Mets with a pitching advantage, at least on paper. The Padres had Joe Musgrove on the hill pitching against Chris Bassitt in Game 3 Sunday. That turned out to be good news for the Padres, as they took care of […]

The Dallas Cowboys improved to 4-1 after a 22-10 win over the Los Angeles Rams Sunday. The Cowboys did so without a stellar effort from wide receiver CeeDee Lamb or running back Ezekiel Elliott. However, the Cowboys defense was absolutely dominant in the victory. All-Pro linebacker Micah Parsons had a big hand in the defense’s […]

The New England Patriots entered Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions looking at a 1-3 record.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers entered Sunday’s contest as double digit favorites against the visiting Atlanta Falcons. For three quarters, Tom Brady and the Buccaneers were in complete control of the game. They led 21-0 and probably should have led by more. However, Atlanta scored twice and converted a two p0int conversion with over four minutes […]

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers survived a 21-15 win over the Atlanta Falcons Sunday. However, it did not come without controversy.

On Sunday, the Los Angeles Rams host the Dallas Cowboys in a pivotal NFC matchup. The Cowboys have won three games in a row with backup quarterback Cooper Rush at the helm.

The Golden State Warriors have already announced that they are not planning to suspend Draymond Green for punching his teammate, Jordan Poole, at practice.

The Indianapolis Colts somehow pulled out a victory at Mile High Stadium against the Denver Broncos Thursday night, winning 12-9 in overtime. The game has already been criticized for being one of the worst NFL games ever played. But at least the Colts had some excuses. All-Pro running back Jonathan Taylor didn’t play with an […]

The Indianapolis Colts entered Thursday night without superstar running back Jonathan Taylor. If that didn’t hurt the Colts offense enough, just three plays into the game against the Broncos, backup tailback Nyheim Hines left the game with an injury.

The Atlanta Falcons have been one of the surprise teams early on in the 2022 NFL season. They are 2-2 and coming off an upset win over the Cleveland Browns. However, during the course of the game, rising star tight end Kyle Pitts got nicked up. He suffered a hamstring injury that kept him out […]

On Tuesday night, New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge surpassed Roger Maris’ American League record for the most home runs in a single regular season with 62.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are coming off a brutal 41-31 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs last weekend. The loss dropped Tampa to 2-2.

The Kansas City Chiefs are coming off a blowout victory over Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week. They likely are feeling very good about themselves.

The New Orleans Saints Week 5 matchup vs. the Seattle Seahawks will pit two teams going in the opposite directions against one another.

The Major League Baseball regular season concluded for the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday.
