Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice wasn’t happy that his son fell in the seventh round in the draft, but he should be happy after this latest news.

Caitlin Clark has garnered a lot of attention over the season, and the result of that is the Indiana Fever playing in bigger arenas so fans can see her play. Just recently, the Fever played at State Farm Arena to face the Atlanta Dream, and 17,608 fans came out to see the game. It almost […]

ATLANTA – The Atlanta Dream hosted the Indiana Fever on Aug. 26, but not where they always play.

Even though the Dream were still at home, they lost to […]

Giannis Antetokounmpo has been one of the top players in the league for years, and he has some hardware to prove it.

The Cleveland Browns are going into the regular season with a few injuries, but they just got some good news for one of their players. The Browns will go as far as Deshaun Watson takes them, and he’ll need to stay safe in the pocket if they want to win games this season. The only […]

The San Francisco 49ers are dealing with two players who want new contracts, and both look like they could potentially go over into the regular season.

Before Will Levis became the future of the Tennessee Titans, Malik Willis was supposed to take over the reins. Fast forward to now, Willis is fighting for a spot on the team, but he may have made a good case for himself in the preseason finale against the New Orleans Saints. With 1:53 left in […]

The Las Vegas Aces defeated the Chicago Sky after a last-second buzzer-beater layup from A’ja Wilson. It was the players that executed the play, but it was the coach that had to put it in motion for the players to run it. As a coach herself, Dawn Staley understood that, and she gave Aces head […]

Puka Nacua put the league on notice last year as a rookie, and his brother, Samson Nacua, is trying to shock people as well on the New Orleans Saints.

Stetson Bennett has been battling in the preseason to be the backup quarterback for the Los Angeles Rams while Jimmy Garoppolo misses the first two weeks. Head coach Sean McVay wanted to see if Bennett was up for the challenge, and his play has helped his case for being the QB2. Bennett didn’t play in […]

James Bradberry has had a good training camp for the Philadelphia Eagles, but that hadn’t translated to the two preseason games that he played. The cornerback didn’t play in the final preseason game, which usually means that they made the roster, but head coach Nick Sirinani didn’t confirm if he would be on the team […]

Bryce Young is looking to lead the Carolina Panthers in his second season and leave his disappointing rookie year behind. He got off on the right note in the Panthers preseason game against the Buffalo Bills. Head coach Dave Canales was brought in to help Young elevate his play, and he only had four words […]

It’s always hard to beat a team two times in a row, and the Atlanta Dream learned that after losing to the Phoenix Mercury 82-80. The Dream won the first matchup, but the Mercury came back around and made sure they would leave Atlanta with a win. Despite the loss, head coach Tanisha Wright was […]

The Atlanta Dream have been on a roll since coming back from the Olympic break, winning three straight games. One of the main reasons for their success has been health, with Jordin Canada and Rhyne Howard coming back from their injuries.

They’ll be looking to add to the streak against the Phoenix Mercury, who they beat in their previous game. A lot of good things happened in that game, including Tina Charles moving to […]

With the NBA schedule officially released, one thing that’s for certain is that every team will be playing each other at some point during the season. The one thing that’s not for certain is how those teams will perform, which makes things interesting. For the Atlanta Hawks, they finished last season with a 36-46 record […]

Kelsey Plum won her second straight gold medal in the Paris Olympics as Team USA defeated France, but she also learned a lot of things this time around.

Despite the Kansas City Chiefs beating the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl, the Chiefs had some shortcomings in their wide receiver room for most of last season. The Chiefs had the most dropped passes in the regular season, leading with 44, but luckily they were able to overcome. Kadarius Toney had a few […]

Nikola Jokic’s Serbian team was close to defeating Team USA in the semifinals of the Paris Olympics, and one of the reasons was because of Aleksa Avramovic. The sharpshooter couldn’t miss at one point, and three-pointers are valuable in the NBA. That’s why it was no surprise that Avramovic received interest from teams in the […]

Through two weeks of the preseason, the battle for the starting quarterback position for the Pittsburgh Steelers is still uncertain. Justin Fields has played in both preseason games, and he’s made some good plays, as well as some that he can work on. Nonetheless, Fields himself thinks that he’s shown enough to make a case […]

Even though Caleb Williams didn’t want to be compared to Patrick Mahomes, he’s making it hard not to think that they could be the same player. Almost a week after Mahomes made his behind-the-back pass to Travis Kelce in their preseason game against the Detroit Lions, Williams decided to do the same thing, but in […]

It’s always a great moment when game recognizes game, and that’s what happened recently between CJ Stroud and Matthew Stafford, who has returned from injury. As the Los Angeles Rams and Houston Texans are set to face each other in the final preseason game, they did a joint practice to get prepared. During the practice, […]

Derek Carr maybe doesn’t get the respect that he deserves, even if he has the stats to back it up. Since 2016, Carr has 30 the most game-winning drives out of any quarterback with 30, but his name isn’t put on the list with some of the top at the position. Carr has been looking […]

Noah Lyles and Tyreek Hill have been talking about a potential race for the past few weeks, but nothing has been set in stone as of yet. What has been released is the betting odds if they were to race, and Lyles looks to have an advantage on Hill so far. The Noah Lyles vs. […]

Tina Charles moved up the record books on Aug. 21 when she passed Tina Thompson for No.2 on the all-time scoring list. The person at the No.1 spot – Diana Taurasi – was on the court to congratulate Charles on moving up on the list, and at the end of the game, the Dream center […]

The Atlanta Dream have been on a roll since coming back from the Olympic break, and they’ve been winning games in different types of ways. In their game against the Phoenix Mercury, it was the defense that led them to a 72-63 victory, and it started with just holding them to six points in the […]

Atlanta Dream center Tina Charles has moved to No.2 in the WNBA all-time leading scoring list, passing Tina Thompson. Charles is now behind Diana Taurasi, who the Dream played today against the Phoenix Mercury. After Charles moved up the list, a timeout was called and she embraced the crowd as they cheered for her. Taurasi […]

When the Atlanta Dream and Phoenix Mercury step on the court on Aug. 21, a little bit of history could possibly be made. Tina Charles is just 10 points away from moving up to No. 2 on the WNBA all-time scoring list, and she’ll be sharing the court with the person who’s at the top […]

With the NBA signing a new rights deal with ESPN, Amazon Prime, and NBC, Charles Barkley could have left TNT for either one of those networks, but he stayed loyal. Carmelo Anthony was one of the people who saw Barkley’s loyalty, and he wanted to show his respect to the TNT analyst for what he […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers are still having a quarterback battle, and it feels as if it’s 50/50 between who will start between Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. With Wilson having more NFL experience, there’s a chance that he will beat out Fields for the spot, but down the line, things can change. For now, some think […]

Gardner Minshew earned the starting quarterback spot over Aidan O’Connell for the Las Vegas Raiders, which means he’ll be throwing passes to Davante Adams all season. To make things better for Minshew, Adams has returned to practice after feeling sore in previous practices and not playing in the preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys. It’ll […]

The Chicago Bears No. 1 pick in the draft, Caleb Williams, has been getting fans hype on the field with the plays that he’s been making, but it’s the things that he’s saying off the field that should be getting people excited. Already through training camp and two preseason games, Williams has sounded like he’s […]

When Karl-Anthony Towns was drafted by the Minnesota Timberwolves, it was obvious that he would be the franchise cornerstone. Years later, the Timberwolves drafted Anthony Edwards, and so far he’s shown that he may have the keys to the organization. When situations like that occur, the media will try to put two players against each […]

The preseason is a time for players who may not see the field to show their skills, and the Atlanta Falcons are taking a different approach not playing Michael Penix Jr. The rookie quarterback didn’t play in the preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens, and he’s not expected to see the field in their final […]

Daniel Jones did not have a great appearance on the field for the first time since tearing his ACL last season, and there are more questions being asked about the direction of the New York Giants. With some changes in the offseason, the team is in a limbo state, but Stephen A. Smith is already […]
